I Died in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life

[@JackDuckGoose]

Hey everyone! The remake to Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, comes out in North America tomorrow! I will be streaming my first experience with the remake at 8 AM Central Standard Time @ www.twitch.tv/jackduckgoose ! Would love to see you guys there!

[@mostlyghostey]

I’m begging you to do a 100% of animal parade! This was such a wonderful time and Animal Parade is one of the other Harvest Moon games that I have a high level of nostalgia for.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Funny you mention it, I've just started poking around Animal parade! I haven't recorded anything yet, but I'm getting adjusted to the art style, loading screens, and the world so I'm excited to get my teeth into it! Thanks for watching!

[@MaddyRose1998]

@@JackDuckGoose AH I’d lose my mind if you did animal parade!!! Yes!

[@TheXion92]

Been doing my own playthrough as well as the remake of AWL, and honestly Animal Parade is my happy place when I'm down. I'm always shocked to see I have 20 viewers just watching me try to woo Anissa~

[@krystaldragon17]

@@JackDuckGoose I never fully completed Animal Parade (being I never got every rival child, didn't get to the point of my kid going on a journey, etc) but I can assure you it is a BIG game!

[@JackDuckGoose]

[@Battlefield2021]

More Harvest Moon games needed to follow this formula, of actually raising a child and influencing what they do.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I agree! So many HM games, and farming games in general, completely discount the family life after you get married. They just sit there and hang out. I really hope future Story of Seasons games make the family aspect more important!

[@krila3978]

This game was my childhood. My sister and I would play this together and I had rose-tinted glasses because I forgot how dark this game was! Hooooooly crap. But that makes it better, even, at least for me. Having the stark contrast of how life can devolve vs. the fake "everything is great and nothing bad happens" trope a lot of games employ is really refreshing. I might do another playthrough of this myself if I find the time.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Lol it really does get dark towards the end, and I absolutely agree. One of the big reasons I played the original version is because there is a finite amount of time you have on one save, whereas AnWL and the SE have heaven mode. It really hammers home the narrative of the game.

[@StarzGecko]

In the end… The Farmer scored twice 😂 Celia surprised me what she said at the ending… poor Muffy 😅

[@JackDuckGoose]

My man went for the harem route from Day 1 and was rewarded with this bounty.

[@mellysandshrew]

Thank you for sharing this experience with us! I don't know if I ever actually had the attention to fully complete a run of these games way back when I played them, so watching the ending had me really feeling it. I'm excited to see what you have in store for us next!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! I feel exactly the same way. My small child brain got pretty bored after the first 2 chapters lol. There's plenty of stuff coming out that I'm excited to play so there will for sure be more videos!

[@nutty9966]

thank you so much for this amazing series. the way you talked about the last day of the game genuinely brought tears to my eyes. again thank you so so much for making this series!!!!!! harvest moon content makes me so happy and im just so glad i got to be a part of this (on youtube, atleast) edit: you should TOTALLY do an 100% run of animal parade. its sosososo good

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much watching and all your compliments! It was a great journey and I'm excited to compare it to the remake coming out soon! I've already started an Animal Parade Playthrough on the stream, and will turn that into a video at some point!

[@homesteadhero]

CONGRATULATIONS at completing your 99.9% playthrough! I'm pretty sure we can overlook whatever you missed - this game is notorious for its inconsistency, after all (and who knows how many of the internet rumors surrounding its events, pets, etc. are actually true...). Thank you for such a joyful - and informative - experience from start to finish, and I cannot wait to see what lies in store for your channel next...though I'm secretly keeping my fingers crossed for Animal Parade :)

[@aurum12hm70]

Thank you so much for playing for us Jack. Its always nice to revisit the game I grew up with. I would say play whatever you want. Ive played HM animal parade but its always been last on my favorite HM games.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm probably going to cycle through the new AWL remake, Magical Melody, and Animal Parade since there seems to be *a lot* of people who liked it even though it isn't their favorite. When the new HM made by Natsume comes out, I'm going to give that a try as well since I want to give Natsume a fair shake.

[@Swoohoobat]

Hey, i just want to say, that i reeaaally like this 100% project from you. Yesterday, i found your channel and i am excited to see your other videos. :D A Wonderful Life was one of the game of my childhood too (next to Animal Crossing: Wild World, Nintendogs, Harvest Moon DS and Sims 2 for the Gamecube) and it's ... kind a heartwarming that so many people love that game even today.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I know! It's so awesome finding out a lot of people feel the same way I do about AWL. Thanks so much for enjoying my stuff!

