Animal Crossing Tier List Maker V2

Personal Project

First off, legal disclaimer! This is an unofficial project. I am not affiliated with Nintendo. Animal Crossing™ is a trademark of Nintendo.

With that out of the way, check out this neat little fan project neatly ranking each of the 413 villagers present in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! This app allows you to streamline the ranking process, being able to sort and take a nice longform screenshot to share around with your friends, all while being able to interact with a familiar UI layout seen in New Horizons! I originally made this project to provide an alternative for those clunky web-based tier makers, since they aren’t suited for ranking more than a few dozen items. I also love emulating UI from other games, so this was a no-brainer for me to make!

This project was created in the span of a long weekend, with an additional weekend of visual polish.

Responsibilities

I did all the programming and data entry, basically. Here are a few key features:

  • Created a custom loading sequence using Coroutines to yield for various events, such as generating tier lists and screenshots.

  • Developed a custom screenshot script that generates a new UI field suitable for long, vertical images.

  • Utilized ScriptableObjects to neatly contain all 413 villagers’ data and create generic behaviors using the dataset.

    • Yes it was very time consuming.

  • Created custom UI shaders to emulate the wobbling effect of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ dialogue boxes.
