I DELETED my Animal Crossing ISLAND in 2023!

[@Gootz98]

This is such a fun idea. It's always nice going back to the beginning so you can appreciate all the progress you've made so far.

[@crossingcasey]

I’m really excited to get this started! It’ll be cool to look back to see the progress made!

[@Roxakur]

I’ve missed Animal Crossing but can’t seem to make the time commitment to pick it up again so I think this series is going to be a lot of fun! I will live vicariously through your videos 😂

[@crossingcasey]

I hope it helps entertain you during your time away from it :D

[@momsanimalcrossing1847]

I just finished day 92 of Hard Mode. Not sure I'm up for another restrictive challenge just yet, but I'll enjoy watching you and Mori Mushi! :)

[@crossingcasey]

I started hard mode for awhile but eventually fell off so props to you for sticking through it! Enjoy Mori's, myself and others attempt at this challenge in the mean time :D

Recently been playing daily for almost 2 weeks now and I'm enjoying myself a ton. Here's to you branching out! Editing is crisp as always my dude :)

[@crossingcasey]

Thank you! Glad you’ve got the animal crossing bug too 🩵 hope you like the series!

[@JoshPokestep]

It would’ve hurt deleting that save data lol! Looking forward to seeing how this island will turn out!

[@crossingcasey]

Yeah 😅 I just made sure to delete it without checking how much work I had done on it so I didn’t have to hard feelings! Thanks for watching :D

[@Jojoy99708]

This is so fun to watch! Also, your taste in flowers is great. I love Larkspurs!

[@crossingcasey]

Thank you! My partner is a florist and so I have learned a lot about flowers from her haha

[@sparksby]

Omg Casey! I almost named my forever island Larkspur as well (I was also born in July)! 😦 This was awesome to watch, the narrating, the editing - I really loved it! Excited for this for sure! 🥰

[@crossingcasey]

You commented this as I was watching one of your videos, how awesome is that haha. So cool you almost did Larkspur as well, July bday buddies! Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it :D

Omg hi sparksby!!

[@morimushi]

Ekkkk!! Thank you Casey for giving my challenge a go!! I hope it makes the game feel fresh and fun again ^_^

It has so far! I’ve missed being excited waking up to play AC every day haha

[@morimushi]

@@crossingcasey honestly SAMEE!! :D

[@SieSie.]

This video is giving me SUCH ACNH 2020 vibes when it first came out and everyone was so excited.. the vibes are immaculate. Dare I say, it even feels like a chuggaconroy video from his ACNL series 💕

[@crossingcasey]

Awe I’m glad you’re liking it! Hope you enjoy the series as I upload more. Part 5 should be coming out this weekend!

[@galaxywolffpix2879]

They seriously just need to let us have multiple islands so people can play again without loosing something they put alot of time into ....

[@crossingcasey]

I agree :( wish we could have multiple ones

1. LOVE this new challenge idea for Animal Crossing 2. That island, fruit, and villager set up is 🔥🔥🔥

[@crossingcasey]

Thanks Kanin! Very happy with the direction I'm going in this island. Loved your new vid too (I forgot to comment cause I was watching on my TV! congrats on all your chanceys :D )

[@KaninGames]

@CrossingCasey yeah dude, I love the early diversification on the channel! Also, thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a project 😅

[@yugzz]

Keen to see how the island turns out! Great video!

[@crossingcasey]

Thank you!

[@rueabbey]

I love this! I just restarted my island but because I didn’t have the know how I do now when I first started it. BUT I should have just demolished everything on my island instead, because I forgot how long it takes to accumulate items/bells. 😅 This challenge is tempting though.

[@crossingcasey]

Ahhh see I’m the opposite! Flattening an island seems freaky to me have such an empty canvas. But to each their own! I get wanting to keep bells and items though 😂 appreciate the comment and hope your new island rules!

