Rotating Fish

Jolly Redd sent me the sinking painting in the mail today, and I was happy to find that it was the real deal!

Flick was in town, so I grabbed some bugs out of storage. I sold him 13 wasps, 10 emperor butterflies, four dung beetles, and two tarantulas for 150,750 bells.

Around 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Logan and Bran were the first to arrive, and Bran fell into a pitfall trap. 😛

Timo and Alex from Pawnee also arrived. After spamming some emotions, we headed over to the obstacle course. I gave Bran and Alex a quick tour of the course, since Logan and Timo had already raced on it before. The four of them competed, and Timo breezed through the course and won by a large margin. Congrats, Timo!

We hung out at the plaza for a while, and then Marcus came over to visit. Even though he’s been on my roster for a while, this was his first time visiting. I did a little diving, and Alex tried to catch me. But I broke free of his fishing line. 😛 A bit later, we watered the ocean so it didn’t dry up.

We also hung out in my house for a while. As Timo held a frog out over a bathtub, Alex pointed out that the frog model rotates with the camera. We soon discovered that the same was true for other fish; horizontal fish would always face left regardless of how you moved the camera. So I could make it appear that Logan was holding this oarfish like a bazooka.

That must be a recent change, because I later checked some old videos and confirmed that the game used to display each fish angle separately. So you could see multiple fish from multiple angles, depending on the angle of the person showing off each fish. I’m not sure why they made this change. This new way is certainly less realistic.

At midnight, we gathered by the fountains for a group photo.

After that, I ended the session for the night. Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun! 🙂

Earlier today, I posted a video showing 18 Animal Crossing town tunes I’ve used over the years. Check it out if you’d like.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
