hello hello hello everybody man I I feel nostalgic being here like this it it reminds me of my very first stream it's kind of crazy that we're we're finally here at the end of this island guys my name is stny if you're new here welcome back to Animal Crossing Today We are touring my Island elisium um I really shouldn't have got out of that already see I'm already it is just like my first stream I don't know what I'm doing still um I hope you're all doing very well today what is today Wednesday happy Wednesday um elisium is a rural Japan kind of gibl Countryside inspired Island I suppose um I've been working on this for about a year now um and yeah I don't know we've we've put a lot of hard work into this island I really love it and yeah I guess let's just get right into it shall we um I set the dream address so let me go ahead and do that fancy if it will work hello there we go so we have a dream address for alysium now um it's set at around this time during cherry blossom season and yeah feel free to check it out if you like it has been so long I like it's a little over a year now like let's see it's the 19th I think I started like June 15th or 16th or something so about a year on this island pretty pretty good timing I guess I would say I definitely didn't plan this but um thanks for being here in nland um trying to think of a good place to start to be honest I guess let's go this way so here's the entrance pretty simple I've got some train tracks I have arrived hey datsu glad to have you here buddy um you you didn't get here late we kind of just started um I'm flies when you're suffering in the South yeah I guess so you're not wrong you were there for the bulk of the time I've been working on this so that's kind of funny to think about um so yeah let's just get started we got this little bless stop right in the front of town along the road and if you go down this road we have a little gas station going on um I'm curious to see whose houses I'm actually going to be able to go into I decorated the inside of Tad's house like a little convenience store I I'll be sorry for not checking in look I'm just happy when you guys are here you know like we don't worry about the other stuff um this was one of the was this the first build I did I think it might be I can't honestly remember but I think this might be my very first build so it's PR fitting that I'm showing this one off first I don't think I actually changed it at all I still really love this build it's honestly still one of my favorites I love this little I love these gacha machines have we done these in real life Guys these are the most fun things ever it's like serotonin we basically have the same exact thing here in America but I don't know they make my little brain happy so but yeah I love this build um just below that we got this little parking area nothing too crazy end of the train tracks got a lot of these dirty cars around cuz I feel like my island is just a little little not dirty but a little dingy you know a little old a little worn in um I guess we're going this way first then so there's a bunch of things you can do over here we'll start on the beach cuz the beach is pretty simple just a little Beach uh Little Beach Surf Shack and then we have got little changing area vending machines Recycling and all that it's not dingy it's rustic you're right you're so right um played some gotcha machines when I was in Japan oh no did you get the same character man when the stars align and you get the exact thing you want out of a gacha machine it's truly The Best Day Ever um so here back up we' got a little uh privacy Ramen stand where you can get your order and eat your dinner in peace and not worry about socializing and stuff like that I saw one of these online and I thought it was very cool cuz I think you just fill out your order on a piece of paper and then they just kind of pass it to you through like a privacy booth and you just have this little booth that you can have your Ramen in or whatever food you're having in I assume they maybe do more than just ramen at some of them but I don't know um I changed that little Weir open sign above it cuz I thought that looked cute um you could get a nice little little picture moment here if you decid to come visit it sounds like my luck you have pretty good luck in those I feel like we'll go up first um up from there which I don't think Kiki is home either but we have a little Bakery we have Kiki's Delivery Service if you will our Lu now hell yeah communism but yeah Kiki has a little Bakery set up um I really like the inside of it I'm hoping that you will be able to see it in the da I'm not exactly sure if you will be um but then if you go through the bakery you have Ye Old video shop remember when those used to exist yeah me neither he use delivery surface yeah yeah I have a I think I only have two gibl references in here but um I had to put some in you know whenever I open any Blind Bags yeah I have way worse luck with blind bags than gacha machines I feel like the few gacha machines I've like most of the stuff I've gotten got a button of my favorite character once that really made my day better um but yeah the little video shop kind of tucked in trees behind I did this pretty early on too I don't even remember I think it was when we were hunting God who are we hunting for I don't know but Kiki kept showing up on my hunt and then I decided that she need needed to live on my Island because she's my favorite villager and I simply could not resist cuz I found her like two or three times on a hunt which was crazy cuz cats are kind of rarer to find the one you want you know so um next to all that going on we had this uh construction site which I I got inspiration for this whole kind of stairs area online I'm going to try to link all of the references and um like I referenced pictures on Pinterest and a few videos so I'm going to try to link all this and hunt them down in the description of this VOD when that comes out but um yeah I I I like the construction when all the new stuff came out I really wanted to use it cuz my last Island was not very modern Molly is still here yeah yeah we'll get to Molly um I'm hope we'll be able to go in her house maybe I I think you'll like what I did with Molly's house but um yeah I wanted to use all this uh construction Furniture I just thought it was all so fun and I like all the scaffolding and stuff I've kind of placed around yeah I couldn't let Mol go um kind of this isn't really the way I intend to walk around the island Val has arrived everybody welcome buddy thanks for being here um but beside the construction I have a little kind of area where I feel like the construction workers maybe chill out eat their eat their lunch drink their pop stuff like that hope you're doing good today though um yeah so let's go this way to our most recent build I guess um our Rock Garden can you call it that I think it came out really cute but I don't know if it really