Ok I came up with a general Game Idea for a harvest moon game in my last thread.

And a few member thought it a great Idea to come up with a game outline that all Harvest Moon fans would enjoy and want to play for a good long time.

And what better way to do that then to get together and tell Natsume, what there customers want in there games!
This would make them seriously consider making the game.
But the problem is we need a large amount of people, to actually do this.

Being the harvest fans we are, We know what we want.
But there in lies the problem we need to come up with an outline that we can all
like and handle without going to the extremes.
(Think of the poor programmers)
gonk

My orginal Idea was to start off as a child (being raised by your grandfather, or father or whatever) and grow up in the village with the villages well he took care of the farm.
there will be events Among other things
I'm adding people to the list of helpers and project leaders.
( For times when I'm not around to ok things they will Pm with the peoples idea and request)
As people add there own Ideas I'll start asking what the really want and cut down on things that maybe a pain to get Natsume to shoot for, But i will keep a rough of ALL ideas on my home computer and send that to them, for refrence of there customers wants and demands to add and do as they choose!


After a month or some maybe even a few months
I'll bring it together and e-mail it to Natsume (or something like that xd )
From there it's a matter of telling them that a huge fan base came up with a
plot and events and etc for the game.

Write Up By Meganu Bunny
Text Directly Out Of Live Journal Entry(Edited for language):

In AWL, the system is that the son requires the appearance and personality of the wife(The daughter in Oh!WL will look like the father, no matter who the mom is). What I have done, is taken the 5 women from the previous HM games (Elle, Popuri, Karen, Ann, and Mary, in the order seen above) and created sons for them using their system. I probably should have colored them, but I just drew it today and I was pretty proud of it...even if they all wear the same damn thing.

For appearance, the son obtains the mother's eyecolor (and style, as they all have different eyes), and hair color. Though through chapters in AWL the son's eyecolor keeps changing. Also, all sons wear the same thing, with various styles to it (thus why I altered them all).

The key differences between them though, are the personality and interests. Since I'm bored, I'm gonna list all the information about each non-existant child, including interests and strengths in the 6 career paths in AWL. Of course, it'd be impossible for the paths to be in BTN/wtfever, since the people in town don't have some of those jobs. Here's a chart first, though:
1 = Very Low, 2 = Low, 3 = Moderate, 4 = High, 5 = Very High (that's what the numbers on that page were for).

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Child 1
Son of - Elle
Personality Basics - Gentle, sweet, but can occasionally get very angry. Often concerned with others around him
Main Appearance Difference (clothes)
Probably a light blue theme. The markings would probably be white.
Strengths
Study - 2
Plants - 5
Animals - 3
Music - 1
Athlete - 4
Art - 1
Interests
Study - 1
Plants - 5
Animals - 4
Music - 2
Athlete - 3
Art - 2
Conclusion
Elle's son would probably be more on the farming side, purely because there's no doctor career path. That, and Elle seems to like plants a lot.

Child 2
Son of - Popuri
Personality Basics - Sweet, perky, and immature throughout life. This would be fine in infantile stage, though.
Main Appearance Difference
He has little puffy...things, on his shirt. He'd probably have a red color scheme.
Strengths
Study - 1
Plants - 3
Animals - 5
Music - 3
Athlete - 2
Art - 4
Interests
Study - 1
Plants - 4
Animals - 5
Music - 3
Athlete - 4
Art - 2
Conclusion
I'd assume Popuri's son would love animals a lot, since she seems to. He probably wouldn't be into scholarly things, though.

Child 3
Son of - Karen
Personality Basics - Calm, cool, and collected. He'd probably be a bit anti-social, but pretty good at conversations if he tried to start one.
Main Appearance Difference
Checkers. One of them needed checkers, so I figured Karen's would be best. Black and white scheme, most likely.
Strengths
Study - 1
Plants - 1
Animals - 2
Music - 5
Athlete - 3
Art - 3
Interests
Study - 2
Plants - 4
Animals - 1
Music - 5
Athlete - 4
Art - 3
Conclusion
Since I didn't see Karen do a lot, I imagined her son wouldn't have a lot of strength in most areas. She is a good singer though, so I imagine he would be too. He'd probably enjoy being outside a lot too, like his mom.

