I made an account just to post and download this mod.

I have a couple of questions:

1.) How does 'farming' work? (regarding the berries)

2.) Will you implement a way to permanently increase the amount of power hearts you have? (for example, a certain item would let you increase your maximum power hearts to 15 instead of 10)

Besides that, I'm enjoying this mod so far. :)

Keep up the good work and I hope you continue through with it. Also are you taking beta testers?

1.) Berries grow like in the original game.

2.) Yes. I already have foods in the game (Pumpkin Pie, Gogoats Milk, Cake, Fried Egg) but they are only for gifts for now.

I got surf What to do now
?

Find a water pokemon and teach it surf. Surf in the forest till you see a little opening with a fake tree and a bit of open area. The entrance to the second farm and other stores is there.

I love the concept of this game! Even though it's short so far, it was fun to play and explore. My only gripe is that the normal growing rate of berries is way too slow for farming (for me, at least.)

Anyways, I look forward to any news you share and, of course, new game updates.

Best wishes : D

It would be better if the whole game will be like only Harvest Moon like :) Love the idea hope you improve it more. Well, I've never seen an idea like this before.. hope it will be successful as it should be in the future.

I like this, it's a good concept.

Get some custom Pallettes, Custom Tiles, and Custom OWs, and it'll be a swanky lil' game.

I'm having the same problem. I saw a video on youtube where Froakie learned surf, but I started the game with Fennikin. :/ Caught myself a nice Staryu and everything thinking it would help me get across the lakes in the forest, but nope.

Anyway, I really like the game. Cool concept. Still a bit buggy but hey you don't make any kind of software and expect it to work perfectly on the first or even second and third tries. I hope it'll continue to be updated. One of the things I'd like to see that someone else mentioned before is a change to the berry growth rate. It's pretty slow going right now. I hope it'll either get sped up a bit or alternately that you'll be able to use items/abilities within the game to speed the process up yourself the farther you progress in the game. For example, maybe one thing that would be valuable to do is incorporate a day counter where when you go to sleep to recover those hearts you roll over into the next day. And each berry would have a certain amount of days until it grew and ripened, in which time you'd only need to water a berry once a day to help its growth. But if you don't remember to water it or you keep sleeping and sleeping over and over your berries wither and die off without attention. You could also have other day-oriented events going on so you really have to start getting a schedule strategy like you do with the harvest moon games.

I understand that might be getting a bit difficult though. Once you start touching the original code for those kind of in-depth mechanics you can really dig yourself into a trench and create all sorts of new bugs.

Okay.. So I downloaded the patch and tried to patch it to my Pokemon Ruby ROM, but I got an error saying it's not an IPS file. How do I fix that?

What file extension is it currently, a GBA? There's probably an open source easy conversion tool out there somewhere.

Sorry about that. Only froakie and skiddo can learn surf. I changed tm overheat to tm surf and i forgot to changed the tm compatibility of the pokemon.

I didnt changed anything about the berries. I dont know what happened. Your suggestion is great but I am just a starter so I cant script that, sorry.
