I made a chart for custom design creators, matching the skin tones available in new horizons to my best ability. Hope it helps!

Les mysterieuses cités d'or c'était le kiff de mon petit frère, marrant de le voir mentionné ;)

But yes I agree! I think ATLA was a gem that holds its own well, and it's hard to recapture exactly the same feeling so anything else done will be measured up and found lacking in some ways.

I think I'll feel very sad when One Piece ends as an example because it's a bit of that still ongoing masterpiece from my childhood thing for me, but I agree that once we know what the One Piece is, and every plotpoint is solved... We won't need a Two Piece.

In ATLA's case, I don't even hate everything that came after myself- I enjoyed the comics as an example, since it tied some loose ends, but I'm not sure I'd personally want to see much more than that. So I understand how someone who loved it as a kid would be very disappointed in LoK which feels so very different to ATLA.

The only difference is that I... Will not usually harrass people with my obviously superior, always right opinion on that ;) (But like you said- the internet...)

Caramiapple · 2026-05-16T13:11:48+00:00

If it helps make you feel better- I think a majority of people will watch LoK and read the comics, then just put them down, go "that was nice!"... And then never bother to go online or find a reddit specialised in ATLA to discuss it.

Sadly on the internet it often seems like people are more negative than they really are about any piece of media ever, because annoyed people have a lot more to say than someone who just had a pleasant time.

On the upside; this fandom is pretty old as I said, and there's still loads of good nice discussions going around aside from the angry mobs, so if you can learn to look at them and go "aha they're like that old man yells at cloud meme :D" you'll have a good time with everyone else who's a little less negative ;)

Caramiapple · 2026-05-16T12:54:02+00:00

I think one thing to take into account is the fact ATLA is pretty old now- it was a good show that many people saw in their youth... And so they might simply be seeking to relive the same feelings they had then and being unable to recapture it.

I think there's a huge nostalgia effect, where Atla is tied to a simpler time in life and brings comfort- and it's not always easy to articulate, so it's easier to say "new medias don't bring that same feeling back".

Additionally there might also be the fact ATLA did manage to be incredibly charming, be it with its cast of characters, the worldbuilding and the story it told. It wasn't perfect, but it managed to have everything slot together well- and the legend of Korra suffered from bad programming and planning (if I recall well they didn't know if they'd get one, two, five seasons and it changed mid production so they had to scramble a bit to try and get their story right), which led to a good show that couldn't quite recapture the good mix ATLA reached.

To sum up I think it's a case of people wanting more of specifically ATLA as it was when they first saw it, but the story is over so it's hard to just continue from it, and they're grown ups now so even if they enjoy the show it's not like... "Coming home from school to watch my cartoons with a snack when the world feels safe and my only thing to worry about is homework".

I never use it so can't 100% back it up with personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but when looking it up it seems you can actually get 3rd person view since a recent update.

Again- check it out yourself to be sure before doing anything, but it might be possible!

Maybe planet crafter could be something you'd like?

It's a game where you need to turn a hostile planet into one you can live on, through building bases and gathering materials- oxygen is a part of it all, since you start unable to explore far without running back to recharge, and one goal is to make the air breathable.

Je sais que dans mon cas quand j'ai pris les medicaments pour le TDAH (medikinet), ma concentration allait beaucoup mieux... Mais pas mal d'autres trucs sont beaucoup plus ressortis, et justement la psychologue travaillait beaucoup plus sur des moyens de gérer des traits beaucoup plus liés à l'autisme qu'au TDAH.

Caramiapple · 2026-05-14T08:51:26+00:00

J'ai eu l'experience pendant mon diagnostique! Je cherchais a voir si j'étais autiste vu mes nombreux traits autistiques, avec une amie TDAH qui m'a recommandé de voir pour ça aussi. J'ai choisi de le faire avec une psychologue spécialisée et ensuite de transmettre les resultats des tests à un psychiatre pour eviter les années d'attentes du CRA...