Child 4
Son of - Ann
Personality Basics - The real boy-boy. The steryotypical guy. He runs, he plays, he's very active. He probably wouldn't stay at home often.
Main Appearance Difference
No bonus things, but I think he'd have an orange theme, for some reason. That or yellow.
Strengths
Study - 2
Plants - 3
Animals - 4
Music - 3
Athlete - 5
Art - 1
Interests
Study - 3
Plants - 1
Animals - 5
Music - 1
Athlete - 5
Art - 3
Conclusion
Best suited for athletics. I have no idea why, but I always though Ann's son would be better fitted for an outdoors man. Plus Ann has a cat, so I figured he'd have a natural interest in animals.

Child 5
Son of - Mary
Personality Basics - Timid, shy, probably will try to avoid people as much as possible. He'd probably like to be alone a lot, pondering to himself.
Main Appearance Difference
He has a little ribbon thing on the collar of his shirt. Otherwise, nothing. White themed, most likely. Or perhaps green, but I'm not sure.
Strengths
Study - 5
Plants - 4
Animals - 2
Music - 3
Athlete - 1
Art - 3
Interests
Study - 5
Plants - 1
Animals - 3
Music - 2
Athlete - 2
Art - 4
Conclusion
I think Mary's son would be the smartest. Like her, he'd have a natural interest in reading, but however will not aquire her interest in plantlife. Still, I feel he would be good with them.

Please note I produced all of this back in February, thus it is out of date. I'm sure all of you have other opinions on this issue, and I want to hear them. If you took the time to read all this, I thank you very much. Please, tell me what you think. I may even update this with 'kid' versions if anyone would like to see that.



About a year ago I came up with my own Harvest Moon character -hopes yous like- ><;

Name:Jasmine
Age:22
Description:She has long curly brown hair and light blue eyes. She is pale,tall and slender
Story:She came to the town only a year ago and set up a seed shop. She lives above it

Picture:


Clothes



(1)Winter-The top is grey and the skirt is black
(2)Spring-The dungerees are blue and the top is purple (also used in pie eating contest,horse races and fishing festival. Note: added layers such as a scarf to be added if festival is in autumn/winter)
(3)Summer-The dress is a pale yellow
(4)Autumn/Fall-The top is a light brown while the skirt is a dark brown
(5)Beach wear- The bikini is bright green with a rim of soft pink(for the swimming festival)
(6)Festivals-For festivals(such as the flower festival and the goddess festival) the dress is pink with a trim of white
House:

Inside:

Inside:

A few other things:
* Jasmine's seed shop is where you can buy any and all of the seeds (fertilizer in picture = optional choice to put in or not) The seeds she sells depends on the month it is.

*When you make better friends with Jasmine,there is an event where you help her find a small cave filled with differant flowers and crops. She now sells those in her shop aswel

* She is optional for marriage (thinking of having her as like a secret wife. You know where she doesnt have a heart level at all until you get to the highest and then its a surprise when it happens. Of coruse this would mean that the basic 'wooing' would have to be a tad differant,as to others. As when wooing your to be spouse,you lavish them with ifts and attention and wouldnt pay much interest in someone who you didnt think interested)

FRIENDSHIP EVENTS!
(different from Normal events Because the normal are just things you see between the townspeople, they have no bearing on there liking or disliking of you.)
(These events help other's in the town like you)

1.)Giving someone a piece of jewelry or item (the event is long term because from time to time you see them wear it...or using it... this is a very interesting idea)
2.)Upon gaining the friendship of a gaming charater you get to learn there birthday and it is added to your calander
3.)Recipies are giving for obtianing friendship...you keep a box that you add the recipies giving to...
4.)Clueless city farmer moves to town (you get events to help him out and become good friends or furious rivals?)
5.)At festival times there are Some people who don't go... If you go and spend the festival day with them you raise the level Of Affection for you or friendship..
you may also get and interesting Item
6.)
7.)
8.)
9.)
10.)

