![]() ![]() Supporting my native language (german), english language + extra versions like Another Wonderful Life aswell Providing the best possible texture quality while keeping the integrity of the original textures So I started this project and I think it turned out really good And instantly I had to think of some upscale models which could be a perfect fit for this kind of textures. Just the textures could be a little bit sharper. When I saw HM: A Wonderful Life for the first time, I loved the look of this game. ![]() This is a title that I encourage you to take breaks from if you're sensitive to internalized misogyny and homophobia, as it may just dredge up those feelings as it did in me.Hello and welcome to my own texture pack version of Harvest Moon: A(nother) Wonderful Life ![]() It's something I would be able to shrug off, since I'm stuck playing straight characters most of the time, if Another Wonderful Life did not push the standard on me with such urgency. I didn't notice when I was a child, and likely would not notice as an adult if I were heterosexual, but now when I play through the first year of the game I get more than a little distressed knowing that, if I refuse to marry a man, I will be forced to quit, supposedly because I'm not cut out for the farming life. The same expectations do not apply to men, so while A Wonderful Life (the "boy version") also requires different-gender marriage, it doesn't force centuries of misogyny into the picture (though it does bring up heteronormative ideals into play). ![]() The expectation that a woman must marry a man is misogynistic, rooted in the idea that a woman is incomplete without a man, and her role in life is to bear his children. Another Wonderful Life is almost the same game as A Wonderful Life, with a lot of good fixes, but there is one very glaring issue: marriage to a man is mandatory to continue the game. Other changes, however, were not so great. Another Wonderful Life does a good job of ushering you in the direction of the most satisfying path for a player to take. It's this personal level of responsibility combined with the ability to fix your mistakes that makes raising crops and animals rewarding but not yet frustrating. The game allows players to hand-pick what they'd like to raise, so any loss is a personal blow, even if it's not hard to recover from. There are plenty of ways to earn money in the valley if something goes wrong and a player needs to pay for medicine, cow insemination, or even a replacement animal, but it's slow going. Conversely, irresponsible players run the risk of losing money when their crops fail and their animals die. By treating their livestock and crops right, players ensure that they will receive good products that will fetch enough money to sustain the farm. Beyond an easy-to-use inventory system, satisfactory camera angles, and an area so neatly set up it's impossible to get lost, Another Wonderful Life's reward and punishment system is pretty clever. Other systems in the game are more fine-tuned than the name system. ![]()
