What would be your dream farm sim game?

I really wish that they had pushed Rune Factory further.

Lime-scented soap, huh?

It would be a more mature in tone and setting Rune Factory but not overly so, with rivals and even characters that dislike each other and you are able to ruin marriages but there has to be consequences, i'm working on a game like that but mostly as a hobby as i don't have the free time to focus on it. Now about RF, i usually dislike lolis but what the fuck was the ending of RF4? not only it was rushed but the one character which the MC cares about the most is not marriable? and then you make a short powerpoint presentation about the mc marrying that character instead of putting it in the fucking game? WHAT THE FUCK?

yes. It was lining up to be the perfect farming sim with combat, farming and relationship. They just couldn't pull their shit together despite stardew valley basically handing them the formula.

HM Animal Parade with

> anime style
> face portraits
> more festivals
> all the domestic animals return
> all previously introduced crops return
> keep the hybrid system from HM One World but also the merge system from HM AWL
> NO GAY MARRIAGE BUT if it needs to be added make characters that are exclusively gay or lesbians, don't make every character bi because that ruins dialogue making all of them hit on your character as their affection goes up
> Bigger world. Make separate towns so you can decide where to live with your wife but be able to move or travel to other towns. HM One World did it kind of well, but their world is soulless.
> Focus and build every NPC dialogue unique enough depending how much affection they have.
> More random event. In the case of Bachelors/Bachelorettes make 1 event per heart increase like RF Oceans
> Your children should all at least be able to reach teenagehood. And all rival children should also reach teenagehood.
> Villager can change their clothing and look older (like in AWL)
> They can release additional packages to keep the game alive like new events, items or costumes through DLC.

I don't care about changing RF too much, they were in good route until they screw it with RF 5.

Serious question. At what point does a farming sim become and open world game? Where is the line dividing them?

I love my pretty wife, Dolce! I want to be with her forever and ever!

Hard to say. I think when people talk about an "open world game" they have a size in mind of how big the main map should be. But I don't think that the size are part of the equation for everyone. I would consider any game where the whole map is "Technically" open to you like in Zelda BoTW is an open world game even if there are restrictions based on your character. Sorry I don't think there's a line of when where an open world game begins.

It's time to move on, user.

My Time at Portia, but with cute animu girls instead of these abominations.

Is like RF but all the monsters are monster girls and you can marry your monsters.

RF4 is free bro.

There's nothing that says a farm sim couldn't be open world, if the farm building aspect was given a lot of focus and you went out into the world primarily to find things to improve your farm. Like maybe there could be some special seeds out in the world you could find which would grow magic crops.

I was actually trying to make a game like harvest moon/ story of seasons but set on the moon.
I started doing the character sprites then I stopped because I'm a brainlet and couldn't get the engine to work, and I tried 3 different ones.

Make it in RPG maker, can't fuck that one up.

elaborate?

100% discount in selected internet pages.

RF4 with the shop-running mechanics expanded a bit
Could possibly sprinkle in the individual crop characteristics from HM (as in instead of a crop just being level 2 they'll have levels for appearance/taste/etc)
That is all I ask

I hate open worlds so much it's unreal and games where it's not suited need to stop shoehorning them in and sacrificing their content for them. If a game is farm focused an open world would just make it miserable.

Atmosphere of HM AWL
Better villagers and romance of RF
Everything else SDV

Drop combat and dungeon crawling.
Include hunting instead.
Allow me to specialize my farm in different areas, like using your own product to cook, you open a restaurant in the evenings, or a bar if you make wine or other alcohols.
Polygamy.
Make children more than just objects, let them grow up, let me educate and train them in the family business and give them jobs to do.
Generally, with the same job system, let me hire farmhands for stuff I don't want to do myself.

>Polygamy.

I thought rpg maker was trash.
I tried unity, unreal and lumberyard

RPG maker is trash but is the only trash that might make your game work if you are a codelet.

PIRATE IT YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER

I want more dinamics like tornados,orc armies, earthquakes and monsters trying to fuck my farm.

Yes?
Why do you want all that money for? Getting at least 3 wives who helps you in farm and the kids is a must.

Here are your marriage candidates, bro.

For all the villagers to be romanceable monsters. Like a fallout deathclaw-style monster, a goo girl, a skinwalker, a fox person, etc. Gay and straight. Male MC only. You'd be the lone human, transplanted as part of a human/monster exchange to improve relations.
I'd pretty much directly steal FFVII (1997) combat and world exploration. Make an actual JRPG that travels around the world, with some kind of system that automates your crops when you're gone.
How you do (farming) and the choices you make (in the JRPG portion) determine the events and completely alter the ending, from relations breaking down and all-out war decimating both sides before a third party finishes everyone off, to the golden canon ending where you forge a deep bond between both sides and you come together as mixed units, completely curbstomping the third party as they shit and piss themselves in terror, with an after credits scene of you and your love interest embracing while your halfbreed spawn play on your farmhouse porch.
Oh, also, one of your limit breaks is summoning Stukas to dive bomb the enemy, whistle included.

Nah. If I wanted to pirate it I would have already.

Can you explain the merge system/hybrid system?

I've been trying to wrap my head around a farming game like these games but with online multiplayer and it just doesn't seem to work unless you scrap the "go to sleep, wait until next day" loop of things and instead just attach all the growing to a timer, because it really strips down player agency and forces players to always be in sync which kind of sucks.

When you drop the discrete day increments though you miss out on the benefits of it, and also it becomes more stressful to deal with things like crop death and such.

Fuck multiplayer. No game can be comfy with multiplayer.

Valheim is comfy with multiplayer and so is minecraft.

Both those are significantly less comfy with other people mucking about.

Yes. I see you are a pedo.

Palia is the only upcoming farm sim that I know about.
