Sale at the Marvelous USA Online Store!

While the Steam Sale may be over, you can still pick up some of the latest and greatest in the Rune Factory and Story of Seasons series at a nice discount from the Marvelous USA store. Especially nice if you're the type who prefers physical media, considering the Switch 2 editions are all on-cart and not game key cards!

With even Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, one of the best games in the series, as low as $19.99 for the standard edition, it's certainly worth checking out!

Mod News: Lloyd x Jules Rival Events and Romance!

Lloyd X Jules rival events

HUGE lloyd x jules mod with LOTS of new rival features for these two that the base game doesn't have. Full of headcanons lol.

Some of the most exciting mod news since the Flora Mod for A Wonderful Life: NexusMods user Rachtehcool has released a Lloyd x Jules mod that allows the two to get together. The mod features entirely new events, letters, animations, and dialog.

Truly another incredible step forward in Bokumono modding history.

Day 5 and a new sticker design! Repping my love for Harvest Moon. Even in a post-Stardew world, I'll always love Back to Nature.

POV: You're being told how to pronounce "Calvervtutrp" for the fifth time (you're still not sure how) Redesigning Jamie is hard, since they're already so close to perfection. I mostly just evened out their proportions to better suit a more modern design sensibility! We stan a nonbinary icon ✌️
