/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Because you haven't made it yet.

Seriously, good ideas are like small children, they rarely come to the right people and are often completely useless to them. Learn some scripting and basic coding, you can easily take a Harvest Moon game and replace the sprites to look like your favorite Tohou and after that replacing scripts is a breeze.

You should really do that, because I'm not sure the right idea will hit someone else.

>>7155041
Well...I do have a lot of free time, and I know some other people that are interested in this. One of them is a computer science major. I guess I could possibly do it!

I am interested, and if you make it I want to be able to take Cirno and keep her in my freezer.

>>7155055
Yes please do this OP.
Harvest Moon is one of my favourite games.
I think i'd even pay for it if it is good.
Maybe even a bad rehash would be fine

OP here, I would love to hear some ideas from interested people about what you would like to see in it.

>>7155062
Recreate gensokyo in harvest moon style.

>>7155062

Danmaku battles. If you win, you get the girl as your sex slave.

>And if you lose, the other way around.

>>7155070
EVERYBODY WINS!

>>7155070
I'd lose on purpose.

the protag could be Reimu.
You have to grow plants on a small field near the shrine to earn money.
The harvest goddess would be one of the Aki sisters(or both).

No need for this to be an eroge.
Keep it innocent and cute!

Obviously you'd need to, say, plant mushrooms to gift to Marisa, or cucumbers for Nitori, so for every romance-capable girl, they'd want a plant. Kaguya or Mokou might need a one-of-a-kind Everlasting Flower that you have to do something tough to find. Komachi would appreciate higanbana (spider lilies). And so on and so forth.

Maybe the plot could be Reimu needing to turn Hakurei Shrine into a farm for additional revenue?

AND DON'T FORGET THE BLUE FEATHER

>>7155086
OP here, I definitely have no plans for this to be an eroge. Innocent and cute is the way to go. I like those ideas though, keep em coming!

Rune factory + touhou

reimu unable to buy anymore food decided to grow mushrooms to survive

the ever evolving world of gensokyo changes everyday new seeds and plants grow

be a merchant or farmer and earn your way to a blissful dinner

have meaningful relationships with the residents of gensokyo

Fight in intense danmaku battles

I would buy this

Sounds fun.

Interesting!

How many girls would be marriable?

What kind of special plants would gensokyo have to grow?

These ideas sound very fun. Too bad it will never be realized.

>>7155155
I would honestly love to make them ALL marriable, but I really don't have much of a head for this thing, so I don't know if that's feasible. I would have to talk to the other people I mentioned first, but since they're not around, for now I'm just taking ideas. SHOULD there be some special kinds of plants? I suppose certain things, like some of the specific plants >>7155086
mentioned, but what else?

A shitty base concept doesn't become good just because you added Touhou.

>>7155172
Replace the usual apple tree with a peach tree.

>>7155172
You're right, it'll never be realized if no one makes an attempt at it. I'm going to, but even if I fail, I hope that someone might take the idea and run with it. You never know.

>>7155170

ADMIRAL PESSIMISM

>>7155180

AND HIS BROTHER, GENERAL NEGATIVITY

>>7155184
WHOOPS I meant >>7155170

Grow sunflowers with Yuuka!

I'd imagine that it would actually work pretty well, I've only played Harvest Moon 64 so far, but that one at lest seems overall simple enough that a fanmade Touhou-Version is possible.

It'd still be a shitload of work, though, and I kinda doubt it'll ever be finished

>>7155186
Name one COMPLETED fangame made by western fanbase.

>>7155172
Well in all honesty I think you might be getting ahead of yourself.

Keep the number of marriageable girls down to 3, it keeps you from worrying about all that dialog you would need to make. You could include all the girls in the game but keep their dialog down so you don't have to worry about it as much. It's still your first attempt so I wouldn't bite off more than you could chew.

Which 3 girls should you choose? Well I'd say pick 2 of your personal favorites and then hold a contest on /jp/ for which should be the last one. The contest could be pretty simple like a whoever can fill a thread fast enough or even just using gets. Whatever works really.

Special plants are a good idea since carrots and potatoes aren't that great, but then you're going to worry about balancing so you don't make Unlimited flower of awesomeness that generates 100 currency a day without watering.

I do like what >>7155083 and >>7155086 have to say, especially the idea of specific plants for specific girls.


All in all good ideas and stay positive about it! It'll be a lot of work but in the end you'll see you did something truly commendable because you made your dream just a tiny bit closer to reality.

I've yet to see any actual fan-made Harvest Moon games. I guess it's harder than you think to just replace the sprites and text.

>>7155199
Depends, /v/ has an entire list of fanmade games that are fun and free to play, in addition to that have you ever head of Newgrounds? Even though they all use flash they are fan made games that are brought forth to completion. Also while I haven't been a PC gamer much lately I can recall a half a dozen Matrix fan mods for UT, Quake Arena and various other shooters that are complete. In addition to the hundreds of Never Winter Night mods and Oblivion quests that make up that number.

The thing that usually hampers most fan games is cease and desist orders from companies that don't want them to one-up them with less resources. But if it's just a minor conversion without an eye for profit it passes. I mean the Moemon thing passed without too much complaint and I'm not sure who handled that.

>>7155204
I like the idea about a contest on /jp/...maybe I could have the personal favorite of each person that actually ends up working on it, then have a thread on /jp/ to find out one more on top of those?

I do think you're right though, about ALL OF THEM being more than I can deal with right now. Thanks for the ideas!

Tenshi event if you grow enough Peach trees.
Tewi/Reisen events for carrots
Also Patchi as the librarian.

Any ideas for the animals?
How about yuyucows?

>>7155235
Reimu and Sanae rival shrine maidens.

Holiday events/festivals almost always held at Reimu's shrine, with maybe one at Sanae's.

Donating at Reimu's gives you jack shit, except for way end-game when it unlocks an event to get you the best tools a la Yukari or something.

Donating at Sanae's gives you Kanako-Suwako events, and mid- to high-end tools and quality seeds. Or maybe a golden cow or something if you're really fervent.

>>7155235

Gotta raise a flock of China for fresh eggs.

>>7155251
OP here, I really like this!

>>7155216
Uhh, are those games/mods you mentioned related to Touhou?

A nitori event if you throw a cucumber into the lake in the mountains(Actually there was such a event in friends of mineral town.A kappa appeared and gave you something)
Sweetpotatoe event of aki sisters.
Letty and Cirno only appear in winter.
During winter you can play with both of them to earn money since you can't grow plants in winter.
(Dunno how that could work.Maybe a minigame?Mining seems to be kinda out of place)

>>7155286
I don't think so. NWN community tends to be fairly stuck in their Medieval European ways, Oblivion yes but Japanese modders tend to have locks on theirs because sharing is not always caring.

