It's also probably the most personal so it's reassuring to know it's going down so well. It lets me know I'm on the right track with my personality + gaming combination :) A blog sounds like a great idea - they are a lot of fun to cretae and even if you're not interested in chasing a readership, I'm sure you'll still enjoy it. You'll certainly have one reader here :) There's another podcast on NiGHTS tomorrow, including more on Nightopians! It does seem pretty popular, yes!

I'm currently thinking about making my own blog where, along other things, I could post my thoughts on videogames, and Nintendo in general. Maybe I'll invite you there if I do have one :) The Nightopians sound like a great concept, and I sure hope they make it into "Journey of Dreams". Things like that make me happy to be interested in videogame design/development. Isn't this your most popular post? :) See you around!

For example, if you killed too many then they would run away scared, but if you hatched their eggs and killed enemies they would sing and follow you around. Their moods also affected the music, which remains to this day one of the most amazing ideas implemented in a game. The weather idea sounds plausible and perhaps even the only way to incorporate it properly. I'm not sure the weather would have any strong impact other than aesthetic purposes - you shouldn't be slower in the rain, for example - but it's still a cool feature I think would work best in Animal Crossing, as you rightly suggest. Diamond and Pearl are two games I cannot wait for, along with Battle Revolution. Please do share your thoughts on it when it's released there - we Europeans currently have no confirmed date, and it wasn't in Nintendo's Quarter 2 release schedule - so I'll be very eager to read what you think about it!

The idea has been put on the table a numer of times for a game like Animal Crossing Wii, so it seems plausible. All in all, this game keeps sounding better... I haven't played the original, so I don't know who the "Nightopians" are. In other things... I've been reading a lot about Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and even though I don't want to spoil myself, I'm getting really excited. Just a few weeks away from the release here :D Well, if they really are using info from the Forecast Channel, I can only picture this: On a rainy day in your real-life town, we would have rain in-game, or snow, or a sunny day.
