I cam just imagine all the villagers waking up to this and going to the cafe to gossip, but then Ryan just comes along and pockets the chairs from under thier feet.
I love the noise the cliffs make when terraforming but hate having to do it myself and just end up destroying my areas! Would absolutely love to watch you terraforming your island and seeing it evolve!
I still prefer the unedited vidoes. I just started playing, so it'll be nice to see hear your thought process and the execution behind reterraforming your island
I love the terraforming! Can't wait to see the process I might have to start watching the streams haha. I wanna redo my island but wanting to save some bells first before I do that.
For the terraforming sections I’d love to see a time lapse just for satisfying purposes, you could add some commentary over the top as well, although the t might take longer to upload
i would recommend entirely restarting the game! i just did so to my 650+ hour island and it was HARD. hard to leave all my villagers and hard to leave the island i worked soo soo hard on. but now that i have restarted it is so refreshing and every day there is actually something to do. it’s so much fun to have new villagers and new adventures and to start fresh. now that i’ve done that i don’t regret restating at all and barely want to go back to my other one.
ah, the perfect thing to watch while on a long car ride. the peaceful sound of animal crossing music, the gentle patter of footsteps and ryan's soothing voice
Personally, I don't think you have to worry about boring us while you tear down your island. You always have interesting things to talk about while you play! What might be helpful (and something you already do to an extent), is have a list of topics to talk about while you do certain "boring" activities like tear down cliffs or fill in waterways. Maybe start talking through a thought process for how you'd like to design something for the new island... villager neighborhood, shopping district, island entrance etc. After a video or two, feel free to ask us again and we'll let you know if you should maybe change things up :D
Ooo I'm excited to see the process of you building your island back up. I've been tempted to tear down my island and build it back up but I'm worried seeing the everything flat and blank will be overwhelming and I'll have no idea where to start
I want to see the whole process to be honest, every Animal Crossing New Horizons creator is scared of what there viewer's will think about this long and drug out process, but I love it so.
We are literally doing the same thing. I’ve been thinking about restarting and making my island have a cottage core theme with “the path” too. I’ve been thinking about it for the last few days and because you’re doing it, now I’m extra motivated :)
I restarted my whole island a month ago, I lost interest in my old island and it made me stressed out so I figured it was time to build something I wanted to go to everyday. And I’m much happier with my new island.
I don’t mind the terraforming! If you don’t wanna show the slow process and have the terraforming sounds though, you can always do a time lapse of you terraforming and you doing a voice over of your thought process with the 5am music over it. I find those ac speed build videos just as relaxing!
I really really like watching your terraforming process! I usually play these videos and listen in the background so I like hearing the different sounds! I think the terraforming will be a nice change for the unedited videos also.
I love terraforming videos! But you can always do a speed build style with a voice over or with some music playing over the video, which I've seen done and is super relaxing and inspiring to watch!
I just decided to do the same thing like 2 days ago and flattened my entire island. just a tip for terraforming I do it in strips and it works perfectly for me :)
OMG I so needed to stumble on this vid. I love my island, but just losing motivation to do much daily. Spend more time focusing on things I should have laid out differently at the beginning, but you’ve inspired me and I will now binge watch your destruct/rebuild ideas. Thanks!
Hi Ryan! I am posting this here because i have a better chance of being seen here then in twitch chat, but i would love to see more streams of you playing BOTW casually. They are just as chill as these and maybe better! Anyway, hope you have an awesome day.
Oh boy! I ended up pulling an All-Nighter last Thursday to demolish the second and third teirs on the West Side of my Island to make it feel more open in addition to building up the North side of my Island to redo the yard for my house as well as my favourite vilager. I’ll be demolishing my orchard this weekend in addition to redoing my Plaza and start moving villager houses… again. LOL. Good luck with the remodel! Can’t wait to see more progress and the final results! Thanks for sharing with us! :-)
I personally don’t mind all of the terraforming! I love watching the process. I feel like I’ve witnessed so much terraforming that I’m just used to the sounds and tediousness of all of it tearing down 😂
I'm really excited by this! I'm pretty new to the game and only unlocked teraforming a few days ago - feeling very overwhelmed by the size of my island and how *much* I want to do - so seeing someone flatten their island to essentially do this, is really comforting in a weird way!
i’m excited to get to that point where i feel like i have nothing else to look forward to, and have all the money i could need, because that means i can start from scratch and make a really fun custom island! i’m so ready for that, but am still loving my island now.
Yesssssss since you started talking about tearing down your island and rebuilding I’ve been patiently waiting to watch the process! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Omg you are my spirit animal. I have personally felt the exact not-explainable-by-words way about animal crossing since the GameCube version. I feel like a lot of people expect so much more out of the game and try to speed run it and "beat" the game as quickly as possible (e.g. time-traveling, visiting catalogue islands, stalk market forums, etc.).
