Wanna be a farmer?

The game I am playing right now is Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life.



You are the main character, a girl who moved from the city to Forget-Me-Not Valley to start a farm. At the beginning of the game, you own a farm, a barn, and a cow. You also start with 3000 gold, which enables you to purchase tools, seeds for your vegetable field, and animals like chicken and sheep. Later on in the game, you can fish, mate your animals, and purchase equipment to convert milk into butter or cheese. You can focus all your energy on creating and running a profitable farm, spend a significant amount of your time making friendships with the townspeople, or woo the husband of your dreams. The townspeople reward you with surprise gifts for your friendship.


If you enjoy playing Sims, Sims 2, or Animal Crossing, you will like this game. For the guys, there's a male version of this game, called "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life."


Right now, my farm is in the red (I am losing money) and I am in danger of running out of fodder to feed my cows. We'll see how the next few days goes (in the game). If my cows starve cuz I can't feed them, I'll need to figure out another strategy.

Is that when you get money from the local loan shark?

Sorry, there are no local loan sharks in the game. I don't know what happens when you run out of money, cuz thankfully I avoided it. I guess your animals get really unhappy with you for not feeding them. You can slowly earn back money by collecting wild flowers and mushroom and sell them.
