YAY! I loved Cooking Mama. Can't wait to try this one out. And I guess those ecoterrorists of PETA will be happy now. And this comes from a sworn vegetarian...

Is this more like harvest moon or like cooking mama in that you do little motions to plant and water, etc..

I liked both Cooking Mama games and they definitely have an air of quality about them. Hopefully this one will be just as good

It's just like Cooking Mama, where the motions are to plant instead of cook. There's a new selection screen where you can move around the garden as you plant, but it's classic Mama otherwise.

I suspected Mama grew her own vegetables for the Cooking Mama game, taking this logically She has now grows the said vegetables and then cooks them. Does this mean that we can now look forward to "Eating and composting Mama" the game, to round of the experience ?

if you liked cooking mama then i guess you also should like this. even though that this one seems to aim at girls even more than cooking mama did.

Its good, but it'd be pretty nice if they released this before cooking mama, so you could pull plants from your garden via a save game (possibly in COOKING MAMA 3?)

Played the first "plant" so far and it's decent for what it is. The new instructions will take some getting used to since none of the ones from Cooking Mama are repeated. So when she tells you to scoop fertilizer it's a brand new on-screen command you have to learn.

Really, this is the kind of game where it's just an extension of the idea already put forth. So if you liked Cooking Mama and wanted to know how Mama also gardens, you already know what this game is and how it plays.

Edit: Just want to add that this IS a Harvest Moon aspect to it. After you initially plant the seeds/seedlings, you do have to maintain them by watering and them eventually harvesting them. But it's definitely Cooking Mama in the garden, only your recipe doesn't end at the end of the first set of instructions, you'll keep going back and forth.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
