Right now it's going to be single player. It might become smp in the future, but right now..nope.
Once we have a working mod in at least Beta, I'll be happy to see us move toward a multiplayer farming experience. There are certain things about the town and the marriage system that wouldn't work with multiplayer (if people know any multiplayer games in the Harvest Moon line, please let me know so I can research how they approach things).
But yeah, farming and recipes could certainly be turned into a multiplayer experience... eventually.

My YouTube channel is currently on hiatus, but I hope to get back to it at some point. Content is fairly random, but can be enjoyable, and is mostly game footage (mostly random Minecraft clips) from my nephews and me. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!
Minecraft update gives us multiple colors of wooden planks as well as smooth sandstone and hieroglyphic blocks! Awesome!
I don't think those features affect our mod much (it does have an effect on my other mods), but it's going to be nice to be able to make houses with more than one color of wood. And hunting down new types of trees will now be useful ("I need some birch wood, let me go find a birch!).

Maybe you could add climbing trees! (you climb the tree wood and go through the leaves) ...i have not played harvest moon that much but 1 thing i remember if climbing a tree :3 (i am not a modder >.>)
They've got climbing vines now, as well as ladders.
I kind of think that you ought to be able to climb a tree that has low branches, but that fits in more with a mod that gives new ways of movement (crawling, different types of swimming, etc.), rather than our mod, which focuses mostly on farming.
But keep the ideas coming! Even the ones that aren't practical can lead us to think in a different way.

I think that you should incorporate all factors on the Harvest Moon games into your mod, rather than just the farming aspect of the game. I've played one of the Harvest Moon games that was on the Gamecube, but I haven't played in a long time. Loved the game, would love to test this mod when it comes out as well. I can do some research on the graphics of the games, and possibly make a texture pack that you can incorporate as a pack for this mod. I'm only stating that because I looked at the Harvest Moon SNES texture pack post that you linked on the first page, and noticed that the thread died, and not updated at all. I have a nice program for texturing and all, so I'd love to help. Come around summer, I may be able to help with coding, as to the fact that I'm taking Java Programming at the moment, and also studying Javascript. Let me know if you would like me to make a texture pack for this, just PM me, I don't follow up on threads as much as I check my PM's so that's the best way to contact me. Great Mod Idea, can't wait to try it.
Also, make the mod compatible with the Smart Moving Mod, if you can. I think they would go great together.
If you would like a full texture pack for it, you would need to send me the png's that are in the mod as well, that way I can cover all blocks in the mod, and the normal blocks ingame.
----EDIT----
I can also make you a banner for your mod if you would like!
We will be incorporating Farming, Cooking, Mining, Townsfolk, Marriage, and possibly Festivals. I'm not sure which elements we might have overlooked.
Texture packs and banners are slightly ahead of schedule (as in, we haven't pinned down all the elements yet, including the official name of this mod), but certainly I'd like to see people submit some eventually. I'll talk with you about this in PM.

God...my activeness here is awful I have to work on my mod's update, this mod, and my freaking school stuff =.= I'll get things done soon, I think. And as for graphics, it would be AWESOME if you could help. Right now I need these items to be drawn: Flint hatchet, flint spade, flint pick, flint dagger. All of them should be three quarter the size of a normal tool, cause they are supposed to be basic tools that are cheap to make. Link me the sprites in a PM, or just post them here if you don't mind any other people taking the sprites for their own use. Thanks
I have a few suggestions, but I don't know if you'll like them...
How about new mobs? The Harvest Goddess, the harvest sprites, and maybe even the characters? I've only played Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade, which have different character models than all the others, so I don't know how the characters of this game would look like...
Maybe towns or shops could spawn? There would be characters in the shops. You could buy seeds and animals(as spawn eggs) from them. The currency would be G? One gold ingot can be crafted into 500G? Crop seed prices would depend on the rarity and value of the crop while the spawn eggs... 50G for a chicken, 100G for a pig, 150G for a sheep, 200G for a cow and 500G for a mooshroom. Something like that. Even though they aren't for sale in the HM games, maybe add wolf and ocelot eggs in the shops too... maybe 600G each.
The Flint tools will be basically a stick and a couple pieces of flint, made in the 2x2 inventory grid, so you don't have to have a crafting bench. So yeah, they should be small-ish and look primitive.
I wouldn't worry about other people taking your sprites. Once we've got this thing up and running, it'll be very easy for people to take sprites anyway; there's no way to stop it completely, and no reason to. Unless you actually spot people using your sprites (and are certain that it's your graphics), don't worry about it.
captaincharisma: Welcome to the cheerleading squad! We welcome all ideas, even if we don't always use them.
This mod is going to be modular, which means that you can install just the farming/cooking/mining stuff, or install that and the town, or install all three parts (farming, town, and romance). Right now we're concentrating on the farming/cooking/mining stuff (because we can't do everything at once). Ocean Shark and I are working on the cast list for the town, although that's coming a little slowly - but then again we don't need it for a while.
There will definitely be a town with villagers eventually. You'll be able to talk with them and give them presents, and buy things in town. However, a lot of stuff that you were forced to buy in the Harvest Moon games will be found in the wild and/or grown on your farm in this mod (for example, you don't buy rice balls or flour - you grow rice and wheat).
I went through some basic ideas for coinage halfway through this thread. As it stands, we'll have Copper, Silver, and Gold coins; Silver coins are worth 64 Copper and Gold coins are worth 64 Silver. A Gold Nugget sells for 1 Gold Coin, a Silver Nugget for 4 Silver Coins, and a Copper Nugget for 16 Copper Coins; it's possible you'll be able to turn these into coins directly in your inventory (or possibly the furnace), rather than have to go to town to exchange them.

Patience; we're not even to Alpha Release yet. In fact, I don't think we're even to Indev.
We're working toward Alpha Release, though. The idea is to make the small flint tools, the ore-nugget-harvesting, and the planting, harvesting, and cooking of potatoes all work, and then use that as the Alpha Release, at which point I'll be making a thread on the Mods forum instead of the Mod Suggestions forum.
I'm pretty sure (though not 100% sure) that our mod will then have the name of Moontown, or The Moontown Mod. I'd love to hear other suggestions, though.

I think our other members have really been inactive lately..I'll really need help to proceed, lol.
Also could I just add, that I feel we are lacking at working together. Currently, it seems we are developing different mods for different aspects of the game, surely it would be better to setup a github project so our code can work together; and also see definitively what someone has finished, and what they haven't. I know that would probably up my productivity considering half the time I don't know what to do, and when I am given something to do, that section relies on something else which I'm not sure if its been done or not.
In short, it will be easier.
Agreed. I am already kind of out of things to do, cause I can't experiment, and have no idea what is not being worked on. I have no idea how github works, so I'm also fine with dropbox
CGuangJun, you're our Chief Coder, so pick whichever site you think is most useful and go make an account there. I think this would improve efficiency all around.
Let me know if I can do anything useful for you guys. I'm not really sure what you need that I haven't already done.

I apologize for my inactivity. I have a full-time job now, and my previous computer decided it no longer wants to work. I have a new computer so I'll try my best to help out in any way.
I finished the majority of plants and the horse, but unfortunately I no longer have the files. They were very outdated anyway. I suppose I could work on them again if someone could make the horse model and plant textures.

aw man, I would really be glad if I could get the plant files from you.
is this a server mod or a single player mod btw
Right now it's going to be single player. It might become smp in the future, but right now..nope.
Support my mod!
well I'll still use it when its finished
But yeah, farming and recipes could certainly be turned into a multiplayer experience... eventually.
