Welcome To Harvest Moon : A New Wonderful Life!


This is only an alpha version of my map I made. It is Harvest Moon : A New Wonderful Life. Anyways, a quick introduction. Hello, I'm JustinDaniels, A.K.A. Justin Daniels :) ... and I am only 16, but I plan on growing up in the video game designing career. Enough about ME though. I know what you all came to this post for, and that, my friend, is Harvest Moon!



As a child you were raised and cared for by your dad. He was a loving dad, who was always helping the people in Goldenfall Valley, as well as his wonderful family. He was a farmer who lived in a simple house, made of simple wood, and a Haystack Roof... but at least he had electricity. Then came the years of college, and you knew what you wanted for a future... you wanted to be a farmer and help your dad, as he was elderly when you went to college. As the years passed by, things were going great. You were able to call your family as much as needed... but then one day came, and your dad didn't answer the phone... and that day turned into a week, then finally, you received a call from the mayor of Goldenfall Valley... your dad passed away a week ago... so right away, you went from the college back to Goldenfall Valley... and there was a silence in the place. It was not the same as when you were little. There was a funeral being held at the church. You knew instantly... it was your dad's funeral. As you opened the doors, the church came to a sudden hush. Everyone saw the fear and pain in your eyes, as you saw your dad's body in the coffin. You walked up to his corpse, and said with tears in your eyes, " The farm must live. I will take the place, and I will make you," As you looked into the air, "Proud of me." Suddenly, a light came from the window. The frowns turned into cheer, as the people of the town knew you were just like your father... loyal and caring. Now, you must take the farm, and live... A New Wonderful Life...


The story is still a work in progress... but if you like it, please let me know. I need to know what stays, and what goes. Anyways, Thank you all for reading, but now I think it's time to play. :) . Have fun!!!

Remember!!! This game is still in Early EARLY Alpha, probably 0.01 version of the game... so It's mostly here just to demonstrate all I did so far. :) . Thank you all for your interests in my game. If you have any questions, statements, suggestions, guides, I'm all ears! If you like my game so far, just remember, that this is only the beginning of what's to come.
I would like to thank the entire Youtube community for the tutorials that they showed for the camera and such.


Arrow Keys will move your character, but it is still glitchy, so I would use it only if you have problems with the mouse, such as the camera being inside a building. If you exit some buildings, remember to tap the up button after you make it outside, because if you right click while the camera is in the building's model, your character will turn around and go back inside it. So if you have trouble, then try that method to unstick your character. Also, I don't have instructions in the game yet... so I suggest listening closely to these guides. :
1) To get seeds (Lumber) You must go to the seed shop ( The building next to the tent in the town area. ) Don't buy the fruit yet, because they are just there for my future update, which will be health depletion and such.
2) Not all buildings can be entered yet. They will be later on, though :) .
3) If you are entering the garden area, I would HIGHLY suggest you use the mouse to go past the gate, as it can be a real pain in the butt to try moving inside the farm by arrow keys.
4) Ensure that the volume is not too high, but you have a dog outside your farm, and if you order your dog to follow you, or go to a targeted unit, your character will whistle. I know, cool, right? If so, remember to leave your comments on suggestions and such.

Thank you all for reading, now go have some fun!!!

Sorry if I make little sense. I have Asberger's Syndrome, so words aren't my best friend. Mathematics and Algebra seems to be my specialty, though. I can solve problems easily. If you ever need assistance, just let me know right away. I'll always be there to help :) .

(Edit) : Thanks for the links :) . I'll read them right away. Glad you can help :) .

I will give you 1/5 mark and must vote for rejection and report map to moderator!
But here are some links again! If map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

So don't worry, when you finish your map just update this one and ask moderator to unlock it so people can leave comments etc etc!

Here: Map resource moderation

Glad you can take it positively :)

And I can't stress enough what -Kobas- had said, especially use the Map Development to upload maps which you consider still in the Alpha stages, where map developers like you can get feedback and have their maps being play-tested by active users. This section is strictly for finished maps or maps already in the late Beta stages.

Okay Thanks for the heads up! I will only use this section for when I am done with my map. I was wondering, though... is this area okay for updates to my map as well? You know, like update if I notice a small bug while it's finished? Or is this section like "When it's done, it's done."? Thank you in advance :).

Yes, you can do it.

Just click the update button at the upper right of the thread, upload the latest map and it would overwrite your old map with the new one.

If your map was at rejected status, simply use update to upload a new version of your map to overwrite the old one and it would back to pending.

Cool, a new user who knows what he's doing.
I like that, those are pretty rare to be honest :D

I want to be a game programmer later on (going to follow a game-oriented course in high school).
But yeah, nothing ever goes as planned: know that as a fact.

The problem with your map is that early alpha's aren't allowed to be here.
Your map must be near completion (so late beta stage) before it can get allowed.
Any other maps must be put in the 'Map Development' section, where users may give you hints to improve the map (though it can also happen that they'll ignore your thread, so try to make it as attractive as possible - without flashy color codes btw).

Keep working on it, you might get somewhere...

Edit: Oh yeah, if you didn't know yet (and you probably didn't): I'm the map mod of this community, so I decide whether your map gets rejected or approved (usually based on user reviews/ratings, they've got more to say than they think they have :/ ).
And it's currently rejected (reason stated above).
