Hi everyone, it's been ages since i've done anything on my 64D page…not since I uploaded Eat Lead as a WIP I guess.

Well right now Eat Lead is almost wrapped up but I've also tried tackling a new project: Harvest Moon.

Since it's such an awesome game with simple yet fun gameplay, I thought it might be a fun idea to try imitate on gamemaker, you know, just to keep learning and training my gamemaking skills (which aren't extremely good at the moment!).

This is a screenshot of where it currently stands:

So far the character can walk, pick up items and throw them down and use five tools, with the farmland being able to be ploughed and watered. And before I have people interrogating me, yes the sprites are ripped from the original Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town game, which I will credit in the case of publishing.

Do you guys think this is an okay idea or should i scrap it before I have all Hell behind me while making it?

Since I've never done anything remotely close to RPG, I am quite sure I will have problems while making…but I guess that's why we have forums like 64D to help each other out. If it's a bad idea, anyone have a small game idea or example idea they'd like to share to give me something to do?

Grr. School starts in one week and I still haven't done most of my holiday work! Better get started…

Nah, no need to ask if you should continue on your project. Just stick with it until you get bored. Like us. All. Almost all.

Ah, kurt69 was trying a Harvest Moon Online project. Unfortunately, he and I didn't get far before he gave up or postponed work.

I say do it. I love Harvest Moon games. If you can make this any good, I'll be your first player.

No, you mean all.

Harvest Moon is great, and the Friends of Mineral town graphics make me want to play a dating sim. (There were several though processes inbetween, but meh)
