The above video is our look at the Wild Season beta from last month, and it looks like its already a bit outdated. I suppose that's bound to happen with betas, so continue past the break to see what they've added.

It looks like the developers have addressed some of the crippling issues I ran into during my attempted playthrough. You can now play until Summer 18 Firefly event, which means you can continue the story longer than you could in the earlier beta. They've improved the camera, increased run speed, updated the sound FX (I hope that means they HAVE sound FX now), added animal raising and fixed purchasing of items and animals! They've also fixed the shipping bin, which means you can finally make money now that you also have the ability to spend it!I haven't had a chance to give the new beta  a go yet, but I am excited about it. Why? Because I want a Harvest Moon game on PC, simple as that. Or at least it was until the newest Harvest Moon was announced for PC as well, which better light a fire under Wild Season's developers because that has got to be a pretty painful announcement for them.

In case you're curious about what's changed, I have included the patch notes, below.

Have you played Wild Season? Are you excited about the upcoming release, or are you more excited for the Harvest Moon release on PC? Let us know in the comments below.
