Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Adventures On Marzipan

Large group of Animal Crossing New Horizons screenshots coming your way! These are from February 2021 up until October 2021. I wasn't playing the game much in 2021 so I didn't have many screenshots from my adventures. Some months didn't even have any! Managed to group together a fair amount for this play journal. Starting off with my greatest achievement: catching a scorpion! This is actual quite silly now as I have stacks of these creatures in storage.

Looks like it was Bill's birthday in the game! He is one of my all time favourite villagers and was happy to attend his party. Doesn't Hamphrey look adorable there with this little glasses? Also finally learnt the signpost DIY and this was one of the main ones I wanted! Now I can put them all over my island! After this, I've included some snaps of my character walking around the island and being dramatic. The in-game emotions/poses are quite amusing and I wish you could save more to use. I reckon I haven't used most of them as I always forget to change my set ones.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Chairs & Concerts

Onto the next set of screenshots from Animal Crossing New Horizons and we will start off with some fun fireworks snaps from the New Year celebrations. So happy I had my island decorated as it made the pictures look amazing! Plus how nice do paths look? I'm very much a player that enjoys straight pathways in the game so I try to make them as accessible as possible. The fireworks looked amazing around the island and I loved seeing the areas come to life. The shot where my character is letting off some streamers in the flower garden is a great shot!

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Villagers Sitting Down

These are the last few screenshots in Animal Crossing New Horizons from 2020. Boy did I take a lot of screenshots back then and that was probably the only reason I brought a large SD card for my Switch! if only Style Boutique was on the Switch then I would've maxed out the card. First off we have this cute photo of my character in the game wearing a strawberry themed outfit. Even has a matching umbrella! I tend to wear this style of hat quite often in the game or sometimes I switch it out for the beret.

A few snaps of Pudge being adorable as per usual. Clearly the best villager in my opinion and I feel he isn't respected enough. Everyone always makes fun of him when they visit my town :( One day I visited his house and he commented on all the Nook Miles I had saved up. Must've been when I had over 100,000 as that's the most I've ever had in game. I just save them up for ages and never spend them until I waste them all on pointless villager hunts on the mystery islands. Second set of photos is of Pudge working out in the Resident Services Plaza whilst it is raining. Nice choice of the weather right there.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Christmas & New Year Celebrations

Seems like a strange time of year to be posting Christmas photos! Looks like that is the event that I'm up to in regards to Animal Crossing New Horizons screenshots. I took too many photos during this season as well as the New Years countdown and I had to cut down to only good ones for this play journal. How adorable do Daisy and I look hanging by the festive tree in the plaza?

All my villagers got some wonderful presents and they look super cute with their little hats. I think Hamphrey looks the best because he is a grumpy personality villager. Who knows what they got because I definitely don't remember! And I don't even want to be thinking about Christmas just yet as it's always maniac at my work. Only two months until August when David Jones starts putting out their Christmas stuff.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Villagers Staring At Furniture

Another round of Animal Crossing New Horizons screenshots because I seem to have an endless supply of them. These were taken around November 2020 during the Spring season which is one of my favourites in the game. I just love how green everything looks and the flowers look gorgeous. First off we have this adorable photo of Bill asleep by the goose sign. How cute is this?!?!? I was very lucky to get this photo and it has been one of my favourites take in the game.

My island is coming along nicely and there are more paths in place now. I'm slowly working on the decorations around the town and I spend way too much time calculating how flowers should be laid out. I like to have a mixture of colours and styles around with some areas having themes. Still working on this area just to the left of Resident Services. It took awhile to figure out the terraforming and I quite like this design where the cliff divides the area from the beach on the left side of the island. Second photo is of Pudge being adorable by his house.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Springtime

Springtime in Animal Crossing is one of my favourite seasons in the game as the trees are beautiful and the weather is perfect! Just like normal Spring weather! These screenshots are from October/November 2020 so a fair while ago. Slowly getting through all my screenshots and at the pace I've been posting play journals, we should be up to current times soon! First up are some lovely screenshots of the area around my house during the cherry blossom season. I wish I could have these pink trees all the time as they match me pink house exterior perfectly!

My birthday falls in October so there was a birthday celebration of course! My best buddie Marshal hosted it at his house and I was so happy to see my favourite Pudge attended. Clearly the best villager and has taken the top spot for me out of all the villagers. Birthdays are quite cute in New Horizons however I didn't know everything I had to do for it. I had a busy day that day and didn't know I had to give the cupcakes to my villagers. They all missed out and I felt bad :( Oh well there is always next year! Kind of silly as on your birthday you are often busy and need to find the time to play (or at least change the in-game clock sneakily).

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Villager Adventures

I couldn't think of what to do for this week's blog post, so I decided on another Animal Crossing New Horizons play journal. I have enough of a backlog of screenshots to post another journal so let's go! First off we have the best villager ever, Pudge! He was hanging outside his house doing some exercise in the rain. Classic Pudge right there and his little face is so squishy!!!

There was a few villager birthday's in this lot of screenshots and I took some snaps at Marshal's big party! I love how the villager's visit each other's parties and doesn't Marshal look smashing in his little outfit. I need to get better at remembering my villagers birthdays! I have an Animal Crossing app on my phone now so it can remind me when a villager has one. If only I'll remember by the time I get to play at the end of the day after work.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Island Progress

Slowing making my way through old Animal Crossing New Horizons screenshots. We have finally got into the ones were I'm terraforming my island and it actually looks decent. Hard to believe my island looked this empty at one point in time and it seemed so much bigger! First picture is a lovely shot of a random bridge and you can just feel the calm from this picture. The sky was quite pretty this day and there was a light shower going over the island. Second photo is of Marshal declaring his love for me out in the middle of nowhere. This little squirrel is so adorable and couldn't imagine my island without him.