>>7155291
Remilia and Rumia only appear at night.
Of course Lily white will announce the spring.

We also need someone who can upgrade the shrine.
Maybe Keine(she has a house on her head XDDddd so randum)
or maybe Moukou?Suika would be the best for this job imo.After all she helped to rebuild the shrine twice.

>>7155314
OP here, I am thinking Suika.

>>7155314
There also could be a Iku event to get a fishing rod.Then again I don't know how realistic fishing is in gensokyo.Fishing always seemed to be one of the rather useless features of harvest moon so I'd be not much of a loss.
There also should be a Eientei event.I'm thinking about that lunar exhibition thing from Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth

Don't forget the SA cast. You meet them as you goes deeper in the cave behind the waterfall.

>>7155251
You might as well add UFO cast events to that.
They have a temple near the human village

I really like this idea you brought up, OP, seeing how HM is one of my favorite games.

Maybe Yukari can be the Harvest Goddess? Comes with a different twist, though. On events like your birthday, etc. she would send Chen/Ran to give you gifts, depending on her heart level. Marrying her is an option, but has ridiculously difficult requirements like the game.

Also, Keine/Akyu/Patchouli for librarian. Marisa for innkeeper, maybe? She could also take the role of Popuri. Reimu would be interesting as the mayor. Oh and Rinnosuke as Jeff! It's the only person I can think up of for the grocery store owner aside from Marisa.

Just the thought of a Touhou themed Harvest Moon is making me joyous!

Harvest Moon is a mainstream video game. Mainstream video games go on /v/. Putting Touhous in it doesn't make it any more board related than those "which Touhou's x would you y" theads.

>>7155391
I like the idea of Yuka selling seeds better

>>7155418
I think I like the idea of Yuuka selling seeds more, that makes sense to me. Or did you mean Yukari? If you did that's fine I would just need some sort of explanation.

>>7155431
I just forgot a "u" so yeah Yuuka

>>7155418
Ah, I can't believe I forgot about Yuuka. Yeah, she sounds better as the person selling seeds. Maybe Rinnosuke as Won the traveling salesman, then? I look forward to the apple games again.

>>7155436
You didn't really. Yuka is how it's spelt in the games.

>>7155418
>>7155431
>>7155436
>>7155440
>>7155449
Either way, thank you for the input!

>>7155440
Do we really have to limit it to friends of mineral town?
I just played Grand Bazar a while ago and really liked that whole bazar system and the windmills.
Maybe we could take some aspects from other harvest moon games too?
I remember for example that we were able to dig up fossils in "a wonderful life".

Also:How about about a Mima event at night?

>>7155456
A mix of all the HM games would be nice. Remember RFF's Whale Island? Replace that with Murasa's ship.

And maybe the Harvest Sprites live nearby the bamboo forest.

>>7155456
Of course not. We can mix and match any ideas that sound good.

>>7155449
Enjoy your Momizi Inubashiri then.

>>7155340
Now wait a minute.

Fishing is a staple requirement in Harvest Moon.
A. Its Funding, you need that set cash flow that fish provide.
B. Cooking skills. Most Harvest Moon games must have cooking in them. You gotta feed yourself before a Wife can do it for you.
C. Storyline. Fishing is tied into the Storylines of many Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games. Some characters are much harder to win over if you can't use a rod.
D. Events. Cutting out a whole slew of Summer time events by removing Fishing would just be utterly silly.

Besides. Its Gensokyo. You want to completely remove an event where you can roast fish over a campfire for someone like Ran or Suika or Yuugi? You want to remove the ability to win over Mystia by supplying Eels for her stand?

"I don't see where fishing fits in." Use your brain, idiot.

>>7155418
>>7155431
>>7155436
>>7155440
>>7155449
Doesn't matter anyway, she's a terrible character for weak people who want to jerk themselves blind over a strong character without feeling like a secondary for liking Cirno.

>>7155654
>Some characters are much harder to win over if you can't use a rod.

Doh ho ho ho

>>7155670
Haters gonna hate.

Just replace the sprites and some text for Friends of Mineral Town. The doctor and Elly could be replaced by Eirin and Reisen.

Might need a larger map then usual with Gensokyo being the setting. And what about nocturnal touhous?

>>7155729
Well obviously they would come out at night, when all the others are inside. I don't feel like I understand what you're asking.

Also yeah, about the map. It wouldn't need to be too fuckhuge I don't think.

OP here! OK, the things that I am going to have THE MOST DIFFICULTY WITH are people that know what the fuck they're doing with sprites, and artist/s. Writing, Music(the idea of voice acting was also posed to me, I'm not entirely sure if I like the idea; in fact I'm pretty sure I don't, but its something to keep in mind I guess), programming, all that stuff I can find people to do, or do myself.

I cannot draw for shit, and I don't believe that any amount of practicing will remedy this.

>>7155291
>Letty and Cirno only appear in winter.
Cirno is around all year long, only Letty only appears during Winter.

>>7155734
I mean, would there be night events for them as well? Or maybe every party at the SDM you can meet up.

>>7155741
Letty also "appears" in the others seasons, but she will probably laze around in her house. (assuming she HAS a house)

>>7155747
Oh, yeah, of course there'd be events for them.

A question for you OP. For this, do you intend just to do a mod of one of the Harvest Moon games like Mineral Town, or are you intending to do a full-fledged doujin game? Because I'm really interested in helping out to the best of my ability on a doujin game, while a mod... well, I've completely played-out my interest in all the Harvest Moon games to date.
And here's an idea. If you want to include everyone and everywhere in the game, why don't you do a first release which is a finished copy of the basic ideas here (such as 3-5 target girls, a map covering a few of Gensoukyou's more accessible locations) and then add on some of the other locations and their residents in time?
That way, over time you can add in all the characters you want, and it also gives you an excuse to release bugfix updates.

>>7155949
>Because I'm really interested in helping out to the best of my ability on a doujin game
If you want to "help", at least list your skills and competences.

>>7155963
I'm fairly confident in my artistic skills, but there's likely plenty of people here who also are. Admittedly, I have little experience with sprite art, but aside from the eye-pain from all the minute differences you have change between the sprites, I've heard it's not all to difficult.
I also take pride in my writing, but I figure you don't need someone with amazing writing skills to write up dialogue between characters. As a Grammar Nazi however, I'm sure I could help with proofreading and such.
I also understand music theory fairly well, if you do need someone to do music, I might be able to help.