is much of a rock garden I tried I don't know why I thought making a rock garden on the peninsula would be the greatest decision just with placing and stuff um I went in a bit over my head with this one I think we'll we'll try to plan a bit more ahead on the next one H good point yeah un fortunately tank I did not get him back in time for the tour I'm afraid I don't know I feel like I might need to have him on my next Island to to pay back all of the all of us who Miss tank I miss tank I'm going to be real um but yeah this was a the last build that we did we have a little rock garden kind of like a monument area of sorts I'm not exactly sure I didn't even talk about my outfit that's what I want to talk about at the beginning I I dished my sweater at the last second in favor of the Frog shirt because I thought that would be fun I think this was one of the first shirts we got in the game actually but I thought it was cute I thought it was springy what the [ __ ] you have Dad on your shirt where's the Tank tank we're going to have to we're going to have to find I'm really just rubbing salt in your wound that CAD is on this island and not tank poor Tad he doesn't deserve all this you know when does beardo make appearance honestly I'm thinking I'm going to save beardo as the grand finale I think I think that's what I've decided um we'll come back to this area but these beaches are just pretty plain I just put some wave Breakers and such and then over here they got a little picnic yeah don't spoil it beardo is at the end he will come don't you worry yeah we got this little picnic area I feel like this is another cute little like Photo area like that's pretty Dam cute right I don't know I've outdone myself I'm just kidding um but yeah just a little picnic area probably could have benefited from me putting a little blanket down but hey you live and you learn yeah those little treats they look so good all the food in this game looks delicious like look at this little Sushi H I'm so sad Coco is not home no one's home I want to show off their houses it's going to be like the houses I decorated like normal houses at her home um but this is Coco's house I turned it into a conveyor belt sushi restaurant she's she's slacking on the job gosh Coco get back to workk it's been sitting out for a while yeah it's just got all these cherry blossoms sticking out of it good stuff but um I really like the way this build came out um I guess check out the building houses video if you want to see it since Coco is not going to be home right now cuz I really like that one I I like the way we use the conveyor belts I thought that was really cool that build was a lot of fun um and then next to the conveyor belt Sushi we have a little Boba food truck get your Boba there's some little tables yeah go up to the truck get your boba um okay we'll go back that way it's kind of an awkward area cuz we're kind to going to have to repeat a little bit but that's okay um if you come up this way on the road this is kind of like you can drive on this road but it's like it's a known dead end unless you take the turn that way but um we got just have these little side shops you know little little walkways little side shops so you can get whatever you need from little bikes little little fake buildings and such let's see let's go this way this reminds me of yeah it does remind me of my first video right like it's kind of making me super nostalgic I'm kind of just like what is this is this feelings we getting Boba hell yeah we getting Boba um so over here is kind of like tucked away that I basically made this little faux tunnel that like goes under this big bridge that I made out of land so it doesn't look like a fake tunnel but you know we pretend we pretend um nothing too crazy over here just a little the vending machine area look how far we come a our little girls grown up um yeah just the road let's go this way um back here we just have a little back alley situation kind of behind the sushi restaurant there's some fish and boxes they're getting their new stock in you know I remember that too you're killing roaches left and right I was just stomping on roaches I'm probably going to stomp on even more roaches today um I really like I like a lot of these backstore areas I've done though just cuz I like I like cram and cardboard boxes all over the place no wonder there's so many roaches on my Island the blood bath of 23 um back in this corner so this is a little internet slash obviously real life reference because a YouTuber I watched named Sophia niggard when she went to Japan once she found this little Alleyway of vending machines and I wanted to make this little vending machine corner just crammed full of a bunch of vending machines and I really love this little area I think it came out super freaking cute I just love all the crap I kind of stuffed back here like I love the random shopping cart you know like someone's just chilling reading a book chilling in this Alleyway you know I don't know I think this area is cute also I didn't know what to do at this place so you know why not shove a bunch of vending machines there um and then when you come this way you kind of get into a more naturey part of the island there's a few of those not too many but um this is the campsite all right I want to see what time we're at I need to not fly through this too much um but this is campsite we got we got little Maps kind of like hiking and stuff and little campsite sign little bike obviously the actual campsite tent um and yeah just a chill kind of cozy little area rast marshmallows and stuff ah nature exactly you get it you get me man I love roasted marshmallows that's a god tier snack okay just like anybody who doesn't like roasting marshmallows we have beef now um but yeah back here just another little tent little little Shrine in case you want to uh say anything quick on your way through I'm going then back here behind the campsite we have a little onsan area just a little chill place to you know soak and Vibe and all that take care of yourself I love all these little like hot spring items it it looks cozy back here I do need to walk slow because of the lag I also realize I need to get some of my notes out because I got to accurately talk about some parts of the island where are my notes apparently I have misplaced them that's not good um if I can't find them we're just going to have to do our best also I spun my headphone jack around before before stream started I really pulled a classic get up from my desk and not take my headphones off so it just yo off my my Noggin and I didn't think people did that in real life but here I am um I don't know where my notes are also so we're just going to do our best what do you mean marshmallows don't know if I've ever had any have you not had marshmallows before I'm like I need you to explain um but yeah just a little hot spring on sin I like this I think it's cute I always like to decorate the beaches