No one is interested?
Looks promising, actually. Not really interested until it's fully completed, as the most recent Harvest Moon on the 3DS is so feature-rich that I've got plenty of gameplay left in that one before I start looking for my next Harvest Moon-ish fix (which may end up being this!). 
I voted for Stardew Valley on Steam Greenlight forever ago. I was and still am excited for it to come out. I just played Harvest Moon FoMT for the first time so that probably explains it. Any word on the launch date (steam/desura/anywhere)?
Just that it will be in 2013.
My first HM experience was HM64 and I absolutely loved it. I've tried many iterations since then, including the Rune Factory games and I just haven't gotten hooked. Hopefully this will be different enough to feel fresh.
I want... now!
I loved boy and girl on psp and ps1(I think?) I tried innocent life but could not get into it, have not tried rune factory yet, it is on my to get list though.
Yep. Looking forward to it. Been years since I played Harvest Moon. Since the Gameboy colour/advance days I think.
So glad this is coming out on the PC.
Looks fun! I've never played a Harvest Moon game before but I've seen them a lot over the years and that has me a bit curious.
I've played a few hours into one of the many DS titles, but never much more of Harvest Moon. I'm intrigued to hear more from this game.
Game is still in development with regular updates, usually monthly. Just wanted to res the topic so new people might see it and get into it.
Yeah I have been following closely to his website, unfortunatelly it may be a year out realistically still.
Yeah, sadly.
New trailer!
Looks great!

Almost here! Two and a half days until release.
Stardew Valley solves the stagnation and repetition of gameplay in recent games in the Harvest Moon series and offers so many more spatial possibilities and customizing capabilities than similar precursors in design, such as Pokémon and Animal Crossing.
Woot!
I've been following it, very excited to try it out.
I'm very curious to see how this turns out; it's been on my radar since it was announced.
Been looking forward to this.

This.
Haven't played a Harvest Moon game since the PS2, but I played the hell out of that. Largely as a function of having just moved to a foreign country and entirely lacking any kind of social life, but still.
That looks adorable.
Paul Soares Jr did a quick look with a character that's about 6 hours in to show a few different things if you're interested and not worried about 'spoilers'.
Man, I'm really struggling with the decision to Day One this game.
If I wasn't knee-deep and having a blast with Pillars, it wouldn't even be up for debate.
Stardew looks charming as heck and it's totally in impulse price range. Plus the "1 man, 4 year passion project" development story is so intriguing as well. I want to acknowledge & rearward that dedication.
Perhaps I'll mentally justify it by considering Stardew & Pillars a ying/yang juxtapose of tone and cross my fingers that I don't drop one for the other. Instead thinking of it as part of a balanced gaming diet.
Yeah, that's how it happened.
ETA 10 hours.
Steam unlocks this at 1pm for me. Trying to get all my work finished before lunch. 
It's unlocked now!
I am loving it! Can't believe a single person made this.