Well, it is the perfect time to herd your rocks. Just slap "linoleum" down to block the spawns. I tried mannequins and moving around them was impossible. It took me 8 days of WORK but I love it now! Also, I started a second Alt character, my actual husband who doesn't play. His house is going to fulfill a storyline I am working on for the island. And "his" gameplay is SO different than when I am me! It really added another level. So, stories & alts...always a fun option 😊
Excited for another island journey! I use your videos as relaxing background noise while I work, and it's really changed both my mood and productivity while in quarantine :)
I flattened the back half of my island last week and still have no clue what to do. Only moved the orchard and my house. Getting really hard to know what to do, so I understand you taking that days break. Hope the rebuild goes well for you x
I started watching after your island was pretty much done so I’m excited to see the island flatten and redone. I don’t mind the talking or terraforming again it’s just like hanging with a friend who also loves this game !
Honestly, the sound of the terraforming made me feel productive lol. I liked it. Talk or not it was enjoyable. I like hearing your thoughts while do that. Because I restarted my island because I was bored, changed everything about it. Started over. I’ve played so much!!! :) It’s my new fav game again :)
I also have a ton of resources in my storage. But I've found it kinda therapeutic to go to a mystery island and just demolish everything for the resources. Plus, if I ever have a friend who needs something like stone or hardwood, I've got it for them. ☺️
So excited to see your process! I just recently got this game and just got terraforming so I haven’t tried it out yet other than the paths so I’m actually really interested to see how to terraform and your creative process! Thanks for making these videos! I think you are such a lovely person!
Okay here’s my opinion Ryan 😂 I have been so excited for this time to come because it’s so satisfying to see and make a clean slate also I’m hoping this process means more videos, however I can see myself getting sick of the terraforming sound. If there’s a way to turn it down and keep the 5am music that’d be lovely 🙌🏻 but if not, I will still watch every episode, wrecking ball sounds or not.
I like watching the build up and tear down. I listen while playing a game so long talking videos plus some tips is good for me. When it’s jammed full of tips I have to pay attention to it’s less likely I can watch it soon after it comes out.
I'd really like to see the whole process of re-designing the island! But I do think the terraforming does take a long time, so maybe some sort of terraforming timelapse or just speed up the terraforming bits with a voiceover? Looking forward to see what you do with the island :D
I thought I was the only one that felt the lull of the game! I am also tearing down my island and starting anew. Instead for trying to “beat” the game and acquire everything I possibly can... I’m thinking taking it one (albeit) hour at a time and really making the island somewhere I’d want to travel to :) I seriously got stressed out enviously exploring people’s “Disney” inspired islands LOL such talented folks XP
Love your videos Ryan, thanks for sharing. AnimalCrossing is all about “Chill” for me, and I love watching these and seeing ideas, love how it stimulates the mind.
Most efficient way to terraform (as Christian said previously) is in straight lines, every other row. You will turn your body only once you have hit the end of a row. Enjoy watching terraforming! ❤️ from LA
I enjoy watching de constructing videos and the process behind it! It’s oddly satisfying. I’d suggest continue recording these videos as many people keep your videos up as background music for the most part
I find that a lot of people are getting burnt out on the game recently, and I think it’s because they want their island to be perfect! But the fun of it is that it’s never “perfect”, there’s always something to change and develop! That’s what recaptured the magic for me. Can’t wait to watch the rebuilding process!
I ended up doing this with my last island but then I ended up restarting the game. I missed the beginning days of animal crossing so much and it was a fun experience. I can't wait to see what your island is going to look like.
i’ve just flattened my 300+ hours island and i’m restarting aswell! i’m much more happy with my terraforming and island right now even though i’ve just done the entrance and main island
I know the feeling in terms of not being bothered about playing...I was a tad more extreme and restarted my entire island though and I love it! That's mainly because I wasn't really attached to my villagers in my original game, somehow Tom Nook decided to automatically move in all the "popular" villagers on my island, I had Julian, Chief, Flurry, Phoebe, Meringue, Zucker, Flora, Patty, Antonio and Purrl. I got pretty fed up of them. My new island has villagers that aren't as popular but I think it gives my island more character and I feel better already. Edit: I think terraforming is relaxing to watch/listen to so go for it!
So excited! I'm planning on doing this soon so looking forward to seeing your process. Don't mind watching terraforming but also if you think it's too annoying then wouldn't mind it just as a sped up bit in a normal video!
I don't know if it matters, but I am also neutral when it comes to time hopping or not. When I worked on a huge part of my island, I needed to move buildings multiple times and I think in that time it's no problem if you decide to time hop to do that. You already are gonna spend TONS of time terraforming and cutting trees etc. Also, I will watch (and know others) you tear down or build up over and over and over for a long time so I really would love to see the whole process.
Hey Ryan!! New subscriber here!! Just want to say thank you for all the awesome videos!! I slowly catching up. I just started playing ACNH and I’m really enjoying your videos while I’m playing!
i really enjoy watching the terraforming :) its pretty satisfying! i love watching your videos while doing other things so i honestly dont even mind about whats happening in them
I cam just imagine all the villagers waking up to this and going to the cafe to gossip, but then Ryan just comes along and pockets the chairs from under thier feet.
DatsMy1-Up 😂😂😂

