Harvest Island News

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hi everyone! I know it's been a while, but I have big news! I’m excited to share that Harvest Island is being rebuilt from RPG Maker MV into Godot! This is more than just a change of engine or a port, it’s a chance to revisit the game from the ground up, polish it, and add everything we’ve always wanted. At the moment, there is no date or expected finish time, but the roadmap below will show the priorities. Throughout the re-work, I will be inviting testers, as needed, to test the new build of the game. [/p][p]Why re-build in Godot? A smoother foundation for future updates Space to add new features, story content, and mechanics A full roadmap leading into 2026 with expanded lore, quests, endings, and systems.[/p][p]Here’s what’s new so far: Becky’s story has been expanded with redesigned levels. I’ve added dynamic lighting and a horror atmosphere to make the island feel more alive. Movement is now completely free (no more grid!) with an improved camera system. You’ll also notice animated character portraits during dialogue and intuitive object interactions for a more immersive experience. [/p][p]The Harvest Island 2.0 future Roadmap (see image below) [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Phase 1: New story content, redesigned levels, free movement, dynamic lighting, Steam Deck support, more interactions [/p][p]Phase 2: Farming overhaul, revamped cooking, story cohesion, new systems, reworked achievements[/p][p]Phase 3: Localization, expanded lore, reworked sanctuary, secret expanded endings, and a full no-cliffhanger finale [/p][p][/p][p]This rebuild opens the door to making Harvest Island the best version of itself.

-fixed sea turtle pet over limit
-fixed icon issues at god statue lake
-fixed sheep display issue with talk

Fixed small display issue with barn lvl 4 not showing correctly the item listed when upgrading

-partially fixed the fishing but with various monitor rates.

Can't fully fix due to crappy engine. Please use the red glowing diamond in your room to manually change the monitor rate. You can use this to change the difficulty of the fishing as you need to.

Happy Holidays!

It's been one year since harvest Island release!!! Woooo! I'm proud to have made this game. And I'm also grateful for the fans that stuck around and enjoyed the game as well.

Throughout the entire year, I've been updating Harvest Island and improving on where it needs best. The community has been helpful and most welcoming in sharing their opinion and their feedback in regards to the game. Most of you loved Harvest Island and a few have not. The ones that didn't liked it voiced their strong opinions about the game and they were crucial to me in fixing the game.

Since the game's release, it was buggy, lacked horror elements, and didn't have a strong premise to start with. Now, with all the updates and patches, the game has significantly improved. A lot of illustrations were added into the game, making Harvest Island more unhinged and dark. More different types of jump scares were added. An extended ending that offers more lore to the game's story. Several bug fixes since release, UI improvements, and a developer's guide that helps you navigate in the game.

Overall, Harvest Island is grim and horrifyingly darker than it once was since release. It is a must try! So, Harvest Island will be at a 40% discount this steam Autumn sale as well as the DLC!

There's so much I've learned since making Harvest Island. I've learned what it takes to make a good game and how much time it's required to make one. And from all of that experience that I've learned, my next game will be even better than Harvest Island. It's inspired by Spirited Away!

Wishlist my new game I'm working on called,
A Journey's End! And follow the kickstarter as well!