LOVE EVENTS!
(You and your charater get to get mushy with your heart throb and you get to choose what happens...remember this game is rated E for everyone. NO SEX HINTING!!!!)
*Note this is also a section for events that random love interest who are fond of you do things to help you or give you items on special days*

1.)a random event that will help boost the relationship. you have a cat as pet, you can't find it one morning? You spend all day searching for it until the one who has the highest affection for you, visits you and tells you that he found it. (this is for girls)
2.) If 2 guys like you you make trigger an event were they get upset with eachother, and begin to fight, or go into contest to win your affections...(no one really wins bt it would be funny)

CHARATER AGING AND CHANGING!
(Come up with your own looks and see what you get.
Or come with Picture or charater Idea of what they should look like when they get older.)
nothing insanely difficult.

1.) Characters will change slightly depending on how good of friend you are with them as your growing up... each will change and interact with your charater differently depending on you charaters gender.
2.) Change of clothes for every charater during different seasons.

EVENTS

1.)Watching your 2 children fight (reason will be figured out later)
2.)Your grandfather/father buys you a horse to ride, but you got problems first he is still young, and second doesn't trust you enough to let you ride him.
you must earn his trust as you and he grow up together!
3.)~Cow tipping We thought this would be a very humourous addition
Oh, and you can only tip cows at night! If you catch someone in the act of tipping your cows a scene could start where they apologize and give you something, but if you get caught, you have to offer something to the owner of the cows!
4.)may's grandpa dies later o nin the game and you have a choice of adopting her
5.)cliff's family comes to visit him so he's not always depressed
6.)your parents come to visit when your baby is born and once a year
7.)there should be an empty house in town right after you get married to buy or rent and you need to fix it up.you can buy the utensils off of the home shopping network
8.) there should be a new character named Julie who is the mayor's niece and had to come live with him.She needs a job and open's the local coffee shop called the coffee hut which will sit where the empty lot in the game is now
9.)there should be a fncy-ish resturaunt for you and your wife to go to on a date 10.)You get the blue feather if your friends with the harvest spirits/fairies
11.)You get a toy that when you have child gets past down, an agurment breaks out between your children over who might get it?
12.)some sort of oustide festival, circus, or carnival comes to town once a year.might have a lame freak sideshow, people walking around, some clowns, a few booths, maybe you can take a girl, or one of the kids from town(like may or stu)

13.)Maiden of the Night- Oh! I have something to add to that burning building event/mini-game. In order to save people, why don't you use your ax and hammer to break down or get rid of any burning wood or blocks in your way. And you get unlimited stamina just like with the water can.
14.)OriginalVhan (My brother)- A sheep-shearing contest, to see who can collect the most wool throughout the year
15.)Colonel Norns- See, I'm kind of new, but I was thinking about the festivals in the last Harvest Moon games, they aren't that interactive. You go to the Fireworks festival to do what? Watch them, there should be a guy/girl who is in charge of making the fireworks, and if you befriend them enough you can help them make the fireworks and can launch them off.

Complements and Compliants
Things your not fussy about, that you believe should be changes or added.
This helps us explain to the creators what people enjoy and don't.
or that you don't midn but wish were different.
this way they can better relate to us the buyers, and ajust to are wants and needs.

1.)I also notice on most of the covers of the Harvest Moon games that he always holds a pitchfork, in all the games I've ever played I never had to use on let alone get one, once you cut the grass with the sickle you should have to use the pitchfork to bring it to the silo things.

Random Ideas for game play

1.)why not do it like the animal crossing thing where each days go by like real life, and there is like thousands or millions to do so you wont get bored and there is a lot and a lot of stuff you can put in the house and a lot of them you can interact with many of the stuff. And there are more girls and guys, adults and festivals and parties and stuff then the regular stuff. I mean theres the regular stuff, but put many more in it.
2.)Choose your Looks! Change Hair color, height, weight, clothes. Etc
3.)2 Times fake and real time, able to change between both.
4.)HM ONLINE! where you can link up and interact with other HM players getting perhaps even allowing you to get married...and also alllowing you to interact more with people and charaters in the game.

5.)Also in the Playstation version,(don't remember the name) you have to help Cliff get a job, you should be able to do more volunteer work, baby-sit, fill in for the priest, deliver some mail, and the like.
(kind of ripping off Animal Crossing here) There should be a train station that takes you to a couple of different towns, and you can pick which town you want to live in, and the two or so other towns that you don't choose get their own farmers, and the main goal of the game could be at the end of some-odd years to have your town's farm more profitable than the rest..........just tossing some ideas out there.
