i will NEVER recover from this island. he is too talented for this world like making the orange pansies look good??? who does he think he is??? bless him for simultaneously curing ALL of our burnouts. good god. i can't---
So… is it bad that the orange pansies are my favorite flower? 😂 I despised pansies especially but not the orange ones! They are the most versatile of all the orange flowers!
multiple big areas and smooth transitions make the place feel bigger. long hallways or walkways make the island feel smaller if they don't feel like a destination that matters. Many destinations is more memories. Fewer destinations and long walks inbetween is less memories because you just breeze by them.
I wonder if the Animal Crossing creators ever look at these videos. Are they even aware of the level of creativity of some players? The cul de sac blew my mind. So beautiful.
It’s the density of details that has that effect. There’s so much going on in a small space that a short distance can feel like a totally different place.
I’ve seen the trick with the doll houses a few times but I would’ve never thought of using the server items as far away looking skyscrapers? I lost my shit when I saw them and was so shocked that she didn’t point it out
This island is crazy, It feels like it could be a real place, and I personally don't like forced perspective too much, but the way he's done it in this video is really really good.
yeah usually forced perspective looks terrible but by making it the background of the path like that it is naturally integrated and i was initially convinced that he'd somehow made a mountain when i saw the thumbnail. it looks so good
@@tate4399 putting objects in the background or foreground to make something look bigger/smaller in scale which mimics different perspectives. So for example the big curve with houses in the background makes it look like a cliff with a neighborhood in the distance separated by forests. Often people will use the mini cars or houses to make things look further away like that... It also has to do with his house to make it seem like a garage, basically anything that requires you too look at it a certain way is forced perspective. It's not always believable looking though people are wary of it sometimes.
His cul-de-sac is life. Not only is it unbelievably realistic but it’s just soooo beautiful! The little touches like the scooter, trash cans, etc is simply brilliant. These types of high-level content creators need to be employed by Nintendo or some other gaming company because they can offer so much more complexity and design to what is a relatively simple game because you’re right, his designs have changed this game.
Some people just have a gift. Colin is clearly gifted with creativity. It just comes naturally to some people and I'm jealous. Wouldn't be surprised if he's really good at drawing either.
Nah I think skills like this can always be developed with practice. Might take some longer than others, but really comes down to dedicating enough time.
@@ellencoleman4604 ^This It's actually a bit disrespectful to reduce someone's hard work to a "giftedness". Some people might have more natural talent but without the hard effort to develop it, it's still just a starting point. :)
@@Pit1993x how was I disrespectful? I was giving him a major compliment. I didn't state that this wouldn't have been hard work, of course it was. I can't imagine how much time this would have taken. But even if I had the same amount of time put in to play I really don't think it would be at the same level of greatness as this. Hence why I said some people have a gift and are just very good with creativity. I have no idea how you managed to twist that into being disrespectful?
I was building a fall themed island anyway but as soon as that path released, I immediately changed up my entire design. I love the street path so much. Now I have to wonder... will he make a version of it that replaces the leaves with snow for the winter months.
@@codenameblazer in the description there's a code for the dream address and a creators code. If you pop that in the design machine on your nook phone or in the able shop it should come up with all the designs this creator has made
I usually have a hard time liking the use of cliffs/panels/objects to make buildings but the little corner store and the garage looked SO good that my jaw dropped. Colin did such a good job!
I've watched this video so many times because I'm so deeply in love with the island he created. The diagonal roads, the late fall lighting, just everything about this is so beautifully nostalgic I wish I could live on this island.
The diagonal paths are amazing! They add an almost surreal amount of depth to the island because I’m not sure if it’s just me but they look sloped even though they aren’t and I love it
I'm just halfway through the video but I can definitely tell that this Moon Island will definitely benefit on the Permanent Ladders that the upcoming update will have!!!
The hardest part about this game is finishing your island and not wanting to get rid of it, but then seeing such amazing creative ideas you want to implement!
as soon i saw the thumbnail i KNEW this was gonna be colin’s amazing island he deserves an award for what he’s done for the acnh community these past couple of months
8:05 yeah, one of the things that stands out the most to me is how well he made ugly items look so good and feel so natural within his overall design. Things I would normally consider wasted junk items, he has made into really cook props.
@@frogoverlord3471 I bet it's not as trash as you let on us to believe. If you have a very clear vision of what you want, it is slightly easier to gather stuff that could work with it. I find easier to make rooms than outdoors though. Terraforming is slow but making or searching custom designs is slower.
*immediately restarts island* seriously though I am so inspired to do a neighborhood build. Colin is amazing. I loved your your so much Shan! You made the visit so fun and relaxing.
This island is amazing and your commentary makes it ten times better. I haven’t played animal crossing in a year but this video broke my burnout and I started playing again.
I already know this is going to be ICONIC, jaw-droppingly good ooohh I’m excited. I have to say, after watching this tour this is the first time I’m considering flattening my island! 😅😅
Incredible how the perspective of the diagonal road made it seem as if you were walking downhill almost, along with the cypress forest. I audibly gasped lol.
My jaw dropped, all the views are so amazing and I’m sure many people want to have views like that on their island. I aspire to have something even similar to Colins island like props to him for all has hard work and dedication ✨ going to the DA right now! I have to see this myself.
