Animal Crossing: New Horizons user decoded two of the tiniest features of furniture this week, interpreting the music on an in-game chalkboard and deciphering a scrap of paper contained with typewriter music. Over 32 million copies of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been sold since its first release in March 2020. There have been several significant updates since the game’s introduction, including a massive Animal Crossing 2.0 upgrade scheduled for November 2021.
Animal Crossing immerses players in the lives of anthropomorphic animal residents on a secluded island they may customise any way they choose. Animal Crossing 2.0’s addition of over 9,000 new furniture, wall, and flooring components considerably enhanced the variety available for customising a player’s home’s interior. In addition to the new museum café and animal villagers, the game’s 2.0 update introduced a slew of additional improvements. For the first time, Animal Crossing players may now use first-person cameras and tripods to see their islands from a variety of new perspectives. YouTuber Komugi Neko (via Nintendo Life) shared two Easter eggs in Animal Crossing furniture: the music written on the blackboard item and the half-written piece of paper that rests in the typewriter item. A few lines of music may be written on the blackboard object, which includes a variety of customising possibilities.
When the notes are played, the game’s title screenplays the soundtrack for the primary New Horizons theme, according to the user. It’s a little more difficult to understand typewriters since they’re smaller and certain characters are partially obscured by the typewriter’s bar. The first-person view zoomed in and translated from Romaji reveals that it is a half-written message in Japanese. The following is a rough draft of the letter: “I appreciate all of your efforts, and I especially want to thank you. I’m OK, thank you. Despite the fact that it’s hot all the time, I’m glad the sun is out. I’m doing OK.” While there have always been Easter eggs in Animal Crossing, some are easier to spot than others. Both of these needed prior knowledge outside of the game, but the typewriter letter took the longest to translate due to the fuzziness of the letters on the page.
In Animal Crossing, the game’s new front-facing camera allows players to get closer to items and uncover more details than ever before. Prior to the update, a player could read the chalkboard item very well, but with the pre-update camera, they couldn’t read the typewriter letter at all. The tiny aspects of the Animal Crossing series, such as the villagers’ unique peculiarities, Animal Crossing’s unexpected hidden item features, and the fascinating narrative, are what keep gamers coming back for more. Players enjoy the game because of the delightful extras that they have to find for themselves. Players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons may find themselves eager to explore the game’s front-facing camera after discovering these new discoveries.
