 'bout time a game in this genre showed up somewhere other than a console or handheld. Here's the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot7uXNQskhs Soundtrack available here for $4.99 https://www.humblebundle.com/widget/v2/product/stardew_valley_ost/7jlew7UWdF Stardew Valley now available on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/413150   What is it? If you have played any Harvest Moon game for the SNES or GBA, chances are Stardew Valley looks immediately identifiable. You end up in ownership of a farm and it's up to you to make something of it while accomplishing various other goals. So it's Farmville.  No, Farmville is a microtransaction click timewaster. In Harvest Moon-style games, you have a certain amount of time each in-game day to devote to whatever you want to do. These activities include:quote:Turn your overgrown field into a lively farm! Gather resources and use them to build a variety of farm buildings. You'll have plenty of space to set up your farm just how you like. So what does it look like? Stardew Valley Soundtrack Examples - 15 minutes of in-game music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUalhmz12nc More videos can be found on the channel here, but they may be significantly outdated. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmazingApes/videos Images               Gifting Guide Met posted:I got tired of bouncing around the wiki.

In Stardew Valley you can even marry a boy if you're a boy, or a girl if you're a girl. Stardew doesn't discriminate, unlike some other games named after celestial bodies.]

The new interface system he's added in looks much better to use and the forest nuking looks oh so satisfying. Reading some of the Greenlight comments makes me want to murder people with the amount of folk claiming its basically ripped everything from Minecraft/Terraria.

These games aren't normally my cup of tea, but my girlfriend is all over this stuff. As long as co-op is a thing then we'll probably both be getting it. Gave it a vote on Greenlight regardless since it's obvious the guy is putting a lot of effort in to this.

I'd like a game like this is if I could have children or a child and have them take over the farm when I die and the whole thing starts over again. Or, perhaps more accurately, everything ages and slowly changes over time. Townspeople have children, grow old, and die, their children take their place. And so on.

I always wanted to play Animal Crossing, but it's not available for pc. I bought Scribblenauts when it came out for pc, finally we get some of this console-y goodness direct to Steam. I'll probably buy this the day it comes out.

Tiyuri posted:We’ve not really discussed a next project yet but I’ve wanted to do a multiplayer harvest moon/rune factory style game for a while.

Oh god, it's so beautiful. My dreams of the simple days of Harvest Moon might be coming back.Ray and Shirley posted:I'd like a game like this is if I could have children or a child and have them take over the farm when I die and the whole thing starts over again.

I've always wanted this in a HM game (a farmsim one, not some bullshit rpg dungeon crawler one), but it's certainly not a dealbreaker to the glory of the original few titles (SNES & PSX, the second GCN one).

My feelings about this were pretty tepid initially, but now I'm legitimately excited. It takes a lot to actually get me to want a game on PC. Congrats OP! It's all thanks to your excellent write/hype-up!

Looks interesting, but I hope the combat sections are optional, or at least not a major focus. I never much liked it when Harvest Moon stopped being about farming and was more about things that weren't farming. I just want to grow peas, carrots, and potatoes.

Can't help but wonder if Tiy wants to help them get published on Steam, like they did for Yeti Trunk & Wanderlust. Then maybe they can collaborate on a sequel.

Co-op Harvest Moon... will we be able to tag-team the men/women in town? Also I love Harvest Moon and Rune Factory style games so this is good news. The art could do some improvement, though.

I adore harvest moon, but when it switched to the less than memorable PS2 games and became an anime slugfest with rune factory on the DS I lost interest. I really do wish that combat wasn't a necessity in the newer HM games now though. That said, I will most likely buy this the second it comes out despite my reservations.

This looks great, voted it up on Greenlight. I have always tried to like this sort of game, but the limitations and opacity always put me off - but this one looks to be less obtuse. The wife loves Rune Factory, so she will surely love this one. Thanks for bringing our attention to it!

I kind of wish that the Rune Factory aspects of the game were cut out just because it seems like a lot of work to make combat in these games not an atrocious chore, not to mention the work required to add diversity in the form of combat items/monsters that could have been used to improve other aspects of the game. I'll still be getting it though because Natsume has really dropped the ball on making good harvest moon games and maybe this will be better.

Hopefully this will get some more attention on Greenlight and ConcernedApe will be inspired to create like the wind. It's incredibly impressive what he's done just as a single dude.

I like that he's doing both the farming and combat elements but making them seemingly entirely optional. So if all you want to do is farm and raise animals you can do that. If you want to focus more on the dungeons and combat, it seems like you can do that too. It'd be neat for him to implement some unlockable in-game cheat modes too though for people who just wanna go all out and have fun in multiple replays. Things like infinite stamina, time freeze, etc. I'm sure these are things that could be done with cheat engine but I always appreciate games that build them into the game itself as unlockables. Oddly enough, I'm more inclined to replay games with features like this, especially console games. edit: I'm gonna be honest and say I probably won't give him that suggestion so if anyone else is making their own suggestion and agree with what I'm saying, feel free to add it to your posts.

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?

I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I hope it does things differently from Harvest Moon. While it's a great series, HM has these weird things that it always holds on to that holds it back.