Before this video I was quite proud of my island. Now I want to move in Colin's island mine feels ridiculous. I'm blown away by this guy's creativity ♡
i was def not ready for this amazement!! oh my gosh and the mountain with the overlook of the village wow i mean just wow, everything was thought of in a, well there aren't words, there's just not
This island is so amazing, oh my gosh. I can’t get over the creativity and beautiful aesthetic!!! The tiny village has got to be one of the best ideas I’ve ever seen on any island!! WOW. I also looooved the garage and the gas station. Those were both soooo well done and convincing; they looked so realistic and seamless 😮 can’t wait to visit this dream address!!
Watching this took me back to these calm October afternoons with my cousin, going places we shouldn't, the basketball court in the drive way and having to yell "Car!" as a single vehicle came slowly our way...the old forgotten house no kid ever went to, some said the last occupants were murdered you know...it's smashed in windows and rotting wood exterior as the paint oozed off the walls from rain fall, they said you could hear the clamoring of footsteps at night in there of thick heavy boots, the pattering of metal tools at times as a nefarious act was plotted. Though that got torn down long ago by now and a lavish house takes it's place today, I still wonder, was the spirit ever put to rest? We may never know. No joke there were a lot of dilapidated houses near the end of that old road, and farther into the overgrown weeds with a steel gate at the roads end, near the farmland a few miles. We were so scared of that, and even creepier there was a old tree miles off with no houses but a single tire swing and the story of a murder dumping spot that happened there, gives me a chill recalling that place. Happy Halloween everyone!
duuuuuude! 5 stars isn’t high enough of a rating for this, it’s stunning! this is exactly the kind of inspo I needed for my own suburban themed island.
I'm searching for ideas to build my island because I have absolutely no idea how to, but this is GENIUS. ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!! I love how realistic it is. So insane. I love this so much.
LOVE this tour! defo saving some of their codes for my autumnal town island (Patchwork). I am defo subscribing as I checked your channel out after this and I see so many cute build thumbnails, you seem right up my alley
I visited the dream address from the description and this island is truly amazing! I liked it very much! I need a while to get to the upper black house as well as to the upper street with the distant view of the doll houses. If you visit with the dream address you have no ladder and Colin didn't leave any ladder lying around open. So I need to find out that he put some green Mario tubes at the end of some of those street dead ends. If you are in front of a Mario tube just press A and the character will be randomly transported to another Mario tube on the island. This could transport you to the unaccessible upper street with the distant view as well as the upper black house. But if you have bad luck of cause you can also be transported to some cliffs and get stuck. I managed to jump from the cliff back into the tube one level deeper by pressing A but you could also use the emergency service on the Nook phone to get out there.
Colin is so creative and i love all his codes! I just wish I could use them because he missed some of those skinny horizontal and vertical pieces of those fall leaf dirt paths!
for my island i wanted to make a forest village and have a little hiking trail, seeing this makes me so amazed at how he made the road with the trees and houses in the distance :,,D looks like i gotta work harder LOL
I wanted to go for city/natural, I tore mine down and haven’t played in about 6 months until I heard about this update so I’m frantically trying to fix my island 🙃 this is amazing! 😍
i will NEVER recover from this island. he is too talented for this world like making the orange pansies look good??? who does he think he is??? bless him for simultaneously curing ALL of our burnouts. good god. i can't---
the fact he made the orange pansies look good is actually INSANE
@@KyuubiCrossing i now feel like i need to use orange pansies his POWER
Well said... Well said. But I can't, do we quit now??! 😂
@@catchmecrossing i already did, i got super burnt out man and i cant really jump back-
So… is it bad that the orange pansies are my favorite flower? 😂 I despised pansies especially but not the orange ones! They are the most versatile of all the orange flowers!
the way his islanders are living in luxury while mine are practically living in a barren eternal work in progress 💀
OH god i have never related more to a comment. my friend and i made a promise to finally finish our islands this winter 2021/2022 lol. ya right! T___T
The way I have NOTHING🤣😭🤚
LMAO!! I have the majority of the villagers in this video and it made me feel even more bad for mine back in my trash island...
I feel bad for my cute villagers because I feel like I’m obligating them to live between garbage 😂
omg same
designs like this make their islands look 5x bigger than everyone else's. amazing skill
multiple big areas and smooth transitions make the place feel bigger. long hallways or walkways make the island feel smaller if they don't feel like a destination that matters.
Many destinations is more memories.
Fewer destinations and long walks inbetween is less memories because you just breeze by them.
Literally!
I wonder if the Animal Crossing creators ever look at these videos. Are they even aware of the level of creativity of some players? The cul de sac blew my mind. So beautiful.
I hope so, they really need to add diagonal pathways, I’m surprised it was never included
Mines was the optical illusion that the hill was actually going downwards
Oh no, if so the island only gets reported for taking the creativity too far🤣 But seriously, some islands look so pretty ahhh
I have a small little cup de sac on my island too 😊😊😊😊😊😊💕💕💕
The doll houses as houses far away is GENIUS how did I not think of that.? Also, it always feels like these peoples islands are bigger than mine
It’s the density of details that has that effect. There’s so much going on in a small space that a short distance can feel like a totally different place.
@@A_Dylan_of_No_Renown that makes sense, I need to move my stuff closer together
I’ve seen the trick with the doll houses a few times but I would’ve never thought of using the server items as far away looking skyscrapers? I lost my shit when I saw them and was so shocked that she didn’t point it out
Well they did remove the river so there's a lot more space

