Wild Season is an upcoming game in the farming genre. Think Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing and you're getting pretty close. So why am I talking about it? Because it's coming to PS3, PS4, PS Vita, XBox One, and finally PC! In fact, it's on Steam Early Access right now if you just need to try it early. Check after the break for more details on the game.
If the above image looks an awful lot like Harvest Moon, that's not accidental.
Wild Season is a farming/life simulator that sees you pick form either a male or female avatar. From there you inherit a farm in a small town, must repair it, plant and harvest crops, and bring the farm to prosperity. Along the way you'll encounter love, heartbreak, politics, dog racing and more. In fact, one of the things I'm very excited about is the developer has stated that the town has a dark undertone that you may discover as you play. They aren't giving too much away yet, but it all sounds very "Old Gods", which excites me.
The Early Access version of course doesn't contain everything that the final build will, but below is a list of features the developers plan to include, with my comments in parenthesis:
- Advanced animal breeding (advanced? Like, horse/human hybrids? Probably not, but I can hope).
- Beer and Wine making (Excellent! Will you grow corn or hops? Or just grow corn and ferment it).
- Real Time Cooking (What does that mean? It's gonna take 2 hours in real time to cook a chicken meal?).
- 85 different crops to grow!
- Full mouse support (YES! Playing with a controller is nice, but I love my mouse and keyboard).
- Character customization.
