a month in a nutshell ♡ 2016.11

As you can guess by the lack of updates and the fact that even this résumé is a couple of days too late, November turned out to be crazy busy - all the more reason to share some impressions of how it was like; November in a nutshell.

a month in a nutshell ♡ 2016.07

It's almost August, so it's time to gather all the impressions and small adventures I undertook in July and bring it all together in this posting.
If you follow me on twitter (it's @ yukuchan), you already saw all of that but since I am not limited to 140 characters here, you might get a little deeper insight anyway.

   

my favorite things in AnimalCrossing ♡ 20

It's hard to believe that I started this series several months ago already and that it is finally coming to an end. I still haven't released my dream town but I am close to finishing the landscaping and only need to finish my character's houses then, so I guess this challenge went along with a lot of change in my actual game, too.

As announced in part 19, I will talk about parts of the game today, that are so closely connected to the game itself that they become invisible sometimes and we forget them easily because they are just there all the time (at least some of them seem kind of meta - if you know what I mean).

So this part will include the last couple of favorites; Q67 ~ 70.

a month in a nutshell ♡ 2016.06

I can't believe it's already time for a month in a nutshell again... life has been so busy this month.

I can't wait for my summer vacation, that will start in a couple of weeks - though there will probably be a lot to take care of the next couple of months, too.

Let's start with a small résumé of June.

my favorite things in AnimalCrossing ♡ 19

Here I am again, with the next to last update of this series. I'm almost done talking about one of my favorite games, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and my favorite things in it (though I could probably talk so much more about all the things that make this game so irresistable and exciting).
After I've gone through all the different villager specimen and kinds, one might get the impression the game is only about your neighbours.... and while that might be true in some contexts, there is a lot more to the game in the end and a lot of unanimated objects and things you can have a lot of fun with.
In this part of the Animal Crossing Challenge, I will talk about Q 63 ~ 66 (you can check out the full overview here).

my favorite things in AnimalCrossing ♡ 18

Once again, I'm sharing with you some of the many things I love about one of my favorite games, ever - Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

You can find a full overview of the questions here. 

We are close to the finish line and after today, all my favorite villagers will be introduced.

After having splashing, small and fluffy, wildlife and exotic editions, today I'll talk about Q 60 ~ 62, the snappy edition.

As always I borrowed the small pixel sprites from A forest life, the original creator can be found here.

We've come a long way. After today, threre will only be three last updates about my favorite things in one of my favorite games: Animal Crossing: New Leaf (for the question overview click here).
I feel kind of accomplished, though it seems like not many of my readers actively followed this series.
I'm not sure if or which kind of series or challenge I could start after I'm done with this one and I'm not even sure if I am in the mood for yet another madness like that... but we'll see about that. If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know in a comment below.

This and the next part will introduce the last missing villager specimen to you and of course I will show pictures of my favorites, borrowed from the A forest Life - blog, the original creator's blog is here. Today's category includes question 57 ~ 59 and is the exotic edition.

Today, I'm taking another step forward in my Animal Crossing challenge.

The finish line is already in sight but you can still click here, to check out the questionaire I'm working with.

The pictures I use to introduce the different villagers I show here, are taken from A Forest Life and the original owner's blog is linked here.

Part 16 is all about two other super fun species. One of them only contains three different characters, who are all rather popular whilst the other category seems a bit under-appreciated sometimes.

We're talking about the swimmers of the neighbourhood, the small guys and girls that go out without a umbrella in the rain and the ones that make us constantly wonder how they can actually survive on land. Question 55 ~ 56; frogs and octopi - the splish-splash edition.

It's time again to ramble about my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

As always an overview of the questionaire is available here, and the pictures of the villagers, taken to bring some color and fun into this update are borrowed from the blog "A forest life". Their original owner's blog is here.

In part 15 - only 5 parts from the end, we'll leave the pets behind and talk about the wild animals, that we definitely need to visit a zoo to see in real life, here in the European sphere. 

Part 14 includes question 49 ~ 54 - where we talk about every specimen between alligator and monkey.

Here we go with the next part of my Animal Crossing: New Leaf challenge, where I talk about my favorite things of the game.
As always you can find an overview of the questionaire here.

Today's specimen category contains 7 different animal types, which means lots and lots of images - that I borrowed from A forest life - just like in the other parts before. The original owner's blog is here.
After I talked about farm animals, pets, small fluffy things and bears, we have the big category of birds right in front of us from question 43 ~ 48.

