While i continue to make additions/revisions to Serene Isle, it may be an appropriate time to log my experiences with this year's acnh craze.

After completely overhauling everything (including replacing each path, relocating each possible building, digging up & re-planting each & every flower/tree, and evicting several villagers) I can say that picking this up during these winter months has been a rejuvinating and reassuring experience. It felt comforting to see how my own creativity has grown since my previously half-implemented ideas. assembling that fitting island flow where you could see yourself taking your own vacation in that one spot was as rewarding as it was to knab my first lily-of-the-valley.

will never not say that being able to craft multiple items at once, obtain different DIYs than you already have for the nth time, and having villager interactions not feel like reading the same few dialog lines would be nice. I suppose that wasn't what I was looking for with my playtime here - as I was more interested in using this games tools to craft something I could be proud of.
