Stardew Valley's word of mouth sales seem insane

Well if they didnt reacted after Recettear good sales.... I think the Gust dream on PC is as dead as a rock. Which is a shame because the game has a good potential. Heck many KT games have a good potential if only they took 3 easy steps:
1. Day and date same time announcement and release
2. Standard PC port (unlocked resolution and framerate)
3. Market the damn thing at the same time as console versions
It's funny how KT started big with DW8 doing close to 200k, then sales shrinking with more and more bad ports of bad games. DoA5 had a nice spot, granted it was an equal port to PS4, with working online, sales would've been more than 60k and closer to 200k.

Don't worry, they'll pull through complete with no kb/m support, graphical artifacting, and a $65 price tag. Believe! ♥♥♥
Well that's a bummer, gonna have to pass then.
Maybe a good HM clone is in the pipeline now.

I definitely don't recall that... you thinking the sequel on DS?
The only hostile thing in the mines of Friends of Mineral Town Mines was your energy.
Eh, maybe. I remember some mines having monsters on a 2d harvest moon.
I really don't understand your dismissal because the combat is infrequent, actually rather enjoyable and it doesn't hinder the game in any way, shape or form.
It's just mining, only with an occasional blob or bat to hit with your sword. The combat is really not the focus of this game.

Designed for that? lol.
This doesn't seem like a graphically intensive game. Would this run on a 4 year old cheap gaming laptop? I'm sure it will come out on consoles due to the success it's seen, but that might take a while. I've got i7@2.20 8GB ram, Nvidia geforce 525M. Just not sure how some of these modern games run, even though the graphics are SNES/Playstation quality.

Buy, try, refund if bad.

Stardew Valley is a lot of fun, and I'm glad the farming RPG genre is getting some shine after being niche for a good while. Now we just need someone to make an ambitious Rune Factory clone and I never have to leave my computer again.
It runs on the atom bay trail soc, so yes you can run it.
Slightly off topic, but is there a recommendation thread for Steam games that will run on a toaster?
My PC is rubbish and uses an integrated graphics card I think, and it struggles to even run Mark of the Ninja at 1080p without slowdown (I bought it before I knew much about PC gaming)
Games like Gunpoint and Downwell run fine, I take it Stardew Valley will probably be ok?
But yeah, a thread recommending games for people with trash tier PC's would be pretty useful
If you plan to spend any amount of time playing stuff on PC, any PC really, you should just learn how to meaningfully read the minimal and recommended specs and how they relate to your hardware. Stuff like RAM should be easy, with CPUs its a bit harder and with GPUs you kinda learn the current brands, or you just look up how much computational power, say in form of the floating point operations per second metric, it has. This will save you a lot of time in the future.
I'm sure there are any number of guides for this. Might also be useful if you ever decide to buy a gaming PC.
When this PC dies I will invest in a gaming PC, just as someone who has only really played consoles and isn't well informed with regards to the technical aspects of PCs, there is a learning curve to getting up to speed with things like that
Probably. You can always get a refund if it runs poorly.
You're right. I haven't played either in a pretty long time, so it's all kind of blended in my brain since the graphics are so similar.You're probably thinking of Harvest Moon DS.

The game is amazing and I recommend it to anyone that is over the fence. It deserves every copy is selling.
And if you are still a little indecisive because of some of the portraits, and did a mod for the bachelorettes where all of the are facing sideview and changed some of the designs that I thought didnt work. Still using the same artsyle ConcernedApe made, becuase I really like it. Not becuase I hate anime designs, but becuase i dont think this game needs them (and there are already some anime mods, although Im pretty sure somebody with more artistic ability could have done better ones, as the ones at the moment are pretty mediocre).

Sorry guys for taking some more days than I thought. Finished with Haley yesterday night (at 2am) and, then had to do this morning some edits and wrong things I saw in the other sprite sheets, and edited some of the ingame sprites (like maru having longer hair). So ive been tweaking somethings, made a banner, some txt with intructions and put everything on a tidy package that I hope is easy to understand.
So here it is:

You have a different folder so you can choose the Maru portrait you most like to use in the game (you have to choose one for normal maru and one for Nurse Maru, so you can mix and match what you like).
About making the bachelors, right now, Im not going to do it, even wanting to do this ones, and the end it started being too much work and had to compensate it with my real life work. I also want to play more that game, that I basically stopped playing becuase I was making the mods lol
So yeah, if I make it at the end, is not going to be soon (I also think the ones the game got are particularly good compraed to the some of the females ones).
I hope you like them!
I'd prefer if there was no combat at all, that's all.
It's still pales compared to its nearest competitor, Rune Factory. People will inevitably draw comparisons with good reason. They're all the same genre retreading the same ground and as we've seen across the history, some naturally do certain things better than others. Combat just isn't some people's wheelhouse. RF and HM exist side by side for that reason imo despite being damn similar.

Missed opportunity.
Japanese publishers as smart as usual.

Are there any acceptable games in this genre for mobile? As in, no microtransactions? Man, having this game on iPad would be great.