because I don't know I feel like people skip over the beaches I think I said this in my first stream probably but I like decorating them I think it is fun it's also really challenging ing which is kind of fun you're not too late hello I was like we're going to backtrack a bit anyway so no worries hey thanks for being here welcome to the tour I'm back through the vending machines I love that build so much um and then this I guess we're wandering upon not really but kind of our semi first sort of anime inspired build basically skate the infinity is one of my favorite shs and I wanted to make a skate park in a city so that's what I did um and this one is so fun to me it's like very out of my comfort zone just a lot of really weird layering and stuff and I just think it's a lot of fun um not as big of a thing over here really interesting cuz it's just like whipped I guess it's not always egg white but like sugar and stuff so interesting but yeah I really like the skate park there's a lot of stuff tucked into into like the nooks and crannies you know like I can't actually get over there and also tilting down like that is highlighting the fen is being it even but um yeah I just crammed really as much as I physically could cuz this kind of corner was a little bit awkward to try and line up these inclines which I used for little ramps that I did definitely see online and definitely did not come up with that on my own someone else did something else maybe it was just different inclines I think I could have sworn people use like a Furniture item too that was slightly different than this but um I really like these blue inclines I probably wouldn't use these under barely normal circumstances and I think the pop blue is very fun and yeah you can just do trick shots and make my Island explode and watch everything LIF into the backround anyway um just just a little skate park lots of lots of skateboards Ling all over obviously another vending machine it's debatable whether vending machine or this fence is my most used item on this island probably I use entirely too many um okay I think that is it for that little section Shon egg game he is on X Games we'll go this way cuz it's kind of not a ton going on so this this is kind of like a little walk up Alleyway that just brings us back to the convenience store Ramen place um I just wanted to do like a little walking Alleyway with like little buildings kind of lining it and making it kind of narrow and like not like claustrophobic but just you know like there's pathing you have to go certain ways kind of stuff love the vending machines everywhere honestly I just I always see those vending machines I punch my mic I always do clearly I need to work on that but um I always see the little vending machines all over Japan and they just have such fun things in them and I want to try all of it got to put those Crocs in sport mode absolutely I wish there was Crocs in this game I feel like that'd be funny um but yeah anyway just a little just little Alleyway kind of situation back here is the car of the convenience store owner I made it blue because tank used to live there and we decided blue would be good for tank so technically it's probably still tanks car um I'm trying to think directionally where we should go I think we'll stick to down here this brings you to the square everybody knows here we got the flag I like the way I kind of um tied everything around like kind of enclosed it a bit I think that's fun I don't know I like surrounding things and like Cliffs and stuff and making it feel kind of sunken in I guess I think that's fun I need Crocs IRL I've never had them oh my gosh you guys talking about Crocs um trying to think let's go this way let's go this way first um so speaking of Molly now we're at Miss Molly's house and she is home M manga Molly has a little manga SL bookstore um so some other little anime references that I wasn't quite sure how to like make full builds for cuz what am I going to do with Attack on Titan on like a relatively contemporary Island but I love Attack on Titan so I had to include some little Attack on Titan manga over there on the right some hor Mia on the left we love a romance um but let's go inside it's funny that this one is like Molly's home because the inside of this is honestly L not actually my most favorite buil um compared to the other houses I made Molly does sell manga in Molly's manga store exactly you get this beardo is the Beast Titan clearly I should make an attack on Titan Island and beardo should be the Boost TI I like the way you think um but yeah just a little cozy kind of manga shop I wanted to Crocs are dran experience I like how the Crocs keep keep coming um the inside of this isn't my favorite I wanted it to like balance with like bright colors of it like looking more like a manga section but also because everything on this island is kind of not retro but like you know this isn't like this island isn't 2024 you know this island is maybe like 80s or '90s I feel like perhaps maybe the early 2000s I don't know but so I wanted it to look a little bit dingier like how everything else on the island kind of looks and I'm not sure that it all really goes together but um you know it's still cute you can still get you books here get you some ultra rare Cowboy bbot manga that goes for like a bajillion dollars online can't say it one time fast say that five times fast yall are a trip hi Mary what's up bestie I forgot she calls me ESP beans it might be I could be totally wrong love the Crocs talk should I get Crocs let me know as beans have you heard there's going to be a fishing Journey oh I haven't played a single fishing diry on this file I love Molly she's so stinking sweet um but yeah she got a little checkout counter just a bunch of books little Globe the choices you make in home furnishings are based on your innermost desires but that's not the case for me at all wow I built her house she said I do not like that Globe jeez okay on that note let's go we should get Crocs we need to do that like uh buy4 sale again I forget what it was and convince everybody to get Crocs um let's go this way okay so it looks like micho's home so next on the house docket I guess we're really just going in order like this but michino has our Fancy Sushi restaurant so there's a lot of buildings in this area area it's kind of like this is like the city area you know so we're we're exploring our businesses at this moment I don't need convincing to get cracks speaking of cooking a what was there I think a table so she's kind of messing with the vibe a little bit but that's okay I already that those are butterflies I thought those were Rous I was like wao what are they doing to I'll take a free pair exactly we get you the free pair so where is the Nicholas Cage Shrine you know I never I never included Nick Cage maybe I will on the next Island somehow because vampires could potentially be relevant and it wasn't he recently in that terrible vampire movie I forgot about the Nick CAG on this island I really really did um anyway let me get off shino's dialogue called multitasking Sunny have you heard of it already know that recipe apparently says maybe but means no way in hell I got to give you guys hope you know um but yeah this is the sushi restaurant just a little cozy fancy place you know I got a nice little bar little Sushi want sushi I haven't had sushi in a minute um but I like this place it reminds me of um hobo which is a place that we used to go to when we were in college and it's still probably my favorite Sushi plat ever which is insane because it's in the mountains so tell me how that makes sense look at youo thinking but yeah Shino is the owner of the sushi restaurant I love the red wallpaper I just love The Vibes in here you know let's keep reminding her of this the cage requires tribute Jesus Christ I'll include vampires on the next Island and we'll say that's a Nick Cage reference that's about as good as I can do you um speaking of the next Island stay tuned till to the end and we're going to do our next Island reveal oo Stay Stay excited um but yeah Sushi sush um and then we have another building that we're immediately going to go into cuz we haven't watched National Treasure 2 yet oh my God stop trying to make National Treasure 2 happen um this is a little outdoor seating area in case you take your sushi to go I suppose um and then right next door to the fancy sush is a bar not is any bar this is Lupin bar this is a bar that exists in real life and also makes a special guest appearance in another one of my favorite anime bungo stray dogs and I just love the way this came out I think it's so fun um basically it's just not a Speak Easy but kind of like a very small quaint place like there's only a few seats and it's like this long bar like this and basically the you come into it like you go downstairs and it's just like this narrow little room like basically cut off the other half of the room kind of kind of experience but I wanted to make it based off that cuz one I would love to go there one day two I wanted to include bungo St dogs because I love bngo St dogs and three it's a beautiful place in real life so I like the way this came out so much I don't know what else to say I just like it all the jars up there I think is fun I downloaded that plate and cup pattern specifically for this I never changed the exterior of this building before I put up the dream address whoops that's my bad oopsie um but yeah cozy little pool table um I I wanted to include some writing references because the characters in bungo are based off the real life authors of the same name so I wanted to include just a bunch of books writing areas you know this is where the the authors are come and chill even though that was I guess a variety of times depending on which characters SL real life people you're referring to but um got to catch Willie watch Wily's Wonderland the cage plays a silent protag Tilly but fun discount FNAF that's insane the hell is Willy's Wonderland and why does it sound like Willy Wonka but horror cuz I guess that's exactly what it is that's freaking ridiculous I love that wow um yeah not much else to say about this room I tried to mimic the lighting um as best as I could to kind of resemble how it looks in real life to as much as you can in Animal Crossing you know but I think it came out okay I like that staining glass light a lot oh I just our first victim of the night rest in peace sir rest in peace it's not too far off actually I got to go what has happened you come back for one stream and now we're talking about Nick Cage again I did not sign up for this anyway let's continue roach kills do they put the kids into the candy I hope it is like horror Willy Wonka um so through this kind of little Alleyway Behind these buildings we have a bunch of things we've got a post office kind of nestled in here kind of kind of shoved in here a little bit but um honestly I just missed the post office in the original Animal Crossing so much so I was like you know what I'm making a post office and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me so that is the main reason of this build because boy do I miss Pete in the post office um but yeah just little packages overflowing everywhere it's kind of like a array of buildings here like the post office takes up quite a bit of space but then there's like maybe a little Mom and Pop onstop Shop there's some homes up top kind of apartments that we will look into as we go around um that's why I'm back to talk about the glory of the cage my gosh you guys are something else um just a little rest area over here probably for the postal workers to come eat their lunch outside if they want or something have a little picnic by the cliff side um and then when you come back here yeah you get not only a view of all these little upstairs Apartments you know the little kind of overhead view but also the big ass Lake because apparently I can't make an island without a big ass Lake um it's hard to get a view of all of it to be honest cuz it's a pretty pretty big damn Lake um this was fun this took me way too long probably I like all the petals floating over it though that's really cute more like they eat the kids what um sorry what is the abbreviation I IC mean again I feel like a grandpa I'm like what does that mean that like one of those lol's God get me off the internet what she doing go back to bed grandpa um it does sound like a movie you and nylon should watch for horror movie night you're honestly completely right um I made a lot of these little like upstairs apartments in a lot of my fake buildings though and I'm a big fan I feel like I really came into it throughout the building process you know um speaking of fake buildings over here we got a school I really do like how this came out um this really this one really took some trial and error me writing that down cuz I was too scared to ask oh my God I love it oh if I remember correctly I'm thinking that you're talking about something else no that makes sense okay I know I've like looked it up before it's one of those things it's like that one and there's another one I never remember but this is the school just your your really run-of-the-mill school with those classic kind of Windows love her got I put this little basketball out here last minute I don't remember if I did that on stream or not I feel like I didn't though I ran by this little water fountain um yeah there's really not a ton to say about this besides that I like it little multi story moment no it's fine you don't have to clarify I just had to get caught up um by the School obviously there's a little bus stop got to love a little bus stop I love these little retro Transportation stops I think they're so sweet I am a big fan um but yeah kind of a similar situation on this side to the other if you come all the way over here this connects to the bridge and then there's just cars driving on through we have a little truck delivering stuff not not delivering to any of these buildings but like you know know just how you see trucks on the road by the way how much time did all this take to build um do you mean like a specific build or just like the whole island in general whole L whole island in general basically about a year cuz basically like a few days ago was like my kind of oneyear stream aniversary I probably should have done something like celebrated or something but um I did not do that um but yeah about a year on all this especially since we kind of added some other games in there in the meantime so a little bit under SL over a year this was supposed to be done like weeks ago I've just had stuff coming up cuz you know sometimes life comes up but pretty happy with it overall um so if we come back down from the school we got another little boba shop because I had the sign and clearly I had to make more than one Boba place because I love Boba um Boba boba's life Bobo is everything yeah we have this little little place tucked in how did that feel been streaming for a year now oh God it's crazy cuz it feels like longer but also not that long I recently not recently maybe like a bit ago was kind of just like checking the quality of the vods I upload and I like peaked at my like very first stream for like a few minutes and like I feel like I don't sound as nervous as I was when I first started started you know I also can't believe it was year cuz yeah just last summer that's when I was started it's crazy though but I I think I definitely did not sound as nervous as I actually felt um and yeah now it's I don't know I felt I guess weirdly nervous today just because like I felt really nostalgic but um it's just funny how like night and day it feels you know cuz I'm kind of just like Yep this is what we've been doing versus last time I was like oh my God I hope I hope everybody likes it and stuff like that but yeah I can't believe it's been a year um I put these little trash cans on the side of the road just cuz I thought it was cute City you know whatever um but yeah I don't know I'm just happy to be here man um okay let's go this way we're kind of backtracking a bit we're going to we're going to backtrack a little bit on this island it's okay I don't think I got the pathing down fully cuz you can't really loop as much as I would like um but if you come this way this is another one are super early builds it's the the nuke shop never thought you sounded nervous at all wow honestly that's that's so funny that you don't think I sounded nervous I don't know I feel like really by like I don't know it's it's weird because like doing the streams themselves after just a few I was like yeah okay like I'm just playing Animal Crossing you know yeah I like the way I I rearranged it slightly did you just hear me completely lose train of thought in the middle of me talking that's so funny I really like the front of the store but um but yeah I just like I don't know I definitely would always be nervous on my stream days but um actually doing it was like so different than like waiting to do it I guess that's kind of a thing I'm a person who like when I have to wait is when I get nervous versus actually doing the thing like you know going to the doctor doing whatever it ends up fine when you do it you know but um just waiting I get nervous but um definitely definitely probably am not anymore I feel like I've really gotten into it CU we just kind of all chill together and do the thing I guess I don't know um but yeah this is a Nook store anyway every time I hear the shooting star sound my brain is like Star oh that's right I don't have my my game on so I don't even hear it that's so funny um let's go this way first because this is kind of like the back side of the store we got obviously more vending machines and ABD love her you get a lot of more time to convince yourself that'll be scarier yeah that's kind of the thing well I mean gosh before that I had been ready to stream like I don't even know at least a year but then I kept chickening out and getting nervous just cuz I don't know I was like what if people who were mean to me when I was in high school find it and make fun of me and you know just dumb stuff like that just get in my own head but then I was like you know what like I want to play Animal Crossing again so I'm going to stream and use that as an excuse so that is exactly what I did um I don't know I'm not like a super successful streamer or anything but I guess my my hype of the day if you want to stream just do it cuz it's fun um yeah I don't know that's that's the best tip I have I don't know about analytics and all that I'm just here to have a good time was so hyped to start and then you got so nervous when you actually started yeah I don't know again it was kind of like that thing where it's just like the day of stream I was like oh my gosh I'm streaming again today and then I'd start I'd be like yeah okay we're playing um but anyway behind the store we have a little seating area for the nooks to take their breaks eat their little snackies um and yeah just Just Trucks unloading I I got that designed to make an actual Nook truck I like that a lot I think that's fun just do it Shia would be proud of you oh Shia as in Shia little buff never mind I was like who's Shia I was like she sounds nice oh my God I'm such a middle-aged mother SLG grandfather maybe it's grandfather I hope I give more Grandpa Vibes than than Gen X your Vibes um but yeah we got a little garbage I feel like I should have put more trash here to be honest it just feels a little lonely he running with a knife um but yeah that's the nooks that's one of the other earlier builds we do I feel like I'm all over the place trying to tour this um but yeah then we have their little bike parking obviously I feel like everyone always does little tricycles or two bikes to symbolize the nooks and their parking situation and I simply could not resist I also had to do that I love that little bike sign I think that thing is the cutest I don't know something about it it really just it makes my brain go bur you know a lot of the design codes I really love I really I want to on the next Island I want to actually write down all the codes I use and have them somewhere in case people actually want them because this island I simply just did not write them down um where do I want to be sorry I want to be here actually I thought I needed to go around for whatever reason um this is another early little fa building we did I love the red Transportation stop I think that one's a lot of fun I like how oblong it kind of is on the right side but yeah this is just a little cafe kind of area outside of nooks and all that little table little chilling I made these little like buildings I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to be but just just to fill in space add structure and stuff um so this way you can kind of cut go through to the nooks um let's go this way and then here we have another little Beach area pretty simple just some surf boards and of course more little references so I couldn't simply make a whole island without referencing haq because we all know I love haq it's just a little volleyball boys doing their thing um and Gulliver apparently he he's just resting he can stay there but yeah um ever since they added the new volleyball net I was like I got to do beach volleyball you know like I I just got to so I added a little volleyball cart the little score sheet and yeah just a little Jersey be like hey volleyball bro did get knocked out by the ball he's just like Canada for real anyway have a good nap golier see you next time take care buddy yeah I like that little beach I think that one's one of my favorites just cuz it's pretty pretty simple um but yeah little little area little vending machine little capsule machine not sure why one would just be on the street the train tracks continue over the bridge and so do he's face down in the water kind of he's just he's just water boarding himself at this point um okay when you come I like how I just moved on I'm like he's just waterboarding himself anyway he's on the beach he's just taking a nap he wanted the sand kept him warm he just want to take a nap um so right over the bridge we have the train station I like this one I think it's cute this one I also was inspired by I can't remember who but but um I found that little sign and just thought it was darling you know so had to use it I think I saw that and I was like I have to make a train station literally because of this but I like the like old like Town kind of I'm the train tracks feel you know like I love these little piles where's the balloon at I didn't even see it which way is it oh there it is go if it was like right here I would understand it's like so out of the way you guys always want me to go get balloons how to Traverse I have to go back over so I think we'll go like in a circle let's go clockwise is that clockwise no that's counterclockwise we're going counterclockwise the island looks absolutely amazing thank you I really put my heart and soul into it I I I really just wasn't familiar with City stuff at all so I'm very pleased at how it came out I can't take complete credit I got a lot of inspiration which is why like I said I'm going to try and give credit to everything that I could physically find because a lot of this I did not come up with on my own because I don't think I physically could for City Island to be honest hopefully my next one will have a few more original designs but and I gave my own twist to pretty much everything but I definitely had some help along the way the Animal Crossing girlies on Pinterest truly are a lifesaver um here on this beach is just kind of a little you know little shower station kind of get sand off you type thing why does that look like Boomer bile it kind of does actually I make a left 4 dead themed Island it's my next city island is going to be a zombie infected Island that would be kind of cool actually I don't know how you would incorporate houses into that Boomer but that would be kind of funny actually so maybe if every single Island doesn't take me an entire year to complete cuz if that that's the case we're talking like 5 years ahead of time at this point cuz I have like another idea after the next one I don't know if I'll actually do that though get to the boat um Lion tone great so coming from that area when you get over here you have a liman in his little fish shop the Lyman is a fisherman I made him it will take us a year to beat do not say that almost there gosh I don't know if any of you play left or dead it's it's like a old school zombie shooter not is it is it it feels crazy to call it old school it came out in like 2008 but we we've been stuck on a level for I don't even know how long too long um but anyway this is lyman's fish shop I really inspired it by Willies um from starter Valley and I think that really comes through maybe not in the colors but in this kind of front setup I really like how that turned out CLA is so cute I'm glad we got her I should say hi to them well this isn't a coincidence what a pleasant Pleasent Pleasant surprised to see you here nlet you're so cute I love her I didn't know you were friendly with lman I'm friends with everybody on this island what do you mean we should all sit down with a nice mug of heral tea and have a chat I can't see L and drinking herbal tea I'm going to be honest um but yeah I love this little fish shop I love can I get through I don't think so they're kind of in the way I wanted to scoot behind the counter and talk to Lyman I love Lyman I'm really glad we got him too cuz I think it was like between him and Gonzo for me for koalas but I really I'm happy with lman h oops I completely forgot I left my fish container out I guess now you know the big secret to my aerobics routine oh I forgot Lyman is a jock and not lazy Chester is lazy I don't know why I got them mixed up in my head that's funny let's keep this between you and me okay I remember being like please get him yeah I'm really happy that we decided on him maybe I can actually get through now oh yeah there we go but yeah just a little fish shop I do think it really looks like Willies which makes me happy I would also kind of love to make a stardy valley Island actually like make Pelican Town kind of one for one that would be really fun this is just becoming a stard dud Channel I guess apparently but yeah super simple I really like this house his is one of them I think I say most of them are one of my favorites to be honest but I really love the way the inside of that came out and I especially love the exterior because not only does he have his little shop but he also has a little fish market and I love this build so much H I love it so much I love the way everything's crammed in here I love the lights we've got his little fishing boat I love it I I love it I love this one so much I think this is still maybe my favorite build because it's just like I love all the fish items you know I love these containers and the outdoor air conditioning we all know how much I love the outdoor air conditioning um I love these like drying racks the barrels like this is just a bunch of my favorite items combined into one build and I love that little that little design cat on the stall too just like the little net I just think it's all so much fun I love this build oh my gosh and these these fish trays look at that Big Tuna the Tank's way too small for him um I love these little fish trays though I think those are so much fun too and yeah I just I love this build I love all the the fish in their in their little uh what are those called tanks I was going to say jars I was like that's not right I love this whole area it's it's definitely still one of my favorites and I love the way I incorporate the dock into it too this I think