Happy Farm'n Friday! Mr.Fogu has been showing me his monster-seed farm added in this season of Path of Exile, and even sent me a picture of his "crops." It's definitely not the kind of farm I would have expected.
He seems to be doing pretty well! He's still skeptical about enjoying "farming" in his game, but the other day I watched him design a grid to optimize his crop placements. I think he's getting into the groove. Planting monster seeds and then harvesting the monster-dropped crystals is a little bit different than growing a turnip. I'm impressed that he's happily farm'n!
Tuesday was the digital New Games Plus Expo live streaming event. During the one-hour showcase event, Natsume showed some in-development gameplay of their latest entry in the Harvest Moon series.
The rough gameplay video showed the protagonists running through some of the areas where different shops and villagers lived. Even some of the farm animals were showcased in the video. The protagonist runs much smoother than in Light of Hope, and a bit faster too. There were some villagers present, though there were neither character portraits nor conversation dialog aired during the NGPX showcase. Hmm... I didn't see Doc anywhere...
The towns also had shops, and the tropical town had a cafe and fruit-drink carts. One of the carts had a broken wheel and looked in disrepair; maybe we help fix it up? And who is the lady with the large yellow backpack and green outfit?
The not-final footage was pretty interesting. Excited to see how the final game ends up!
Today, starting at 5:00 pm Pacific time, XSeed Games will be live streaming an unboxing of the new Story of Seasons Nintendo Switch game, showcasing gameplay and giving out prizes to stream attendees. You can catch it live later today on XSeed's Twitch channel:
