Seeds Of Memories Developer Diary

 

 

While the Harvest Moon series has been one that is mostly associated with Nintendo, the series has dabbled in mobile gaming before and the latest game in the series doing the same. Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories is now available to download on iOS platforms, and a new launch trailer has been released for the game that you can check out at the bottom of this post.

 

While there are several things to do, Harvest Moon veterans will probably exhaust Seeds Of Memories in much less time than previous games. You can probably complete the main objective in around ten hours, though I suspect a newcomer will get a lot more time out of the game as they learn the ropes of running a farm. That's not bad, but you should know coming in that you won't be getting Quite as much content or depth as in earlier games, even those as far back as the Game Boy installments. It's good enough, and it's better than The Lost Valley, but it's still not quite on the same level as the real Harvest Moon games yet.

 

Taking cues from the original Harvest Moon on Super Nintendo, Seeds of Memories will place a heavy emphasis on befriending villagers within the game, thus unlocking the titular items. Imbued with a tangible sense of nostalgia, Natsume is aiming to create a Harvest Moon experience that is at once a callback to the best tenets of the series all the while introducing novel new features.

 

Planned features for the final game, including farming, dating, getting married, and having a kid weren't implemented at all yet. Terraforming won't be making a return. There was one other screen available to walk around, with signs pointing to a farm to the east (it's not built yet) and a mountain to the north (it's not built yet).