>>7155996
I probably have someone to do music. Artists, as I mentioned, are something that I need the most. Writers I have enough of, but I suppose more writers means less mistakes and better dialogue! All of those are helpful! I'm gonna put my steamid in the email field. If you don't have Steam, I'll be back in a bit, just say so and I'll give my email. Only reason I don't just give the email straight off is that I'm kinda anal about giving it out to a bunch of people I don't know!

>>7155996
Oh I'll also answer the question in the first post when I get back if I can, I'm heading out the door right now, sorry.

>>7155949
>>7155996
>>7156317
>>7156319
Right well you haven't shown up again, so I'll just bump this and also put an email in the email field. I made a new one, just for this. So ANYONE with ANY skills that they feel like might be helpful, please feel free to either add me on steam or throw me an email.

Giving examples of your work would also be EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

Or you can just post in this thread whatever the fuck you wanna do I'm happy with all of those.

>>7156421
Whoops, I forgot the email.

Honestly, this is a great idea. I would be wholeheartedly interested in playing a game like this.

>>7156422
>>7156421
>>7155949
I also forgot to answer the question, goddamn.

OK so, first part. I want to do a full-fledged game. Mods are nice, but I want this to be more or less ours and not just a sprite/script swap...

Second part! This is actually the very plan that popped into my head at around >>7155204 that point.

The thought of a Touhou Harvest Moon game where I can marry Mokou sounds very nice. Best of luck with this project.

>>7156451

Email sent. Not sure how committed you are since this was very spontaneous but I'll bite.

I'll just give this a bump. Still looking for ideas and people interested in working on it.

Giving this another bump then heading to bed. I'll check this thread in the morning. Feel free to contribute ideas or just let the thread die. If there haven't been any new replies when I check in the morning I'll just make a new thread when more decisions have been made.

I'll also throw out an idea. A couple of people have mentioned Reimu as the main character, but I'm not sure about that. Reimu and Rinnosuke as choices would be good, I think, but I was also thinking about just a generic male character and a generic female character. Or maybe a few different looking generic characters.

I'd certainly be interested in helping, but the sad truth is that I have no talents that would be of any help, so..

I'll just cheer whoever's helping on

rune factory frontier anyone

>Reimu
>Main character

Fucking why.jpg This is a chance to let another Touhou enter the spotlight, even if it's just a fangame.

If this happens, it will be the greatest thing /jp/ has ever done

I love you today /jp for this wonderful idea.

>>7157286

Is this going to be on the PC? Are you guys using a graphics/game engine or utility?

I'm personally up for having an unknown main character. With Reimu as the main character, you have the trouble of people who would want to target Reimu, as well as making the game unappealing to anyone who dislikes Reimu/X and yuri in general.
Hell, you could even use the contrived plot of Yukari dumping the main character into Gensoukyou. To make it more silly, you could use the excuse that Gensoukyou's running out of food, since a lot of people keep partying/getting involved in Danmaku battles. So... they need someone to task the farms.

>>7157326
That would be fucking awful if they used Youmu

I think the biggest difficulty is that most characters live in completely different areas instead of a centralized town. you either have to make a bunch of different zones or come up with an excuse for characters to visit a central area.

>>7157286
the protagonist is always the least important character in this kind of game. I don't think the harvest moon guy can even talk.

>>7157573

I'd just manage it like HM 64, you leave your farm and then there's a little crossroad where you can just magically go everywhere

If you have to make it realistic, then have Yukari place gap-shortcuts for you or something

here's an example of what the game map could look like

south area: raymoo's shrine/farm
suika can be like the harvest sprites and yukari is the goddess

middle area: human villiage
buy stuff at kourindou, udongay visists to sell medicine, aya has a newspaper office

west area: lake
scarlet devil mansion here

east area: forest
visit alice and marisa

north area: mountain
sanae's shrine works like the second farm, trade nitori cucumbers for items, get rare seeds from yuka

other characters would be guests that only show up for festivals

>>7157650
forgot my picture

Don't forget the whole, different places open at night than at day. For example youkai places open at night, human places open during the day. I would so help if help was needed but im not that good at programming.

>>7157650
>>7157654
You have include Eientei.

>Planning to develop a HARVEST moon game
>Not even MENTION the FUCKING HARVEST GODDESSES

SECONDARIES

ALL

ALL

OF YOU

ARE

FUCKING

USELESS

SECONDARIES!!

Holy shit, you'd think that ANYONE would remember them at least when they mention the word "harvest".
Y'all disgust me.

>>7157739
But they've been mentioned several times.

>>7157739
Minoriko is shit

>>7157739
>GODDESSES
Why is this plural? Is Suwako a harvest goddess? I only remember there being one.

I'm home...
.....
I live by myself, so of course there is no reply.
Huh...
An ordinary day after an ordinary...
Get up in the morning, go to work as usual,
leave work, go to eat, go home, check /jp/, and sleep...
Everyday, the same patter...
Isn't there something exciting in this world?
*BGM starts*: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJuFtx-CCFQ&feature=related (GBA version of this one)
....
I guess not... Well, I have to work tomorrow.
Let's check /jp/ once more and go to bed.
Click... click....
Well, what's going on in the world...?
Huh? What's this?

Anonymous: Hello, /jp/. There is a town I am living in that has a nice farm nearby. If you would like to enjoy a peaceful and refreshing farm life, feel free to post in this thread. I will choose one of you and contact you as soon as possible.

Probably a troll post. A farm life sounds fun, though, might as well reply just for fun.
Click... click...
Well, that's it for today. I still have work tomorrow...

Midnight...
*doorbell rings*
Who in the world would visit me at this time of the night? Probably a prank, I should ignore it and sleep.
*gap appears with Yukari*
Yukari: Hello, Anonymous. I am Yakumo Yukari, the one who posted about the farm on /jp/. Do you remember? I have chosen you from the posts I've seen. Well, we should pack your bags and go to Gensokyo(will this be the 'town' name?) soon. My shikigami will come here in a few minutes to assist you. Chop chop!
*Yukari leaves*
W-what?
...
It looks like that post true after all. Should I really go to Gensokyo?
*imagination of Anon working at the farm, taking care of the dog, etc.*
!!!!!
This is it!
Something exciting!
I should prepare my things now. Oh, it looks like Yukari's "shikigami" are here. I should introduce myself.

If we use a touhou as the protagonist, who would it be?

Frankly I can't think of many scenarios for a touhou to start farming. Well actually I can think of a few maybe.

Marisa starts to expand from mushrooms and starts growing everytype of shit simply because she stole a whole bunch of seed packets a while ago or found some at Kourindou.

