Fuuuuck. I'm holding off buying it because I've got a paper to write, but this game just keeps getting better and better.

[Djohaal]

has anyone figured out what does the gift checkboxes mean in the social menu?

[BigD145]

Their secret fav gift and other slots of less fav gift, perhaps? Give fiber and rocks to everyone and see what changes.

[Culise]

I don't know, but I assumed it had to do with this.

• You can only give people a gift twice a week, instead of one a day like in similar games. This is tracked in the social tab so you don't accidentally overdo it.

Is there an easier way to do the fishing mini-game then mashing the left mouse button? I feel pretty incompetent because I fail nine times out of ten.

You can hold it instead of rapidly tap it.

Also autoclickers, if tapping works better.

Trying to do the Introductions quest, which is simply talking to and introducing yourself to every single person in town and thus not spoilery at all. I've gotten 26/28 done, but there's three people left on the social list. One is Sebastian, Robin's son, and I have no idea what time he crawls out of his hole.

Spoiler: The other two (click to show/hide)

I think one is the wizard who lives in the tower southwest of town. I think the other is named Leah since the house across from the animal dealer will say "Only friends of Leah can enter uninvited" and there's no one else on the list of townspeople with that name. No idea how to contact either one.

Thanks for the info; it gave me the push to buy the game!

The wizard doesn't count, he seems to stay locked inside (probably unlocks on another season?). I believe there's a miner (he's stuck in front of the mine with a boulder blocking his way on the first few days), which I think doesn't count either.
I'm having trouble getting the Ranch lady's niece, Jas. I've never seen her, I think I'll camp on their door!

About clicking, maybe the X/C keys work? You can assign keyboard keys for the left click / right click actions, and I'm using that since my right mouse button is working poorly and I just can't fix it, and I don't feel like buying another mouse.. 

By the way, the dev even managed to keep that "mysterious" vibe in the game. Since I don't know any mysteries nor their explanations, I'll just describe what I heard/seen in-game, so minor spoiler (or 'medium' spoilers if you really don't want to know anything!):

There are weird noises when you walk around sometimes. They seemed to happen more frequently on a certain area, but that might be my imagination. There also might be a connection to what the fortune teller (on the TV) says about the spirits, noises seemed more constant when spirits were annoyed or really pleased (not sure the certain phrases she uses).
There's also some weird totems spread around that might be connected to the fictional religion people have in-game.

I love this kind of thing..it makes me feel like a kid. Anyone remember the 'secret' 'gnomes' (spirits?) from Harvest Moon? That blew me out of this world as a kid.

It's really fun to even have this "Is this some actual stuff in the game, or am I making this up?" thought in 2016.

PS: Sorry for my nostalgia-ridden feels. But HM was a real huge part of my childhood. I even lied to told a kid from my class back then that the dog on HM could have puppies if you did some weird thing, and 2 years later he would still ask me to give him a copy of my save game.

Jas was easy. I found her and Vincent being tutored by Penny at the library/museum.

Ooo thanks for the tip. I tried going to the wiki but there was everything she liked, disliked and all that spoilery stuff..with no info of where she'd hang out.
The funny thing of this kind of quests is that everyone will always have that one NPC that they have a hard time finding.

Spoiler: PS1: Leah (click to show/hide)

 The only thing I remember about Leah is that she hangs around the town square a lot, but I don't think this could help.

Spoiler: PS2: Love interest (click to show/hide)

 Did you choose your marriage target yet? I choose Abigail. She reminds me of Veela, a singer which is one of my dream girls. 

[Ultimuh]

I am going for Maru in my current playthrough.
And as far as my courting have gone (currently 1 heart), I have found a few of her likes/dislikes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Positive response: Topaz, Quartz*
Neutral response: Daffodil
Negative response: Copper ore

*This may or may not have been a Neutral response.
I kind of forgot because I had other stuff (talking in my cellphone) going at that particular moment.

[Gabeux]

Niiice! She was my second choice, actually. 
I'm pretty sure if we keep posting, we'll end up making the whole board get the game. I'm on the 8th day now and I enjoy it a lot.
It's silly, but I love how expressive the characters are. Not only they make the old-school emotes like in HM and other games, the faces, poses and 'exhales' the character does makes things really funny. Pretty sure my character did the 'Fry Face' when someone told him something weird.
Oh yeah, and the character portraits also have different expressions, so that's 3 ways for the characters to express themselves!

[Sappho]

Ahh, I'm rested up, time to start playing again. One thing I don't like (literally, the only thing so far) is that all the single men seem to fit some teenage stereotype. There are no male characters who are just mature "guys" who aren't married. All the single ones look like members of a boy band, and I would never be attracted to any of them in the real world. I'm going for the doctor now, just because he seems the least boy-bandish, but he's also kind of gross. What's the deal with that? The female dateable characters all seem fairly normal, from what I've seen so far. Which is odd, because normally it's the other way around.

I mean, there's the boy who thinks about nothing but sports, the moody emo one, the musician, the nerdy germophobe... Are you supposed to be 15 in this game? I'm 30 years old and it's a bit strange for me to have to choose my mate from a pool of teenage stereotypes. Maybe I'll just date one of the girls... At least that's an option.