[@reckneps]

RIP to this wonderful series 😔🙏

[@JackDuckGoose]

So many fun memories that I'm sure will be revived in the remake

[@LemonBunch]

Dang this was a great series! Guess we have the Magical Melody series and maybe other things to look forward to now ! Really nice editing and scripting - can definitely tell you are putting in quality work! Keep it up!

[@LemonBunch]

Will also say Tree of Tranquility is one of my favorite HMs, if you haven’t played it, it’s definitely worth trying out!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching and your compliments! On the horizon I have the Magical Melody series, some videos around the AWL remake when that comes out, and I'm sinking my teeth into Animal Parade, I could even add ToT into that rotation since a lot of people like it!

[@dwglr]

It's been wonderful to watch this series and see 99.999% of what this game has to offer! It's made me dust off my old copy and fire it up for fun and old times sake. I would love to see a full run through of Animal Parade! There's so much to it, and it really captures that essence of a community that grows and expands over time and as you play through it and has a lot of fun bits to it, too! Rubber ducks included! I'm honestly worried about the remake potential for it because of how much they'd likely cut out since these days, they don't do rival marriages anymore (which is the main aspect of the game I think makes it feel more alive). Their remake of Friends of Mineral Town proved they won't stay true to the rival marriage system, so I dread the day they decide AP is next in line for a remake. Same for Island of Happiness. Rather than improve upon what was already there, I'm worried they'll cut out a lot of what made the games great in the first place. Looking forward to whatever you have cooked up for us next!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! I've only got a couple of hours into Animal Parade so I'm excited for all that is in store. If I understand correctly, Marvelous cut out the rival marriages mechanic because the Japanese audience really hated it, so I would be surprised to see it return in any remake, which really sucks.

[@dwglr]

@@JackDuckGoose Yeah, I believe the reasoning was that the Japanese audience disliked that the rival of the candidate they picked ended up forever alone, so they just cut the mechanic entirely instead of finding another workaround. I'm sad it's probably not going to come back, but I'm glad it existed in some old games that we can still replay. You won't catch me buying a remake of Animal Parade or Island of Happiness unless it's confirmed rival marriages will still be in them. I remember some games had candidates that only you could marry (Like in Island of Happiness where the opposite gender farmer to the one you picked at the beginning of the game moved onto the island after a certain amount of progress), so I feel like a potential workaround that keeps the game feeling alive without making one candidate or all candidates except for who you choose forever alone is to program a candidate in that would always marry the person who was the rival to who you chose if you married someone with a rival, but I'm not sure how much coding and programming that would take or if they'd think it worth the effort.

[@Shiny_Misty]

This series brought a lot of nostalgia. Thank-you for the journey.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! Hopefully the remake can bring about more nostalgia induced dopamine.

[@AntiKira20]

[@maik5613]

This is soo awesome. Thx for all the time and work you put into this. I just found my gamecube again today and I started playing Harvest Moon again, but only for an hour because I don't really have the time to do it all. What a coincidence that you just finished this project 7 days ago. I am 25 right now, and I played this game so much as a kid, but I actually just realized I missed soooo much. I think I never really finished it. At least I can't remember that you die at the end. I remember crying my eyes out when I let my first cow die because I didn't know about the medicine, I can't imagine how devastated I would have been if my main character died. I didn't even know you could do hybrid seeds... I guess I spent most of my time fishing and digging in this game haha. Unbelievable how much depth this game had. Greetings from Germany :)

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! It's awesome knowing I have people half way around the world watching my videos lol. AWL is a brilliant game that just needed a little more direction to players on the possibilities! I'm hoping that makes its way to the remake so new players get to experience everything it has to offer!

[@maik5613]

I think you can also get a chihuahua from carter or flora if you befriend them. Still enjoyed the videos. Wish I would have been there when you were live.

[@mjdapunk5056]

I would LOVE Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade game play. I loved this series, although I never played AWL. I have played Animal Parade for a decade now… there’s very little content for it. And I have wanted to play/watch TOT because it is the sister game that came a year or two before Animal Parade! I have a hard time catching streams with working, but I have followed all of the youtube uploads since they were posted. I am very happy to watch someone who streams older Harvest Moon games!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! It's unfortunate that you couldn't watch any streams, but it's not a big deal lol. I'll definitely look into an AP video soon!

