Wada talks Hometown Story's conception, characters and more
Coming from a Nintendo Life interview with creator Yasuhiro Wada...
Motivation for the project
“My early motivation was a very personal story as I was inspired by my hometown, but at the same time I understand that everyone has a hometown and everyone has nostalgic feelings about it. Everyone adores where they are from!”
On connections with in-game characters
“You can actually expect stronger characterisation in Hometown Story compared to my previous games. After so many Harvest Moon sequels, the characters can become a bit clichéd. With Hometown Story you can expect fresher characters and more storyline behind each of them. You will have over 100 characters coming into the shop, but only about 30 of them have a full story that you can enjoy.”
