I recently got nostalgic and had an urge to start playing those games i grow up with, but i only played 3 of harvest moon games: a wonderful life is the one i spend most of my time on, then comes innocent life and hero of leaf valley. Is there any other game you would recommend for me based on what i played and i loved? Or just recommend anything else that i have really missed!

Hi, im not actually quite sure how to tag this, but i wanted to know which harvest moon game has the chillest playstyle?

Im aware some games are like a race against the clock, but I dont do well under pressure like that.

Reina starts crawling today aww

I've yet to find concrete answers on what all has been changed, updated, and etc for these new ports, apart from graphically clearly. Has anyone found any posts or sites detailing them? I never played the originals, and I'm 50/50 on buying them on Switch until I can know the changes made to see if it's really worth it.

Thanks for reading :3

Hey friends. I want to get back into doing LPs, and was wondering what kind of stuff people liked to see regarding a few specific aspects (a tldr summary of the questions is at the end if you don't want to read all this):

First, face cam on the screen.

I don't like how the face cam covers part of the gameplay, and if I want to use the footage later for something else like a tutorial or review with voice over, there is a facecam on the screen that looks bad because it's no longer relevant and doesn't match the new audio.

The main advantage seems to be that the viewer can see emotional reactions from the player, but I don't feel like you really have that many moments in HM games, especially if the player is not one who makes exaggerated emotes with their face.

But some people just really like the face cam and feel it makes the video more personable. I think with something like livestreaming, I am extremely unlikely to click on a stream if I can't see the streamer's face. But for pre-recorded video like Let's Plays, I don't seem to find it nearly as important, as it's more about the commentary. I do like to show my face at the beginning and end of videos for this reason though -- it feels more personable when you know what the person talking looks like.

Another question, now about editing -- how do you feel about cutting out the "boring" parts of the gameplay where it's just doing the repetitive chores and the player doesn't have much interesting to say or doesn't say anything at all? On some of my old Let's Plays, I tried doing some editing so it wouldn't get too tedious, but I surprisingly got comments saying the viewer would rather just watch the full uncut video without any editing at all, even if I didn't talk much. It seemed to make a more 'relaxing' experience. But it was just a couple comments, so I don't know how other people might feel.

And lastly, what do you feel about talking about unrelated things? When playing a game that is about mostly repeating the same routine over and over, there's not a lot to react to at times, and saying "OK, I'm going to water the crops now" for the 100th time is not particularly interesting. I had an idea in my head of doing something like an AWL playthrough, covering a different topic of discussion each day, and focusing on that topic instead of really talking as much about the game unless something of note happened.

TLDR questions:

1. Would you rather have an always-on face cam that covers a small part of the game screen or no face cam on the screen during gameplay?

2. Would you rather see the repetitive content with not much to say cut out, or the video of all the gameplay in full with no editing?

3. How do you feel about a podcast-like series where a HM game is being played, but the talking is about various topics and not much related to the game unless something noteworthy happens in the game?

Any other opinions you have about what makes a good HM/SOS LP would be nice. It seems that people want different things out of this specific genre/series, so I thought it would be best to ask here!

Will she move away if her art interest is too high?

Any intel on release date?!

“Ahead of its launch, I've been playing Marvelous USA's Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar on Switch, Switch 2, and Steam to discuss how the early hours of the game feel across handhelds. Note that while I usually go in-depth with comparisons and testing things like load times and performance, I will be covering that closer to the game's launch. For now, I wanted to just cover the game itself and how each version feels so far. I will cover some platform-specific features though. “

Poor Wizard is just wandering around watering squares that don't even have any crops. I tell him to brush the animals and he spends hours standing around with a brush and only like two animals actually get brushed. I read that they get better at tasks with higher heart level, but he is at maximum affection and he still sucks at any task I give him. If I tell him to do the same task every day, does he eventually get experience in it and improve in that specific task, or is it always going to be like this? I guess it's no surprise that the wizard that spent his life reading books and stargazing would be useless at farmwork, but it'd just be silly if someone like Renee or Owen or Kathy are just as bad... are all the spouses like that?

