*Game Updates*

- Story of Seasons is scheduled to be released February 27, 2015
- The Lost Valley has been out for a few weeks, and after playing it, I give it *** (3 stars). It is not as good, by far!, as legitimate Harvest Moon games but here are some pros and cons of the game:

PRO:
     - tool system is quick, easy, and better than any HM game's as of yet
     - crop hybridization is interesting, although sometimes difficult and confusing,is slightly addicting
     - growing crops on different ground levels, irrigation system (plating near water)
     - can grow crops year round
     - portable/buildable wells
     - mining is easy and rewarding
     - animals are easy and painless to take care of
     - terrainization is fun at first

CON:
     - no character customization
     - seasons take a looooooooonnnng time to unlock, so your first year will be almost entirely winter
     - bachelors/ettes are stereotypical and boring, although they tend to grow on you over time
     - only 3 bachelors/ettes
     - you cannot marry the witch/wizard (as of yet- DLC)
     - no town, and villagers appear only on certain days and times
     - tedious quests
     - moving around on terrain can often be difficult and time consuming
     - blacksmith only available on two days

* if there is more interest for this game I can write a guide and set up a forum for members to discuss things on it
