[Game] You're Hired!

[If you could make your own harvest moon game, what would it be like?]




..::~*~Introduction~*~::..


You've just been hired by Natsume to help design the next Harvest Moon. With all of the Next Gen Consoles out, they want to make as many games as possible! This is a contest, a serious contest.
It should be fun and interesting to see what you guys come up with.
Basically what you do is come up with your own Harvest Moon game.
You have characters, a story line, the goal, and so on. Then everyone votes. It's as simple as that~



..::~*~Rules and Requirements~*~::..



There are certain requirements for the entries. They are the following:

  • Include Introduction and Plot
  • There Must Be a List of Characters
  • Include a Map
  • Illustrations Are Appreciated
  • State the Goal of the Game
  • A List of Things That Make Your Game Different
  • Item List
  • A List of Crops You Can Raise
  • List of Animals You Can Raise / Pets
  • Heart Sequences
  • Heart Event Information (Optional)
  • Console and Date Information
  • Anything Else You Might Want to Include



..::~*~Glossary~*~::..

quote Introduction and Plot
Write a short paragraph or two stating the main idea of your game and your goal. Some questions you should ask yourself are: Who are you? Why are you in this situation, and what are you going to do about it? What is the problem here? How are you going to fix it?
quote List of Characters
List all of the characters in the game. You may use already existing characters, or create your own, or use a combination of both. You don't have to include profiles, but it's kinda hard to tell about a person just by their name. Pictures of your character's would be great, too.
quote Maps
Please include a map. It doesn't have to be very detailed, just a quick thing you did on Paint. Feel free to add more than one map. People need to get a feel for your game, on account they can't play it, so they need to know where everything is.
quote Illustrations
Pictures of Characters, Places, Buildings, Animals, and almost anything else will be awesome and probably boost your score. If you aren't a good artist, use TekTek or Elouai, or any other doll makers you know. Just don't copyright anyone~
quote Goal of the Game
What is the Goal of the game? How do you win? What do you have to do to beat it? Weather your saving the Harvest Goddess like in the original or going a completely different direction, there has to be a problem and a solution. I want to know what it is.
quote Things That Make Your Game Different
Make a list or write down a couple paragraphs about what makes your game unique or different from the others.
quote Item List
This is probably one of the most annoying and time consuming parts. You need to list all of the things in the game. Well everything you can ship. There are different methods of doing this, but the simplest is to start with the crops and produce, then the wild items (flowers, lumber, stone, etc.) and Mine items. Then all the cooking if you're including a cooking portion of the game. You can give them prices if you want.
quote List of Crops
Another list. Just tell us all of the fruits and veggies you can grow, and what season to grow them in. Pretty Simple.
quote List of Animals / Pets
List all the domestic animals and their produce ([Optional]and produce prices), and the selection of pets available.
quote Heart Sequences
How will your affection/friendship system work? Will you have color hearts like in HM:DS or MFoMT? Or will they have ten blank spaces you need to fill in like in Magical Melody or Tree of Tranquility? Will there be a system at all? Explain your system please.
quote Heart Event Information
This is optional. Depending on your affection system, you may not have heart events. If you do have heart events, please give the requirements, dates, times, and a descriptive explanation of the scene.
quote Console and Date Information
Which console will your game be on? DS? Wii? 360? PS3? When will your game be released? (You may include release dates for any and every country you want to include.)
quote Everything Else
You want to include anything else? Put it here. Like cooking recipes. Black Smith stuff? Anything you want to add should go in this section.



..::~*~Formats~*~::..

Okay, there are different formats you can enter you you game in as. You can make a website, Just plain type it into a document, or you could be creative and make a video.

For the website, all you have to do is sign up for an account on Google. It's free, and it works well. Then, once you're all signed up, go to 'My Account'. Click on 'Sites' Then once you're on that page, click the 'Create New Site' Button. Violla! Follow through the details, and then you can start building your web site!






HEY! Hold up! Before you go I thought I should let you know that I'll need three judges. Since I'm going to enter my own contest, and I can't judge my own project, I'll need three reliable people to be judges.

re: [Game] You're Hired!

Yeah you can be a judge Celia9. ^__^

To Konata and minhanhta; Why it's so long and has so many requirements is because after the contest, if it ever happens, I was going to actually mention to Natsume a couple of the best games. They might actually take into consideration of making one based off the entries. So, I just thought that a harvest moon games designed by harvest moon players would be awesome. ^___^

re: [Game] You're Hired!

    Hmm, to be honest, this looks pretty interesting! I may consider entering in my own entry, if I decide to. I'll think about this, since it looks like something I'd like to do. But I have a question about the whole website thing. Do we have to make up our own website for our game? I, personally, am not good at making headers and graphics for a website. I know HTML and CSS, but I feel that I don't want to make up my own website. If this part is optional, then I won;t do it, but if it's a requirement, then I'll try to...

    HHedit: Oh, nevermind, I read the format thing. I have a couple other questions, though.

    1. Can there be homosexual villagers in your town, and you can marry the same gender? I support gay marriage, and I think it would be pretty cool if you could marry the same gender. Can there also be characters that many people believe are homosexual, and they are when the start out? If there's a homosexual male in my game, for example, can he start out like that, but go straight again if the female tries to woo him?

    2. Can you also add in a little review (made up)? I think it would be fun, seeing what you think of your game. I'm writing my own review for AC, and I wouldn't mind expressing what I think of my game! =D

    3. Also, how do we submit the game? Do we post it in this thread, or do we PM it to one of the judges?

    Thanks!

re: [Game] You're Hired!

This does look interesting, and I might give it a go, if I can get all the hard stuff out of the way before school starts back. :-:

Also, will we be allowed to submit it in parts, or do we have to submit it all at once?

I expect you can liveslikebeth because it is pretty long. Can't wait to read them. If there was a new harvest moon game that would be awesome. C'mon people... take a chance!

Natsume isn't the creator, just the translator.
Marvelous is the company.
Just to clarify, if the programmers haven't listened before, what makes you think they will now?

I believe Kaslyna is right. The original creator is Yasuhiro Wada, so we can have the contest, but it will take a lot to send it to a company all the way in Japan.

re: [Game] You're Hired!

    You know what's ironic...?

    I was just getting an idea for a new HM game...

    But I'd like to be a judge.

    I'm already working on one, and when I'm finished, I'll show everyone for inspiration, but it won't be counted.

    I'm sure that's okay, right Reba? ^___^;

re: [Game] You're Hired!

I was going to volunteer to be a judge too, but it might be fun to make it up myself too! =D Anyway if worst comes to worst and you can't find another judge i'll do it

Edit:Also, if you just used characters from the old game could you just get pictures of them or do ybou have to use that doll thing?

re: [Game] You're Hired!

I can't be a juge because I'm to impationt, and the only thing for my game would have to be a combo of Island of happyness, and DS cute.
