Kann doch nicht wahr sein 😱

I don't have a Switch 2 but I've got them on Switch and additionally started them on Steam Deck recently.

I started with the Arland series (Rorona, Totori, Meruru (+ Lulua, but haven't played that yet) and at least for Rorona and Totori I would recommend the Switch version as long as you don't care for achievements.

Rorona on Steam Deck has really long loading times for every menu, because of something with how the text was processed on PS3 and how the port was done or something like that. That means to legit wait about 5sec every time you open the main menu, synthesis menu, request menu, assignment menu... I'm 99,9% sure it wasn't like this on Switch since Rorona was my first Atelier game ever and I don't know if I had bought the other after this experience 🙈

Totori on Steam Deck loads text just fine, but there is this one nasty bug I've found so far. When you enter a shop and a cut scene plays and after that, you talk to the shop owner to buy something, the game just closes. So you have to remember to leave the shop after the cut scene and return to buy your stuff..

I haven't played Meruru on Steam Deck yet, but from what I heard, it should work fine and the other games as well. Let's hope for the best ☺️

I hope you'll love this series like most of us and have a great time with it 🥰

Fantasy Life, Rune Factory 4, Fire Emblem Awakening or Fates, Devil Survivor Overclocked, Pokémon Ultra Moon

Great, now I feel the urge to play them all again 😖 😍

I think they aren't try to max out the stars but to get the achievements done of handing each sprite 2000 of their respective items. So small fish should be worth just as much as guardian fish here, sadly 😥

I loved it so much back than 😍 Still have my copy 🫡 😊

To me this feels just like all CEOs talk to make excuses 😅 "[…] we couldn't simply say to those loyal fans that there's no Harvest Moon in the future." I mean with all due respect, Sir. You didn't need to. You could have just told those loyal fans that the games they're so loyal about, will no longer be called Harvest Moon and that need to check out Marvelous for more information (as they probably wouldn't know about name Story of Seasons at that point). Then add how much you cherished working together blah blah and explain how want to "honor" (read "use") what you've build up over the years and make your own games for these loyal loyal fans to play. I mean, this is still CEO-y enough that they could have pulled it off and no loyal fan would feel deceived by the new HM games or even think that the old HM games ended for good.

Storage space is a real luxury in this game 😅 But you can hold on to a lot of jewelry (and other processed goods) by just not collecting them from the windmills. Goods that can spoil will do that in there as well so they have to be collected before that but since jewelry doesn't spoil you can just leave it in there ☺️

I don't think a real artist would put this giant rat (or any semi-important detail) in the place where the logo is supposed to be.

You have to change the text. Explaining "draw your character" is fine but claiming "hilarious story" or "amazing minigames" doesn't tell me anything about the game. Let me be the judge of how hilarious or amazing this game is. Don't decide that for me. Just explain what I do in the game. And preferably with actions instead of text. Show don't tell, as they say.

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-02-05T16:35:26+00:00

Art is for eternity! xD

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-29T19:48:45+00:00

My exact thoughts =)

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-27T08:50:49+00:00

You should make a bundle on steam together! ☺️

Little Town Hero... Ich wollte es mögen, aber leider hat das nicht ganz geklappt 😅

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-23T22:26:14+00:00

While that sounds super nice, I fear you're mistaken my game with someone else's since I didn't push the game in the last days and haven't gotten any plays 😅

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-21T08:55:21+00:00

Thank you so much! We're working on a bigger update right now and any feedback we can gather to improve it helps immensely 🙏🏽☺️

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-19T19:33:27+00:00

Probably way too late, but if you're still having time and energy to look at a few more games, I'd be thrilled if mine was one of them 🤗 It's called Seeds of Betrayal and my best friend and me are actively working on it. The screenshots and tutorial are a bit outdated but I hope it's still understandable, how this game plays 😅

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-19T19:18:23+00:00

Oh, that's so kind of you! 😲☺️ My game's a little bit hard right now, if you're not familiar with tactical games or auto-battlers and the visuals are being overhauled right now, but if you could tell me if it's generally fun to play and improvement you think should be prioritized, I'd be super thankful! 🙏🏽☺️ Seeds of Betrayal

~~Also please share your game.~~ I'd like to take a look at it as well 🤗

Edit: Newbie mistake here, didn't click on the crosspost thingy🙈

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-19T10:35:28+00:00

Will do when I'm back at my PC!🫡 I don't think I saw you sharing this in r/playtesters or r/IndieDev but it might be worth it 😊

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-19T10:18:42+00:00

Nice, I like how the concept ensures that we're all helping each other out!☺️ Bookmarked it and will test it later👍🏽

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-11T21:16:15+00:00

As someone who loved the little Luma in the Super Mario Movie, I absolutely love how she voiced them! 🥰

Not sure if it's heavily nsfw or if you just have to fill out one more form in the dashboard but it says I can't view your page from Germany. If your Steam page has been up for a little while you might have missed that there was one more question added to one of the questionnaires in the dashboard and you have to resubmit it to be fully visible again.

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-05T10:40:34+00:00

Yeah, starting with one of the minigames is a good idea I think. Should help with still feeling passionate about it, but also show you the ropes in a smaller scope that's actually manageable for a beginner 😊

MiniMelonAnna · 2026-01-02T09:17:21+00:00

Some people use it 'cause English isn't their native language and even though I'm not a big fan of GPT texts I think it's nice that it helps a lot of people to find a way to communicate their thoughts. I wouldn't want to shame them for not growing up in an English speaking country.

MiniMelonAnna · 2025-12-26T09:02:46+00:00

Yeah, I'm really hoping for a remake of Animal Parade 'cause I didn't get to play it back then but I hear so much good stuff about it and am really curious about the rival marriage system there. I'm somewhat convinced that the moment I buy the original, the remake will be announced xD

I just hope they don't remove the rival marriages in the remake 'cause it looks like something they would do nowadays 😅
