The Ushi No Tane websites specialize in information, FAQs, and guides about the Nintendo console versions of the Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Legend of the River King video games. These game genres are created and published in Japan by Marvelous (JP).

The website is not officially affiliated, sponsored, endorsed, or employed by the developers of Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, or River King. This is simply a fan site.

Light of Hope PC Release

Harvest Moon: Light of Hope was released on the Steam video game platform on Tuesday. The game requires 599 MB of hard drive space and costs $29.99, though it is discounted 10% for its release. The game supports Steam achievements (28 of them) and Steam trading cards. If you don't want to play the game using a keyboard, it also supports PC compatible wireless controllers. So far it seems to be a cute game from what I've had the time to play so far since Tuesday. Intern Boo had some unexpected health issues that took most of my after-work free time this week, but he seems to be getting better. While he's resting, I'll be able to spend some time playing the latest Harvest Moon game. So far I've fixed a couple of houses and planted some cabbage, but I have yet to meet the magnificent silver fox, Doc. I will get to you eventually, you wild and craaaaazy guy... There's an interesting article about the release of Natsume's first PC release over on PCGamer.com. President Hiro, Producer Taka (make Doc a marriage candidate, dangit!), and the VPO Markay talk a bit about the split with Marvelous, their 16-year history with the Bokumono series, the feedback they received on their previous in-house developed games, and what they hope to accomplish with their recent release.
