What makes Animal Crossing distinctive
Neighbours remember you, and the island slowly becomes yours.
What the template starts with
The Animal Crossing style template starts with a small island, one thing that resets each real day and one neighbour.
The clock on the wall is the clock in the room. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo, 2020) will not sell you yesterday's fossil tonight. One day of real time, one thing you can only do today, a neighbour who is not on a quest marker. 2D or a simple view is enough. A stamina bar is the wrong pressure.
What to change first
Put one item in the shop that will be gone tomorrow, and mean it. If the player can rewind the console clock as the intended way to play, say so, or stop pretending the day is real. The AI life sim maker is the neighbour. The real clock is the style.
