Harvest Moon creator’s next game channels Minecraft

‘Birthdays’

Yasuhiro Wada, known for creating the Harvest Moon series, will go down as a legend. It’s sad that we’re seeing the confusing situation with Natsume happen (who is making its own Harvest Moon series to compete with Wada’s Story of Seasons), but those old games will always still exist.

And Wada has another game up his sleeve too, set for a January 19, 2017 debut in the west — Birthdays. It’s another chill sandbox game that involves terraforming a world to create life, which will bloom over time. A big aspect seems to be taking screenshots and sharing them.

Not excited? Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, which is a little more involved, is still coming to the west in 2017.
