We get interesting statements from the creators of Animal Crossing. Recently, they have spoken about Tom nook, one of the best-known characters in the franchise.
As you well know, this tanuki has been won the reputation of being greedy for being the character to whom we always have to pay large sums of money. Memes and taunts towards Nook are always served.
However, it seems that its creators think it is someone misunderstood. This is how he shared it Hisashi Nogami, the producer of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, in a recent encounter with The Verge.
"We think Tom Nook is a very loving and really cool guy," he says. "He is an adult," he says, "so he is very careful about money." "It is one of the greatest motivations that users have to continue playing Animal Crossing and Tom Nook is responsible behind that motivation," explains the creative.
In the meeting, Aya Kyogoku, the director of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, also shared a few words about Nook. "Even if we borrow money from him and it takes time to pay it back, he never gets angry, he never gets angry," he says. "So if we could all try to be a little more responsible and pay him back, we could make him a little happier."
