* Sirus pointedly ignores the brewing derail

Still looking forward to this thing, personally. A lot of the actual Harvest Moon games are for consoles I don't own and can't afford, so it's nice to see something that can (hopefully) run on this old computer

Yeah, I actually think I'd be really into this if the sprites were a little bit more... dunno, distinguished?  The romance possibilities look really cool, actually!

[Sirus]

Looking a bit more closely at the most recent update, gotta say I heartily approve of the taller character sprites. They look less like Pokemon characters that way

http://stardewvalley.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/lineup.png These are what the player and NPC sprites look like now. A great improvement. =)

Also, Stardew is almost on it's way to hitting the top 10 to go to E3. =D Around 60 more votes would do it. http://indiescrashe3.com/nomination/6783988F-4793-8D2F-74C9-A232FA59176D

Oh, good... that actually doesn't look bad.

// UPDATE //

Best news first:
Stardew Valley has been Greenlit!

Thanks to all the fans who voted for Stardew Valley on Steam!
Together we made it happen!

Now back to some current changes and gorgeous screenshots:

If you haven't noticed yet: a lot of sprites including the characters have been remade from scratch:


This allows for cool character customization.


New character portraits:


Interior and houses:








And the whole changelog from the website:

Completely redrawn, taller Player Character and NPC’s.

• Player Character customization (As shown in Mini Dev Update #2), clothing, and hats.
  Redrew nearly everything in the mines, and raised the height of the mine “diggable walls” to fit the taller character.
  Added several new types of mine level (some with suspension bridges spanning across deep ravines).
  Redesigned and redrew much of the exterior landscapes, including some better looking buildings (not completely finished), taller cliffs, trees, flowers, and a few little touches here and there. (Screenshot below)
  NPC portraits, each with at least 4 expressions. (not entirely finished, but staying on schedule)
  Intro sequence (not really related to graphics but I did it anyway). The intro is part cutscene, part interactive, and include a couple of new country ditties. I will eventually add the option to skip it altogether.
  Redrew and redesigned nearly every interior in the game.

This thing just keeps looking better and better. Here's hoping for a playable demo soon so we can see if the rest of it is as good.

Posting to watch. Why are the games that I want are always not out yet?!

no demo will be made but you can watch some dev gameplay videos

Just added more infos to the first forum post. Linked to the newest trailer, included the FAQ, put new pictures up and added more links.

[Maldevious]

Definitely a former Harvest Moon addict. Watching this with interest.

Sorry to kinda dig this out of the back of the forum, but looking at the dev's page there's been some nice updates posted. Now it's looking like not only a Harvest Moon-type game, but with some Rune Factory with the dungeons.

Also you can BUTCHER animals! Something I know some HM fans have been wanting. BACON

Stardew is indeed coming along nicely. I will likely buy two copies. I know someone else that will enjoy it.

I've been excited ever since I found out about this game. I've been wanting to play a Harvest Moon style game on the PC for a long time.

I know what you mean.
I'm even a bit more excited after digging in suggestions a bit, and it seems same-sex marriage is going to be a thing.

I didn't mean the "For Girls" versions of HM, but then I always felt peeved that I lock myself out of parts of the game, since I didn't want to marry anyone. I liked the bachelorettes, and the only one that had same-sex marriage (Best Friend system) had it cut from the US release without any announcement.