I just came up with um and it's pretty simple but I just shove some stuff here you know and I just think it's real cute you know how much I love the outdoors thought you were going to say you know how much I love the outdoors I do love the outdoors what do you mean look I love the outdoors but it just needs to be a specific type of outdoors I don't like Concrete in the middle of summer I do love the mountains in any relatively cool month um let's see let's go this way even though again not really the way I have planned to walk through here um but yeah this is kind of the area lead I could have just walked back that's what I should have done that would have been better and more organic cuz basically you can take this path back up from lyman's house I like I just added this random little cone to the train tracks but I really like it I don't know why I'm very happy with this whole little area yeah cross back over the train checks you kind of are back in this not really Park but kind of parksh area with the pretty little Fountain speaking of what time is it okay we might not get to see that go off I'm afraid um but yeah just a little seating area back by the train station you can sit and VI look at the look at the fountain I added that light which I think is nice in the area um and then if you come through here they have a little market that's all kinds of stuff little games little treats um I I made this build kind of around New Year's so I guess it kind of gives like a New Year's Festival kind of vibe but um obviously it's not New Year's anymore it's cherry blossom season but I know they do festivals kind of all year round so what Festival this is specifically I do not know but I think it's cute and I really liked being able to use this game I think that's a lot of fun and I haven't used those items yet really either but yeah there's just a bunch of shops you know there's a bunch of food bunch of boxes I kind of wanted to make it so it was like a bit like a maze and kind of tucked in here and you have to go through all of it I Like This Little Light walkway thought that was a lot of fun and yeah just wanted to add there's more more fish market stuff probably lime stock there's like games and toys and ice cream and dessert and stuff and I think the festival Vibe is a lot of fun um going up these beaches pretty simple I made a random little lavender farm just to fill space just to chill and then back here we have a little tea house nice little tea house I honestly I guess you I was going to say I wish I put a cushion here but you can't actually put a cushion like underneath these but um yeah just a little tea house let me do one of these hard to show it because the Palm Tre is in the way a little bit I just want to make a little tea house building kind of situation overlooking the water and stuff I don't even remember when I did this wasn't that long ago but I say now like build wise like it's probably been like quite a few months since I've done this but build wise it was probably like 3 or four ago maybe I don't honestly know um but yeah just just a simple little area I wanted to make the little tea house and I like it overlooking the water I thought that was nice another little Shrine I wish I put moss on that but that's okay and yeah just just very simple little beach um the rocks are always interesting to build with cuz it's kind of like what can you put on them you know um but yeah let us go and I know I said the fish market was my favorite build but but this might be my favorite build cuz this is a build you know like this is this is a big boy um so this I based on let me hang on I can't access my computer that's a weird thing to say but I basically base this on um can't remember if it's shinjo or Shinto now off the top of my head I did a bunch of research basically I wanted to make this respectfully accurate to like real life shrines that you find in Japan and such but um yeah you walk you walk through the Tor you bow perhaps not through everyone I don't think but yeah I just made this Shrine area and I really I think it came out really beautiful I really like how Serene it is up here compared to the rest of the island you know I like the stairs kind of leading up to it just feels like secluded you know um and I really enjoy that but yeah I did a lot of research in this video and now I can't remember everything I looked up but this is kind of the area where you like Ladle and clean your hands um before you go to like give your blessings and offerings to the the Cami they're called um which are not really like Gods but kind of like deities of sorts if I if I misspeak definitely correct me but um it's kind of like that sort of thing and then you can go and leave donation offerings at The Shrine there's like a belly ring which is kind of symbolized on that pattern back there I couldn't exactly um recreate that an animal crossing cuz it's kind of like a big I'm moving my hands if you guys can see me but like a big like Bell that you kind of like pull it's like a rope kind of thing um don't be sorry for being late though vashy thanks for being here you got here just in time for the shrine that's what matters I do think this is my favorite build um I don't know I just like how quiet it feels up here it just feels very peaceful um but then over here is where you get the little Omar um and these aren't the exact I think one of these is Korean and maybe the other is like uh red envelopes Chinese New Year perhaps I believe cuz they don't have everything in this game but I thought those looked kind of similar you know to the best of my ability to recreate an animal crossing but these are the little offerings that you tend to see people get for different occasions you know like get well soon and hope your pets feel okay kind of stuff like that like um a lot of people come for like good exam grades type stuff yeah they came out it's again it's like New Year's items so a lot of this is very like New Year's feeling but I do love it with the cherry blossoms though I think it really is pretty with them again that's a good angle of it um um but yeah I don't know I I love it I don't want to toot my own horn or anything obviously it's not super accurate and I don't know everything but I I really enjoyed researching for this it just was a lot of fun to like you know at least to an extent educate myself on something new and like try to be respectful and like just learn about something new so I I really enjoy doing that for this island and I want to learn more cuz you know I want to go to Japan one day and I want to be respectful and see all the really cool things but um yeah I'm really happy with this build it's definitely probably my favorite but I like a lot and I just I just love it I just think it's so nice I love the cherry blossoms up here I love the little shrines I love the Tor kind of guiding you through it I just think it's neat um but yeah there's a lot of little items like that for like