Rune Factory 5 Hype Explained

Since Stardew Valley has been out for a couple of years now, you might think you know all there is to know about the game. You’ve grown all types of crops, found everyone’s favorite gifts, and pillaged the caves ‘til you could pillage no more. But do you know all the secr


Meanwhile the aforementioned designer Abi Cooke Hunt revealed that while the game has often been grabbing headlines as " Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter," it also has perhaps less obvious inspirati


Craft it with Bug Meat that you got by slaying monsters in the mines! Bait will make fish bite faster when you're fishing. You can also find bait in many places in the game, including from the Worm Bin, which can be crafted after earning the recipe at Fishing Leve


And one of the best aspects of the Rune Factory series is the fact that with each episode, it managed to greatly improve itself in all aspects. When you played Rune Factory 2 in 2008, the game was so much better that it felt as if Rune Factory 1 sucked (even though it didn't). Most notably , Rune Factory 2 had a deeper magic system and a story spanning two generations, with the choice of playing the protagonist's son or daughter. When Rune Factory 3 released in 2009, it was a huge revolution and a billion times better than 2. Rune Factory 3 's additions included tons of new crafting systems and skills to develop, bonus online dungeons, being able to compare your progress and your farm's stats with friends, and the ability to ask any character you've befriended to accompany you in battle. The game also had so many ergonomic changes and improvements that compared to every Rune Factory and Story of Seasons games so far, I almost felt like crying when I first tried it. Playing Rune Factory 3 never feels repetitive or like a chore, even after spending a hundred hours on

If you have a 3x3 patch of fully-grown cauliflowers, melons, or pumpkins — as long as the middle one is watered — there’s a chance they’ll turn into a giant crop. And when you harvest them, they give you way more produce than a standard crop (anywhere between 15 and 21 yields). It's pretty cool, right? Plus you harvest them using your axe, which feels pretty awes


The new details come via an interview with PC Gamer , who recently sat down to chat about said unannounced game with Finn Brice, CEO of Chucklefish and the game's lead designer, artists Abi Cooke Hunt and Adam Riches, and designer Rosie B


"Our inspiration for the game world and art comes from a lot of places," said Cooke Hunt. "People have picked up on the influence of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, but some of our biggest inspirations have been things like Studio Ghibli’s rendition of Kiki’s Delivery Service , Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom series and Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching boo


However, that game turned out to be Lord of Magna , released on 3DS in 2014. Lord of Magna was quite different from Rune Factory , but also a spiritual successor of sorts, so many believed the Rune Factory series was definitely dead. And yet, here we are now. In an era where many studios are closing down or experiencing huge lay-offs , the fact that Rune Factory 5 is actually coming out on Switch in 2020 (in Japan) kinda has a symbolistic feel to


Every once in a while an indie game shatters the internet, bringing gameplay experiences that transcend the need for a large budget. In the case of Stardew Valley , simplicity works, and we can't be a bigger fan of the game. Already, the game is inspiring copycats like Stranded Sails , but it's doubtful any will capture the enchanting nature of Stardew Val


Fishing in Stardew Valley is obviously a great way to catch fish to give to the people of Pelican town, complete quests, fill the Community Center, create recipes, and sell for money to buy more animals and seeds for your farm. But, fish aren't the only things that can be caught with a fishing


The second game which was essential to Rune Factory 's birth was Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon , released on PSP in April 2006 in Japan. It was the first time the series went towards a pretty different direction. It still had farming, but also a heavy focus on exploration. The game was set in a technologically-advanced setting, and players would ride a buggy and explore dunge

Chucklefish also revealed some of the game's systems, including magic, potion making, and farming systems. Further details of each were not provided, but it was said the goal is to make sure each system is rewarding and satisfying on its own. "Expect to have a lot to do in the final game," says Br
