Advanced embedding details, examples, and help! Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland marks a significant shift in focus for the series, becoming more of a "life simulation" than the "farm simulation" it once was.
Unlike previous incarnations where the main objective was to resurrect a dying farm and ultimately turn a profit, this PS2 title presents players with a slightly more desperate predicament: The land upon which the village is built has been earmarked for the development of a new resort complex. Construction begins in exactly one year and in that time you'll have to find a way to save the village. Incidentally, there are nine different ways that this can be achieved, providing nine different game endings.
Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland is also the first title in the series to make use of 3D environments, and has included a user-definable camera that can be manipulated as needed with the aid of the right analog stick. The game also makes use of "cel-shading" -- a technique that has become synonymous with cartoon-style games. Among the most significant changes are that annual events are no longer celebrated; the axe and hammer have been removed from your inventory; the variety of crops has been reduced, and land no longer needs to be cleared before crops can be planted.
Also, the shipping bin has been eradicated, requiring that you take your crops to town yourself. You can use the -xhda command to extract an HDA file.
But be careful, any file inside the folder will be inserted on the HDA. So if you created files inside the folder, delete or move them before re-packing! Texts even after decompressed, have another layer of proprietary encoding that will make hard to edit the text, so once again, you need to use the tool to extract the text in a format that is easy to edit.
To extract the text, you can use the -xtxt command. The texts are separated into two files, one containing the texts, and another containing the pointers to the text. You need to supply both to the tool, otherwise it won't know where each dialog is located. It is usually but no always! The game begins as all games of this nature begin as if it is an unwritten rule that they must start this way. You inherit your grandfathers overgrown and unkempt farmstead and are given the task of turning it into the beating heart of the town, restoring a hearty economy and sense of togetherness with the townsfolk and ridding the evil corporation that aims to tear down the area in favour of building a theme park.
Although it can seem a little overwhelming at first, the routine you create becomes second nature in no time at all. While this game is by no means a visual masterclass, it offers a lovely pixelated aesthetic that really fits the laid back nature of the title. However, where other titles in the series looked rather primitive, the move to fifth-generation console hardware has allowed for a real step up in class. Then there is the changing of the seasons that, although very simple in premise, really does add another level of visual splendour to your humble little town.
The falling of leaves, the sheets of white snow. They all culminate to offer a really pretty and aesthetically pleasing place to spend hours of in-game time.
Well, aside from the new plotline that Save The Homeland follows, this game aspires to be much more social than the other outings.
