Sounds good, I was thinking of doing an animal crossing style game in future myself but I'm beaten to it! Any chance of a pic of two? This could be great if the real time thing is implemented well, like being dark in the game when dark IRL and different events depending on the time, even better if the seasons changed depending on the date too.
(Your site or link doent work btw)
I went to your site and downloaded the demo. This is a REALLY ambitious game to try to make! I think I would have rather seen your own artwork for the characters, instead of sprites from other games. Even if you can't draw very well, at least then they would be your own characters, you know?
Thanks! This game's a lot of work, plus I'm also trying to differential it from Animal Crossing, like how you do minigames for money. The full version has multiple side islands so you're not just cooped up in Picazzi Island. The multiplayer is in question. Maybe just for trading.
These will not appear in the demo! This is just news on the full version!
Updates=
Lighthouse
A lighthouse can now be found on southeast beach. It has broken spotlight. If you get Bulby, pops up on sundays, to fix it, you'll be able to signal Kapp'n to give you a rides to the Basidio islands.
Basidio Islands
Includes:Tiki Bar, Clothing Hut, Furniture Store, Hotel, House for Sale, and three residents. You don't celebrate holidays on the Basidio Islands because you should be spending most of your time on Picazzi Island. You can buy flippers in the store and a strong rope. Use the flippers to swim to areas of the Basidio islands you couldn't reach earlier. Swim to this one island and use the strongrope to repair a sailing boat, use it to go to another side island.
Holidays
The full version will celebrate holidays like Animal Crossing Gamecube. I was thinking about Religious holidays and of course Hannukah and Christmas come to mind. I'm from America,(the land of awesomeness!), and both are celebrated a lot. What non-jewish person hasn't dreamt of celebrating Hannukah? So I included both holidays.
Each day of Hannukah you get a peice of the snowman set. Then on Christmas eve, if you help Jingle you get another peice. On christmas morning you get a lot of items, one is the last peice of the snowman set.
Um yeah, and I found a way to keep every-almost everyone happy.
I began to think of how many UK people use this site and many other game sites. I'm american, so Picazzi Village will have american holidays. America and UK have similair holidays like christmas. But what about 4th of July and thanks giving? To Americans fourth of July is independence (from the UK too) day. And thanksgiving is the for when the Mayflower landed in North America(After leaving europe, which includes the UK).
Plus UK has to have different holidays than America, obviously. So why not have two versions? After the release of Picazzi Village, I plan on making a UK version to come about a week afterward.
Don't know how nessessary a seperate british version would be as i'm sure we have less events than America unless it's just to remove '4th of july' and 'thanksgiving' which we don't celebrate in the UK.
Looking through my calender the main events are:
New years eve - a firework display at midnight would be ace in the game
New years day
Shrove Tuesday/Pan cake day! (Feb 5th)
Valentines Day (Feb 14th)
St. Patricks Day - I mean, we all celebrate that, even though we aren't Irish! (Mar 17th)
Easter
Haloween - The characters should dress up for that, maybe buy costumes?
Bonfire night (5th Nov) - have to have that! (Do you have that in the US?)
and of course Christmas (how cool it would be to see santa in the middle of the night!)
We have bonfire's in the US. And we have demolition dirbies too! (Where you crash cars together and see who is the last one working) But that might not transfer to the Mario theme very well... Maybe if you used Karts?
If anybody is interested, I'm thinking about starting a Picazzi Village team. Message me if you want to join.

Wiiman, i have noticed that the parts when you re-enter back into areas when you have left them you don't appear where you should.
I already know, I was just too lazy when working on the beta to worry about it. Well, this thing has come a long ways! I'm gonna be working on the inventory soon. Instead of getting house upgrades, you'll be able to buy new houses on different islands! If you can't afford these you'll either have to stay in Kapp'n's cabin, where you can't manage your inventory, furniture, or watch TV,(All you can do is save & quit there), or pay 15 coins to stay the night in the end, which functions like the seperate house, only it cost money for you to save & quit.
Well, September will mark the 1 year anniversary of this project. I haven't had the project page up near as long in case you're wandering.
Aug 19th's my birthday btw.