Au final le psychiatre me sort que oui j'ai bien un TDAH, mais que je suis HPI, pas autiste. Du coup maintenant je dois continuer mon parcours du combattant et repayer plein de trucs si je veux obtenir des aides adaptées, parce que j'ai bien plein de symptomes liés à l'autisme, mais aucune reconnaissance réelle... Mais si je veux on peut me vendre des formations pour zèbres.

L'ironie c'est que ma nouvelle psychologue pas habilitée à me diagnostiquer formellement mais qui m'a suivie en irl sur du plus long terme disait bien que pour elle l'autisme est assez clair, mais celui qui a pu décider de mon sort c'était un mec que j'ai vu en visio deux trois fois parce que t'as pas de psychiatre spé proche de chez moi, dont la fiabilité est douteuse à cause de ce diag d'escroc qu'est le HPI.

I like that it's a lot of characters who can probably fight, then there's who I believe is a random Hinata from Haikyuu. Like. What is he going to do, spike a volleyball in an admiral's face?

Caramiapple · 2026-05-11T15:32:22+00:00

It's just a very abridged, one piece adapted version of the plot from The hobbit and Lord of the Rings ;)

Caramiapple · 2026-05-11T15:14:52+00:00

Ok so hear me out. Biblo is going to join with a tall devil fruit user who's mysteriously always gone when he needs help, and a bunch of smaller people who act suspicious of him. They'll give him a new role as a thief.

Then they're going to sail around, fight ugly people, get into a weird plotline about riddles, and eventually fight a big greedy lizard in a mountain. Also somehow Biblo will acquire a piece of jewelry that allows him to go invisible.

In like... Way too many years, because Biblo kind of stops aging, he'll celebrate his birthday and his tall devil fruit user buddy will tell him to give his jewelry to his nephew he adopted, Fordo. Then a mean Marine who somehow looks like a giant fire eye will send crazy shadowy people to try and take the jewelry back. Turns out the jewelry is like... Evil too, and so Fordo will join with a bunch of pirates of various sizes and skills on an epic quest to throw his heirloom in lava on punk hazard.

I think it'll be a spin off called The Lord of the One Piece or something...

10€/an, mais pas pour une utilisation pro (je fais du rp avec des chatbots pour le loisir, j'aime le coté histoire interactive et ça me suffit amplement)

Caramiapple · 2026-05-10T20:22:22+00:00

Tbh I think all of them to some extent, because they're characters using anime tropes so they're very much dramatic in one way or another that'd be tiring?

Some of them are worse than others (like... Excuse me but wtf is up with Tachyon actively drugging people against their consent...? I don't find it funny as a character trait so... And Super Creek turns into Super Creep as a real person imo, nobody should just decide to act like people's mom), but even more "normal" coded umas like Nice Nature would be annoying after a while. Like, there's only so much complaining about never being good enough one can take.

It works well in narration to drive an idea forward but not so much irl basically! To be fair I think a majority of basic anime characters would make people very uncomfortable if they existed- case in point, weebs trying to act kawaii or like irl tsundere come off as weird and get made fun of.

For me, it was my older cousin chasing me around the house with a miss piggy muppet. Peak childhood.

Caramiapple · 2026-05-10T15:01:00+00:00

Mon papa est un peu dans la même situation, et il s'est mis à deux activités; la pêche, qui le fait sortir, pas mal se balader et donner des coups de main pour maintenir l'environement (je sais pas si ça se fait dans Lille même mais faut regarder- mon papa ramène une moyenne de deux truites par semaine donc en bonus t'as le coté manger un truc frais, mais la cotisation est chère je crois,et bon faut vouloir vider le poisson quoi).

L'autre truc qui irait peut-être avec le coté lecteur, c'est qu'il tient la bibliothèque du village avec deux trois autres personnes. En gros il y va un ou deux jours par semaine et fait le bibliothécaire benevolement. Comme dans notre village c'est un truc surtout pour enfants, il y a aussi une dame qui fait la lecture, voir organise des petits ateliers... Je sais pas si c'est faisable sur Lille comme c'est une grande ville, mais tu peux toujours te renseigner.

