I love the Harvest Moon games and I am gonna start my own when I buy the Rural Farms resource pack. I do though, want to make a villain; known as the Entity of Wither. He is depicted as a scrawny man (purple ish skin) and his head is covered completely in bandages except for some hair that hangs out. All that I think is... Is this a good idea? I want a story between the MC and the Entity. Heres a basic plot for more info: The town has been abandoned since plants have withered and water isnt too clean. All except one family has stayed behind due to always living there. You decided to move to this town and buy the farm land. As you grow more crops and make more money, more villagers move into town and the town will look more healthy. As you can guess, the Entity had withered the town in the past. **SPOILER** When the whole town has returned, the Entity will have a discussion with you about how for everything destroyed, something is made and vice versa. He will then give the player a rare tool and will vanish (OR) will stay in the village as a disguised villager (Which ever I decide) Is a villain a good idea for this style game?

HARVEST MOON: ONCE UPON A CLOVER "If you close your eyes, you can hear the hushed murmurs of Wind and Water, Of tinkling bells and faraway lowing cows. If you open the window to your soul, just a little, You might find a bit of that Wonderland you're looking for. It is not around you. It is in you." Brief Summary Once upon a time, man was ignorant about the presence of magical creatures, until the night on which the supernatural announced their existence to the humans on international live broadcast. This historical event is dubbed as the Revelation. Since then, man and magical beings had to learn to co-exist, and they did in a generally peaceful manner for a hundred years. The Humans and the supernatural kind, who are called the Fairfolk, had separate territories and cultures. The Humans feared their magic and stayed away as much as they could. The Fairfolk, in turn, felt too dignified to mingle with mere mortals and kept to themselves. The two races always remained like two sides of a river, close, but never touching. Somewhere, a child of the Fairfolk, in guise of a white rabbit, crossed the line between the races into Human lands. He is met with a Human child. So begins a strange friendship between Child and Rabbit. Rabbit tells stories of his old home, a faraway farm so beautiful and magical, it had to be hidden so even most Fairfolk could not find it. One could lie down on a bed of clover and hear things only ancient trees and sighing flowers can hear. One can drift into the clouds, into Wonderland. "Promise me you will go there, one day." It is only after a few days of disappearance that the news of Rabbit's death reaches the Child's ears. Since then, safety laws are passed down to prevent humans and Fairfolk from ever crossing paths again. Ten years pass in the blink of an eye. You, the protagonist, brave the void between these two races to venture into a quaint town of the Fairfolk territory, Kiar'hn. With nothing but a promise to keep and the youthful carelessness of throwing caution to the winds, you settle down at Clover Farm and buckle in for the challenges that come in your way. Characters Planned Features Different kinds of animals and livestock, such as little foxes, flying pigs and fairy cows Four new elemental priestesses who will grant skills and other battle aids Full moon cycles with extra action at midnight. New festivals, as well as old festivals. I want to bring back the Egg Festival from the original SNES HM, as well as bring in Omatsuri. Fishing, dating, harvesting, item gathering, wood chopping, shopping, spa, mining, monster fighting, the usual A shop/auction business run by the player. WIP/Implemented: Gender options of male and female Different kinds of villagers, and date-able characters that can join your party and help you at battle and farming. 112 days calendar with seasons and time system Custom HUDS for menus Randomized weather effects + weather forecast Changeable furniture/ clothing Different times and places in a fusion. A crop system! I really need comments and critiques on this. Any interesting ideas for characters, features, etc that you always wanted to see implemented in a HM game would be very appreciated. Thank you very much for your attention, and have a cookie \(; w ; ) Or a screenshot! UPDATED (18/1) Recruiting folkses!!! I need one (or several) parallax mappers who can make nice forests and a town, as well as artists for characters and cutscenes. Mappers Preferably, I could use someone who knows the basics of fog scripts and animated parallax water scripts, for the forests. For the town, I need someone who can put together the town's structure without it feeling too cluttered, that's all! All resources will be provided by me. Artists Thanks to my awful drawing, I need MALE PORTRAIT ARTISTS, as well as people who can draw and colour simple background scenery. Title, logo, menu or HUD artists are also extremely welcome. Additional: Say, if any of you out there has the free time to make a little banner for this game... ;w; UPDATE (18/01/2014) Just a note to say Happy New Year to all you folks! Have a great year ahead of you, mates. On another note, meet Yinn! On updates about the snail progress of my game, I have started recently to make some small festivals and events, as well as unraveling some of the relationship system. As usual, I'll be updating when I can.

Hunter's Moon - The Idea Hey guys! So, I've been making RPG Maker games since XP has come out. Although I've never published anything because I never really thought it'd be worth anyone's time. Well now I have an amazing Idea, that I would love to make a harvest moon/rune factory type of game. I think whoever is a fan of these games would really enjoy something like this. It will be more Rune Factory based though. What I mean by that is basically, there will be leveling up, there will be dungeons, monsters to fight. (Although animals that you would keep would just be animals, not monsters.) It will be simple, and fun (hopefully). The thing is though, I definitely can't do all of this by myself, and I can't pay anyone to help me, but hopefully I get some volunteers that would like to help me with the upcoming systems, such as weather systems (When it rains on certain days and then doesn't), Festivals, and of course cooking systems, fishing, mining, crafting, forgery, medicine, etc. I've already started some mapping, and I do consider myself a decent mapper. I will be showing later on what the maps will look like, but I guarantee everyone that I will be working very hard on this stuff. . I want to focus more though, on how things are going to work first, and then mapping and all the pretty decadent stuff should be last. I mean, mapping is important, but you could have glorious maps and a shitty system right? On a side note, I've been working on another game called Iris. I got a lot of good comments for my mapping, I'm just too busy at this very moment to show anyone anything from it. But I do have pictures I can send of my mapping if anyone needs anything certified that I'm not just blowing air out of my butt. Anyway, Here is the plot that I've conjured up, and the backgrounds of the characters. This isn't finished yet and some things are a little vague. But this was all typed up on word perfect for ideas. So please excuse the lack of information for some things. I'm also looking for future voice actors, so if anyone knows of anyone who knows how to do this, I would be thrilled to know. But they must have these requirements: -A decent microphone (to avoid static and sorts) -Good acting skills -Knows the characters personality well -Will not bail on me at the very last minute before things are finished! (it's happened) There will be 5 characters to voice in total, including the 1 main character, along with the 4 bachelorettes. The faces were all illustrated using the Character Machine created by Erangot. The maps will be made by using Celiana and Lunaria's tileset, with some of Yanfly's scripts. If there is anyone I've forgotten to credit that have things that they see belongs in my game, please let me know so that I can add/credit you all . Story: A Hunter's Moon is arising, it is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. It's the perfect time where it is clear enough to see out in the dark, making it ideal for hunter's to see better at night.
