Adding in a museum is genius. Scratching some of that Animal Crossing itch.

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.

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.

For some reason I haven't seen Feburary's Stardew Valley trailer. I want this. I need this. I'm gonna pick this up for a few buddies.

This is all true but I'm really just looking for a reason to throw money at this project. They don't have a donations page or anything.

Jesto posted:I'm really hoping that pigs aren't only for pork, because there's never any need to raise them. Maybe pigshit will be a great fertilizer to help plants grow, or maybe you can take them into the forests to sniff out truffles. Maybe happy piggies give better meat when you slaughter them.

I dunno, farmers have been keeping and treating livestock animals like beloved pets then killing, cooking, and eating them for centuries. Just the way things are. Then again, my grandpa grew up on a farm and had a pet sheep and now refuses to eat mutton.

Good news, you don't actually stab a cow through the heart! You cave their skulls in with a captive bolt pistol! edit: Someday I wouldn't mind seeing a harvest moon style game that takes the more visceral approach to farming, and has lovingly animated slaughtering and such.

We need a Harvest Moon game revolving around the American meat industry, complete with pig poo poo lagoons.

You can slaughter animals for food in Shepard's Crossing 2! In fact it's the best way to get a successful farm: Raise rabbits for meat to feed to your dogs that protect your sheep! With an added bonus that you can sell the rabbit pelts! I played that game too loving much.

It was funny how it managed to be even more batshit than RF3 despite looking kinda normal. That weird alcoholic duck strutting around amongst all the other ducks destined for the pot was kinda surreal. Now I wanna play it again but I'm not sure I could remember all the weird little micromanagement rules. E. just remembered that weird lady who forces marriage on you if you try to stay single,... regardless of your gender? Corridor fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Aug 5, 2013 |

Just watched the trailer that I somehow missed seeing earlier. Man, the music and the writing and the character profile arts are all terrible. It won't stop me sinking many many hours into the game as soon as it comes out, but drat I hope that poo poo gets some improvements before D-day.

If so, the character profile arts have been improved since then. That trailer is super outdated. It even has the old, not-snazzy character sprites.

Don't make that face at me! <> Yeah the profiles are visibly better, I'd forgotten about them when I watched the older trailer. I really hope the writing for NPC dialogues and stuff gets better too though. Charming or insane NPCs can really just elevate these kinds of games, RF2 and RF3 being case in point. I find the HMs up to Mineral Town to be a bit unplayable because of how drat boring the NPCs are, it wasn't until Forget-Me-Not Valley that I started to properly get into the franchise even though the games are a bit inferior. Oh god I'm such a sperg. I'll say something positive now. I like how there's a bit of a Terraria thing going on where you can mine poo poo away and change the terrain, and presumably gotta grow more trees if you cut all the original ones down.

There's a thread for this?! gently caress I am so pumped. It looks like everything I want in a Harvest Moon but without Natsume putting one good innovation in and taking one out like they do every single god drat game. No wonder it's taking so long to develop, considering how much stuff seems to be in it. I hope the characters are cool and have lots to say. Does anyone know whether you'll be able to plant crops during winter? I want to grow bok choy and broccoli!

Another Stardew update! Oh boy oh boy! http://stardewvalley.net/dev-update-10/ It talks about fishing and even includes a video! quote:
He talks about some other stuff too, like he's adding item quality that pretty much works the same way it does in Harvest Moon. And also apparently bees will produce different kinds of honey depending on what types of flowers are nearby, which is such a cool little detail.
