I have been mega stoked for this since the day I found it waaaaaay back when greenlight started. I hear it's getting pretty close to breaking into the greenlight top 100?

Oh god it's like someone took everything good about Harvest Moon and made it into a new game. He should make a kickstarter or something, he deserves my money more than I do.
He could but he kind of doesn't really need to at this point, he's already got Greenlit on Steam so it is definitely coming out on there when it's done.

A Kickstarter would probably let him work full time on it if he isn't already, but sometimes it's gotta be nice to not have to deal with the demands of a huge Kickstarter base if you don't really need the seed money to finish your game. And it's also true that generally game development grinds to an absolute halt during a Kickstarter because you often need to devote a lot of time to answering questions and dealing with getting the word out and all that other poo poo.

Ape is probably working on this part time too, unless his publisher gave him an advance or something. He could probably kickstart the game but at this point, since it's already greenlit he's pretty much guaranteed to make mad cash once it comes out. This kind of game tends to attract a lot of people.

Reading through some of the comments on the dev site, apparently all of the love interests are available regardless of the player's sex. Pretty neat to see that in a Harvest Moon-esque game; I don't think any of the proper titles have ever included that. Or even any non-HM farming sim titles, for that matter.
Yeah someone brought it up while the game was being greenlit and Ape made that change just about immediately, I think he said he just hadn't considered it until someone pointed it out.

He also hasn't crowdfunded it so either he's working on it part time or he has the means to afford to work on it full time. I suppose chucklefish could probably be fronting dev costs.

It's also already greenlit. It was greenlit like a year ago.

But man, having a website and a goddamn forum is a pain in the rear end if you don't want to deal with it. I wouldn't want to have to be responsible for modding my own forum, especially for one of these sandbox games that seems to attract legions of tweens.

This sort of feature has been around since the NES/SNES days and it is very convenient so I hope that it is part of the game too. I mostly use it because I can read the scrolling text faster than it scrolls.

Well the game is going to continue to be worked on so if it's not a feature you can totally just tweet at the dev or something and ask for it.

Hell, do it right now he's probably still working on poo poo leading up to release on Friday.

You know, with Factorio on Steam today and this coming out tomorrow, I never before realized how much I want to combine the two. Automate farming and slowly grow the output with a combination of early manual labor that slowly gets automated away as you focus on more and more complex systems over time.

Keep your corporate job-destroying factories out of my pastoral life simulator :catstare:

So I am a huge harvest moon fan and I would love to buy this game but I probably spend more time playing games on my various handhelds than I do on pc.

Does this game have any features that really set it apart from the hm series, the level of customisation is definitely a selling point, does it have any kind of automation to speak of?

I mean I'll almost definitely pick it up anyway if it is affordable I just want to try and justify my decision beforehand.

You can apparently install sprinkler systems???

An hour before I leave for work today, on the only second shift I've had to cover in a year. :shepspends: Gonna toss it on the tablet before I jet and hope the back half of the shift is nice and quiet.

I tried watching some streaming to sate my agricultural lust, but Bexyish was the only one I could stand. Early beta tester with like 400 hours in the game, so she knew what she was doing. Everyone else just annoyed me too much in some way. "Why are you planting in that pattern!? You're wasting water and effort! WHY DID YOU PLANT ONLY 7 CROPS IN A DIAGONAL LINE."

If you can walk on plants then you just go for the squares, but if you cant the optimal planting pattern in the original Harvest Moon was the fat C. I was fine with wasting that last seed because I didn't want a single plant waiting around while I watered it up after harvesting all the ones around it.

That's assuming all plants will go in a 3x3 square but it looks like one seed is one square in Stardew so you can really just go nuts.
