I've finally got the item shop for COTSM done! It's a little empty currently, but as more items are developed it'll soon be packed full.
The shop's normal hours are 6AM to 11PM but, the owner goes out to lunch at noon.
When you first walk in the owner, Teddy, will greet you. His greeting will depend on the time of day and whether or not the store is having a sale.
There is all sorts of tools for sale you can buy at the store. Some are for recreational value while others will be necessary to solve cases. They'll be covered in the next update!
lol, well IDK if I would call it inspired by Harvest Moon because I never played it. But yeah, there is some definite Animal Crossing inspiration But this is definitely a much smaller game, I expect people to get a couple weeks of gameplay at most out of this. I'm hoping the smaller scope will allow me to actually get done The main inspiration goes to the concept Shigesato Itoi spoke of in an interview with Nintendo's Satoru Iwatta- http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/04/itoi-iwata-and-old-mother-3/ It's awesome to hear two of my game developer heroes disuss one of my favorite games (Animal Crossing)!
