On Monday, I noticed something interesting about the kids’ smock that was for sale at Able Sisters…
Yes, it has a frog on it, and that’s cute. But more specifically, it has a wide, open area in the middle. That’s not the right shape for a frog’s mouth or the frog cap. I’m guessing it’s meant to be a name tag for kids…but to me, it looks like the town tune board.
Pretty interesting reference. And Animal Crossing games have been using frogs on town tune boards since the beginning. 🐸
Yesterday, I helped out Gulliver by digging up the parts of his communicator. Today, he rewarded me by sending me a Gala horse in the mail.
Label was in town tonight, and she wanted to see me in a formal outfit; that’s a pretty easy theme to nail. She gave me a rose-print jacket to use as an example, but I had something else in mind. I put on a vibrant tuxedo (a red one this time), a top hat, and some loafers. (I’ll need to buy a red top hat to match, although this one does have a red band and bow.)
Label said the look was perfect, and she rewarded me with some Labelle sneakers.
I then started working on a small obstacle course for the little area just south of my castle. I’m trying some things out, but I haven’t decided on a final layout just yet. But I should have it done before I open my gate again…which may not be super soon.
That’s because I plan on opening my New Leaf gate next week (June 9th) for that game’s 10th anniversary. Hard to believe it’s been ten years since New Leaf came out. I’m glad New Leaf has had online play officially supported for ten years, though part of me is upset that City Folk didn’t have that same opportunity.
Anyway, I posted a new video today taking a look at 15 features that weren’t in New Horizons, but I hope return in the next game. You can check that out here if you’re interested.
See you next time!