Reimu because she's poor as shit and needs to make food and money. She gives up on getting donations and decides to become self sufficient.

Wriggle, who after a while decides that there could be more flowers and crops for the insects. She sells some of the crops on the side to continue her farming exploits for her insects and can easily direct them to which plants they should eat. Partial bug manager simulator. Alternate idea for Wriggle, the farmers get mad at the insects for ruining their crops so much, make a fuss towards Reimu, then Reimu finds Wriggle and forces Wriggle to grow a farm personally for her insect friends.

I'm actually liking Wriggle as a protagonist quite a bit. Not sure who her routes could be. Yuuka and Mystia I'd say. Not sure about who else.

Average Writer as well. I can proof-read through the dialogue and edit it.

>>7157902
Maybe Cirno and Rumia?

>>7157902
Reisen or Kaguya run away from home to start life anew!

They could run rabbit farms.

Oh, I forgot. I can create music and do sprites. I'm not too good at the sprite thing though, but music is alright.

Speaking of music, is the BGM for the game arranges of the Touhou games? This is what I'm expecting.

>>7157919
If they're all added with their own routes then ⑨ group harem route maybe? Where Wriggle gets it on with all her friends. Yuuka wouldn't be included though since she would be disapproving of cheating on her probably.

Looking at the All Seme Wriggle pool on Danbooru maybe a Yukari route. Not sure how it would work, but it's an idea.

>>7157902
Honestly I think a faceless man or woman would be best as the protagonist.

>>7157941
How about Sin sack?

Anonymous can also be the protagonist.

>>7156317
Sent you a friend request on steam.
>>7157941
That might be for the best.

>>7157902
Just make a nameless protagonist with choosable gender.

Just make the protagonist some random dude who gets portaled into Gensokyo. It makes storytelling a lot simpler, and completely avoids issues with favoritism or canon.

>>7157941
I've always disliked faceless characters honestly. I'd like it if the protagonist actually had a character. An OC for protagonist I could take if written well, but a plain faceless man always felt disturbing and off to me.

Also there'd be less direction. There's a fuckton of touhous and trying to include everyone a person would like a route for would be a long arduous process or diminish the worth of everyone's route. Having an established character and people that character could feasibly romance would be better for direction.

Though if we were going for a random farmer in the human village then the only feasible route would be Keine possibly. Hieda maybe, but she feels kind of hard to do romance with. And neither shrine is really visitable with the Moriya Shrine being on top of the Youkai Mountain and the Hakurei Shrine just being rather unpopular and apparently infested by youkai according to village gossip. Though if the farmer can get up the courage to go Reimu route would be possible I guess. One could say Mokou route would be possible due to being acquianted with Keine, but then you could possibly move onto Kaguya by using that logic with Mokou and then possibly the rest of Eientei. Though if the routes are limited then maybe the Aki sisters could get some focus purely due to them being harvest goddesses.

Possible routes being Keine, Reimu, Akyu, and the Aki sisters if we're a random farmer.

If we're going random farmer than the first thing to set would be which characters are romancable. Choosing which characters could be romanced could possibly bog down the entire project.

>>7157984
Have you ever played Harvest Moon?

>>7157984
>Choosing which characters could be romanced could possibly bog down the entire project.
http://v.thwiki.info/vote8/result_char.html
Go with the top 15

Use this Touhou

http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Rin_Satsuki

She was cut and never got in the game. She's pretty faceless because of that, wouldn't hurt to try and use an underdog.

Aki sisters and whoever else.

But they have to be there.

Really, nameless MC is the best kind of MC for games like Harvest Moon.

>>7157990
Honestly just Rune Factory 3. I am quite possibly unfit to make comments on the direction of this project since I am not very familiar with the whole style.

The reason I talked about the importance of direction is because this is just some fanproject really and the things it can get bogged down by are enormous. I'm entirely unsure about the amount of work that can be properly be put in if nothing is decided. Or if the writing quality would be any good.

Though honestly I have no experience in these types of things so feel free to entirely ignore me.

>>7158015
I didn't mean to be an ass, I apologize. I was aiming more towards your faceless protagonist comment. But I think the entire concept of a route just seems unnecessary. If you play the old harvest moons there isn't much of a story, just throw some events in there with the different characters and let the player pick his favorite waifu.

>>7157994
Immediate problem: that poll doesn't reflect /jp/, there'd be hell to pay if Patchouli or Cirno aren't choices (I think, anyway, they get a lot of facetime round here).

>>7157286
>>7157505
>>7157696
>>7157739
>>7157937
There were a lot of new posts, I will try to reply to all of them. If I miss anyone, please yell at me, though some of the ideas put forward are similar to other ideas earlier in the thread! This is OP by the way. Anyhow, yeah, I think we'll just go with generic protagonist whose gender you can choose, that seems like the best decision there to me.
>>7157394
Yes, it will be on the PC. My Computer Scientist friend tells me that he wants to make HIS OWN engine, I will know more about this on Thursday.
>>7157650
I was thinking that Suika would be the carpenter, and...well, I know that Yukari isn't a witch, but she still reminds me of the Witch Princess from that Harvest Moon game on the DS. I was thinking of something like that! Feel free to tell me if you think that's retarded.
>>7157859
>>7157860
>>7157880
I like you and I like what you've written.

I may very well need someone to do music. I know a sound engineer but I haven't had the chance to talk to him, and I don't know that he'd be interested. So go ahead and send me an email if you didn't already, I haven't checked yet. And yes, I would like the music to be touhou music, WHAT touhou music will be decided next.
>>7157995
>>7158036
OK, to start with, we are only putting the personal favorite of each member of the team working on this in as marriable. If we get somewhere with this(AND WE WILL), we can ALWAYS add the rest. The lead programmer has told me that his side of that is very easy, so it's just a matter of writing dialogue and events really! I WANT to put every character in as a marriable character, but I feel like we should get the game to a playable state before we do something like that.

Again, if I missed anyone, please yell at me. Thanks!

>>7157994
>>7158036
>>7158418
>to start with, we are only putting the personal favorite of each member of the team working on this in as marriable

Bravo! That's exactly what you should be planning to do from the start.

It's a goddamn fanwork. Behave like fans.

>Why is there no fangame X?
>You make it.
>OK
That went better than expected.

>>7158446
Haha, the idea of doing it myself hadn't even popped into my head. I just suddenly realized I had a lot of free time, and this was a pretty constructive way of using that. It also suddenly came to me that I had the means of doing it, between myself and people I know that also like touhou/harvest moon.

Oh, OP here again, I noticed a couple people in the thread expressed interest in helping but didn't email me or anything. Please send me an email(or add me on steam), it's very difficult to get in touch otherwise!te

Hey OP, you ever hear of an eroge called Kingdom?