the like the seasonal stuff and Animal Crossing um in this category yeah so there's like right now I guess it's prom season in America that's what America has um and then there's like that cool Plant I'm curious what that symbolizes I like that in this I know old Animal Crossings have done it as well but I really enjoy in this the cage Shrine oh my gosh um I like in this Animal Crossing how there's a lot of really different cultural things from like all over the world I know the old Animal Crossings kind of did that too but I like the store where stuff is from and I think a lot of them say the holiday typically too yeah like I don't know what that is how to pronounce it what that means but I like that it like says where it's from and then what the occasion is I think that's really cool I just think it's a cool way to expose people to new stuff that they might not know about even if it's obviously not the most informational but I digress I'm yapping um when you come down from the shrine and past the market um Festival you have the Able Sisters which I definitely was inspired by a video because I had Able Sisters in another spot and I really liked it but excuse me not me burping um but I I don't know I just felt kind of uninspired and then I was like you know what this is my Island I can move it if I want to and I saw this video and it reminded me of the Able Sisters in New Leaf and how it used to to be like the hair stylist on top in two stories so that just made me feel super inspired to do this and I don't know I really like how it came out I love the multistory I think it's a lot of fun um like the clothes hanging out out front it was really hard to build up here actually and like have room like I still feel like I should be able to put something there because like I can walk here um but I don't know anyway I guess I can't walk there so maybe it doesn't make sense that nothing fits um but yeah I really like the twostory yeah I do love this side of the island honestly as much as I just got done talking about how much I love the other side I love this side too I don't know I I really I would hope I would love my own Island but I do really enjoy how most of this came out I just I'm very pleased a lot of really talented people on the internet inspired me for this island and it was just so much fun doing something super different than what I typically do so I don't know this this little island is like my love letter to like Animal Crossing people who are creative on the internet Japan and the things I want to learn and obviously anime even though I don't know that makes me sound like one of those people that's like anime but anime I don't know anime's done a lot for me over the past few years and I won't get too sappy cuz that's like okay whatever but I found some of my favorite shows through anime and you know past couple years have been something so it's it's just nice been able to confide in fiction that way sort of thing but anyway like I said I'm yapping so now we're going to move on up I believe we have I I should I always mean to show my map at the beginning and then I don't oh my god um I think we've gone through everything on that bottom half though I want to say so we're we're wrapping up here I just kicked something under my desk I hope you guys didn't hear that but if you did it's okay uh inspiration can come from anywhere honestly there's so much beautiful stuff portrait I think I've just enjoyed consuming something that's not explicitly Western fiction because it's so different in so many ways and obviously every piece of media has its quals that's definitely not what I'm saying but like just seeing different perspectives in certain aspects has really been nice because certain Western fiction tropes kind of drive me nuts um so it's just nice to see things portrayed differently and again just gaining New Perspectives I do like the map though um I like that I decided against covering the whole map in pathing for my roads because it used to just be like a big black uh not black brown I was like do I know colors big brown slab and it just looked kind of Muddy and sad so I'm kind of glad I decided to change that even though I think it maybe doesn't look as good physically just cuz I feel like the path kind of makes the like codes look a bit softer on the ground but um I like how the map turned out I think it turned out okay for me um so we're back in the Square kind of back in the front if you don't want to go look at all the rest of the city you can instead come up on the big bridge and there's little businesses on this bridge honestly I don't know if these were the vibe for this Bridge overall I still like it but I'm just like is this like a weird thing to include I don't actually know um but yeah just a little little cafe kind of small food truck type things not food truck um street food type vendors I need to drink you guys all should do that too sorry that's why I'm like like in your ear it's cuz I need to drink water because I won't stop yapping even though I guess that's what I'm supposed to do um but yeah you come up those stairs there's two on both sides there's scaffolding and buildings surrounding the community center whatever that building is called I don't even remember anymore but then you can take this big long land bridge to the back of the latter half of the island um Chester is also not home but Chester has a plant shop and I'm sad that he's not home um but if you come this way you have a little little street food corner all kinds of food um I changed up this little building recently very happy about that I like it much better yeah just little drinks fried food um I always think street food in people's videos and blogs look delicious um so I I just wanted to pay a little homage to stuff like that cuz you know I don't know as much as I don't eat fried food that much like I feel like you find the most beautiful fried food in other countries and I just I had to include it I simply had to it all just looks so Divine um yeah I made this little building I'm really happy with how this little one came out I don't particularly know why but I just I enjoy her what can I say I just do um but yeah little drinks little phone booth just like classic filler type stuff little buildings and stuff thank you for saying my island is beautiful like I already said I got so much inspiration from people online so I'm not about to take credit for some of this stuff but um I do really love the way it all came together so thank you I appreciate that about a year in and this is what we did feels pretty good to me um let's go this way high Wolf Gang there's like hardly anybody home I feel like um but if you come across this bridge this was one of my later whole areas to be honest like we just kind of worked on this whole area over the span of a couple weeks and I really love this corner of the island too um so we have this little park right here I included some soccer not really because of
