i love harvest moon

Inktobers #7-8! The environments in harvest moon are so calming…

Something that fascinates me about games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, or really any sim games with no real ending, is something I like to call “The Existential Crisis Threshold.”

Like the point in the game where you’ve done it all, collected everything, and the game loses it’s luster, and you just sort of… give up. You stare at your little avatar, and he stares back at you, and you can almost hear the thoughts swirling in his fevered brain, all like…

 “I’ve done it all Takakura. I’ve rebuilt my father’s farm with these two hands, married the love of my life, raised a family. I’m a pillar of the community, beloved by all…

AND WHAT DOES IT MATTER TAKAKURA? WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR? EVERY DAY IS AN UNENDING CYCLE OF MONOTONY. MY WIFE HAS SPOKEN THE SAME WORDS TO ME EVERY DAY FOR FIVE YEARS. THERE ARE NO CHALLENGES LEFT TAKAKURA! NO FISH I CANNOT CATCH, NO HOE I CANNOT CRAFT, NO COW I CANNOT MILK! I HAVE MORE MONEY THAN A MAN CAN SPEND. MORE TURNIPS THAN A MAN CAN EAT. AND NONE OF IT BRINGS ME HAPPINESS. 

Sometimes I wish I could tear it all apart. Go back to the ignorance of my youth”

“You don’t mean that kid…”

“Don’t I…?”

Of course Harvest Moon a Wonderful Life isn’t exactly the best example. After many long, dreary years of toil, the game does end.

Y’know, with your death.

tbh though the most relatable harvest moon character is the harvest goddess because she sealed herself away in stone when people stopped appreciating her and it’s like… same, girl

In the Harvest Moon fandom, we don’t say “I love you,” we just throw food at the people we like and I think that’s beautiful.

me: *throws an entire pineapple into lake* i wish to speak with the harvest goddess

park ranger: maam this is private property you need to leave

HARVEST MOON: MAGICAL MELODY RAINBOW VERSION

I’ve been sick all week so instead of resting I fulfilled a childhood dream and put together a patch that allows players to choose to marry the same gender in the gamecube game Harvest Moon: Magical Melody !! There’s a few other games with hacks like this, but Magical Melody was a big part of my childhood, so I really hoped I could make this someday. and, today is that someday?? thanks

Turning on a harvest moon game after an extened period of time:

Only Harvest Moon players understand the sheer joy of waking up in the game and going outside to find it’s raining. It is a joy like no other.
