I recently discovered this and read through the comments and notes. I have some suggestions to add to future updates and would love to help. I noticed someone wanted to have furniture, why don't you have little place holders for all the sizes of the items, not just each item in game, and also make the beach customization, it is difficult to correctly map out your lay out. maybe be able to name save files and have more than one, so you can try out different layout islands.
Hi! I recently downloaded this to plan my island. It seems amazing but unfortunately when I open it, the camera drifts uncontrollably to the right (when I'm not even touching w,a,s,d or anything) :( Is this a known bug? Is there a way to fix this?
I love this and would love to see it develop into a masterpiece because I'm not the best at designing and stuff, this helped a little with that, keep working on this it's amazing! <3
Grab a copy of "islandmanager.island" inside there and paste it into a location of your choice.
For multiple saves just have multiple folders there to put one save in each.
To load one of theese into the app, be sure, you made the previous steps with your previuos work, than copy the save of your choice and paste it into the path, written above, overwriting the file there.
This is great for planning out my island but I think being able to view where you put bridges and buildings on the mini map would make placement easier and perhaps adding trees also if its not too much
I have a suggestion! Maybe before we start building on our island options come up on which island layout we have. then it will place the sand the beach the rivers and the residential services where they're supposed to be! I know your really busy. if you read this thank you!
There are way to many islands for them to make it... What I did is pair up "Happy Island designer" with this website so that I can do the 3D design on here and draw it out on Happy Island designer. Happy Island designer allows you to take a pic of your island and then draw it out.
You did an amazing job! Thank you so much for all of your work on this app, it's really helped me plan out some small section of my island like my entrance and museum area. I seem to be having trouble exiting out of it after using it and basically have to force it to quit via task manager on macbook, but that could be because I'm dumb and haven't figured out how to close it the normal way yet. Anywho, thanks again!
I cant figure out how to make the app island look like mine? In pictures I see people have their river outlets and rocks showing but I have a giant blank square with no rocks or outlet
i think being able to see the grid below cliffs would be super helpful. Just a thought tho :) also the addition of trees, flowers, and bushes would be a lot of fun
Just wondering if theirs another update?? Also there is no airport to place?? and when you place buildings, they dont show up on the mini map?? I have windows 10, thanks
Another idea would be if you could maybe load one of the default islands and then do whats needed to change it, other than trying to recreate the island you have which isnt easy, where the water is from sea to ground, on the beach for instance is a place you cant change on the game, if not the islands then placement water in/out beds so we can place them where they are on our island map that were using in the game (I dont no what there called sorry). And let us place an airport as well maybe. This will give us a guide at least to have the island how we want it, just an idea
This is a pretty early build of a free tool, that hasn't had a new dev log released since May 10th, made during the spare time of someone who has a job and has been dealing with a wrist injury since early July.
I'm sure all that is planned, assuming the project hasn't been abandoned since they're a person with a life.
Wow, you have a stick up your arse dont you, I only asked and gave some ideas, I wasnt being mean or telling the person who made this, what to do and what not to do, dont see why there was a reason for you to be so rude about it, do you think everyone is psychic do you?? like I know when someone in the world iv never met gets and injury?? Life happens and I do understand this, other people have commented asking questions and given ideas, they havent got stick from you, so why am I so special to receive stick from you over the same thing?? If its been abandoned then fair enough but there was no need for your reply
I love this! Its so great and helpful! A few suggestions if thats okay. Im sure theres plenty you're working on, but things I'd most like to see is the ability to zoom out a lot more to get a better overview. And also the ability to define the boundry between the grass and the sand. Thanks so much for all the hard work

i love ittttttttttttttt
I think a great feature in the future would be to add trees. Also, bridges and inclines in different directions would also be great!
you can rotate inclines / bridges already using q and e :)

I had the same problem as you but mine went to the upper left. I have already filled out a bug report for this, hopefully he will have time to fix it.

Any news on a new release update? If the developer can no longer maintain then it would be awesome if the code was published as open source.
You also can save multiple island-designs on your pc or have an extta savety-location for your save:
After saving you will find the path:
C:\Users\Besitzer\AppData\LocalLow\bobacupcake\IslandPlanner\saves

Is the 0.3 the most recent version?
yep!
pleaseee can we get an ios version soon?
i downloaded on my mac, but i opening it nothing pops up. the app has no response . is it the app cant support new mac update or what? plz help!
Is it possible to raise a cliff to the highest level? I'm thinking of stacking village houses like theater seats in front of the sea.
Yes it is possible! but in the actual animal crossing game you aren't aloud to put stuff on top of the highest level, or even be on there!
Can anyone tell me how to delete fences and cliffs?
Right mouse to remove objects or lower cliffs!
I can't delete cliffs once I place it on the ground, I'm pretty sure it's a bug, otherwise everything else works fine~
I've downlaoded it for windows but am confused how to run the file?
Click the IslandPlanner file, extract all, and then you should be able to run it (it should have an icon now)

im really struggling on how to download this on my pc? can anyone help
same here
ask how the hell did I save to see why I made my island save, I opened it to see and only numbers and more came out of it
(Im on phone) How do I zoom out? I cannot zoom out for some reason whatsoever, but the graphics are great.Good Game anywho.It would be great if the grid on the mini map matched the 6x7 map grid in game.
i think that a nice touch would be to ad flowers because i am leaving 1 spot for flowers around my fence thank you it would be appricated

This is amazingly helpful. My only suggestion would be a stronger zoom out tool!

How do you quit the app? I had to force quit
me too

I tried to make a 1:1 of my island, but things were off. Example
In game: the Tailor shop is up 8 and 1 to the right of the Nook shop, 3 down from a cliff, and 4 left of the Plaza
In program: the Tailor shop is up 7 and 1 to the right of the Nook shop, 5 down from a cliff, and 5 left of the Plaza
I can still make what I need, but it messes with me.
THIS IS ICONIC! i was hoping something like this was out there. thank god because doing it on paper doesnt work
UNDO button?
anyone notice that if you press B a dancing bob appears?
I made an account to like this comment
I wish there was a piece of software to convert 2D to 3D
If i download this is there a way to transfer my already made island to the game.
No
Ok thanks
I just can't run the progress:(
Is there anything wrong with my flash?
If you're using Chrome, look at your URL bar and click on "Site Settings", then look for "Flash" and allow it. Refresh then you're good.
for anyone thinking on supporting this project, just notice the log, its not active for 2 months or more
a thank you contribution is another thing , but this feels like an abandonware
it's been rough for the developer too as seen in this thread https://twitter.com/bobacupcake/status/1276308963575791617?s=20
how do I delete this program from my computer.
Suggest having a pan option where holding down spacebar toggles the ability to pan while mouse-clicking similar to Photoshop and Illustrator.