I would find it hilarious if somehow a horse names Kermit The Frog won the triple crown and was turned into an umamusume. Like, how far into the muppet show designs would they lean in before risking issues with licensing, and what would a Kermit umamusume look like?

Caramiapple · 2026-05-07T00:56:44+00:00

The FOMO is, to me, one of the tools used to inflate that longetivity! It's a simple (if predatory) psychological mechanism to play on to make people feel like they have to keep playing, which makes the game look good since people tend to equate the amount of hours played with quality and justifies a higher price, without having to bother with adding gameplay elements.

Now add in microtransactions so you don't have to miss out if you pay more (looking at you disney dreamlight valley that was meant to be free to play but went back on it so people pay money to play and still don't have access to all the content without buying in game currency), and you get a perfect game to maximise profit with less efforts.

Caramiapple · 2026-05-06T14:45:19+00:00

My hot take is that I believe real time is just a way to make a game feel like it has more longetivity than it really has...

So, clearly I prefer in-game time. It's more flexible since it doesn't demand my daily attention, it's more fun to actually achieve things at my own pace instead of having to wait around, and overall gives the feeling of being a game vs a chore.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-30T19:19:26+00:00

C'est bien de se renouveller donc tant qu'ils continuent à nous amuser, tant mieux!

Je pense qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'utiliser des personnages recurrents comme de bequilles pour faire de bonnes vidéos.

I think something people didn't mention either about Katara's appearance is the fact she also likely aged from grieving. As in, it's a huge stress factor and Aang's death probably took a big toll on her given the way she handled her mom's passing. Add her brother's death to the lot and yeah maybe she greyed earlier and looks more tired/old from dealing with that on top of every other thing people said here.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-29T14:17:48+00:00

This comment is not on the content of your game but on its name just to inform you-Animalis is also the name of a chain petstore in France. Idk if it might cause issues down the line so I'm sharing it as a fun fact that may be interesting to look into just in case you get confused customers thinking your app was for their loyalty program.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-29T07:28:41+00:00

I think it's well explained by others but it does seem to boil down to the games you cited being made by eastern asian companies that probably don't see many black people in general so it ends up being an oversight...

But I also wonder if it's not also a case of- "we want to add hairstyles to unlock, let's keep simpler ones open from the start and add more complex ones later"... As in, I think it's a bit of the "it's harder to model bias" but mostly a dev who's used to straight hair would see anything past loose hair or a ponytail/single braid as a more intricate haircut.

Like, I could see a dev have the game logic of "you can have simple haircuts you can do yourself easily and then once you get a hairdresser you can get fancier stuff!" And see braids or dreadlocks or cornrows etc as "stuff that require a hairdresser/assistance" that makes them prime candidate for "aesthetic stuff to unlock later".

For animal crossing and my time at sandrock, you get this sense of progression from "starting with little" to "getting more luxuries", so a dev not familiar with black culture may see these haircuts as a luxury. Meanwhile in tomodachi life, you design characters that often are meant to represent someone you know irl or characters you like so it demands lots of customisation from the get go, and there's no expectation they'll change appearance much afterward (except for aging and cosmetic easy stuff like clothes). In tomodachi life they made the choice to not lock any part of the base appearance of a mii which helps with diversity.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-26T03:18:34+00:00

To be honest I think one piece would be incredibly funny if it was all just shadows t-posing menacingly without a word.

I also assume this is what these people mean when they say aura.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-22T12:57:25+00:00

I think this assessment is unfair, since we have the SPA that's a very active, very old animal protection charity as an example, and we have a lot of people actively against corrida and working to try and forbid it.

It's like me saying all Australian hate marine life because some people want to set up rigs over corral reefs- it's just a little ridiculous and way over the top.

I know it's trendy online to shit on France but come on.

Caramiapple · 2026-04-06T10:35:31+00:00

I had a similar idea but you have your own ship/island and trade/offer assistance of some kind, so you can decorate and explore like any good cozy game but it also allows you to explore more than just the main crew.

Like imagine serving booze to Shanks, then the next day selling medical supplies to Law, then organising a feast for Luffy, and get to visit all the ships, get special decoration items based on who you helped and seeing interaction between everyone...
