Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dreams related to the games of Harvest moon. I will include which town/game its from if known.

After the adventure of the current of what's happening to the Renaissance Galaxy, I have had the second dream relating to a paradisial future that is a lot like Harvest Moon.

In the first "Paradisial dream", pretty much every field save for school fields, had seasonal crops growing in it. Front yards even had crops growing. Well, some front yards. These yards were in charge of distributing extra goods and rare crops to everyone in the community.

My parents had one of these types of places.

They grew rare corn, flowers, and squash in the summer, which it was in this dream too. But it was the end of season. All of the corn, flowers, and squash had been sold to the villagers.

And now it was time to harvest the local fruit trees nearby. The ones in my parents back yard were already harvested from. They had ready oranges, peaches, and pears.

There were apple trees, and berry trees to harvest from that was down a ways and across the street where a local bus stop used to be. There was so much fruit that when Ken Masters was riding by on his horse (cars were banished unless they were non-polluting. The Green Activists had gotten their way here, which was a good thing), had offered to help out.

About an hour after that, my dad and sister offered to help too. Once the job had been completed, it was discovered that six shipments of Jams could be made and we were awarded to go and get some slurpees.

...I thought that last adventure, granny was going to contain more information. *sigh* Oh well...

Okay, I have an adventure to add. Get a load of this!

All right, I dunno what village it was in, but I am guessing it was modern Forget-Me-Not-Valley since one of the goals of the game was to rescue Harvest Sprites.

3 Ducks on my farm and 1 cow was sick due to recent bad weather, but since the following day was nice, and they were outside doing what they do best, they got better on their own!

This reminded me that I had to get feed for their personal buildings. I had chickens, ducks, cows, horses, and sheep. Oh, I also had a few pigs on my farm too.

What was really neat about this was that there were many more makers for the maker shed that was available in the original DS game. There was a bread maker, a mayo maker, a yarn maker, a sweater maker, a denim maker, an ice cream maker, a yogurt maker, a seed maker, a lumber material maker, a stone material maker, a golden lumber material maker, a golden stone material maker, a ring maker, a brooch maker, and finally, a feed maker.

In the Maker shed, if you bought the recipe storage shelf on the Shopping channel (channel 2), then each time you harvest a certain item, it would tell you how close you are to making that recipe. Like Ancient Forget-Me-Not-Valley, you could gather recipes just by inspecting things.

Oh, and there were new buildings you could have too. Like a mill! Well, that isn't exactly a new building, but its new to Forget-Me-Not Valley where it actually does something. If you harvest wheat, which is a crop for summer, you can grind it into flour, which is one of the ingredients needed for the bread maker. If you put corn in the mill, it makes cornmeal, which you can use for baking recipes. The cornmeal cannot be used for chicken feed!

In the feed maker, you can put corn in it to make chicken feed, but the corn doesn't turn into cornmeal. If you put weeds in the feed maker, it will also be used for chicken feed. When fishing, you can find worms! This is the best feed of all for the chickens because if you feed them worms then their affection grows and the quality of their eggs grow. Worms can also be used to fertilize your crops. Caution: Do not use the worms for fertilizer when you have the chickens outside because the chickens will not only eat the worms, but they will also destroy your crops and possibly get sick as well. If you have an outdoor chicken pen, however, then your crops are safe. The chickens may not like you very much if you do though.

If you put blue herbs or indigo herbs in the denim maker along with wool found on sheep, you can make yourself a pair of jeans that you can wear! Once you make a pair, there will be a "prompt" asking you if you wish to wear these jeans. If you say no, then they get automatically shipped for coins.

Unlike most HM games, your clothes do get worn out, they do get dirty and stinky, and they can attract evil bugs. The bathroom is useful here because you hear your character in the shower. And your character can actually get sick in this game like the animals can! If you don't take care of yourself, you could have a sad ending at any time!

Your character will let you know when he/she is hungry by the good ol' guu. The tummy growl. If you press "start", your character will let you know what he/she is in the mood for immediately after the growl. Be sure to do that because you don't want to be feeding him/her too little or too much.

There is a good snack bar nearby that's always open where your "brother" will make you stuff for free just as long as you continue to offer him "the ladies". Your "brother" in the first "chapter" of the game wants a wife and tells you that he doesn't want any men for a mate, which is something that you get the option of. Yes, you can opt for a gay/lesbian life and the Harvest Goddess will bless you with a child no matter what gender you choose as a mate.

However, first things first, finding your brother a wife. If you fail to do this after three full HM years go by, your brother will start charging you for food and turn evil on you.

HM years go by like they did in most games. Meaning 30 days over 4 seasons. The clock is just like the ancient Forget-Me-Not time. And, everybody ages in this game. Your kid will grow up too once you have one. And it will be you that has it even if you choose to be a guy!

There are many objects to this game, which is clearly stated as each goal arises in it. The Sprites, the HM King, or the Harvest Goddess are the ones that give you these jobs. The Sprites often give you jobs to help rescue their missing comrades and usually when you are on the in-between. The Harvest Goddess gives you the main goals, so whatever you do, try and do the Harvest Goddess jobs first. Sometimes, the HG jobs take a while to do, so this is why I mentioned the in betweens. The finding your brother a wife is one such task.

The HM king is Jack, but he looks like a ghost form of the original Jack from the games. He looks spooky. The goals he gives are related to work you must do on your farm or in the village to keep him happy. Make the HM King upset and guaranteed there is going to be some bad stuff happening, so don't slack off.

When going to "sleep" at night, to save the game, you will be speaking with the HM King. He will ask you if you want to save and quit or save and sleep. Save and quit means that you save your progress, then once its saved you may turn off the game console safely. When you return to your game, you will wake up the next day refreshed, and hungry.

More animals are also available and its more like a real farm than anything else. You can have all animal related animals on your farm. Goats, pigs, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, and cows of several varieties (some cows, depending on type will give you different milk. Pink cows will give you Strawberry milk, which is worth more than normal milk by a few coins).

It was a dream worth having and I hope that there is a game just like the dream I had.
