You know that feeling, that you were called to something greater? Something that itched at the back of your skull, knowing that, perhaps, you were destined for amazing things.
No?
How about mining instead?

Made in RPGMakerVXAce. Because ostentatious titles are cool. All the art/sound is built in stuff. One piece of code was grabbed from Himeworks, the rest was made between me and the chat on the lovely Twitch Channel www.twitch.tv/extracredits.
Big thanks to the Crediteers, and everyone who helped out.
RIP Shadowheart 2014.
EDIT: removed some functionality (animals) that were causing the game to crash at various points. If you get any further crashes, let me know!
Very funny :) Altough, I got a crash (some internal error) after buying a cow an walking a few steps. The idea is simple, but well executed, and I loved the tone of the dialogs. Very good, will try again later to complete it :)
Encountered a NoMethodError in FixNum, while running the animalless version. Other than that, marvellous.

I don't see Harvest Moon type RPG Maker games often so this was nice. The dialogue was fun to read but the game itself got repetitive fairly quickly and I wish it was more clear that the quota changed every 5 minute segment. Some music might have helped too. There's enough tracks in the RTP to have a new song every five minutes to keep it from getting repetitive.
I see the mechanics all there, but they just needed some more time. Also, be careful of grammar and punctuation mistakes. "YOU SHALL HELP ME RESTORE THE TOWN TO IT'S FORMER GLORY." Wrong "its!" =O
Liked how the dialogue and humour was used to undermine flaws and other issues. Interesting concept as well. Didn't get to the whole economics part of the game though, it crashed. :/
The whole thing feels like it moves too slow. The concept could be cool, but it needs to move a lot faster. The mining was tedious, and the fact that I had to wait five minutes even though I had what I needed already was a bit irritating as well. The dialog was awesome though, you really nailed that part, and the idea of making money in a shifting market is good, but you need a way to end the quests early, and the act of mining needs to be made either more interesting or less time consuming.

I was having some fun with this(although I think the PC is too talky).
