Paying Off Your Debt Breaks Animal Crossing...

[@Hunter-R.]

Slight correction from Cuyler: The technical reason why you warp to the beta map is because your scene ID is reloaded during the cutscenes when you exit the post office, rather than the map. When this scene ID is reloaded during a cutscene, it gets set to 0 so you get to sent to the beta map where scene 0 is set to play.

[@everypizza]

smh my head, Nintendo

[@R2Bl3nd]

I am a programmer and I don't think it's wrong what you said, but maybe it could be considered misleading or incomplete by some, because there's no actual game logic telling it to default to anything, intentionally; it just ends up that way as an unintentional consequence of how the logic is set up. And to be fair it's probably worth distinguishing when possible.

[@Hunter-R.]

@@R2Bl3nd Yep, this is why this correction exists. Scene ID '0' is still technically the "default" that the game sets when the cutscenes end up confused which is why this occurs. It just so happens to be programmed to play on that first map so you get warped there. So "defaulting to the first map" was a bit of an oversimplification, but again that's why this correction is here to rectify what you talked about.

That's more or less any game. Game programming is a little bit harder to do "right" since it's much more dynamic than a lot of software, while also requiring things to be done FAST. Ie, games do a lot of shortcuts for rendering stuff since it has to be real time, while stuff like blender that can take a week for a single scene are allowed to do things using more "proper" methods. We technically do less "extreme" stuff like what you'd see in game boy color games, since we can rely on powerful hardware, but you still get some areas that fall apart at the seams, even in professionally made games.

if i ever make a game im gonna put ridiculous, niche glitches like this one in my game on purpose. pulled out your sword while talking to an NPC with a name that starts with Z? fall through the map. make an object that only collides with the player character's feet, and if you clip inside of it you see a secret code that just crashes the game when input. find a way to move your character when in a cutscene and trigger a different cutscene, be greeted with a third cutscene with cats dancing. secret stuff like this is so fun to me

[@Most-sane-deltarune-fan]

" be greeted with a third cutscene with cats dancing." Kind of like the video where all the cats in Animal Crossing are dancing on a rainbow floor to some song, and many years later, someone made a version of it where Raymond the smug cat dreams he's a part of it!

I have a similar idea, but it's to make a game that seems like it could be speedrun with the usual glitches and exploits, but all of them have hard counters. Like if you clip outside the map the game actually detects you're outside the play space and spawns space cops that arrest your ass for breaking the laws of physics, which spawns your character in a cell.

Welcome to Animal Crossing KZbin!!

[@JeremyFinch42]

That's actually cool that Boz accidentally wrong warped in front of Nook's. So in theory, you could technically use this wrong warping to cut even more time in a speedrun. Problem is wrong warp location seems to be hard to pinpoint, even random almost, if you haven't saved before, and may wrong warp you outside the main map if you haven't an event going on, and if the post office is on tile A2. So essentially, there is a lot of RNG that could be involved trying to get the best speedrun time in Animal Crossing. Also, that name, Johnny B, has nothing to do with John Doe, or Jane Doe. Johnny B is EXPLICITLY a reference to the song Johnny B. Goode. And I know this, because Nintendo has used this song, referenced this song, or made their own tweaked versions of it. They downright have an obsession with it. Which even exists in Animal Crossing as obtainable music. But this reference to the song goes back as far as Earthbound, with the Hippie encounter, as well as the Mad Truck and Car encounters. Nintendo with Johnny B. Goode is like John Goodman with apple fritters and cocaine. You just can't imagine them NOT being together.

⁠@@exterminator9676 This gyroid is a special case and is a different object from the normal gyroid. So textures aren’t exactly map-based. This gyroid actually looks perfectly normal in the original N64 Japanese version, but was changed somehow when porting the game to the GameCube. This was either done on purpose to test texture cycling on random textures, or by accident and just never fixed since its only use was on this beta map. You can also talk to this gyroid in the N64 JP release, but in this game they have no dialogue.

[@martenkahr3365]

@@Nerd2Ninja It's not about paying it off "too early". It's about entering the post office to pay it off exactly at the moment the game starts preparing a different cutscene. If you're a few extra seconds early in paying it off on that specific day, the debt-free cutscene is the one that gets skipped, and nothing major breaks. If you're a few seconds late to the post office, the sports event cutscene plays before you enter, and you can pay off your debt and get the debt-free cutscene without any glitches at all.
