Animal Crossing: New Horizons lets players' imaginations run wild, offering a host of character and island combinations so that new two individuals are ever exactly the same. That's been extended to Animal Crossing's fireworks, a recent addition that allows players to put on dazzling shows on certain evenings. So far, New Horizons players have gotten very inventive with the feature, as evidenced by some firework designs popping up online.
Not all designs are necessarily great, with many players opting for typical flashes of light and, of course, some New Horizons players have uploaded NSFW designs, but there are still plenty of fans making cool creations for the internet to see. It's a testament to what the game allows players to accomplish, starting off with a humble tent, and ending up with a custom island worthy of living on.
Designs have ranged from Pokemon-themed to memes, and just about everything in between is making an appearance. With players building islands to match Pokemon Diamond and Pearls' map in New Horizons, pairing themes with fireworks can result in some truly spectacular sights.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold well and received to rave reviews, releasing just as the coronavirus pandemic led to millions of people sheltering at home to avoid the spread of the virus. It filled a void for fans of the franchise, offering a distraction from the troubles of the real world, where players can go to interact with both their friends and villagers. It's a truly remarkable achievement on Nintendo's part.
Luckily, new content doesn't seem to be slowing down, either. August brings with it new limited-time items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which should give players plenty more to do. The game's consistent updates and seasonal events have helped the game keep the community flourishing, with new creations, design codes, and more consistently being shared online – just like the fireworks.
Animal Crossing games tend to stick around for quite a while, and there's no indication that New Horizons will be any different. That's a good thing for fans, as it means that all of their hard work building islands won't go to waste. Similar creations will likely pop up in the future, directly tied to island events or otherwise. Hopefully, the community is able to retain its creative nature well into the future, as the creations are certainly worth seeing.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Switch.
