Mura DLC #4 and #5, and Classic 4-col Comic | Posted at 06:41 PM 26 January 2018
Happy Farm'n Friday! The peonies planted last fall are beginning to sprout along with the tulips and narcissus. Spring will be here soon! The average night temperature has been in the low 40s °F (~6 °C), though this zone still has a chance of frost until April 15. So far the black/purple carrots are this year's unique crop, but I'm hoping to find something else exceptional to grow. Jicama looks to need hotter temps, and last year's tomatillos and watermelons were disappointing... though the pickled watermelon turned out rather sweet! Don't forget there's only two more days to pick up the iOS/Android mobile game, Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, for 50% off! The sale ends on the 28th.

Mura+ DLC 4 and 5

DLC #4 came out on the 18th for 100 Yen, adding the Bananya cat as a character in the game. It's suppose to appear as you visit houses and shops, but for me it hasn't appeared at all. Perhaps another requirement is needed before it appears. Dangit kitty cat, where areee yooouuuuu? The Basket de Gohan DLC, the last announced addition to Futago no Mura+ (#5), was released on the 23rd. It costs another 100 Yen and requires 2 blocks of SD space. This time it is the penguin Ginpe who is added to the game. Ginpe appears in the game when walking up to the top of the mountain from Bluebell High-Mountain. The little penguin is excited to see the pond by the festival grounds and jumps in and out of it. Of course, tossing something into the pond at the top of the mountain will summon the Harvest Goddess, who makes an appearance and quickly realizes it wasn't an offering that went into her pond. The Harvest Goddess will ask why the penguin is here. He tells her that he was separated from his friends, Sanpe and Cheza, and is now lost. Sanpe and Cheza are also penguins from the zoo. They were tired of their everyday lives and decided to venture out to see the world. HG wants to see the zoo, but her goddess duties means she has to stay put. Ginpe gets an idea and asks if the Harvest Goddess can locate his missing friends. HG then volunteers you for the task; the issue is that Ginpe can't talk directly to humans, so she's asking you for help in his place. The missing friends must be around the mountain somewhere, and she'll give you a Gold Ore as thanks for helping. Since you can't talk to Ginpe, he'll just hang out by the pond until you find his friends. Now it's up to the player to locate the other two penguins. I've found Sanpe so far, who was by the waterfall in Konohana Mid-Mountain. Haven't found Cheza yet, but it's only a matter of time!