[@puffin8495]

This was soo worth the wait! ☺️🎶 This was really fun to watch! I feel like playing along now! 😊

Wonderfull! can't wait to see the next one! also love the name of the island, I name my pokemon after flowers all the time!

Thanks awesome Kaleb! I don't know enough flowers to nickname all my pokemon after them. My partner works with flowers so she tells me about them a lot haha

[@ArstyImogenSky]

Oh awesome! I just found you but I just finished my back to basics island It was such a fun time! Looking forward to watching your island come together.

Wow great job!! I am slow drip feeding my episodes out only when I have time to but plan on getting back to it when I’m home from vacation! Thanks for the comment 🩵

personally i love animal crossing! i really hope this series continues! (pls get lyman if you can)

We’ll see about Lyman! Everything will be random haha. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

[@Moxie5Star]

I just restarted tonight and I was going to like transfer the good shit I had but then I was like na bro I need to just take it slower and not worry about what I use to have. Idk I wanted the same feeling I use to have where I was making shit and challenged...

[@crossingcasey]

That’s valid! It’s nice to start with a clean slate. Hope the island is going well 😁

[@casperopossum5479]

i had an amazing island that was totally unfinished and imperfect, but i loved it so much and i restarted. now i dont really care about my current island, i miss my old one

[@crossingcasey]

I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe you can build up your current to be even better than the old one!

[@casperopossum5479]

@@crossingcasey i sure hope so!! anyways, your video was super calming! played acnh as i was watching this, and even though i really miss my old island, you’ve made me more excited to start this one up

I wish I wish with all my heart, that next gen we get more saves, so we don’t restart.

500 views is criminal. The effort and content you put into your videos is great man, keep it up 😊

[@crossingcasey]

Awe! It's okay, I found a community through Pokemon challenge videos so the new AC content won't be super engaging just yet! I'll keep at it and hope more of the AC community will come by and watch :D

[@goopysubject]

What was that island in the footage you used for the intro of the video?? I love the style, I've been looking for inspiration around the internet but everything feels over cluttered to me. Pleaaase tell me you have a tour video of that!

[@crossingcasey]

It’s my main island! One I had since launch of the game that I’ll never delete haha. I plan on working on it on stream potentially next weekend so if I ever finish it, I’ll upload a code!!

[@goopysubject]

@@crossingcasey it looks great! I'll definitely be there for the stream. Did you use any references or does that styles have a name? I can't seam to find anything like it online

[@nightmarishtaco3434]

Back to basics+: Still all of the same rules except, the diy furniture only Instead: •Where ever your starting villagers want to place their home is where theyll be placed, you cant change them til 5stars •Only allowed to craft tools (you can still buy tools too, i just dont know how to word this better) •Only able to craft the required beginning of the game diy furniture •All other furniture must be bought or shaken from trees. •Only able to use Nook miles for the first house debt, pocket upgrades, character customization, and one nook miles ticket to get brewster (or however many you need… i don’t remember. If there happens to be your sister fruit and flowers you are allowed one of each color flower and three fruit) •No travelling to other players islands •Custom designs *are* allowed and pathing (i know that isnt like basic, basic but they really are a good qol upgrade) •Gold Roses are only allowed once you get the gold watering can (if you get a thunderstorm one, you can stockpile it and only pick it when you have the can or just throw it away, up to you) Optional: •you can do happy home from the start, however only one villager per day *or* you can start happy home at 2 stars (buying furniture with poki counts as usable furniture) •you can timeskip after 3 stars •you can terraform after 4 stars •you can villager hunt after 5 stars •you can go to other players islands at 5 stars

[@crossingcasey]

I like your addition to timeskip/ terraforming! Maybe I'll allow myself to terraform after 5 stars or something. I'm liking the laid back version of not terraforming right now though. I would really like a way to get other island fruit though, maybe one day I'll go to an island and get it!

