LO – My Inspiration

Animal Crossing is a Nintendo game that has been running for about 19 years. The nintendo swtich version “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” peaked in popularity throughout quarantine this year as the game is a life simulator game making it the perfect companion for loneliness.
The game was developed by Katsuya Eguchi, a Nintendo developer.
Since its release, the game has always focused on simulating a difficult social environment. When playing you are faced with difficulties of making friends and starting new, you are even faced with debt and home-owning
There has been ten different versions for the game each with more elements than the last.
I really admire how Eguchi pulled ideas from his own past experiences to create the game idea and really pushed the boundaries from there to create a universal game that can be enjoyed by all people of all ages.
I have known of many life simulator games but none as successful as Animal Crossing.
This game is loved by millennials and generation z as it perfectly balances the trials and tribulations of adulting while maintaining its game-like aspect through the animations and small details.
What is amazing about this game is that every character you come across has its own developed personality. I am not sure about the coding behind the game but I can only imagine how much time and effort went in to creating and programming a seperate personality for every character as there is 397 computer characters in the newest version.
