(or more, or less, depending on how boring my answers are and how lazy I am).
Day 1: What’s your favorite console Harvest Moon game?
....It’s a toss up between “Magical Melody” and “Tree of Tranquility” (I would say “Animal Parade”, but I honestly haven’t played it yet! Like most of the console HM games!)
From what I recall, “Magical Melody” lacked actual heart events, though it was made up for with cute rival events and random events. I also found the idea of villagers moving in or leaving very interesting (though sad) and really enjoyed the festivals, but my favorite thing was the mini-game to retrieve the blue feather! It just felt like a really romantic idea to have to work to retrieve one instead of buying it.
With “Tree of Tranquility”, I really enjoyed the game’s main story.
I thought it was much more interesting than MM’s (though both have a similar idea), plus I ended up learning a lot more about Gill, making him feel like a much more developed character from the rest of the villagers, which lead me to marry him. (I honestly didn’t think I was going to marry him, I really disliked his spring outfit when the game was announced and thought he looked like a snob, lol. I originally was going after Jin or Toby!)
I also really liked the introduction of having a side job in the game, but.. I almost never had to farm, just the bare minimum, mainly to just eat or give gifts. It also took away the challenge of wooing Gill and I was married in 2 seasons! That’s a record for me!
And though you still have to look for the blue feather in this game, it wasn’t nearly as challenging as it was in MM.

I haven't made the first version of her uniform yet, I just ended up making this one first.
Too bad Chris Patton wasn't at the con (sounds like he's been ill this year, hope he gets better soon), but at least Greg Ayres was there! I was hoping to have them both sign this.
Um excuse me but do you still make QR codes for Animal Crossing New Leaf??
Honestly, I haven’t in a long while, but I was actually thinking about picking up the game again! Was there something you’d like to request?
Day 12: What do you think of the HM spinoffs? (Rune factory, Innocent life…)
I still haven’t played Innocent Life... so I have no opinion on that, but I thought Rune Factory was a great idea! It has the elements of HM/SoS, while tossing in Fantasy RPG elements. It allows you to either relax and farm, visit with villagers like you would normally do or go on quests and progress through the storyline at your leisure.
I really loved RF4 and really excited for RF5!

Thought I'd make his winter outfit for good measure.
When I went on to the new Style Savvy: Fashion Forward website and saw this model, I automatically thought was she could be Allen's sister or a gender-bender version of him. Their outfits and general looks are so similar!
Day 15: How many times have you reached the ‘end’ of a HM game? (ending farm evaluation, the player dying, etc)
Uhhhh.... I think I “finished” four games, hopefully five soon (right at the end of Trio!)
I know I finished “DS Cute” since found all the harvest sprites, I admit I cheated on that, lol. Pretty sure I saved the Harvest Goddess in “Magical Melody” and “Tree of Tranquility”... “More Friends of Mineral Town” is questionable... I suppose not? Only if you count collecting all the rings, which I didn’t, but I was as done as I was gonna get.
