Crafting isn't entirely new to the Animal Crossing series, but New Horizons can do it well. We've heard we'll be able to make furniture for a bit, but we haven't done much of it. The trailer gave us a sneak look at what we think would be a well-thought-out and flawlessly executed mechanic in New Horizons. and not the clumsily implemented mechanic we saw in Pocket Camp. When you first arrive on the island, one of the first tasks is to locate tools. so you can make more tools to find more resources, so you can make more tools to find more resources, so you can make more tools to find more resources, so you can make more tools to find more resources, and so on.
When you speak to the villagers in New Leaf, they will sometimes ask you to create a certain public works project. As a result, nook points seems that a parallel concept was also applied in New Horizons. Timmy has a couple of DIY cards for sale, one of which includes a recipe for a basic DIY workbench. Perhaps some cars are dedicated to particular large crafting objects, such as the workbench or other materials, whereas others are dedicated to the furniture sequence. To be able to make a whole set of furniture, we'll need several cards. There are also a plethora of Animal Crossing DIY recipes available online. Collecting the entire furniture collection has always been a long process thanks to pass play. Certain furniture pieces were only available at certain occasions, such as when red came to town or at Gracie Grace's insanely costly furniture collection.
After you completed the museum and paid off your home, you should still start collecting furniture. There are a few items to note about the crafting menu. At the top of the list, we see a way to sort through each type of crafting object. If you look below, you'll see that each object has a different colored backdrop. Perhaps each hue or pigment belongs to a distinct group. The two sets of furniture are from the fruit furniture collection. Both have a green backdrop and lighter green acorns, while the hearth nearest to it has a green background but darker green acorns. The blue backdrop of the ice furniture is complemented by blue acorns. It's a nice way to make it easy to see the various types of products. We may see equipment, wardrobes, and perhaps bigger furniture. Mugs may be used to describe objects that can be put on tables.
The yellow craft-able banner appears on crafting cards, indicating that we have enough resources to make this piece. A basket that may indicate that the handcrafted piece is already in your possession. and, most certainly, a checkmark indicating that you've already made this piece. And the paintbrush symbol in the upper right corner is the same symbol we see later in the direct, which represents the tools required to tailor the furniture to your preferences.
What are these crafting tools, by the way? Are these dyes derived from natural materials on the island, such as flowers? We haven't figured out where these dye packs came from, but they're essential for customizing furniture. You may also make a wooden ocarina. It's featured in a trailer released by Nintendo following the Direct. You can play it, nor does it do anything? Maybe it's just a fun thing, so it makes people wonder, "What more crossover things will we be able to craft?" This is a message from the creators that there might be more to come.
A panel with a lot of detail appears when you pick a particular object to craft. We can see the crafting group it belongs to, the item's name, and a star next to it. This is most definitely how you save objects as favourites so you can quickly craft them again. A very faint outline of the star can be seen in the upper right corner of the previous screen. We also see a grid that depicts the exact size of this object on the map. There's also a metric that shows us how much of a certain object we have in stock, as well as the money we have and will need to make the item.
Aside from fruit-related decor, the fruit is a crafting aid. This returns us to the possibility of a colored dye box. I'm not sure if they come in other colors; is yellow the only one available? or a variety of dye colors? We can see that the player has 48 of them, indicating that they aren't particularly scarce. If they're dyes, they could be derived from fruit or even flowers. We've seen video of a flower wreath being made with flowers as the main ingredient. In previous games, picking up a flower meant taking the whole plant with you. When you pick up a flower in New Horizons, though, the majority of the plant remains on the field to bloom more seeds. Now that we know flowers are a crafting item, this mechanic makes sense.
Crafting may be done with the decoration that comes from the pine tree. Maybe any pieces from the toy day furniture collection. Furniture made of mushrooms has been used in previous Animal Crossing games. The mushroom furniture was discovered while mushroom collecting; there's a possibility that each mushroom you pick up is a piece of furniture disguised as a mushroom. That may be the case this time, else we may have to pick mushrooms and furniture from the Arts and Crafts collection. In addition to being able to make the flimsy tool and shovel net, we can even buy those tools. We will also find "pretty decent equipment" in the nook miles incentives. So we know we won't have to make any of the resources we'll use in the game.
People are curious about the possibility and how crafting can progress in the Animal Crossing sequence because it is such a modern mechanic. According to what we've learned, the developers put a lot of effort into properly implementing the crafting mechanics and moving away from the boring, pointless crafting mechanics we saw in Pocket Camp.
