the questions are kinda basic.
I grew up with harvest moon on GameCube on Gameboy Color. Thank u sir for the amazing memories.
Frickin adorable aren’t they?
One of the most inspiring stories in all of video game development and a monumentally beloved game that will be played for years to come
Two gods in one room together
Brilliant to see how much SV has grown in the last few years since this
Thanks for making these kind of games! I was a huge harvest moon fan and just discovered Stardew Valley. These games are soooo relaxing
For Stardew Valley fanatics who thought that Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon, and the new farming game Coral Island are just a cheap copy/ripoff of Stardew Valley, need to watch this video soooo bad.
It's amazing that Eric Barone finally meet his idol, Yasuhiro Wada-san!
What Eric said about the romance options at 7:00 is really good information. “How do you know the players will feel connected?” You don’t, but you give them the option. The option is good enough to satisfy that player if they go down that route with your game. It makes sense. So, essentially don’t cheap out on romance options (looking at you, Skyrim).
I think the community and tester feedback is also quite important here. Great interview, glad he was able to meet the creator of his primary inspiration. Both were so respectful. 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing.
I hope Wada got a little gift to his bank account by today.
If it wasn’t for Harvest Moon, SV would never had been made.
Wada hasn’t been able to reach success and I can imagine his family would be very thankful.
the subs are so funny when he speaks Japanese.
Esto más épico que ver las tortugas ninjas con los power rangers
what's the music playing in the background? sounds pretty cool
Who else can't help but watch this video with a huge smile on their face? My face literally hurts haha.
I can feel it with every cell in my body how Eric feels sitting next to him 🥰
The biggest problem here is why didn't they give both Japanese mics?!
so all these years and the creator of harvest moon still can't speak english?
why does eric look like anne hathaway in a way
Can someone link the video of them playing each other's games? I can't find it
i cant stop smiling while watching the video 😂 I cant imagine what it’s like to sit next to someone you respect and inspired you to create a game!