I think a setup like that could be ideal for you.

The game is somewhat setup like harvest moon in which you can go around the town and interact with people and see events and stuff. You can also choose your own career, and the game has a handful of options, like farmer, soldier, priest, hotel manager, waiter, perfomer, etc. However, there is no actual gameplay, it's like harvest moon sans the farming. You automatically do your job every morning, get to see a little clip of you at your job, and then get to go around town in the afternoon, so the days are shorter. You get payed every week or so and get to use the money to buy gifts. You also get sunday off for special events like dates or whatever. And there are like 20 girls, each with their own storyline and events. Some are linked to certain jobs while others you can woo regardless of profession. I just think it might be a good setup, perhaps you could rip the engine and just change the sprites and portraits. Maybe add some more constructive gameplay too.

Might just want to check it out, if just for inspiration at least. And there is minimal actual porn in it, if you aren't into that.

>>7158491
I definitely don't want porn in this. I will definitely check that out though, and forward it to the programming leader if I think there's something we can use there. Thank you!

>>7157937
Oh yeah, I need you to Email me. I knew I'd missed someone. If you have musical talent that'd be useful! Sprites too.

>>7158518
Alright then, gonna create a new email first though.

Some sort of messenger/an IRC channel would be nice for this.

>>7158532
Yeah, that was suggested by someone else who emailed me, I will look into that at some point today.

The Rune Factory series, derivated from Harvest Moon, has some great RPG elements in it. Maybe you could get some things in it.

Definitely following this, go /jp/!

Make bugs catchable.
Catching bugs was possible in Grand bazar and in a gameboy harvest moon.
Mystia and Wiggle will love them.
Rinnosuke could be the guy who upgrades items.
After all he frequently is repairing Marisas hakkero.
Yuuka should sell flowers which can also bloom in winter.

Pic related.It's a secret shrine in Grand Bazar.
(Darn I didn't knew that I could marry her I thought that's impossible cos she has no heart in her conversation windows)

>>7158551
I like the idea of bug catching.

I also like the idea of Rinnosuke being the upgrade guy, I think he should be the general store guy too, though.

Wait, /jp/ is being productive?
holy

>>7157937
Alright, finally made an email.

What the fuck, /jp/. Since when did you guys start getting shit done?

It's kind of adorable. You guys rock if anything actually comes of this

>>7158591
>You guys rock

Maybe instead of the T.V in the house (I mostly played Friends of Mineral Town) the Bunbunmaru Newspaper tells the player if there will be a storm or a future event.

This just might get awesome.

>>7158600
>praise /jp/
>get scolded
Stay classy.

>>7158629
Another good idea!

>>7158629
Ah! This sounds interesting. Something like Annette, the mail girl from RFF, maybe? Replaced by Aya, of course. Then there would be events where the one delivering the mail could be Hatate and such.

bump to combat Marisa shitposting.

Oh man, this isn't going to be a retarded pipe dream? Good job guys!

>>7158698
>implying it's not going to be a retarded pipe dream
prove me wrong OP

>>7158703
Please don't abuse greentext

>>7158703
Usually I'd be that guy, but fuck, just see if anything happens. Projects like these usually don't get off the ground but if this does it would be nice.

>>7158721

You could help the project yourself instead of whining about how no one else finishes projects you like, you know

Shizuha is not a harvest god, just so you guys don't get the wrong idea.

>>7158418
>I was thinking that Suika would be the carpenter
What's the idea behind that? Wouldn't Kanako be the more logical choice for that role?

Get out Harvest-Moon devs

That is a joke

Explain to me why you would want to play as a established character in a Harvest Moon clone instead of a male protagonist that you can name after yourself?

Sorry but I'd rather interact with the people of Gensokyo as myself.

>>7158755
I was thinking about her rebuilding Reimu's place in SWR.

>good ideas are like small children, they rarely come to the right people and are often completely useless to them.

I'm really confused as to how this simile works.

>>7158771

I'd rather not.

>>7158771
I've decided on just using two generic characters, one for each gender.

>>7158779

>>>/u/

Harvest Moon sucks. Make a Touhou Atelier game. Alchemy, fuck yeah!

>>7157995
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Rin_Satsuki

The touhou wiki has moved, update your bookmarks

>>7158776
I see, that does make sense. While on the subject I might as well give Yamame a mention too. Spiders are said to be good with architecture.

>>7158780
Can you get a "Best Friend" to live and adopt a child together with after holding a Best Friend ceremony?

>>7158814
I'd like to see that, her yellow ribbons could be wrapped around everything like spiderwebs holding the structures up.

>>7158821
A "Best Friend" of the same gender?

>>7158833
Naturally.

>>7158834
Yeah that was kinda the idea I had with being able to choose either gender for the player character.

>>7158737
I'm working on my own project. Is that good enough for you?
It's the truth that there are a lot more unfinished game projects than finished ones. The ratio is overwhelmingly high. There's no whining involved.

>>7159003
This anonymous is right, there's really no reason to start some kind of argument. That's just how it is.

Also, bump.

You will never ...

I think having fairies instead of sprites work on your farm. I mean, they have the same level of intelligence.

>>7159331
They also could be animals who give milk and lay eggs.

Maybe Alice Margatroid, with her dolls, could replace Harvest Moon's sprites.

Also, this needs Scarlet Mansion. You need to befriend the gatekeeper before entering though.

>>7159348
I just imagined Cirno as a cow and instead of milk she gives you milkshakes...

>>7159356
>>7159331
I like BOTH of these ideas. I think for now I'll go with fairies, though, that seems like the best plan.

please create a devlog or a wiki page, so that everyone can follow this and/or donate money.

Since this is touhou related you can just create a sub-user page at touhouwiki.net (ie User:MYNAME/Harvest Gensokyo or something)

Since this is touhou related you can just create a sub user-page at touhouwiki.net (ie User:MYNAME/Harvest Gensokyo or something like that)

I'd love to support you OP,but all I could do is writing simple dialogues or coming up with new ideas for the gameplay in this thread ;_;

I'll make one update right now.

Between today and thursday, I need to work on getting an IRC set up, a shared workspace, a place to make a checklist of assignments(someone suggested Microsoft Sharepoint).

I have at least three people interested in programming, the programming team leader has about 8 years experience in programming. He wants to use C++ with direct x and visual C++.

I have an interested artist. I won't link their work here, since I'm not sure they want it linked here, but it's very good. This is just for character portraits/close ups of emotions etc. I still don't really have someone who knows what they're doing with sprites, but I do have interested people that say they would like to learn to do it.