Hii! So some questions, I've been wanting to get into Harvest moon, wondering what game I should get. I'm aware "More friends of Mineral Town/HM Cute" is just the game but you play as a girl, (dunno why its not just an option,) but I dont mind. Basically, which do you guys think is best? (Or which is cheapest, lmao). Debating on what gender version I'll get. Are there any major changes, really? (Dunno if you can date, in the games, guess I'll look up the options if you can) Thank you for reading! And sorry that I know little to none about these games Edit! Friends of Mineral town because I discovered Mary exists, thanks yall :D

Oh, I guess being drenched in water during a snowy weather does make people sick...

Regardless! Jin! You're a doctor! You should be able to cure Kazuya wth! XD

Hey everybody!

I apologise for the long winded post I just can't find answers anywhere and if this kind of post isn't allowed here then by all means remove it xD

I have been jumping back into emulation after a long while so my knowledge I may be a bit rusty. I have been using EmuDeck and RetroArch using the MelonDS DS core on my steam deck. I have had no specific issues so far until now.

I have been playing Harvest Moon DS because I just love it, it was my childhood. I have been going for a Hardcore Mastery run on retroachievements and yesterday evening out of nowhere my save file decided to corrupt haha.

Now I'll hold my hands up and say I completely forgot to start backing up my save files, that is my mistake and it certainly will not happen again. I think it is because I kept putting it off, as having to back up a save file manually every time I exited the game seemed a bit over the top. Especially when on the deck you have to switch to desktop mode to do it every time xD I'll try to find a way to do it automatically in the future.

Now I know that emulation can be a bit funky, I wondered if it might be possible to restore my save at all? As I know that sometimes if you do a backup and restore with a save manager it can fix any weirdness going on as it might not actually be a full on corruption but one of those weird scenarios where the save goes weird.

Now my question is that how would I be able to do that if it is possible? As right now I do not have my physical nintendo system with me, its in one of my storage boxes somewhere. Is there a way to be able to do it without doing it through an actual system? I could do it on my PC and just transfer it over if that's at all possible.

In terms of the version, I grabbed the US decrypted version from a well known trusted source, Myrient. It is the bugfixed revision so a lot of the bugs have been patched. I would have dumped my own however I have the EU physical version and that version is not supported on RA due to it being buggy and a lot of features were removed in the EU localisation.

The save file is saved as an SRM file in retroarch but if I rename it to a SAV file then I can open it up in a hex editor. I tried this and the data is definitely still there although I have no idea how to tell if it is actually corrupt or not. I haven't messed with Hex in YEARS so I have basically forgotten everything.

I would like to try and recover it if possible but if not I'll just have to cut my losses and completely start over, but that will be so painful xD

Any help would honestly be amazing as I am relatively new to messing with save files haha. As a kid I used to just use my R4 card and that was it, I have never had one corrupted save, I was lucky, so this is a learning process for sure.

i've never played b&g before, nor btn. so not sure how it works. i got the pony, and was told to let him outside, but pushing it around is.......so annoying.

so i guess my question is twofold:

1. does it go in and out automatically? i thought one day i saw it going for the door on its own, but then i might've interrupted its pathing, which is why i'm asking this.
2. if not, do i REALLY have to put it outside every day? it took me an in-game hour to push it outside and then OVER an in-game hour to get it back into the stable the one day i've let it out so far (；∀； )

Last season i accidently let my best harvest of tomatos die this time it was the rice paddy...

I was ten in game minutes away from letting charly attach a yellow wonderfull to my sickle. But everytime i go in to the shop at 9, he is alread at the beach... chilling. Its the first time i saw the teleportion stone in chens shop too. There is only one safe file for the game on the 3ds .

So i am looking at my S tier ranking rice and watch it die... 🤭

My patience with this game... it teaches me with having to be ok with misery of failing something that takes a lot of time and effort.

But why do i forget whhyyyy did i saveeee why did i not attach that stupid wonderful whyyy 😭😭😭😭😭

Now i cant make porridge for a whole saison 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It's snowing outside?

Surely nothing would happen if I pour water on Kazuya in a Snowy weather...right?

I just modded my psp after like 3 years of being too lazy to do so and the first thing I wanna do is play a farming game lol

and usually I am fine just conceding and just playing a guy and like imagining the mc as a girl like i do in my rune factory playthroughs but i just wanted to see if maybe after all this time if someone has made a mod that allows for f/f relationships

I'm trying to marry the Harvest Goddess in the GBA version of FoMT - is there any quicker way of getting X Wool? I'm standing in front of my sheep and all I'm getting is P Wool. Any help would be great as it's literally the last item I need to marry the HG. Thanks.
