AC Online

Roadmap

Phase 1 is done. Here is everything that shipped, and what comes next.

Phase 1

Done

  1. Full web port of the game

    The whole GameCube ROM, in your browser.

  2. Cloud saves

    Sign in and your town follows you to any device.

  3. HD texture packs

    Drop in a Dolphin-format .zip from Options → Load HD Texture Pack.

  4. Multiplayer

    Town visits are live. Ride the train to a friend's town and play together.

Phase 2

In progress

  1. Town map editor

    Build a town layout tile by tile in your browser, then walk it in-game.

  2. Character editor

    Pick a new face, skin tone or gender at any time, and see it before you save.

  3. Edit your town while you walk it

    Change the town from inside the game, walking around it in first person, instead of working on the grid. Your character works the same way.

  4. Animal Crossing+ (QOL mods)

    Quality-of-life tweaks on top of the original, already live, with more on the way:

    • Sit on rocks & stumps
    • Drop & place furniture, gyroids, and clothes as their real 3D models
    • 360° camera and first-person view
    • Improved lighting and visual effects (opt-in)

  5. Multiplayer improvements

    More of the town stays in step on a visit, and more of what you do together carries across.

Phase 3

Later

  1. Cloud mailbox

    Write a letter, send it to any town. Letters cross between players asynchronously.

  2. Multiplayer plaza

    A shared town where everyone online can hang out together.
