I'm starting to have a bit more time to properly focus on drawing again, so I decided to draw this comic as a warm up~

I think the reason I like the collectathon nature of HMDS/Cute, Sunshine Islands, and Magical Melody is that they encourage you to go out and do a bunch of random things, only some of which are related to the farm.

Giving this person enough gifts gives you a Sun Stone? Let's start giving out more gifts!

You freed a Harvest Sprite by buying a drink at the bar? What happens if you buy things from other places, or eat a bunch of other things?

You get a note for not going in buildings for ten hours? Well, it talks about what the weather is... maybe do it again?

It's great. Gives you a reason right from the start to do as much exploration as possible. Will convince people to do something stupid over and over in the hopes of getting results this time.

Ooohh for the warmup doodles, maybe Tale of Teo Towns? :] Or Island of Happiness/Sunshine Islands!

thank you so much for the suggestion, reese!!

georgia and mikhail are definitely my favorite marriage candidates from tott. and i actually haven't played ioh or si yet, but basing off their events, i think denny and sabrina would be right up my alley!

Is there anyone who knows more about Flash than me who can have a look at the old Sunshine Islands site? The homepage works with an emulator but none of the buttons do :( I'm guessing that means it's broken but if anyone knows if there's a chance the rest of the site is still accessible somehow please let me know!

I'M KICKING MY LITTLE FEETIES!!

Earlier this year, I commissioned @owls-den to draw my favorite HM/SoS crackship. Vaughn/Gwen was a ship from my old HMML days with @jake-marshall. For a couple of years, the ship was only a tickle at the back of my brain BUT THEN WE STARTED RECONNECTING AND I REALIZED "OH, I STILL LOVE THIS SHIP." Ship aside, I was actually burning out from the game series thanks to my obsessive playing/completion of the FoMT remake before the AWL remake came out. Talking to jake-marshall helped restore that love for the series and I really needed to get back into a healthy relationship with the game(s).

TL;DR Gwen's more violent than him. Vaughn keeps her from doing anything dumb.

Also, if you knew me from the HMML days, no you don't. I'm not the same person I was back then but I hope you're doing good in life.

hm island of happiness? everyone from that game was so cute

Denny!! It's been a very long time since I've played Island of Happiness and I don't think I've actually tried to woo this man but he's my favorite because he has a bird and I am a fan of birds, he's also super cute, I really love his hair

Reasons Every DS Harvest Moon Game Could Use a Remake

DS/Cute: Collectathons in general have been immensely underserved, and this one is even a life sim with other things to do! Also it’d be nice to have a version of this game that isn’t inclined to delete every NPC from your save file if you look at it funny.

Island of Happiness: But, like, could you imagine if this game had an actually functional control scheme?

Sunshine Islands: Another collectathon, this one not closely related to something that was remade recently. Also has an interesting hidden skill-progression system.

Grand Bazaar: This game is so niche that despite owning a copy I still have to actively remind myself that it’s real. Which is a shame, the bazaar system is fun. I bet a lot of people don’t even know Dirk and Amir debuted here.

Tale of Two Towns: Look, it’s on two systems already. Why not expand that a little more?
