    Is this possible?
    http://www.square-go.com/feature/932 - in this review, the writer mentions that there are some items that can be bought. Are those for your house and/or clothing/appearance?

    I'm very excited for this game, I love Animal Crossing, never played Harvest Moon though.

    Hey happy valentines day to everyone! For those that dont have a valentine I hope that true love (and/or lust!) comes your way in the near future ;-)

    Anyway I can clarify a few things about Astro Ranch customisation.

    Yes you can change your characters outfits - for launch each character (Sindy/Max) will have 3 themed clothing packs available in the online shop. A clothing pack contains 4 outfits and will cost 59p / $0.99

    Yes you can change the carpet/pictures/furniture in your house. Again these come in reasonably priced DLC options! There are also limited edition objects for your ranch such as flags, animal gravestones and fountains available only via DLC.

    We might add some free custom options in the first update as well but for now we want to see how many players enjoy customising their game and what adding that extra content is worth.

    Cheers
    P

    Um yeah thanks I'm aware of that but I was asking if it is still on track for the week of the 21st? As far as I'm aware it hasn't been submitted yet?

    On track!

    Will be submitted this evening. The 4am stint last night seems to have done the trick... only now are we fully aware of just how large this game actually is! Testing has been a nightmare due to the interdependancies involved. Very proud of the tiny development team. They have "almost" achieved what I would expect a team three times the size to do.

    BTW played the game all day today and was dragged kicking and screaming away from my ranch to post this and do some other marketing work. Got to be one of the most enjoyable, if not the most enjoyable, mobile games I've ever worked on!

    Very Cool

    I've been wanting a Harvest Moon game for the iPhone. But this looks like it could be a nice alternative. Can't wait for the release.