I have a guy willing to work on music, he's working on a sample for me that should be done Thursday or Friday.

I have three writers(four including me since this is more my area but I'm planning on working with all the areas of this), only one of them has given me a sample yet.

I don't think I forgot anything. I probably did. AGAIN, if you think you can contribute in ANY WAY, please, send me an email or add me on steam.

bamp

>>7159455
Oh, and we're building this from the ground up. We will not be taking an existing game and just swapping sprites and scripts.

>>7159455
>C++ with direct x and visual C++
Oh my, what a shame.

>>7159516
let us no why, nothing is final yet, and we're still very open to suggestions.

>>7159516
It's not like that can't be changed if you give me a REASON. Why is that a shame?

>Obviously you'd need to, say, plant mushrooms to gift to Marisa, or cucumbers for Nitori, so for every romance-capable girl, they'd want a plant. Kaguya or Mokou might need a one-of-a-kind Everlasting Flower that you have to do something tough to find. Komachi would appreciate higanbana (spider lilies). And so on and so forth.

This is a brilliant idea and I wish you all the best. I'm also going to say faceless male farmer is the best way to go.

>>7155035
dear OP, I love the idea of your game but I'll be the devils advocate and say

1) your progammers will quit half way
2) your artist will do thte same, or he sucks
3) your writers will write shit

If you are feeling mad right now, you do not have what it takes to complete this.

with that said, I do support your idea and goal and wish you all the best in it. I'm just very skeptical of it. Also, prove me wrong and I'm sure myself and a lot of other anons would love your game and play the shit out of it.

>>7159564
Even if all three of those are true, as long as I don't quit I can always rebuild the team. I know that at least my lead programmer won't quit unless I do.

I also completely understand the skepticism, I'm a member of this community as well. I've seen enough projects started that sounded fucking amazing that just failed.

Thank you for your support!

Bump.

Instead of the golden log pissing the villagers off, maybe a golden sakè gourd randomly placed on the farm would trigger the event.

>>7159587
God speed motherfucker, I'm currently playing some HM right now getting ready for this.

>>7159651

>>7159587
so OP, what's the current plan? Big ambitious project that will take a while to even get to beta, or small project with minimal chracters that you might be able to release in a few weeks?

>>7159709
Second one. If we get that done, I plan on adding the rest of the girls over some amount of time.

>>7159728
that's good. Other than the update you gave us here >>7159455
, is there anything else you can say at this point, ie what characters are in etc? It makes it easier to give suggestions

>>7159730
Not until Thursday at the earliest, sorry. It looks like Remilia, Nazrin, Flandre, and Reisen will probably be in it at first(just guessing at what I know of these people and which touhous they like).

>>7159739
I think a sort of "features list" needs to be created, so that people can take what we have and make suggestions, and keep it updated sorta in real time.

>>7159739
wouldnt it be easier to have related touhous together first? For example, starting with the scarlet devil mansion.

>>7159748
I think you're right, I'll add that to my to-do list.

>>7159750
I was thinking about that as well, but unless someone else on the team has a problem with the original plan I'm just gonna stick with that.

>>7159739
That's kind of an odd selection. Reisen, I can see a nameless male coming to get to know. Flandre and Remilia not quite as much, what with their mansion and all.

>>7159801
It's not a Touhou game if there isn't some challenge for a decent reward.

>>7159801
They throw parties and sometimes invite humans to them.

>>7159801
what. there will be males? in gensokyo? I thought we'd be playing as reimu or marisa

bumping, and, I think that was the original idea, but currently, we are making 2 characters, generic males and generic females, who the player can name themselves.

Back to page one.

>>7159892
this

>>7159801
It's an odd selection, yes, but the reasoning for it was explained earlier. We're going to go with the favorite touhou of each of the team members, so they're obviously not going to all be from one area of gensokyo, or really have all that much in common.

>>7159750
A member of the team suggested to me that we do what I was talking about, but on top of that add in all of the girls from one of the games(probably EoSD since I'm pretty sure we're already adding Flan and Remi anyhow). It wouldn't be THAT much more work, and since it was one of the writers that suggested it, I feel that that would be okay. I think that the people that would have the most work as far as extra girls goes would be the writers/artist. This is the last amendment I'm making to the number of girls we'll originally have though, I swear, if I keep making changes we'll get back to where we started with all of them being available at once.

>>7159739
That is the worst selection.

>>7159984
Well, first, that's not all of the girls that are going to be in, I said wait till Thursday. Second, if we're limiting it to certain girls, obviously not everyone is going to be happy. Lastly, as I've said before, if we get somewhere with THIS setup then we'll add the rest in over time.

Bump.

OK, giving this one last bump and then heading to bed. Same thing as last night, if it dies I'll just make a new thread on Thursday, if not, I'll reply to any new posts in the morning.

hump hump

Bump

to page one with you.

bumping for justice.

Not exactly the topic of the moment, huh?

Bumparoni.

Ideas for events I had:

Sometime in spring Lily White comes to your farm and damages your crop with danmaku.The player will have to fend her off then with a hammer.

Fishing contest at Misty Lake.

Tea parties at SDM.
Actually in Grand Bazar such a event exists.
The player is in charge of bringing tea leafs for the whole town.

Also:
OP what are your plans for the fieldwork?
Are you going to do it like in Friends of Mineral Town or are you going to try the new system of Grand Bazar?
Or maybe come up with something completly new?

>>7162589
The games I have in mind right now are Harvest Moon 64 and Harvest Moon DS(and the rune factory games sorta). Never played Grand Bazaar, actually. Should I check it out?

>>7162643
Yes it's great.
Also try out Friends of Mineral Town.
Harvest Moon DS is a piece of shit compared to this.

[Spoiler]but that's just my opinion[/spoiler]

>>7162648
I've played Friends of Mineral Town, I liked it as much as I liked 64 and DS! Also, my opinion.

But yeah, I love Harvest Moon games, so I will check that out.

I remember loving the gameboy advance version of harvest moon (friends of mineral town?) along with the 64 and GC versions. Where do I go from there? Are there any newer harvest moon games which are actually worth playing?

Will this be open source?
This would really lower the barrier to contribute to the project (which could be good or bad...)

Bump.
>>7162706
People say A Wonderful Life (Gamecube) was good. I personally didn't like do x by y or it is a game over.

>>7162931
That's a possibility. I'll bring that up and try to let you know tomorrow.

