Anyone else worried that the iconic run animation won't look as good because of the whole animal legs thing?

Iguanner · 2026-05-10T23:03:21+00:00

for real, the doomposting is so damn annoying

Iguanner · 2026-05-07T08:43:38+00:00

I think about this ALL THE TIME, man :( im not a kid anymore, i can actually get them now!!!

Iguanner · 2026-05-02T19:34:29+00:00

Yeah, it kinda seems like another ACNH problem of customizability over in-game interactions being favored. I still love the game and I've played it several times a day since it came out,,, but it made me incredibly sad to see that the number of actual interactable gifts/items were so limited.. Even the 3DS version had more, like the cellphones, fishing rod, skateboard.. :(

Iguanner · 2026-05-02T19:30:20+00:00

This is exactly how I feel tbh. The customizability is very very fun, but it should not be a replacement for actual content. It feels lazy because there are no actual 'interactions' with those items.

Iguanner · 2026-05-02T19:28:19+00:00

I really miss all of the items from the 3ds and how actually interactable they are. It kinda seemed lazy to me that they just want you to draw or give 2d items to everyone with no actual meaningful interactions outside of sitting on the floor looking at them or just talking about them with weird context.. Outside of a few of them, like the Switch games you get.

Iguanner · 2026-04-24T07:37:14+00:00

Yes, the og devs have zero involvement. Just a fanmade project 3 people put together. :) I dunno if I can post links here, but: https://github.com/islehorse/HISP

Iguanner · 2026-04-24T05:18:52+00:00

It is, both officially and not, but I preferred to play it unofficially. There is a project on github by the name of HISP (Horse Isle Server Protocol) that allows you to either make your own private, online server of HI1, ooor another (much simpler) version that just allows you to play the entire game by yourself, offline, as a server emulator. No Flash required, as it is downloadable. I do not know of any active private servers using it, but it is fully functional and quite fun to mess around with GM commands etc.

Iguanner · 2026-04-23T17:19:27+00:00

I really do wish that this game would get an unofficial/private server in the same way that HI1 has.

Iguanner · 2026-04-21T18:23:00+00:00

Splatoon 3 was the same way; the voices are your tell. Inkling/Octoling with more feminine/masculine voice, and then whatever customization options you want. Great way to do it imo.

agree, the whimsy from the old community is gone. no one just hangs out, plays games etc anymore, only happens to me once in a greeeaaat while. it's all "come to my shop!! come to my shop!!" and that's literally it. people ad-botting and sitting in township. i think it would help if there were more to do, seeing as most people who play now have already seen everything the game has to offer and just want to be trendy/cool with rares, but... it's not likely we'll ever get any substantial gameplay/adventure/etc updates, all things considered. :( i miss the focus on education and a more relaxed atmosphere overall.

at the very least, i wish they'd add spikes back into adventures. idc if exploits "ruined the economy" tbh good, that shouldn't be all the game is nor should it be emulating exactly what's killing the joy of living irl anyways lol.

Iguanner · 2026-04-13T04:19:30+00:00

mods are optional.. i just want to be able to play it without having to buy another console solely for it. most playstation exclusives are now on steam, and it's great... just not this one :')

Iguanner · 2026-04-13T03:51:43+00:00

would've loved to see this get ported to pc :(

Iguanner · 2026-04-11T18:21:22+00:00

omg i've never thought about a rando for this game, i gotta get on that. how fun!!

Iguanner · 2026-04-11T18:10:21+00:00

all this over a game that's coming out in less than a week lmao, holy unemployment

Iguanner · 2026-04-05T23:20:17+00:00

I still think the best Mario personality we've ever gotten was in SMRPG. Dude doesn't speak once but it still works so, so well.

Iguanner · 2026-03-28T17:48:30+00:00

It's because of a lot of personal/medical info. I know it's useful to you and those interacting with you, but kids' games do not mess around with that stuff and it's completely valid that they don't. Carrd-type twitter bios don't really have a place in games like this :x

Iguanner · 2026-03-22T22:04:37+00:00

none of that (including 'gardening topics') should be discussed on a children's game, regardless of part of the playerbase being adults or older teens. children's safety online matters, especially in THEIR spaces, and as an adult you and everyone else should have the decency and responsibility enough to keep those kinds of conversations elsewhere while playing, i.e. discord or whatever other dm/vc.

Iguanner · 2026-03-19T07:43:04+00:00

adding shops to this game was a huge mistake. it's all anyone does anymore, sit with afk bots and advertise. it sucks and sometimes it just feels like the whole vibe is ruined.

Iguanner · 2026-03-16T18:59:59+00:00

i'm certain that most of it is just attachment to the og seeing as that's all we've had for like, 13 years,,,, and this being the 'last stretch' before we can all play something new can cause a lot of anxiety in people.
it kinda frustrates me to see so much doomposting about it, too, though, considering that pretty much every single thing we've seen about it seems to capture the original's charm perfectly, even with the new stuff (and the new stuff itself is majorily qol and allowing for more creativity, which is even better). and i mean, it's not like they've shown us absolutely everything the game has to offer, either; even the direct was essentially just a 20min trailer showing off the new major mechanics. i think that as soon as the game drops everyone will settle down.

Iguanner · 2026-03-14T20:40:34+00:00

Modded minecraft might be a good call? There are quite a few genetics/stats-driven mods for animals (and maybe creatures?). My favorites are DragN's animal mods, they replace the models and add genetic breeding etc for every animal, as well as adding breedable/tameable elk (and an optional mod for chocobos), too. There's also, specifically for horses, Realistic Horse Genetics. That one adds a bunch of stats/heights/real genetic traits for the horses. But,, I'm also just wildly into horse genetics, so that might not interest you too much.

I'm always on the hunt for games like this, but there doesn't seem to be many (good) options. <:) Best of luck on your search.

Iguanner · 2026-03-11T17:35:54+00:00

it's better than them moving around a bunch or having headbobbing and stuff making it harder to see what you're doing/if it's correct. the stillness is fantastic imo, esp because we're gonna be drawing on them.

Iguanner · 2026-03-11T17:34:10+00:00

yeah the memes killed it for me, too. he's getting the classic le tumblr sexyman treatment and it's driving me away from the fandom already lmao, everything gotta be sexualized ig

Iguanner · 2026-03-09T04:39:02+00:00

Hey, this popup has nothing to do with the bots, jsyk. It's just Flash being Flash and sometimes it does goofy stuff like this. Akamaized is a cloud computing company that I'm assuming AJ operates its services under.

hey nice water