[@TheXion92]

Hero of Leaf Valley is the PSP Remake of Save the Homeland, and honestly both are fantastic. There's a little more to do in HOLV, but I won't say anything as to not spoil it. Animal Parade essentially took Tree of Tranquility and improved it. The stuttering and load times in ToT were terrible. I would also recommend Harvest Moon for the SNES since it's on the Switch, very easy to access that way. You did a fantastic job and should be extremely proud! Looking forward to seeing more of your content, subbed and followed you on Twitch!

[@JackDuckGoose]

I'll definitely look into making a video on all those games since I'm really open to trying all the HM games I've never played before lol Thanks so much for enjoying my stuff and following me!

[@HamiGirl1]

9:17 that screen is so harrowing lol i've learned so many little secrets about this game through this series! i'm so interested to see how the remake will compare! especially with the stuff with murry, and uh.... and lines like 27:21 apparently??? oh my god 😭😭😭 marlin what the hell LOL ☠☠☠ literally made me GASP. but aw, the conversation with the son in the bath made me kinda emotional :') kiddo realizing his parents are getting older... i feel that 😭 the last part of the vid was so bittersweet, doing everything for the last time... but it's also so funny seeing the chat talk about DEMOCRACY FOR PLACE TO DIE KLSJFDG incredible. i hope to catch a future stream sometime! can't wait to see what you do next. i think a completion series on another hm/sos game would be fun to see! animal parade and tree of tranquility were always really fun ones so i could see either of those as good options.

[@JackDuckGoose]

This game, and a lot of Japanese titles that came out in the early 2000's, are just super quirky. They include weird, almost spooky, moments like Daryl's experiment explosions, and borderline emotional abuse. But then, they include sweet moments like the bath cut scenes. Doing the final couple days on stream was necessary. The twitch chat needs their last pound of flesh for this series, and it was only right that they got to pick our death bed. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you can come around to a stream since they're so much fun! I've just starting to get my teeth into Animal Parade, nothing recorded yet mind you, but I'll definitely make a video on it since it's my first time playing it.

Ah ran the code breaker to get the connectivity rank bonus thing to get the CDs?

[@JackDuckGoose]

Listen, If I *allegedly* ran some type of code to *allegedly* replace a normal flower with an *alleged* music disc, there's no way I would admit to that, *allegedly*

[@peytonfilmography]

They don’t make the games these dark and complicated anymore!! Wish they did, gives more of a fun realistic challenge

[@JackDuckGoose]

I agree! I can understand that game developers nowadays don't want to turn off the player with things like death, but it makes the game seem, hollow, I guess

[@slumptydumpty3058]

Ive never beat the game as a kid but wow thats a sad but good end.

[@JackDuckGoose]

It is definitely bittersweet. For me, it proves that a good game can have a real impact on the player.

[@sol-8340]

I would love a play through of animal parade.

[@JackDuckGoose]

It's been such a popular shout I might have to do it lol

[@taryncruz1490]

In the new remaster, I've married Gordy and we had a daughter. She's been asking me "mommy, are you square?"

[@JackDuckGoose]

Awwww I love that callback. So cute lol

[@sardonicsardonyx359]

Do you ever plan to play Grand Bazzar? if u could i would love to see you stream it

[@JackDuckGoose]

After HM came to gamecube, I never really played on a handheld so there are tons of DS games I never experienced. Maybe I'll give it a try lol

[@katjosephperez8772]

So a lil kid’s drawings are setting him up to be the next Picasso. 😂 Hmmm I wonder if he’s shown us those art challenges for spacial awareness (the ones when you try to draw someone’s face while looking at them, but you aren’t allowed to look at the drawing or lift your chalk/marker, so the eyes are all crazy and floating in the face or the hair, and the mouth and nose are touching)

[@JackDuckGoose]

Lol I've never done that before. I kinda want to try now

[@pamp5180]

the thumbnail and title made me wheeze

[@JackDuckGoose]

I guess I was just in a silly-goofy mood when I was in Photoshop lol

[@tinachen9728]

The new version the animal never dies.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I know! I'm kinda disappointed that they removed that lol

[@odessagonzales]

Hi,as in end game?no continuation?as in back to start again?

