Real-Time Animal Crossing Music

Memories just melted the hell back in, deeply.

I really want to go shovel up my yard now. I truly miss this game series.


what are the odds of Evilore implementing this idea in to GAF

Nice! Hopefully my phone's web browser will play this correctly so I can do so some stuff in my yard. Damn, this makes me want AC for 3DS! By the way, 9:00pm rules all!
 
This is a great idea. I'm more familiar with the DS version's music (thanks to wi-fi play, I played longer sessions than the GC version, although I played the GC version for longer overall I think), so I'll roll with that.

P.S.: Fuck City Life

P.P.S: Actually, GCN version is better. More ambient. Hmm.

I'd contend that the soundtrack for WW and CF is more ambient, given how much more active the N64/GC music is. But it is more melodic on average, though that means nothing because the GC soundtrack has this great overarching melodic theme that works so much better than standalone melodies and such.
 
Oh damn. This really makes me want to spend my whole weekend playing Animal Crossing, how sad is that? MUST CATCH ALL BUGS AND FISHES!

E3 is going to be glorious, Animal Crossing 3D blowout!

Sorry, Animal Crossing 3D has been cancelled, AC5 is now for WiiU and is running on the ArmA2 engine
 
Nice find.

The best music was always played in the wee hours of the morning. 1am-5am were bliss.
 
Ask and ye shall receive.

OK yeah it's big, but it's late and well you know.

To Do:
- Add in the Wild World/City Folk versions.
- Add in special versions, like KK Slider songs on Saturday nights, and holiday music at the appropriate times.

I've also not tested it switching over to a new time, tell me if there's bugs and whatnot~

Edit- D'oh, it doesn't loop. Knew I forgot something. Will fix later. For now you can click on the Gyroid and it'll start right back up. Sorry about that.

That's what I get for throwing this together when I know I should be sleeping. -_-

Edit 2- Should be looping now. Enjoy~

THANK YOU! This is awesome, and I'm eagerly awaiting the WW versions.
 
So soothing.

This is making me want to go back to Animal Crossing. What's better: The original Gamecube game or City Folk?
 
You know what, before right now I couldn't have cared less about AC 3DS, but I think the nostalgia brought on by this site is gonna convince me to buy it.

Yeah if you could add WW/CF soon I'd kiss your feet. Though I probably played GC version more, I have more fond memories of City Folk. Played a whole lot with my Uncle who moved to another country. Will definitely bring back memories.
 
Okay, I can't lie. This is a pretty amazing find.

Well, considering City Folk took one step forward and then about three steps back...
 
This is great. Hopefully Animal Crossing Wii-U is good because being able to play that + watch Tv at the same time will be the bestest.
 
Technically, that was Animal Forrest.

Although super-technically, it was Dobutsu no Mori.

And technically the Gamecube version was Animal Forest +, or Doubutsu no Mori +.

The original's music is still the best. Hopefully the 3DS one will return to the old style.

Thanks. And they're next for sure. Maybe I can add them tonight, depending on how I am when I get back from the movies. If not, then Thursday for sure. Will be re-encoding everything in Ogg, possibly at a slightly lower bitrate, which should cut down on the extension's size immensely.

Also planning on adding volume controls, in case you want to play them a little quieter than system volume.

Please rate/review/share on the Chrome Web Store if possible. :)
 
Coelacanth always made a rainy day go away, that said. I'd usually be overflowing with Bells at the end the day, anyway. Excellent work on the looper. Let's just make sure it loops better.
 
Hmm it doesn't auto-play when it changes tracks... will fix that later too.

I'm waiting to download until the next version, but this is an awesome idea. Thanks for putting the time into it!

Thanks. :)

3pm seems busted for some reason, will have to remember to fix that too.
 
Update 1.2:

- The music is now in Ogg instead of MP3, which shaved off almost 45% of the extension's size. It's 50 MB now, not small of course, but not as big as before.
- 3pm bug is fixed.
- New badge text color.
- Bigger badge icon.
- Crossing over into a new should actually keep the music playing after switching tracks. (The text should also update now, too.)

Let me know if there are bugs or whatnot.

PS- 1am music is even more amazing than I remember.
 
The music just started playing at 2am without me doing anything. Don't get me wrong... 2am music rocks but it scared the crap out of me.

Holy cow. Downloading now!
 
Great plugin, although when it is turned off, the music starts automatically to play between transitions (like 3:59 am -> 4:00am, and so)

Also, one little suggestion, if it's possible: It'd be great if you could be able to put a "delay" option. Like, replay the track of the hour with an amount of silence time between.
 
Yeah it randomly played at 11pm lol. Was in a Quake match and it seriously scared me.

Edit: Seems like it updated itself. Pretty cool.

That's a feature of Chrome. Chrome downloads updates for it and your extensions, and will automatically install them the next time you launch it.
