But he and others working on interpreting the game realized that this would be a comedy he would see many, many, many times. And it might be a bad time for a player, so hitting the head for a bad distance seemed mean and not good or very good. So the joke was changed a bit and instead of C- now it will read C +.
Small, sure, but important details. And it's the kind of thing that Heiret and other game designers have thought about, according to his thread on Twitter.
"We were doing our best, finding out the details you might not have thought of, making this the most beautiful, comforting, fun game we could ever make," explained Heiret. And it looks like it has paid off, as people around the world have moved there Animal Crossing
As the epidemic has continued to escalate and people have been stuck in homes, often alone and with little to do, Animal Crossing it has always been a escape from a better, better and wiser world. And that world exists because of all the work Heiret and others working on the game put into every little detail. Even dumb and annoying dad jokes.
And Heiret is applauded for how many people live in the game these days, fleeing the real world. He believes this is because, in the current global environment, people need agency. A place where players can arrange pillows on their bed how you like them.