Happy :D ty autocorrect 😉
Happy :D we know what he meant, that was a lil but unnecessary
Eliott Arthur Joseph Bailey its she
Ryan’s feelings about time travel are so neutral he’s practically Switzerland

Underrated comment

I love watching terraforming! I love watching the process as well as seeing the final result
I’m so excited to see what this island will be like in the end, but probably more excited to see the process. I can’t wait for more videos like this!
I love the noise the cliffs make when terraforming but hate having to do it myself and just end up destroying my areas! Would absolutely love to watch you terraforming your island and seeing it evolve!
I actually love watching other people terraform! Even if it's just tearing everything down
I still prefer the unedited vidoes. I just started playing, so it'll be nice to see hear your thought process and the execution behind reterraforming your island
I agree!
I love the terraforming! Can't wait to see the process I might have to start watching the streams haha. I wanna redo my island but wanting to save some bells first before I do that.
Sameee
I found that working on one's island is the most enjoyable...now that I finished, it is boring
For the terraforming sections I’d love to see a time lapse just for satisfying purposes, you could add some commentary over the top as well, although the t might take longer to upload
i would recommend entirely restarting the game! i just did so to my 650+ hour island and it was HARD. hard to leave all my villagers and hard to leave the island i worked soo soo hard on. but now that i have restarted it is so refreshing and every day there is actually something to do. it’s so much fun to have new villagers and new adventures and to start fresh. now that i’ve done that i don’t regret restating at all and barely want to go back to my other one.
Hey y’all! I’m so ready to see where this island goes!!
When you're removing cliffs, you can also avoid the corner cliff issue by removing every other row or column of land of that makes sense.
ah, the perfect thing to watch while on a long car ride. the peaceful sound of animal crossing music, the gentle patter of footsteps and ryan's soothing voice
Personally, I don't think you have to worry about boring us while you tear down your island. You always have interesting things to talk about while you play! What might be helpful (and something you already do to an extent), is have a list of topics to talk about while you do certain "boring" activities like tear down cliffs or fill in waterways. Maybe start talking through a thought process for how you'd like to design something for the new island... villager neighborhood, shopping district, island entrance etc. After a video or two, feel free to ask us again and we'll let you know if you should maybe change things up :D

