Snow-topped trees, ice sculptures, and the sound of rushing waterfalls are all part of the experience. Susana Liang designed and constructed her "Animal Crossing" island, which included a Christmas dinner, various shops, a wedding reception, an igloo campsite, a picnic, a miniature version of the Greek island of Santorini, elaborate walkways, and a cozy home with plenty of Christmas trees.

It's one of my favorite seasons in the game,” said Liang, who works in health science in New York and has logged more than 2,300 hours in Nintendo's "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" since the game's release a few weeks ago. It is always winter on her island. Every time winter is about to come to an end, she time travels back to the beginning of January in order to prolong the season. The game was released on March 20, 2020, and has since sold more than 31 million copies, placing it in second place behind “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” as the best-selling title on the Nintendo Switch. The global pandemic has also lasted for a year, and Liang is one of many players who have spent the equivalent of a month or more playing the game and transforming their islands from grassy and rural to unique vacation destinations away from real-world problems. With mandatory lockdowns, self-isolation periods for those who had come into contact with the coronavirus, and many jobs becoming remote, people all over the world found themselves with long, empty evenings and plenty of free time. For some, the familiar jingle that plays when you first start up "Animal Crossing" is a throwback to the game's early pandemic days. “For more than two months, we didn't leave the house except for grocery runs,” said Jeremy Smith, 39, a stay-at-home dad from Oklahoma who has logged more than 1,400 hours in the game. He and his wife decided to purchase a Nintendo Switch near the end of April after seeing other people playing it and remembering how much they enjoyed “Animal Crossing: City Folk” on the Nintendo Wii. At the time, many retailers were out of Switches, so Smith had to drive nearly two hours to a Best Buy that was almost two hours away."I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best thing we could have done," he said. "It provided us with a connection to the outside world." Smith is one of the administrators of the Animal Crossing Free Community Facebook group, which has over 11,000 members. The group is dedicated to sharing free items with one another and fostering a sense of community among fans of the game. Being an administrator is "actually a lot more work than you would expect," according to Smith, who described having to review requests to join the group and approve posts before they are published, as well as checking for rule breakers.“Because we are a free group, we do not allow anyone to offer to pay with [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]animal crossing bells[/color] or Nook Miles tickets. That is equivalent to having a full-time job. But it's well worth it.” With the help of my wife and son, we were able to spend the majority of the day with our gates open, allowing people to come and get whatever they needed.” Smith's island is home to horse stables, a paleontology dig site, and themed rooms inspired by popular television shows such as "Bob's Burgers" and "The X-Files."Smith, like a few other “Animal Crossing” super users interviewed by The Washington Post, considers himself to be a completionist.“It took me more than eight months, but I finally finished my museum,” Smith said, adding that he spent many hours fishing and catching bugs gradually, rather than speeding up the game's internal clock to skip days. In “Animal Crossing,” players complete tasks such as fishing and shaking trees in order to collect critters for the island's resident collector, Blathers. They pay off a mortgage to de facto landlord Tom Nook, who drives them further into debt by offering to make additional improvements to their homes. Different island visitors have more tasks to put gamers to work, including competitively catching fish in "seasports," purchasing turnips to sell on the "stalk market," and purveying artwork that may be genuine or forged. These chores became tiresome for some after a while, despite the fact that they added to the rustic charm of "New Horizons."People in “Animal Crossing” experienced pandemic burnout in the same way that they did in real life. |