He uses forced perspective so well. I have never seen such an incredible island, omg.
I ADORE his island so much. It has so much character to it, like there's a story to each resident. It's actually unbelievable.
The cypress forrest I-….brb reterraforming my entire island
the cypress forest had me on the floor
I'm rolling in my burnout grave
This island just gives me so much nostalgia for fall during my childhood. Absolutely my favorite island so far.
Some people just have a gift. Colin is clearly gifted with creativity. It just comes naturally to some people and I'm jealous. Wouldn't be surprised if he's really good at drawing either.

I usually have a hard time liking the use of cliffs/panels/objects to make buildings but the little corner store and the garage looked SO good that my jaw dropped. Colin did such a good job!
This is honestly the best Island ive ever seen.... 9:40 it looks like you are going down a street but it is just one level.... this is breathtaking ❤
I’m still trying to figure out how he did that; is it bc the road is curved? Is it the shape of the terraforming? My brain feels like it’s glitching 😂
I've watched this video so many times because I'm so deeply in love with the island he created. The diagonal roads, the late fall lighting, just everything about this is so beautifully nostalgic I wish I could live on this island.

Colin crossing blew me away with his designs and creativity, Moon makes you want to move there 🍂
some people are just soooo talented
agreed! i need an ounce of colin’s talent
Excuse me sir. I’m afraid you’ve violated animal crossing law. You’re making us look bad and I’m sick of it.
colins talent is honestly rude
I feel so goddamn self concious, D: everything is so nice my island is so trash
Give back the stolen talents or pay with your custom designs!