Yay! I just reset my island and it’s been really nice!! ✨

I just decided to do the same thing like 2 days ago and flattened my entire island. just a tip for terraforming I do it in strips and it works perfectly for me :)
Keep the terraforming. Excited to watch the rebuilding of your island. Thanks for the tips.
OMG I so needed to stumble on this vid. I love my island, but just losing motivation to do much daily. Spend more time focusing on things I should have laid out differently at the beginning, but you’ve inspired me and I will now binge watch your destruct/rebuild ideas. Thanks!

Honestly that’s how I play animal crossing. One day at a time. Like there’s no rush in what you want to do ( I don’t time travel).
I personally don’t mind all of the terraforming! I love watching the process. I feel like I’ve witnessed so much terraforming that I’m just used to the sounds and tediousness of all of it tearing down 😂
Nooo 😂😂I’m gonna miss your island man 😂
I love terraforming. The sounds are relaxing and the interesting part of what’s next is fun. So go, please don’t leave the terraforming out :)
I'm really excited by this! I'm pretty new to the game and only unlocked teraforming a few days ago - feeling very overwhelmed by the size of my island and how *much* I want to do - so seeing someone flatten their island to essentially do this, is really comforting in a weird way!

Yesssssss since you started talking about tearing down your island and rebuilding I’ve been patiently waiting to watch the process! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I’ll miss your island Ryan but I totally get the need to redo and get excited again! Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Omg you are my spirit animal. I have personally felt the exact not-explainable-by-words way about animal crossing since the GameCube version. I feel like a lot of people expect so much more out of the game and try to speed run it and "beat" the game as quickly as possible (e.g. time-traveling, visiting catalogue islands, stalk market forums, etc.).
i quite enjoy watching you terraforming😂😂 if it gets too long and repetitive you can just speed them up a bit!
I love watching you terraform! It does help when you talk while the sound is going
Well, it is the perfect time to herd your rocks. Just slap "linoleum" down to block the spawns. I tried mannequins and moving around them was impossible. It took me 8 days of WORK but I love it now!

Its neither boring or annoying! As long as theres commentary now and again!

I love to watch it. Its nice to have in the back as I do my daily stuff. Maybe you could live stream it.
do you record all this in obs and then transfer it over? just wondering because i wanted to start making videos as well 😁
I started watching after your island was pretty much done so I’m excited to see the island flatten and redone. I don’t mind the talking or terraforming again it’s just like hanging with a friend who also loves this game !
i love watching these while eating my breakfast
Honestly, the sound of the terraforming made me feel productive lol. I liked it. Talk or not it was enjoyable. I like hearing your thoughts while do that.

I definitely wanna see the transformation! I don't mind the process! Please keep them coming!
Okay here’s my opinion Ryan 😂 I have been so excited for this time to come because it’s so satisfying to see and make a clean slate also I’m hoping this process means more videos, however I can see myself getting sick of the terraforming sound.

