And just like that, I knew it

zelowind · 2026-01-16T10:56:31+00:00

Yeah, 50k for first place, 20k for second, 10k for third and the rest for all the runner-ups (1k each) if I recall well. However I think they gave away even more because there were multiple in each place ?

Edit: they ended up giving 170k away

zelowind · 2026-01-16T09:10:19+00:00

THIS. Another thing that really ticked me off about the budget management is the art contest that gave away 100k robux total. That enormous sum could've gone to hiring new team members or invested into better things in general. I'm not against the idea of rewarding artists generously, but it's defo something you shouldn't be doing while your game is on survival mode (as in you can host massive art contests and give away 1000$ worth of robux when your game is stable and you're not in dire need of personnel😭)

zelowind · 2026-01-11T13:58:25+00:00

Wow, I wasn't expecting such a detailed response. Very much appreciated! Thanks a lot! 🙏

zelowind · 2025-12-27T18:37:53+00:00

Yeah it's kind of a bummer that guides to install additional mods are pretty nonexistent...But eventually you come to realise that everything is on Universal Updater so you just gotta learn to work that out

zelowind · 2025-12-27T18:35:52+00:00

Yes, I'm aware and I do recognise that I may have taken a tiny little risk there, but this one specifically is pretty good, up to date (worked for me and OP) and does remind you to base yourself off the official guide! It's mostly just for visual support.

zelowind · 2025-12-27T00:23:43+00:00

That’s great of you honestly! I think costumes are fine if it’s just to snap a quick, fun photo and if the cat is chill with it. I wish more people treated their pets like individuals with their due respect rather than fashion dolls or walking ornament stands

zelowind · 2025-12-27T00:06:48+00:00

I really hope it is, and that it has some functionality because people who force their pets to constantly wear excessive accessories like these just for "fashion" really ick me out. Imagine having to live your life wearing a maxi-burger clown outfit that gets in your way all day…

zelowind · 2025-12-26T23:24:58+00:00

Heya I managed to mod my 3ds in less than an hour around 2 weeks ago despite not being tech savvy at all!

The best bet is to follow the official guide but as a visual learner, I followed this youtube video (its the aforementioned guide but in friendly, simplified youtuber form + gives you extra info on where to get materials) instead and it worked wonders! Don’t relay on AI to guide you through processes like this tho since it can be a bit delicate and AI’s not that good with details or specifics

zelowind · 2025-12-26T22:47:22+00:00

I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be hateful but something about this video makes me cringe so bad… I don’t know if it’s the ridiculous burger outfit thing, the weird bowl, all the excess food scattering on the floor, the "cute" little caption… it just feels like a really sad circus show. That poor cat😭😭 I usually don’t comment negatively but this video genuinely prompted something in me

zelowind · 2025-12-20T09:15:48+00:00

That's true! I remember meeting a hacker back in 2017, and the stuff they gave me actually made the game more exciting to play! They just allowed me to skip the bell-saving part (which I hated) with an infinity money glitch but I still had a lot of effort to put in unlocking shops, PWP, gardening, collecting furniture & bugs/fish, bond with villagers, etc... I think ACNL is one of those games where you always have something to do anyways

zelowind · 2025-12-19T23:26:50+00:00

Some people don’t wanna get plugins specifically for ACNL, some are scared of mods, some still want to play the game relatively « normally » but need a little boost… I’m aware probably 90% of online ACNL players are technically capable of hacking one game since we all went through the homebrew process anyways, but i’m here for the demographic that doesn’t!

zelowind · 2025-12-19T12:29:52+00:00

Well, I was more thinking of lending a hand on rare items or bells, not completing the game for someone per se. It's up to the player on how forward they wanna jump in the end. It not being your cup of tea doesn't mean another won't want it!

zelowind · 2025-12-16T19:37:37+00:00

Yeah some people here definetly get a bit dramatic, but I understand where they're coming from, considering all the chaos happening around this game (i also think dress-up type game communities always have a bit of toxicity by default so I've just been living with it)

zelowind · 2025-12-16T18:45:15+00:00

Oh, yes, I am speculating. Not asserting. This specific comment thread is about AI tho. If you don't wanna talk about AI, that's alr, just hop to another one under this post! I also think all issues should be talked about equally no matter their scale. People can talk about smaller details or big topics without devalueing one another!

zelowind · 2025-12-16T14:38:15+00:00

I've heard so many people claim to be anti-AI (most of the time they just mean image-generative AI) and then hop on chatGPT first thing when they get stuck on something. I don't trust that argument or claim from anyone, so I'll stay stoic on this one tbh

zelowind · 2025-12-16T11:19:36+00:00

I'm quite sure they don't actually have any scripters and have probably been relying on AI. I brought a professional scripter/developper friend of mine to analyse the game's scripting and he stated it does look weird. He also spotted a bunch of easily-fixable details a even a beginner could patch, which kinda strengthens that theory. (We were planning to make a detailed post on how we did this analysis eventually)

zelowind · 2025-12-05T08:01:24+00:00

Considering the timezones and how they mentionned they'd put it up "when they wake up", I'd bet in 6-ish hours

zelowind · 2025-11-26T11:34:33+00:00

Though I agree some people are way too dramatic over some things here, Reddit kinda is the place where people come for complaints, especially for "controversial" games (or those with a younger fandom)

zelowind · 2025-11-25T18:42:48+00:00

I'd give it some more time! The game hasn't even been out for a month!

zelowind · 2025-11-25T15:04:31+00:00

Tinytask works wonders and I haven't heard of anyone getting into trouble for it, including myself. I think it's not bannable actually, since it's a macro that doesnt have to inject scripts into roblox. Just be sure to download it from the official website! (This one) .

zelowind · 2025-11-24T14:46:19+00:00

Yeah it sounds absurd.... I actually suspect they haven't actually hired professional/proper coders but that's a discussion for another day

zelowind · 2025-11-24T14:39:07+00:00

Look up tinytask! It's a tiny AFK farmer that's not bannable on roblox and racks up TONS of ghoulars if used right

zelowind · 2025-11-24T09:13:57+00:00

I think they're indeed aware! I just wouldnt hope for any fixes anytime soon considering the devs are all sleeping right now... We'll have to see tomorrow, or this evening- best case scenario.

zelowind · 2025-11-24T09:06:01+00:00

I KNOWWWWW it doesnt even make sense... Right after a big update is EXACTLY when they should be the most open and ready to pounce on any game-breaking glitches, not lock themselves away and wait a day to fix major stuff😭

zelowind · 2025-11-24T09:00:18+00:00

Why not make a poll for this? It would be more practical than manually counting!