>>7162991
I started back then with Back to Nature and loved it.
Obviously I loved Friends of Mineral town then too cos it's a (good) remake.
I was abit disappointed about A wonderful live then because the farming sucked and it was sort of boring sometimes.
Then I had high hopes for HMDS and I hoped that this game would give me back my faith in the Harvest Moon games.
I got really disappointed though when I noticed that it is a really really bad remake of A wonderful life.(The npc acted like they knew me already,almost no introduction,and even the shops in the town were useless.Shortly after startting the game I found the event where 2 children were talking to each other and was surprised to see moonrunes.Obviously someone messed up there big time.After this I dropped this game.)
I expected Grand Bazar to be shitty again but......I think it's a worthy successor with lots of good new ideas.

>>7162706

Didn't care for the fact in Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands you HAD to talk with every town's person every day or your relationship with them wouldn't be high enough to complete the game.

Bump
Are you planing to add incidents which will prevent the player from leaving the house such as red mist or snowstorms?

>>7163299
Snowstorms, yeah. Red mist...I dunno. Maybe.

My favorite was the snes one. Broken game yes but still fun. Also it was the first one I played. Going back to play it again.

...Oh my god. I hope something comes of this. I'm actually a spritefag. I'd rather not publish my identity yet, though.

>>7163627
I can help out a bit with advisory work, touch-ups to sprites, and general artistic do's/don'ts. As long as we keep it simple 2D graphics and no awesome spectacular 3D graphics, anyway.

I have free time for the foreseeable future.

>>7163604
was there a Harvest Moon game that wasn't broken?

>>7163627
>>7163637
You would be useful, and filling the last position I'm not entirely sure about. If you want to help out, please send me an email. If you can, I'd also like to see a sample of your work.

bump

This is beautiful. If any character artwork that isn't sprites is needed, such as dialogue, I'll be happy to help.

By the way, I think that there should be some kind of Runefactory dungeon system involved.

Examples:
Scarlet Mansion
Hell - General
Sunflower field
Makai

>>7164119
I probably do not need you, but feel free to send me an email. Samples of your work are nice!

Thanks for the interest, anyhow!

Also, those are good ideas. I don't know about SDM, but hell, sunflower field, and makai would work just fine I think.

>>7164119
Perhaps something like this:
First dungeon: Forest of Magic
Second Sunflower field
Third: Netherworld
Fourth: Makai
Fifth: Hell

an attempt at reisen

>>7164603

I first thought she was a zombie who was holding both her arms up with that red eye and all...
It looks quite nice, though

Or if hotglue was behind it, you hope that whoever did it was at least smart enough to stay behind 7 proxies so they don't get caught. Why isn't there a fan-made harvest-moonish game set in gensokyo? It's obvious that we should pool our knowledge. Let's be serious here, there are a boat load of fan made games and some of them are pretty good.

>>7164603
It needs a bit of work, but I see potential.

Forgot to throw arms on her fixed it but yes i agree i need to put more work into it but for now just a rough draft

>>7164680
Send me an email, if you don't mind, so I have a way of getting in contact with you.

Bumping this and heading to bed, I'll check the thread in the morning.

Random bump for anyone who might be interested.

I still say this is fucking brilliant

Hey OP , can i help you ? the idea is just...its like its CALLING me

let me join bro

Is there any way I could help? I really really love Harvest Moon(And touhou), so I'd love to be able to work on this! Sadly my only real skill is artwork, and that position seems to be filled. I could also do some writing.

Wondering, are you guys gonna do colored hearts(Black to red, or whatever it was) like in the old games, or numbered hearts(So-and-so having 1 - 10 hearts) system that's in the newer games? I personally like the numbered hearts more.

>>7163059
FoMT is my personal favourite since it was more or less the pinnacle of the 'base' formula, but Isle of Happiness/Sunshine Islands had a very nice crop system with the variable sun/water. As much as it was a PITA that your income became more linked with the fickleness of the weather, it was a heck a lot more interesting than just water every day, and don't need to water when it's raining etc... Flip side to rain is that too much rain and the crops could very well be ruined


The sheer fact that the setting is Gensokyo means that.... interesting things... can happen to the days and seasons themselves as part of an 'event'. eg: all of a sudden, Spring doesn't tick over and you're stuck in Winter day 43 and your feed reserves for your animals are running low... hopefully you've buttered up Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya otherwise you may need to wait a little longer... or perhaps if you're in their good books the whole mess would have been over already.

>>7165326
Heroine Date Scene: Team up and solve an incident together!

>>7165326

My personal favorite games are the Wii games, Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade. I love everything about those two, the farming is great, the animals are great, the mining and fishing is great. The silly little story quests they give you arent so bad either. The characters are really my favorite thing about it, there's a huge variety and I feel like they have a lot more depth than the characters in previous installments. Even the non-marriage candidates are interesting.

I really recommend giving either one a try, if you have the chance. A lot of people seem to ignore them for some reason.

Not sure if it has already been suggested, but have Nitori as the tool upgrader? I like the idea of Rinnosuke as the shop person (because honestly, no one else fits the role) but I think it'd be a stretch for him to be both and it also paves the way for her romance (if she is at all) bonuses of cheaper/faster/better tool upgrades.

>>7165788
Or the crazy kappa that you throw cucumbers at for power berries. Or maybe both.

I ponder if this game will ever have a Kourin route.

>>7165175
Welllll, what do you think you could help with?

>>7165268
Go ahead and write up a dialogue sample, if you're interested, and send me an email.

>>7165325
I like colored hearts, but it's up for discussion.

>>7165788
Didn't even think of this, very good idea!

>>7165978
I plan on it. But later. At first he'll just be the general store guy.

>>7165978
I hope so since I like to roll both ways

What will be the name of this project?
May I suggest "Touhou:Lunatic Harvest"?

>>7166170
I don't have a name for it yet. I have a domain registered, and a placeholder webpage up, but I won't link it yet since it's still being worked on.

bump

>>7165957
Not OP but this idea is nice.
You throw cucumbers into the lake at youkai mountain and in exchange she will appear and upgrade your stuff

>did you drop a silver cucumber or a golden one?

>I dropped my heart, but you found it.

http://www.touhoumoon.net

There you go.

Have another update. It's mostly stuff I've already said. Oh well.

I have three programmers. One is about to graduate(about a month and a half) with a bachelor's in Computer Science, another one is a friend of mine who I know knows his shit, and the other is an interested /jp/er.

I have an interested artist, whose work I quite like.

I have two or three people interested in sprite work, I haven't decided who to go with on that though.

I have a guy interested in music who is supposed to have a sample ready for me today or tomorrow, not completely sure about that since I've only gotten one email from him, so if you're interested please email me! Samples are great!

I have two or three people interested in writing(not including me), only received one sample, which was quite good.

I think that's it for team members...