Hi I love this series
I like the terraforming part as this is usually on in the background while I play myself.
It’s not annoying and boring with the terraforming for me it’s satisfying maybe that’s just me but I enjoy it
Most efficient way to terraform (as Christian said previously) is in straight lines, every other row. You will turn your body only once you have hit the end of a row. Enjoy watching terraforming! ❤️ from LA
I enjoy watching de constructing videos and the process behind it! It’s oddly satisfying. I’d suggest continue recording these videos as many people keep your videos up as background music for the most part
I like watching you tear everything down
I love watching people tear things down! Demolish! Demolish!
I find that a lot of people are getting burnt out on the game recently, and I think it’s because they want their island to be perfect! But the fun of it is that it’s never “perfect”, there’s always something to change and develop! That’s what recaptured the magic for me. Can’t wait to watch the rebuilding process!
I find terraforming super satisfying to watch - it’s less frustrating than doing it and gives me inspiration for when I do!
I ended up doing this with my last island but then I ended up restarting the game. I missed the beginning days of animal crossing so much and it was a fun experience. I can't wait to see what your island is going to look like.
I think you should fast forward the terraforming part, it’s already tedious to do lol love the vids
Im sooo excited to see what you do and all the future terraforming streams/videos!
I would honestly watch a 3-hour unedited video of you doing this lol I find terraforming and decorating so peaceful
I find it oddly relaxing watching unedited terraforming , keep doing what you do Ryan 👍🏻
I want to see every step of the redesign! Terraforming and all
i think the terraforming js kinda relaxing lol,,,,its kinda refreshing to watch too !!! 😊
I like watching the terraforming. It’s relaxing when you’re not the one doing it 🤣
I enjoy the terraforming, also hopefully eventually hearing what you plan on doing in the areas as you work on them
That moment when you said it was time to tear everything down I realized you were chopping down the fruit trees
i’ve just flattened my 300+ hours island and i’m restarting aswell! i’m much more happy with my terraforming and island right now even though i’ve just done the entrance and main island
I personally, don’t mind the terraforming audio! Love seeing this process!
I don't think watching the terraforming process is boring. I'm exciting to see how the island turns out!
I love hearing the land braking, it's so satisfying
I dont mind watching you terraform! I personally find it peaceful
I don't mind the terraforming noise. It makes a cool beat after a while. Excited to see where your island goes!
Just in time, I was just thinking of redoing my entrance for the 100th time!
Your videos are the highlight of my day.... i always play them in the background while I work.
The sound of terraforming is relaxing, it’s like asmr. Actually your voice is kinds low and cool but it ruins the vibe
This such a coincidence! I just started redoing my island as well!
I know the feeling in terms of not being bothered about playing...I was a tad more extreme and restarted my entire island though and I love it! That's mainly because I wasn't really attached to my villagers in my original game, somehow Tom Nook decided to automatically move in all the "popular" villagers on my island, I had Julian, Chief, Flurry, Phoebe, Meringue, Zucker, Flora, Patty, Antonio and Purrl.

So excited! I'm planning on doing this soon so looking forward to seeing your process. Don't mind watching terraforming but also if you think it's too annoying then wouldn't mind it just as a sped up bit in a normal video!
Thx for all of these videos they rlly calm me and help my mental health keep it up!
I really love any and all content you decide to put out lol, I could watch 10000 episodes of anything lol
omg i‘m redoing my island atm too! i‘m excited how yours will turn out
I don't know if it matters, but I am also neutral when it comes to time hopping or not. When I worked on a huge part of my island, I needed to move buildings multiple times and I think in that time it's no problem if you decide to time hop to do that. You already are gonna spend TONS of time terraforming and cutting trees etc.
Also, I will watch (and know others) you tear down or build up over and over and over for a long time so I really would love to see the whole process.
I still love listening to your Animal Crossing videos while I’m playing Animal Crossing
Terraforming Is So Calming To Me For Some Reason.
Yes! It is CATHARTIC. Please keep it in the videos. It gives me a sense of something getting accomplished.
I don't mind watching someone terraform, even if it is just knocking down levels or filling in water. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!
honestly i adore watching terraforming, so id love it if you kept it in!
Hey Ryan!! New subscriber here!! Just want to say thank you for all the awesome videos!! I slowly catching up. I just started playing ACNH and I’m really enjoying your videos while I’m playing!
i really enjoy watching the terraforming :) its pretty satisfying! i love watching your videos while doing other things so i honestly dont even mind about whats happening in them
I really want to watch you terraform but maybe sped up a little with a commentary over the video? Can’t wait to you transform more of your island!
I really like the terraforming. It's soothing when someone else is doing it. :P
I like watching the whole process! Keep it going!
