Title: Harvest Moon-ish Type Game
Post by: EightSlicesOfPie on February 22, 2004, 02:40:52 AM

Name suggestions wanted!!!

Yeah, its like HM. You inherit a farm from your dad, who died recently. You run the farm, get married, jus' liked HM. :)

FEATURES:

Farming (duh!)
Complete Time System
Fishing
Hour & Minutes appear in the corner
You can be a waiter at the inn or pub to get extra money!
You can type in cheats!
Lottery
Slot Machines
CMS
Bank
Interest in Bank Account
Breeding
Mini-Game in which you have to pull up a certain amount of crops in a certain amount of time to please the Mayor! :P
Actual CONVERSATIONS with NPCs! Not that boring...

Man 1: "How are you doing?"
*hero walks*
Man 2: "This is [Insert Town Name] Town!"

Seasons
Items that only work in certain seasons.
Animal Racing
Dating
Breakable items (ex. if you use the hoe *farming tool, you perverts out there :P* too much, it'll break and you'll have to buy a new one
Cell Phone

Yes, it will all be accomplished; I know how to do it all. ^^; I'll show some screens as once as I finish programming all these features, and then I'll make maps. :P

hmmm... I dunno... I never really liked that kind of RPGs.


Edit: I never really understood why sombody would make a farm game, I've been to a farm and I certainly wasn't inspired, LOL.

I've played Harvest moon, and i have to say it's a quite neat game. I do think however its copying too much off of harvest moon. If you we're to change the storyline (Father dies etc.)?

Or maybe you can just call it "Harvest Moon Advanced" or something like that. Sounds neat thought ^^

I say...Keep it going!

Maybe you could throw in like fighting with bulls and wolves, bears and stuff like that. Wolves could be trying to eat the live stock and such. Somtimes farmers have to fight off the wildlife you know.

The cool thing about Harvest Moon was not the farming. It was the fact that it was a lot more of a "life sim" then most games are. You play as a character that is part of a town, and you work with others to achieve your goals of getting a better house, getting married, improving your farm, helping others, and making a ton of cash. It is all good fun.

I guess that is why I never could get into it.

Post by: EightSlicesOfPie on February 22, 2004, 03:37:41 PM

Thanks for the positive feedback, all! :) But I've run into a problem: I can't find a good CMS chip. Can anyone help?

Title:
Post by: Fade on February 22, 2004, 05:00:32 PM

I'd probably be simple and stupid.

Search it up on Google Pictures. XD

Post by: charaman on February 22, 2004, 05:03:34 PM

...

Title:
Post by: Fade on February 22, 2004, 05:07:47 PM

1. I don't even know what CMS means.
2. I'm 12 bloody years old.
3. Someone should put up a CMS chipset then!

Title:
Post by: charaman on February 22, 2004, 05:09:17 PM

1. i dont know what CMS means either
2. im 14
3. i agree

Post by: Fade on February 22, 2004, 05:13:59 PM

Rofl Yeh, well atleast the game sounds good and its well on it's way. Maybe searching on every search engine? Asking some experts here on these forums? Could help. I'm sure atleast one person knows of a CMS chipset.

I think CMS means Character map set... o.o"

Title:
Post by: charaman on February 22, 2004, 05:18:13 PM

i serached the complete resouces. none were there

Post by: SaiKar on February 22, 2004, 05:46:04 PM

CMS - Custom Menu System. Teleports the hero to a special map designed to look like a menu. Used by people that want their own menu commands such as "change party".

People who use CMSs often use a CBS (Custom Battle System) as well.

Woah, huh, okay. Umm...I think i'll take this one step at a time... Complicated XD

Title:
Post by: SaiKar on February 22, 2004, 07:32:01 PM

It IS complicated, but if you are new at programming you do not need to worry about CMS or CBS stuff. Just focus on figuring how to use events.

Title:
Post by: charaman on February 22, 2004, 08:09:50 PM

i finally learned how to make menu events, and a CMs would be cool. where can i get a chipset?

Title:
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on February 22, 2004, 08:19:07 PM

Well for CMS I have made I did my own chipset, but they're some around

I love the Harvest Moon games! They take time! Have anyone played Animal Crossing?! That game is so "Bad" (as in exrtemely good) I passed it in one year (exactly the time you supposed to pass it, Unless you cheated). But I like HM games,I could prob play yours

Title:
Post by: SaiKar on February 22, 2004, 08:45:14 PM

I did not like Animal Crossing because it relied too much on sending hard-to-tyle letters and the rewards were pretty boring. It was like Harvest Moon only without the dating and work aspects.

Plus, the real-time thing was annoying. It was a good game to play every day because things changed every day, but after you play for like 15 minutes there is nothing to do until tomorrow. Where HM you could play as long as you wanted and keep doing new things every game-day.

Post by: Fade on February 22, 2004, 08:47:52 PM

Well i'm taking a look at those tutorials..Not yet, soon. It looks like a b*tch to learn it. I hope its more simple then i think.

Wont me to write charecters??? i got a few ideas in my skull.
Even if it's like Kai(only in town in summer time) or an animle dude like Kappa, i'll still be glad to make charecters.
