Marrying Carter in Harvest Moon DS Cute! (North American version)

oh… sorry no not the archaeologist, i mean Pastor Carter from Mineral Town!

(or is it Pastor Curdy….?)

teeechnically his descendant, and it causes a game over… but this is the only time we’ve been able to marry him right?

so in the girl version of HMDS, there’s two “secret” Mineral Town bachelors that you can marry by talking to them enough times on the phone. one is Mason, the guy who runs May’s Tailoring… but the second, Pastor Carter, is a bit more obscure…

i couldn’t find them uploaded anywhere so here are his 2nd* thru 10th conversations+his proposal+proposal rejection in english! if you want to see it on youtube instead here you go

*i failed to record the first conversation when it happened, and there’s no way in hell i’m resetting my whole game again (…yet), so…just know the first one was like “oh you want to talk? what should we talk about…….. …… ….. …. i can’t think of anything. well see ya………” extremely riveting stuff

he’s so obscure that i didn’t even realize that he was a bachelor until i found out about the mechanic from this japanese wiki!! (here’s an archive link to the page on him in case the page doesn’t work) all i did was test whether it worked in english since i couldn’t find any english info at all mentioning it. i’m sure others have found him… right……..

in case the links above don’t work, a small guide to holy matrimony below the cut since i can’t find one in english

it works essentially the same as the Mason marriage (so it’s just a game over, sadly…), and the steps are pretty tedious and counterintuitive, so you’re unlikely to just stumble across it… but you too can get a priest to break his vow of celibacy for you or whatever!

you will need:

at least 2,050,000 G

20 cursed tools/accessories

if you really don’t want to dig up 20 cursed things you can substitute 100x “remove a cursed tool/accessory” for blessing a cursed tool…

but, including all the cursed tools and accessories, there’s only 16… which means you will need to go dig up 4 duplicate cursed accessories using this method! yay!!! extremely pointless since you can’t sell blessed accessories until after marriage in DS for girl (at which point you can’t trigger pastor carter’s proposal)

you unlock a conversation with cardi when you spend at least 205,000 G. which means the quickest thing to do is to order removal of a cursed item five times, then bless 2 cursed items.

**be careful when blessing accessories to only equip one at a time!!! if you equip a stack of duplicate accessories, blessing that stack destroys the duplicates!!!! :( so just take 1 out of the stack and equip it!!!**

you also can’t unlock more conversations until you’ve seen the one you unlocked, so like even if you spend a million G you’ll just unlock one conversation, and you’ll need to finish that conversation and then spend 205,000 G to unlock the next one…yeah….

on the tenth conversation he abruptly reveals that he’s fallen in love with you and asks you to marry him! it ends your game, but….! on the bright side, it ends your game!!! you’re finally free from Hell Simulator!!!!

do you believe in god?

I’m still on my flipnote brush bullshit. Fake video game screen my beloved, this is literally 2fps, smooth 24 frames, I’ve never met her. I just love the way this turned out even tho I wasted a lot of time on frames I didn’t use.

If you follow me on Instagram I fixed it, believe is still spelled wrong on the ig post but I fixed it before posting it here. I know how to spell I promise. Now I’ve noticed one of the fly layers is turned off here and I gotta fix it. You’re not seeing it cause I’m fixing it but past me is mad, god damn it. I’ve exported this so many times with so many errors I’m never animating in photoshop ever again (lying, I will be)

Here’s the unused panels. It was gonna be a jumpscare but I couldn’t get it to look a way I liked so I scrapped them.

Hyper Light Breaker - Early Access Coming Early 2025

Hey everyone,

We’re so grateful to all the members of the community who have expressed ongoing support and enthusiasm for Hyper Light Breaker’s Steam Early Access  launch. After much evaluation and many conversations with our publisher Arc Games, we’ve decided that we need just a little more time to get the gameplay experience polished to our standards.

Therefore, we’re now looking at an Early Access launch date of very early next year.

We don’t want to ship a project, even in Early Access, that we’re not satisfied with on a number of fronts. Especially in the current state of the industry, we need to put as good a foot forward as we can.

As always, we believe in maintaining a sustainable pace of development for our team, which means taking care of the mental and physical health needs of everyone first, rather than burning the team out trying to hit a specific set launch date. This will enable the team to offer better, more responsive support to community feedback during the Early Access period itself.

Trust that we REALLY want to put Breaker out there, and see people engage with a game that we’ve all worked so hard on. However, we also REALLY need to make sure that the core foundational units of the game are as strong as they can be, so that we can build on them during the Early Access period.In the meantime, we are confirmed to be showing Breaker at multiple events to get your feedback as we continue getting Breaker ready for Early Access launch! We’ll have a demo of Breaker at PlayNYC + AnimeNYC in New York City, XOXO in Portland, and Media Indie Exchange in Seattle. We’re also currently planning additional public demos at DreamHack in Atlanta and MAGFest in Maryland. So, if you absolutely can’t wait to get your hands on the game when it launches in Early Access, you can at least catch us out in the wild at these events and give us feedback on how the game is shaping up so far!

Thank you everyone  for your continued support of our games and the people who make them.

For the most up-to-date info on Hyper Light Breaker and our other projects, follow us on social media or jump in our Discord.

XD-Arcade

XD-Arcade is a Tickle Monster which mimics a standard Arcade Machine. Instead of being operated with Coins, in order to be able to play and start Games the Player has to wear either the red or blue Armband which are contained inside the small Pouch on the lower half of the XD-Arcade Machine. Once the Player wears one of these, they are connected to the Machine and are finally able to play the Games on it.

Said Games range from Puzzles to Platformers to RPGs - with the Twist that they all contain Tickle Themes within them.

If the Player takes Damage inside these Games (such as getting hit by a Monster inside the RPG or falling off a Platform in the Platformer Game) or loses inside Minigames (such as running out of Time in a Puzzle Level), they will suddenly feel a tickling Sensation across their ticklish Spots as if invisible Hands/Feathers were tickling them.

Furthermore, if the Player chooses a Game which contains a Player Character (like an RPG), the Player appears to feel what the Player Character feels (as an Example, the Player Character's Stomach being tickled by a Slime). This is very likely caused by the Player wearing the Armband as it connects them/their Soul to the Machine.

Interestingly enough, the XD-Arcade seems to know each and every Players' Preferences (where their most ticklish Spots are, where they are uncomfortable being tickled/touched at, etc) and actively avoids touching certain Areas (such as Injuries, for Example a Leg inside a Cast, or anything that would make the Player uncomfortable/feel Pain).

The XD-Arcade allows for two Players to play at the same Time and even compete with each other inside Minigames.

The Players are also able to remove the Armbands at any given Time they want.
