Giant Chess Board Island Scene No Drawing Required

When I was playing Animal Crossing before, I always wanted to create a large-scale scene like this where the ground serves as a game board and villagers can move around on it. Back then, the pattern sheet grid design limits meant I could only make a small section and never got to do it properly. Since all the Miis on my island have a classical Chinese aesthetic, it's a bit of a shame that the interactive furniture with higher usage rates tends to be in wood tones. This scene happened to make good use of black-and-white tables and chairs (the tables are also round, so they blend naturally into the game board), and I also placed some black-and-white benches and street lamps nearby. The whole thing ended up feeling like an open-air café in a theme park — I really love watching the residents rest and chat here! For the game board floor tiles, you can use the Treasure stamp tool — roadside stones (or Mars rocks should work too) — pull the saturation down and brighten the value slightly — then draw a grid with straight lines. Make two black-and-white spheres and shrink them down to the size of game pieces, and they'll look just like stones placed naturally on the intersections.