[@hannahenglish834]

you have no idea how much serotonin "we're having soft tacos later" gave me

[@alisonlittle2879]

such a goooood idea can't wait for the next episode

[@crossingcasey]

coming soon! (editing it as I reply to this comment :D)

[@Gr95dc]

I bought the game last month, I had been wanting to play it since Illymation mentioned it in one of her videos, but by the time it launched I was poor as hell, didn't have a cent to my name and since then until this year I didn't have enough money to justify buying a nintendo switch and ACNH. Anyway, it's really interesting to me hearing others talking about burnout with this game while I'm here like, this game is the chillest thing ever in my life lmao. But I found this video to be very entertaining and it makes me realize how much faster I could have made some things (it took me like a week to pay off my first loan lmao) but it has been really fun figuring out all of the things and only googling a couple of things when I get stuck. I decided to not time travel and only play an hour tops daily and keep it simple, although, lately I'm thinking on playing a little more "serious" and really start planning my island because it's been a month and my island is pretty empty with no roads and one basic bridge, so I'm sure I'll enjoy more of your videos plus, I really liked your personality.

[@crossingcasey]

thanks for sharing this story and I'm glad youre having a good time playing! I decided when I first played to not time travel either and it makes me excited to play every day. Glad you're enjoying the stuff, can't wait to make more videos!

[@FutureDude]

this seems like a realy good idea, i have played a lot of acnh like 800 hours and im definetly gonna play more

[@crossingcasey]

Let me know if you start the challenge too!

[@FutureDude]

@@crossingcasey i might but already have a fairly new island and havent done town hall or anthing but might when i next restart

[@shiratojin]

“can only use DIY items for decorating” proceeds to use a non-DIY item from a tree and one from Timmy and Tommy

[@crossingcasey]

I should clarify, the rules say you can only use DIY outside to decorate, not inside! That being said, I’ve already picked up items that were non diy (like the chair at buds house, etc) and put them in storage 🫡

[@crossingcasey]

The island you see me walking around on in the beginning of this video was used with light time travel aside from villager hunting. I never duplicated items to get a bunch of bells either cause I felt it was pointless to pay off my house in full so quickly. But also have never cared what people do. If they buy it, they can do what they want with it to have the most fun haha

Wrong the website is wrong making you wrong for repeating something that is already being proven wrong. Zelda breath of the wild for Nintendo switch is second best-selling game super Mario Odyssey is number one super Mario Brothers ultimate is number three Mario kart 8 deluxe is number four and the 5th best selling Nintendo switch game is animal crossing New horizon so you better check your facts again, I am a big fan of animal crossing New horizon I'm also a big fan of Zelda breath of the wild Zelda tears of the kingdom is a prequel I hate prequels fuck it but animal crossing New horizons is number 5 when it comes to best game on Nintendo switch and best seller

[@crossingcasey]

I have found 3 different articles from may of 2023 saying new horizons is number 2 when it comes to number of units sold. Not sure where you’re getting your info! Regardless, all the games you listed are great haha

[@life-of-vinci]

@@crossingcasey I just looked it up right now five best selling Nintendo switch games super Mario Odyssey, super Mario kart 8 deluxe, super Mario Brothers ultimate and number for best seller is animal crossing New horizon. No I'm not going to make anyone look like a Yahoo because I'm a big animal crossing horizons fan myself I even prefer playing it over Zelda breath of the wild and I'm a giant Zelda fan I know things about Zelda that's not even being published in news articles or Nintendo magazines or anything. Zelda breath of the wild he's number five edge best seller for Nintendo switch the only reason I keep check on this stuff is because it really grinds my gears when I see on KZbin people tell me other people false information about a game or games that I really enjoy like fierce deity Zelda breath of the wild. People have said you came from Majora's mask and no it doesn't fierce deity was never a mask in Zelda Majora's mask. Fierce deity words added for the remake of Zelda Majora's mask. I know this for a fact because my brother has the original Gold edition and he has all the masks in in that game fierce deity and dark Link are not in the original Majora's mask and Zelda Twilight princess is not a regional Zelda game