Speaking of Marshal, I crashed into his house one day with a mission. I was going to get him to stop wearing that hotdog outfit that a villager gifted him. It's just not his style! Thought the vampire costume was more up his alley and he seemed to like it. Looks way cuter and whilst the hotdog was amusing, it just made me cringe every time I saw him in it.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Villagers Terrible Fashion Styles

More Animal Crossing New Horizons content today! I've been playing the game quite a fair bit over the last month and actually finally started decorating my house! Which is going to take forever as I have no plan and I'm just winging it mostly. Let's start off this play journal with this adorable snapshot of Yuka asleep in the shopping district. Awww she looks so cute with her little glasses and detail on her feet!

Decided to clear out this orchid area of my island as it just wasn't working for me. Plus my villagers kept hiding in here and I could never find them! All the time they would just be singing in here and I'd be running around forever trying to find them. This area is prime real estate and I'm thinking of moving some villager houses here.

This play journal is full of bridge and incline openings! Yes I've had quite a few in past journals however I've decided on a layout for my island finally so that meant moving a number of bridges. Shame you can't just move them and have to waste so many bells demolishing and rebuilding them. I've relocated them to move strategic locations as I like having straight paths in my towns that allow me to run in a straight line across the entire area quickly. None of this corner nonsense haha. Done a bit of terraforming as well with some new cliffs and I'll be relocating quite a few villager houses to new zones.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Flower Madness

Anyone else been playing a fair bit of Animal Crossing New Horizons since the new update? I've been playing every day and I'm been enjoying all the new features. It inspired me to continue on with my New Horizons Play Journal series in 2022 and one day we will finally catch up to the current date with screenshots. I regret taking so many screenshots as it's taking forever to get through them! First up in this play journal is my character expressing how I feel trying to sort through all my screenshots. OMG why on earth did I think it was a good idea to cover all my beaches in flowers?!?!

Caught CJ stuck on my little island in the middle of the lake. Such an amusing spot to spawn and he can never escape! I don't actually don't to CJ at all so nothing was lost. I find him boring and don't bother with the fishing challenges unless I have really good fish to sell to him for extra money. After this we have a quick snapshot of a lovely snowboy I crafted one day! Great how I'm so good at making them in New Horizons but still never completed all the snow people series in New Leaf. Thank heavens the developers cut the series down to one set and it's super easy to obtain.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Winter Fireworks

Animal Crossing New Horizons recently had a massive update and so much content was added into the game! I've been playing it a lot and have barely scratched the surface of the new features. Whilst I'm enjoying the new update, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to continue on with my New Horizons play journals. These are old photos from 2020 so they don't contain any content from the new update. First up we have adorable Marshal hanging out by his house which I have placed near this little pond. It's like his own private oasis!

Next up is Marshal again and this time isn't as nice as I caught him in a pitfall seed. Unfortunately he just happened to be the nearest villager to me when I wanted to try the recipe out and he was the poor victim. I used to love trapping villagers in New Leaf in pitfall seeds as it had some great animations. I should really make more and set traps in the annoying places my villagers hang out in to teach them a lesson for sitting in annoying spots I can never find them.

A moment of silence for Mira's house as it just makes me so sad. It doesn't match her character at all and what on earth is it even? Like the dinosaur show is a cute idea but imagine having this as your house. She doesn't even have a bed :(

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - The Great Villager Move-Out

Isn't it exciting that Animal Crossing New Horizons will be getting an update? I'm super pumped for it when it occurs in November and I cannot wait! So today I thought it would be perfect for another New Horizons play journal! First off here is Bill who has decided to call Marzipan home and I love this duck so much. I had him in my town in the 3DS game and he was just the cutest! I'd never seen him before in Wild World and just knew I had to have him in New Horizons.

An amusing snapshot of Bob just chilling because that's what Bob does. His design is just perfect and he deserves all the popularity. I found him sitting in this random area of the island making this stare into the distance. I swear there are like 10 photos of this on my switch because I took so many haha. My SD card has so many dumb photos of Bob sitting around which I think is because he's so photogenic with his amusing faces.

Decided to move Annalise off my island as I wasn't that attached to her. Her design is adorable and one of my favourite horse villagers. I decided to let her leave so I could go villager hunting on the random islands and guess who I encountered whilst doing so? Only Annalise of course. I wish the game had some sort of function that didn't let villagers who have recently lived on your island appear. Like maybe have a memory of the last 5 or 10 to leave so you can discover new ones. When I used to play New Leaf, I never saw villagers repeat and that would be great in the switch version.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Play Journal - Artsy Villager Photos

Even though it is now Spring here, it's still winter in my Animal Crossing New Horizons play journals. These photos are from my backlog of snaps from the game during 2020 and I love looking back at them to see how much my island has changed. I thought we'd start off with two cute photos of my character chilling with the snowboy I just made. Get it? Chilling! I'll see myself out after that bad joke haha. The snowboys look amazing when the light catches their shadow like in this photo. I left this area open so I could have lots of space to create them. The second photo is of Eugene just being Eugene. I caught him staring out into the ocean and took this photo. I love when the villagers do this as it feels more unique than just running around like an aeroplane.

Opened up a new bridge on my island and this one is located by the Able Sisters. My great idea was the have a waterfall by the shop and I haven't done much else with it. It's a bit of a difficult area but I love this small river part where the bridge is by the waterfall that leads off from my house area. All the villagers came out for the bridge opening and today I only have 2 of these villagers left on my island. Amazing how many animals you can cycle through during the early parts of the game.
