Hacking Animal Crossing Beyond Reason

Video Description

What if the GameCube Keyboard Controller worked with Animal Crossing? It started as a "quick, simple project", but it quickly ballooned into... seven... quick, simple projects. I thought about releasing several smaller videos, but I personally find it more compelling as one big, comprehensive experience – almost like a fireworks show. What did you think of the Grand Finale? I'm not sure if it comes across in the video, but Snake at 1-ish FPS is actually a lot more fun than it looks. I say "1-ish", because it actually runs at a variable framerate – faster when the snake's head and tail are closer together, and slower when they're further apart. This means that, on your way to the next apple, you can try slithering close to your tail for a short speed boost. It can be a little risky, but I think that adds to the fun. It was a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of thing, but my last video closed on the phrase "You can do a lot." This one ends on another phrase: "It's Possible". I think it's human nature to assume some things are impossible, even when they may just be "really hard". Some of the best stuff lives right on the edge of possible and impossible, so I try to give all my ideas the benefit of the doubt and assume them "possible until proven otherwise". If there's something you're thinking about working on – a project, a goal – maybe you can try saying it to yourself: "It's Possible". Once you convince yourself of that, things might start falling into place. I have to wonder if anyone else will find the code or 3D models for this project useful, but nevertheless, they're available for free right now on GitHub: ( https://github.com/hunterirving/pico-crossing ). And, if you'd like to support my work, consider purchasing a hand-printed postcard from my online store, Irving's Emporium: ( https://hunterirving.com/store ). If you do, I'll write you a note, slap a stamp on it, and mail it directly to you. I never really liked running a Patreon, so this is my attempt at something a little different. If it catches on, maybe I'll make a new print for every video I release! Thanks a million to Max and Chad for helping me carve the block on the CNC mill. And let's correct the tally – that should be 8* mini-projects... As always, you can follow me on Gobbler ( https://hunterirving.com/gobbler ) and Huntergram ( https://hunterirving.com/huntergram ). See you next time!