Next, features!

Most of the features and ideas I and people on /jp/ have had and discussed are not set in stone yet, so feel free to say you hate things.

1. The game is set to be built from the ground up using C++, using Direct X as the display engine, and compiling in Microsoft Visual C++ for the best windows compatibility available.

2. The game will include a small set of Touhou characters to begin with, but will include others after the game has at least reached a beta version. I made the decision that the original group will be the EoSD girls, the personal favorite of each of the members of the team, and whoever we have doing a special job(for instance Rinnosuke as the general store proprietor and Nitori as the Item upgrader. I'm thinking that they'll be in the game and have dialogue, just not relationship dialogue yet?).

3. The player will be able to choose between 2 characters: a generic male and a generic female character that they can name.

4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvX_oNaOWd8 This is the style I'm looking for, for the game world. Making it 3D or shit like that isn't really important to have fun with this, I think. Feel free to disagree, but it'll take a bit of work to change my mind. This seems like the most efficient way to do this.

5. I have lots of ideas from /jp/ers, but I will save those for later after I've thrown them at the lead programmer and my harvest moon expert(yeah I called him a harvest moon expert, deal w/ it).

6. We are going to build this from the ground up, no sprite swaps from a previous Harvest Moon game.

7. Minoriko Aki will be the Harvest Goddess, Yukari will be the Witch Princess.

I probably missed something, but the next update will be soon anyhow.

>>7166640
> Direct X
Use something a little less platform dependent. I say it as a linux user but I'm sure that there's bound to be a macfag or two who would appreciate it. If you write good clean code, it should be compilable on any platform.

>>7166658
I'll make sure to bring that up to the lead programmer when he wakes up.

Please use sdl, opengl and gcc. You'll be able to compile it on linux and mac as well this way. Not to mention that for this kind of project python or other language like that would be better.

>>7166658
What language would you suggest though?
C++ is probably what they're already most comfortable with

>>7166702
He would be better with SFML instead of SDL at this point if the language is C++.

>EoSD girls
can't say I'm pleased with this as they're so overused in doujin works, but it's probably the most surefire choice. Let's hope someone in the staff likes one of my favorite characters or two.
I'm cheering for the project, godspeed.

>>7166711
you don't need much performance, so it would be best to use something easy and pleasant to write in with a lot of builtin features. I'd advise python, but you can just as well use lua, ruby or whatever else strikes your fancy.
btw i'm not that guy, but i'm a programmer as well.

Honestly, this.

It seems that every doujin game has the EoSD cast. I can understand why but it doesn't make me very happy. If you did a proof of concept first with, say, 5 different touhous from the different groups that would be much better. Then you can worry about whole subfactions and their environments. Getting the base like the engine and scripting is more important, no?

Oh and OpenGL + SDL, SFML (better for C++) or something cross-platform friendly like that would be nice.

How about we have Medicine Melancholy as a major love interest?

Who?

>>7166910
The plan is to get a working beta with a few girls first, then in the future, EVERYONE.

Update for you guys, I talked to the lead programmer. He's ok with using something else, but I need to make sure the other two actually know shit about it before I say "Yeah we'll do that". The programmer from here hasn't replied to my email yet and I have no other way of reaching him at the moment, and the other guy I know is on his way home right now, so I should know what he thinks soon.

Another update about the programming, 2 of them say we're programming in C++ with OpenGL for mac/Linux compatibility and compiling for all of them. #3 still hasn't emailed me back.

She could "work" with Yuuka, selling seeds for the player.

I thought about player having computer, if the story will follow >>7157859

Player could get broken one from Kourin and get Nitori to repair it. When done, he could:
- Browse Hatate's blog for informations like TV (opposed to getting them from Bunbunmaru as >>7158629 wrote), which could start her events in the future.

- Burn time on the internet for loss of time and fatigue. Also in future versions Kaguya could be met (if you're fond of her being hikki fanon)

- "Ask /jp/ about <character X>". It would have a chance for giving you knowledge about where character spends time, what does she like or, varying details on where and when you can get her event, if her affection level is enough for it to happen. Also possibility to get banned and make it impossible to check it for some time.

>>7167304
Make only one marriable character, release rest as Day 1 DLC.

>>7167323
Get the fuck out of here and never come back.

>"Ask /jp/ about <character X>"
>It would have a chance for giving you knowledge

I see you're not particularly striving for realism there.

>>7167304
Well I really did like that idea, so I suppose I could go with that. I don't know about the /jp/ and kaguya being a neet thing though, not sure I like that.

>>7167372
>>7167304
Oh, I did like the idea about Hatate though!

>>7167323
You sound like someone with a well-paid job.

Hey guys I'm not going to contribute anything and just watch from the sidelines. Just wanted to let you know.

>>7167304
Or ask satori about <character X>. Since satori can read minds and it wouldn't break the 4th wall. Just make it so she has a computer, just like hatate, and others would.

The computer could also come as a home upgrade from Rinnosuke.

>>7167486
Well, the most realistic thing would be that characters themselves or ones related to them would sometimes say it, when their affection gets high enough. I just thought that maybe some effort spent to get computer could be rewarded with that.

Chance of getting informations could be low, like 5%, and could be used once per day (so, statistically, once per 20 days). Getting misinformed would be to harsh for chance that small. In case you didn't have luck, information "they're obviously trolling you" could appear, nothing more.

IRC is up.

Sometimes you wish the good anime like fate and seacats and the tsukihime would get visual novels, but it seems the only things that get visual novels are those dumb generic ones that are about getting girls to like me, why would me even want a 2D girlfriend.

>- "Ask /jp/ about <character X>".

"Hey, /jp/, where does this Sanae girl hang ou--"

"SHE'S A SLUT, RIGHT?"
"SLUT."

Loololo Sanae is a slut xd. My dick is a slut.

I know nothing worthwhile will probably ever result from this thread but I just want to let you know this is the greatest idea ever and the only reason I wake up in the morning now.

You guys better make a new thread soon, it's going on autosage. About 8 more bumps.

Is there any way I could put my name in as an alpha/beta tester? I can't really contribute much because I'm busy with other projects, but I'd love to play in progress builds. I haven't played much Harvest Moon, so I guess I don't have much of a bias. Not sure if that's a good thing. Also:

>Resien as a love interest.
Excellent. Cole train to the sexy bunny is a go.

>>7168070
/jp/ will be the first to know(after our own site naturally) when we start stuff like that, so stay tuned.

Bumping this then going to bed.

>>7168567
I think this was the first post after the bump limit

>>7169228
>>7169485
Yes I think you are right, and so I guess I'll make a new thread!