For some reasons this island gives me such hype to play again!!
The fact that I can't even lay down paths and here he is making this whole island like... 😍 HOW ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS REAL!?
This island gives off Monster House vibes from the setting it was in and it just slapped me in the face with nostalgia, it's absolutely gorgeous
@10:48 so much about this guys style is blowing my mind but the garlands as a bridge!!! Omfg!!!! I love!!!! This is absolutely incredible wow

That rounded cul-de-sac reminds me of the OG Animal Crossing where the player's house is.

This is probably the most realistic island I've ever seen??? It's really cool
I haven’t watched the video yet, and I already know that this is gonna be good.
it truly blew me away

You have me laughing so hard. 😂 That is priceless “my on my are we even playing the same game?”
Lol I feel you.
love how he used the IT servers as skyscrapers
I loved this tour so much. My small town looks JUST like this in the fall irl ♡

The floating blocks with the flowers on top is friggin awesome! 👍👍
these are probably my favorite path codes ever. i have a spring island but this is reallyyyy tempting me to switch to fall 👀

The way used vending machines as sky scrapers behind the doll houses… just absolutely amazing
wolfgang really fits in omg

Wow. I just treated myself to the system and game and just started playing. I'm in awe here.
I LOVE how in the thumbnail it looks like the road is going up! It’s like driving on a road, looking down at the beautiful view
This is on another level!! Such a gorgeous and unique island! Love the spooky vibes🖤👻 🎃
this video is so cute. and your voice is so calming :3 also the BOBA OMGGG I NEEEEED THATS SO CUTE
Iv been waiting for this island! He is so talented and you did such an amazing job touring the island 😭😭🥰
thank you so much ava, love you!! 🤍

This is THE best island I've even seen 🙊
And it had a really nostalgic feel to it
Omg the road path in the autumn is so aesthetic!
im still recovering from visiting this island. one of the best ive seen
I just can’t get over your intro! it’s so cute
thank you catherine!! 💕
@Kyuubi Crossing
no problem!
My gosh this player has creativity on another level. Love how he design smart n natural good looking
This seriously needs more views I mean whoa I've seen amazing islands but this once single handedly is the absolute best!! Bravo!
I want this for my island. This has been my favorite island I have ever seen. So we need directions on how you made this. This is just incredible
And to think this was made before the major update. Creators like Colin are going to have a field day with the new furniture and features.
dang I tried for months to figure out a way to make a cul de sac look nice, I'm so glad I finally found one that looks this amazing!!
the view of the little houses and skyline was such a great idea. very creative island, feels so cozy! :D
Sometimes just playing AC in a different area just makes someone feel great. It’s nice.
Oh wow when I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was edited but dang it's a real game footage. Applause to the owner of this island! 🥰👏
Colin is so creative and i love all his codes! I just wish I could use them because he missed some of those skinny horizontal and vertical pieces of those fall leaf dirt paths!
i dont even know what to say, this whole island feels so surreal. i legit cried
i'd legit pay this person hundreds to design my island
for my island i wanted to make a forest village and have a little hiking trail, seeing this makes me so amazed at how he made the road with the trees and houses in the distance :,,D looks like i gotta work harder LOL
Enjoying the tour of this beautiful island and it makes me wonder did I really play the same game as he is.. 😅
lol...I know right??? 😳
I wanted to go for city/natural, I tore mine down and haven’t played in about 6 months until I heard about this update so I’m frantically trying to fix my island 🙃 this is amazing! 😍
This is AMAZING! I was looking for a autumn themed island for my mom since it’s her favorite season and this inspired me so much
WOW!! 😍
I've never seen anything like this!!😮
This island is amazing!!😍😍😍
Ight! When can I move in? 😂 This island is super cute and right up my alley! I’m such a sucker for Fall!
I love the servers used as a distant city!
oh my goodness this island is so so good, I am mind blown!!
I...I have no words to express...I am in awe...I wish I could live there!!! Absolutely incredible 👏😍
Where I live actually looks like this right now, it's honestly amazing
Completely amazing!! Mind blown!! Love love love love!! Stunning! 😍😍😍😍
