I Designed an Island without Nintendo Online in 30 Days

[@froggycrossing]

thank you so much for clicking this video and starting this new adventure with me! I was very inspired by Ryan Trahan's penny series and I've really been wanting to work on a big, exciting project like that! I hope you enjoy these daily episodes, and hopefully we can finish this island in 30 days 😳 ⭐FAQ⭐ Q: "Did you delete Leapfrog?!" A: nope, don't worry! this is quack's switch that I'm borrowing :) Q: "What about streams?" A: I will still be livestreaming my farm island, Storybrook, on Mondays at 4pm EST. (except for today haha) Q: "What about other videos?" A: this challenge series is gonna be my little baby for August, so sadly there will be a pause on my regular content until next month. making daily episodes plus a whole entire island from scratch takes up most of my day! Q: "Is this gonna be a Florida island?" A: nope, you'll see :)

Hi froggy! I’ve been trying to make a haunted kidcore island do you have any suggestions? I love your vids btw

[@GalaticGarbage]

I've never been able to afford nintendo online so to see people do this as a sort of challenge to what i've been doing for the past two years is a eye opener. Building a new island from the ground up isn't easy but I hope you have fun doing it. Can't wait to see the finished island ❤️

@@MatuteBariain yeah same I actually wasn't burnt out but then idk I kinda just got burnt out after that. Maybe it was because I didn't had to make my own custom design anymore

[@Kantripz]

my first 2 years of playing animal crossing I didn't use online, I got really good at custom designs the only thing that was really difficult was doing villager hunts since I had to farm all the miles by myself plus when I failed a villager hunt it would hurt lot more because of the hours I spent farming them were all gone. So I advise you to not spend a lot of time villager hunting on this island. Good luck with this challenge!

I absolutely love the idea of this series Raven! You are the only AC youtuber who I’ve seen properly acknowledge the fact that not everyone has Nintendo online usually they take advantage of the online features and forget how much harder it is for people without online. Thank you for including us who have had to make all their designs on their own for the past two years Raven. It’s refreshing and really exciting to see how this turns out 😊 I’m sure it’ll be amazing as always

Hi

[@bethaniej]

I’ve been itching to restart, I’ve never finished an island. Then this video popped up… and i was definitely inspired, so i deleted my island and started again. And my goal is to not to go treasure islands- at least for now. I’ll make myself grind for bells. :) So far i have Cherry and Kevin. And just used 5 tickets and have ione, apple and beau moving in once i make some plots. (I passed on stu and a kangaroo.)

I'm not brave enough lol 😂

Looks like this will be a fun series that is short and sweet! I myself have played with a Nintendo Online Membership (at the moment I don't have it active) and getting to download designs and visit DA addresses and commune with other players is certainly enjoyable, and adds to the experience. I'm on my third island, FusionRose, and to my surprise today, I got 3 stars! I also had Katt as a starter, and oranges and a orange airport as well (truthfully I restarted quite a few times to get those two former things as I had wanted to have them for FusionRose)

[@veteranJMacfan]

I'm amazed at all the comments from other people saying how they did their islands without NSO. It's kinda nice knowing I wasn't the only one in that boat. I'm coming up on the 2 yr anniversery of my island and I didn't get a subscription until a couple months ago :P so I had to grind for all the flower hybrids and make all my pathing myself. (Plus I just finished my museum, a few weeks away from my island anniversery). What made me finally get it was just the fact you need to trade with other players to get the rest of the fruit and I decided I had enough of getting duplicate recipes and going "oh, but I can't make these cuz I only have 3 fruit on my island." I've since made up all the DIY and cooking recipes requiring all the fruit so that chip is no longer on my shoulder.
