[narrator] -Oh? Something new is on the horizon!
[biplane engine starting noise]
[relaxing acoustic jazz music] Our destination is this archipelago,
made up of several islands.
Known as a resort,
this locale is popular among characters searching for their ideal vacation homes.
This is Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise.
After a reference from Tom Nook,
you'll assist Paradise Planning, a resort developer,
in designing vacation homes.
[speaking animalese]
Through your work, you'll be in charge
of coordinating dream lifestyles for characters.
[music fades]
[mellow brass music] The goal of Paradise Planning
is to help characters acquire their dream vacation homes.
Characters with various dreams, come to visit the office on this island.
For example, meet Maple.
Her dream vacation home is filled with lots and lots of bears.
Let's make her dream a reality!
First, select the island on which the vacation home will be built.
Each island has distinctive features.
Yards, for instance, may differ from island to island.
Pick the island that best matches the request,
then, head on over to the site!
[speaking animalese]
Once you arrive on the island, take a tour of the home.
Place the designated furniture requested by the client.
After that, everything else is up to you!
Recommended furniture from Paradise Planning will already be available.
Pick which ones you'd like to use to start designing!
Create depth by adding lighting to the ceiling.
Spice up a wall with some wallpaper as well.
It looks fantastic!
While you're at it,
why not suggest ideas for the yard?
Not only can you place furniture,
you can also build fences,
plant trees,
and create paths.
The home's location and exterior can be modified, too.
And with the ability to modify the season,
time of day, and weather,
you can bring a design to life that's in perfect harmony with nature.
[speaking animalese]
[music fades]
[gentle synth music] As you continue designing vacation homes,
you'll acquire various design techniques.
For example, adjusting the size of the interior,
by modifying its width or length,
more creative design options will become available.
In addition, you can use partition walls to divide the space,
counters with two different heights,
and pillars that support the ceiling.
Each can help change how the home is structured.
Lighting can be adjusted as well to enhance the overall mood.
And, you can incorporate soundscapes, to add depth to the home's atmosphere.
Finally, polishing can give a finishing touch to the interior design.
Polish your furniture with care, and some effects may be added.
Why not give your furniture a new flourish?
After a hard day's work,
head back to the office to get compensated for your efforts.
[speaking animalese]
A shop space within the office sells rare furniture that may be hard to find on your island.
Once purchased, you can take it home with you.
[music ends]
[groovy acoustic synth music] As you receive more requests,
more furniture will become available.
Why not visit clients you've helped out before?
It might be good to suggest remodeling their vacation home with different furniture.
[speaking animalese]
two clients can share a vacation home.
We hope they love sharing their new piece of paradise!
[music ends]
[lighthearted synth music] Say, the island on which
Lottie's Paradise Planning office is located, has a lot of vacant buildings.
You can help Lottie design these as well, to make the island even more robust!
Take schools, for example.
Design one by drawing inspiration from your own memories,
or craft the school of your dreams instead.
Other facilities, such as a restaurant, can also be developed.
You may be delighted seeing others using the facilities you've designed.
[speaking animalese]
[music ends]
[cheery jazz music]
The vacation homes you design are captured in photos as design samples,
then recorded in the Paradise Planning portfolio.
To view the portfolio, use this NookPhone app, Happy Home Network.
From the app, you can visit the homes of previous clients and see how they're doing.
[speaking animalese]
By connecting online,
you'll be able to share your design with people from all over the world.
Follow the designers you like,
and view their designs to spark inspiration for your own.
[music ends]
[blissful piano music] Use the Animal Crossing series amiibo figures
and amiibo cards, to invite clients of your choosing,
[speaking animalese]
With amiibo, you can design vacation homes for these busy individuals.
The vacation homes you design for them will hopefully make them very happy.
[music ends]
[relaxing acoustic music] Design techniques
acquired while working with the Paradise Planning team can be used on your island.
Experiment with partition walls,
counters, pillars,
lighting,
and soundscapes.
[distant crowd mingling]
You can also polish your own furniture to spruce up your home.
And by gifting your residents a special souvenir from Paradise Planning,
[speaking animalese]
in what the archipelago has to offer.
They may even ask you to design a vacation home for them!
Who knows? Someday,
[speaking animalese]
you might even be able to suggest home remodels to your island residents!
[speaking animalese]
[music ends]
[relaxing brass music]
What do you think?
Turning every character's dream into a reality, with thorough and creative design,
that's the work of Paradise Planning.
There's a spot open for you to join their team, and start designing!
