Yeah, it only works for games with high replay value, or when they lock off the story etc. after a certain point like Wasteland 2 (though even that wasn't great).

Jesto posted:Hey, a new update. I've been watching his progress for a long time and I'm glad that he's limiting the scope of what he is doing. It makes goals achievable and a timeline for release possible. If you get mired in making everything perfect you'll never get anything done. I want to play this, but I want it to be a finished product. Though what I also very much want is for modders to dig their claws into this and start making things that one person alone could never achieve.

More house upgrades seems like the perfect thing for post-release updates.

It doesn't need to mimic everything from Harvest moon, especially useless stuff like "your house that you go into for ten seconds is bigger!!!" Screen real estate etc, house looks good. Good house.

I don't see the problem. Getting tired of half-assed-at-release games because they pushed it out for impatient schmucks.

I like that he's addressing one of the only real problems I had with the original HM. Were once you got married your wife changed sprite to a generic woman with pallette swapped hair who sometimes gave you fish or something but that was really it.

Has CA mentioned anything about distribution yet? I'm assuming since the game is being published by Chucklefuck it's going to be on Steam at least.

Does anyone know if there will be dairy functionality, or other second-stage processing? Not just selling milk but turning milk into butter and cheese; not just selling sheared wool but spinning wool into yarn; etc.

IIRC Stardew Valley was already on Greenlight when it got picked up by Chucklefish and this was just after Steam implemented the rule where once you're on Greenlight you HAVE to get through via Greenlight. Worry not, though. I just double checked and, yes, Stardew Valley has been greenlit already. So Steam release is a guarantee.

Procedural generation will add much more repeatability but it isn't looking like the game will be short on content. I wouldn't be too worried at this point. It's also the sort of thing that could be revisited in a later patch with extra levels for those that want to delve deeper

It looks like randomly generated mines are gone in favor of pre-built mines? Or there's just some things that are less randomly generated? I'm not sure.
|
I like Procedural Generation in some games, but in others it gets really old after a point. It's like seeing the exact same lego blocks arranged differently time and time again. Sometimes structured content is the way to go.

From the sound of it it doesn't seem like the mines themselves are no longer randomly generated, just some of their contents.

A mini-update appears! Dev update #27 ------------------------------ Just checking in to let you know I’m still here! Nothing new to report, I’m just systematically going through everything and making sure it’s release-ready. I don’t have a lot to share this time, but here’s something… new dialogue boxes:  “Better get out there and do some treasure hunting, huh?  I know fiddling with the dialogue boxes might not seem necessary… but the old boxes were truly messed up, and despite lots of tweaking they continued to give me problems. I decided that a complete redo would save me time. While redoing them I went ahead and made them look a little snazzier with the wood panel and name scroll. I’m going to get back to work… thanks for reading! ------------------------------ Sounds like everything's going pretty well. Or at least I hope.

Releasing half-tested games is what gets us an unfriendly UI and other weird issues with Harvest Moon games. I'm cool with the polishing.

On the other hand, Harvest Moon also has fairly minimalist text boxes. These look unnecessarily large to accommodate/match the font. I'm no stranger to extremely custom typefaces so I can't criticize too much, but I do hope they'll have a "simple" option, too.

I think it looks ok, but it's position in the text box could use some tweaking, it's very close to the top and left sides.

The font probably looks better in it's actual standard resolution, not a cropped, zoomed in image.