Let's play together! ♡ とびだせどうぶつの森

It took me ages to put this together and I hope that I didn't leave out anything important, when I share with you today, all the things you can do with the mulitplayer options in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Just like you could visit your friends town in Wild World all these years prior there is no way this feature would be missing in the next title of the main series. In fact the glut of possibilities to enjoy this game with or due to other players is immense and I will try to explain the basics of most of them today.

Here we go again, with my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

As always, I like the questionaire overview here.

After we talked about the small and fluffy villagers that wander through our towns, I'll continue with another animal family in the parts 41 ~ 42: bears and cubs - but sadly I didn't come up with a good name for their edition yet (you could comment one below if you get a good idea). As before the images of the characters are taken from the A forest life, original creator is linked here.

It's time for the next part of my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
As always you can get an overview of the questions by clicking here.
After I talked about my favorite farm animals, that can become your neighbours it's time for the next category, that is all about the small bubbly villagers that can hide behind bushes and in flowers; the categories 38 ~ 40 - the small and fluffy edition.

As always in these specimen overviews, I took the images from a forest life, the original owner's blog is here.

It's time again, for part 11/20. 

As always I introduce my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf to you in different categories.

You can get an overview of the questions by clicking here.

After we've started into the different specimen of villagers last time, with the cute and fluffy edition, I'll continue with 33 ~ 37 - the farm edition today, again taking the pictures from a forest life - their original creator's blog is here.

Landscaping ♡ とびだせどうぶつの森

After changing my last dreamie, Molly, perforce (there was no patience I could possibly serve with anymore), I finally found a lovely person via twitter, who I will adopt Marina from tomorrow, which means Faylea will finally have all its residents and I can start to landscape effectively after changing my mind about how a hundered times already.

On this occassion, I thought it was time to bring up the next part of that sector here, where I answer unasked questions and share tips and tricks about Animal Crossing: New Leaf (I just need a more or less reasonable output for all the knowledge I gathered obsessively).

So today, I will share a handful of things that come to my mind when thinking about how to plan and landscape your town.

It's time for the next part of my "my favorite things" challenge, revolving around one of my all time favorites: Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

It's already time to blow for half time, but I'll still try to encourage you to join in because I'm super curious about your favorite things and would love to share the excitement. You can find the overview by clicking here.

After talking about color, character, shape and whathaveyou the last couple of parts, we've finally reached the stage to ask about specific specimen - which will be content of the next couple of updates that wait in line, starting with 29 ~ 32 - which I roughly dubbed the cute and fluffy edition.

my favorite things in AnimalCrossing ♡ 09

Here we go with yet the next part of this small challenge in which I talk about my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Feel free to join me, the questionaire's overview can be found here.

After I introduced one of the NPCs that I like when it wasn't exactly asked in the last part.

This part today is all about the store owners, event hosts, seasonal and random visitors that you find in the game. If we count the shop owners on main street alone, we get to say 'Hello' to more than 15 wonderful characters with their own charmes and there are many more than that!

So you can already guess that I can't exactly answer today's favorite with one animal only.

It's already time for the next part of me rambling about my favorite things in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! As always I invite you to join me in this little challenge. You can find the overview of the questions here.

After talking character and gender and even color in the last couple of updates, today we'll talk about the popularity of villagers which comes with some struggle for me - but we'll see how it goes.

Moving Villagers ♡ とびだせどうぶつの森

After putting this series to a rest right after starting it, I decided to finally get together the next part of that small sector where I answer unasked questions and share tips and tricks about one of my favorite games ever: Animal Crossing New Leaf.

In the last part I talked about how to start (you can check it out here) and will move on to a rather nerve-wrecking, crucial part, that might take a lot of time for ambitious players to achieve.

It's a point at which I was really, really happy to find so much help from other, more experienced players online, which I want to gather and share all together today.

We're talking about moving villagers and everything about this topic that comes to my mind.

So first of all, let me explain a term that you will find on a handful of animal crossing blogs: dreamies.

my favorite things in AnimalCrossing ♡ 07

It's time again for my personal Animal Crossing: New Leaf challenge.

If you are new to that or decide to take part in it too, please tell me and click here, for a summary of the questions.

After talking character types the last two times, we talk color now. 

We'll do something rather random but fun about the villager's appearance today because in this part of the challenge, I get to choose my favorite pink, blue, white and black villagers.

I'm not even exactly sure what I can generally say about the choice of color in Animal Crossing...
