More tidbits from Animal Crossing’s devs, including series’ future
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Joystiq has published a few Animal Crossing-related tidbits coming from series creator Katsuya Eguchi and New Leaf director Aya Kyogoku. You can find them rounded up below.
– With the original N64 game, Eguchi’s team was focused on making a second place to live rather than a game
– With so many different perspectives of life existing in the world, it’s difficult to build a universally welcoming foundation for everyone to find their second home
– The team kept this challenge in mind when starting on New Leaf
– This resulted in the game’s development team encompassing members from different age groups and walks of life
– Staff could submit clothing and furniture ideas to asset designers no matter their role on the team
– Animal Crossing is built on the foundations of knowing that most of life’s highlights stem from interacting with other people
– Items offered through StreetPass are meant to encourage that sense of sharing from other players
– If many people head to a store in search of an item, Kyogoku hopes that they’ll StreetPass with one another during their visit
– Eguchi views StreetPass as an incentive for players to take Animal Crossing with them in their daily lives in case they cross paths with other StreetPass-savvy players outside of their primary homes
– Eguchi said that maintaining the calendar’s influence is part of why the series has stayed away from implementing microtransactions
– Special items are more about rewarding event attendance and less about filling out a checklist
– In the future, Eguchi hopes to reach regions he feels are untapped like Australia
– He also wants to use the quirks supplied in Nintendo’s hardware to show off new elements of life in Animal Crossing’s world

Following this week’s listing for Inazuma Eleven GO: Light, the OFLC has now rated the game’s second version. Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow was added to the Australian classification database yesterday.
As we mentioned previously, “Light” matches up with the Japanese Inazuma Eleven GO version “Shine”. “Shadow” should also correspond to the Japanese title “Dark”.
We’re waiting on Nintendo to make an official announcement about Inazuma Eleven GO for Europe and Australia, though these two ratings suggest that news is coming soon.

Goodbye Galaxy Games shows off “Gomba”, game creation tool for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Goodbye Galaxy Games is working on a new “rapid prototype game creation tool for Nintendo 3DS” known as “Gomba”. The software provides game-makers with a game engine, level editor, simulator and C-like scripting language and debugger. According to creator Hugo Smits, “Non-programmers can probably create a simple game in just a hour.”
Smits is currently building Gomba for Windows. He hopes to turn it into an online tool, which may end up being created in Flash. A beta could arrive as soon as this summer.
You can find many more details about Gomba in Smits’ blog post here.