[@JackDuckGoose]

Correct! This version, the original, just ends. You can go back to your most recent save and play however many days are left, but it will just end in death again lol.However, in the SE and AnWL there is a "heaven mode" where you can continue farming on that save even after you die.

[@kirikat9365]

Please do play Animal Parade! In my opinion it's one if not the best game in the series~

[@JackDuckGoose]

I've been testing the game since I've never played it, but I think it'll make an appearance in at least 1 video lol

[@EggyEggtoast]

I would love to watch a comfy stream of a harvest moon game...

[@JackDuckGoose]

I try to stream once a week, usually on the weekends! I'll for sure be streaming the AWL remake coming out on Tuesday, June 27th almost all day!

[@EggyEggtoast]

@@JackDuckGoose wonderful! Here on youtube or?

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@EggyEggtoast I stream on twitch currently. I've considered trying a KZbin stream and I might at some point lol

Well, there are a good few harvest moon games left...

[@JackDuckGoose]

For sure! I definitely won't to go back and check out HM64 and some other games that I never had the chance to play!

I've always wondered why Muffy became the most popular bachelorette

[@JackDuckGoose]

I honestly don't know lol. The only reason Muffy was selected in my playthrough was because I had like, 50 subscribers when I took the vote on who to marry. I think we would end up with Nami now lol

[@octavianprescott7989]

I always married her because her later cutscenes, if you don't, are depressing

[@Clemijn]

oh I will be here if you do animal parade or tree of tranquility

[@JackDuckGoose]

They might make an appearance in a video! I'm testing AP right now to see if there is something there lol

[@rafitrisaputra5729]

OMG I never remember how the graphics looks compared to the remake now, now i can not come back to play this game again😭😭😂😂

[@JackDuckGoose]

I find the old graphics endearing lol. It's definitely subjective, but I can see preferring the new graphics lol

[@THE_HOLY_FEARY_BREAD]

do you know harvest moon the tale of two towens its a realy nice game for the nintendo ds i playet it when i was still a little bean and never finisht it would be cool if you could play it :)

[@JackDuckGoose]

I never really got into the handheld HM games outside of FoMT. Once I got into consoles, I mainly stayed on that side of the line lol

[@Exorci2m]

How long did the entire game take? I'm planning on buying it and i would like to be able to play it for a while without finishing it so quickly.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Great question! If you're playing the original gamecube, boy version, there are a total of 10 years. 1 Year for chapters 1, 5, and 6, 2 Years for Chapters 2 and 4, and 3 Years for Chapter 3. If you're really trying to 100% the game, you can finish 90% of it by the end of Chapter 3. For me, each day averaged about 20 minutes if you're doing a lot of stuff, so if you want to play the entire game, beginning to end, it's about 100-120 hours. If you have any other questions, let me know!

[@GGYMW]

Wow well done 👏 this must've been a bitch to edit so thank you for your efforts! I really enjoyed this and was super entertaining as always haha ❤ I now look forward to the next magical melody installment 👀

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! Editing is a labor of love. Although, it's a priority of mine not to burn out, so I really take my time and chunk out the process. I'm up to day 154 in Magical Melody so I've almost collected the footage for another part!

[@scvrlett18]

What harvest moon are you gonna 100% next?!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Magical Melody is probably next up on my list as I'm already close to 90 Music notes. I'll probably switch off between that, the AWL remake, and Animal Parade since I'm diving into that as a first time player.

[@scvrlett18]

@@JackDuckGoose I have magical melody but have never played it so I'm excited to see!

[@Holly-hr3xd]

Quick question, do you continue playing as your child once you die or is that the end of the game?

[@JackDuckGoose]

Quick answer; No, you do not continue playing as your child. The game ends and you can load up your last save point or start a new game lol. However, in the SE and AnWL, there is "Heaven Mode" which allows you to keep farming on your original save even after your character dies.

[@MamaSamsung-vf2el]

LETS FUCKING GO

[@JackDuckGoose]

We farming 😤😈💪

id call that "oar-ah-gay" like japanese pronunciation

Hey buddy the people they are already remake the harvest moon game on the Nintendo switch if you want to buy it and do the story all over again?

how about harvest moon ds all sprites? a wonderfully janky game. Or Friends of Mineral Town and show off the GBA link features.
