Wow, you're losing tons of space here.
9 square of river vs. 6.

 

[Philia]

EXACTLY. :\ Its kinda sad that majority of the layouts offered is pretty crappy.

So as long as we don't choose the winding river lay out, we'll be fine right?

 

[XaosWolf]

but how does that let me buy the game early digitally without having to buy another 3DS XL

also will they fix the scratches on my current 3DS XL

and how will they fulfill my need to go to new york city

i mean it's the big apple not the big cherry

i do not know much about cherries

You lucked out, friend. According to Wikipedia:

This one's not too bad, just add another bridge:

It has lots of space for paths, and the

Ideal Layouts

I wouldn't mind that middle one!

 

[B00TE]

Wow. Happy we get four choices to sift from now at least. Less time spent resetting if things don't end up well.

 

[OverturePT]

While we're kind of talking about the town projects... If there's one disappointing thing about this game for me, it's the lack of any projects on the beach. I would have loved to see beach chairs, umbrellas, sand castles, etc.

Spoiler

gotta save it for the next revision right??

Aww, really? I'd love stuff like that (I live very close the beach myself).

 

[StayDead]

I like my 9 square river thanks

I know. I thought that sharing the fact of "ideal" layouts will be very beneficial for everyone involved who's going invest their bulk of their time in this game for over a year like I did. Choose wisely people!

That's what I was thinking too... Maybe Nintendo will add this later on with a patch ?

One can only dream

I love the beach in the Animal Crossing series. I always find myself wandering on it !

 

[Kouriozan]

Also... source.

I was waiting for you to put this, thanks!

 

[SmithnCo]

Ew, the river that starts at the top and ends at the leftmost side is cringe-inducing. Actually any river starting at A is pretty bad.

Hmm... Some of those terrible layouts actually have really nice 'nooks' to put a cozy house or

in.

No problem you should note that the other half is the other side of the beach. There's beach on the left and there's a beach on the right. L and the flipped side.

 

[darklin0]

Some of the windy rivers look bad. I may be going for a straighter river this time.

 

[SmithnCo]

I'd like a nook too, as long as it doesn't result in a crazy ten-square river. I want at least one 'secluded' house.

 

[Stoof]

I don't like any of the ones that have the river making the part of the beach you swim to really small. Like any of the A6-F6.

 

[Philia]

Agreed. -.-' I cannot believe how many obnoxious ones there are.

Does it really matter though if you can build bridges?

Sure but only if you don't mind wasting a valuable space for an Orchard or a huge garden for an example.

[Robin64]

I suppose a winding river takes up more space, leaving you less room for public works.

But it's also kind of interesting, too.

Pros and cons!

 

[SmithnCo]

I don't like any of the ones that have the river making the part of the beach you swim to really small.

Yeah... That would bug me too. I'll have to consider that and the amount of squares the river takes up.

I keep trying to get excited about this game, then I come in here and people are talking about how they hope their city has exciting looking fruit.

I think I just want that firs time AC feel again.

but these are exciting things if you've played Animal Crossing before :O

 

[1upmuffin]

Sorta related to the discussion at hand, which Animal Crossing do you guys think had the best town generation?

 

[Fezzan]

So you can take pictures wherever right? what buttons do you press?

I dunno. I kinda like the idea of just making something beautiful with that I've been given. No plans to reset because of fruit, villagers, or layout. That first town I step into will be my town and I will own it like a boss

after I get done paying Nook back for everything

We're talking about rivers too. RIVERS.

Please be excited.

 

[BooJoh]

I primarily cared about the save issue inasmuch as I was concerned my SD card might possibly crap out and destroy my town—could I back it up periodically? No. Physical release alleviates that concern for me since the save chips on Nintendo games are legendary. I wanted to back up in case of miscreants, too, but that seems impossible.

Here's one reference about the issue. I don't recall where the original was.

http://axaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=52160

I wonder if this has something to do with Pokémon X/Y in particular.

Is it possible to tell which of those layouts have waterfalls?

You'll pick the one you like best from the choice of four though, right?

I might do this too.

Is it possible to tell which of those layouts have waterfalls?

Yes. They all do. One where the river enters town and another at the beach cliff.

 

[Philia]

We're talking about rivers too. RIVERS.

Please be excited.

Yeah, what happened was...

FRUIT -> Orchards -> Rivers placement -> BAD LAYOUTS AHOY.

Is it possible to tell which of those layouts have waterfalls?

Every town has a waterfall by default. You can add another one by picking a kind of layout that allows for it. Don't ask me which one though, I have no idea.

 

[Kouriozan]

Same for me I guess.
I want Rolf but if I find an interesting layout I might never reset.
Need to know the Town Hall and Town Tree placement.

 

[Grizzo]

Is it possible to tell which of those layouts have waterfalls?

Each town has a waterfall

 

[Stoof]

I probably wont reset at all unless all the town layouts are complete garbage, I can just get the other fruits from my fellow GAFfers!

 

[darklin0]

Sorta related to the discussion at hand, which Animal Crossing do you guys think had the best town generation?

I think the original did, those cliffs were awesome.

Ok, NOW we're talking.

I'll probably still pick it up day1 with the poptartXL

What makes a town layout good or terrible?

Thanks for watching the stream those that showed up, if for any reason you missed it or want to rewatch it you can do so here:

Had fun with this. Especially the elephant at the end.

I stopped playing WW because of this. Time to move on.

 

[darklin0]

What makes a town layout good or terrible?

Rivers that take up more room than they need to, bad placements of certain shops. Some other stuff I can't remember.

Wait so these are all the random choices but you'll only see 4 each time you start the game?

Ugh, at least you can't get sunburnt in Animal Crossing.

 

[Philia]

Correct.

You do TAN though. Like... yeah. White to TAN.
