About the island

DA-1189-9249-1246

Honeydew was my first island and will forever be my beloved.

The final design for this island came to me because I would get super inspired by all of the ACNH pinterest and instagrammers with really cool aesthetic island themes but I could not settle on one for myself. So I thought: why choose one theme when I can do four??

Honeydew is split into 4 mini-islands: city on the bottom left, jungle on the bottom right, forest on the top left, and desert on the top right. Honestly I am so proud of this idea and this island will probably by my favorite forever.

City quarter

The city area is the most crowded (and laggy lol) and where pretty much everything service-wise lives. Nooks Cranny, Able Sisters, and Resident Services is here. So are Wendy, Olivia, and Agnes!

Forest quarter

The forest area is home to Fang and Dom, plus a cute little farm!! Not pictured but there is also a neat little forced perspecive area that I am rather proud of.

Desert quarter

The desert area is my personal favorite. Home to Mitzi, Coco, and Sasha. I had to cover this entire quarter with sand one tile at a time and I thought I was going to lose my mind.

Jungle quarter

The jungle area is home to me, Raymond, and Gayle, as well as the museum! I was going for a lost-ruins sort of vibe here. I am also very proud of my fossil use in this area.

I used to have an Animal Crossing Instagram where I posted about Honeydew that I no longer use but it's still up if you're interested! It's @achoneyhorizons. Fun fact!! the DA I posted on this instagram got reposted to pinterest without my permission and got a bajillion views. A lot of people criticize this island for being too crowded, which it is. What can I say, I <3 maximalism.

I miss this island. I nominate Agnes to be Resident Representative in my absence.

The final design of Honeydew is the third time I completely flattened and redid the island - Honeydew 3.0, if you will. Below is a little sneek peek at Honeydew 1.0 and 2.0! I think part of what made this island so special is how much you can see my ideas & creativity flourish over time.

Honeydew 2.0

I didn't have a specific "theme" with this island, but it kind of came out with a bit of a European vibe IMO, with the shrub-lined cobbled streets and little cafe tables overlooking the canals. Half of the island was a little town plaza and the other half was a woodsy forest, with a farm, cemetery, and picnic area. Although this iteration of the island wasn't terribly aesthetic, I miss it a lot, and there were a lot of little areas I hope to return to with Tuesday. My favorite is the path through the T-Rex fossil.

Honeydew 1.0

This was my very first stab at decorating and didn't last terribly long. I tried a bit of a tropical Mediterranean vibe. The map below is just one screenshot of it, since this version of the island was kind of in flux & being terraformed constantly.
