Nature 2 has been going pretty well since I last posted about it, with furniture working, player houses, flowers, and a new looking HUD.

One of the main things in Animal Crossing is being able to decorate your house with tons of cool things, and now in Nature 2 you can do just that! As of now you can buy furniture in the main shop, and just like Animal Crossing the furniture and items in the store will be randomly selected each day. 

In addition to being able to buy this furniture, it’s also functional too! Furniture can be placed in the player’s house, and if it’s dropped outside, it will just be a pick up item (similar to Animal Crossing’s leaf for items). There’s also special properties to furniture allowing stacking items on other items, such as placing a TV on a desk.

Animal Crossing also had various flowers and weeds. At the moment, I added 2 basic flowers, a red and yellow flower. The flowers can be picked up, re-planted, and sold. The flowers add a nice touch to the world, making it more than just trees, buildings and players.

Finally, I decided to work on the HUD, and I believe that it’s a great addition. The HUD displays the player’s character’s name, the player’s town name, the player’s cash, and the date.

That’s all the updates I’ve been working on. But before I end this post, I’m considering re-naming the title from “Nature 2” to “Nature: ” and then some title at the end. Similar to “Animal Crossing : Wild World”. It’s not “Animal Crossing 2”. This isn’t to copy Animal Crossing though, my main reason is that the first Nature wasn’t released to public do to strange bugs and errors that I couldn’t fix at the time, so there really wasn’t an open, public “Nature”. Now, I don’t want to call this game “Nature” because it’s not the first. So, I think “Nature: Some title” would be better.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more info regarding Nature 2, or “Nature: Some Title”.
