(1)Introduction
----
Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life is a game based on the life of a city girl living in
a farm.  You have to raise animals, grow crops, and get married.  This game is a
simulation where you get to experience the farm and family life to its fullest.
----
(2)Differences
----
There are some major differences in this game.  You can teach your dog tricks for one.
That is a fun difference and helps increase your relationship with your dog.  Another
difference is that the chapters are only a year long each.  Less game time, but you are
able to finish the game easily.  You are a girl (which is the main difference).  This is
great for all of us girl players.  A painful difference is that you have to fertilize your
field to grow fodder.  There are some simple differences like you can sell your goat, look
in a mirror, read your diary to check relationships, and change outfits.  There are eight
outfits.  The most expensive one is 3500g.
----
(3)Animals
----
There are various animals in the game including: dogs, a cat, cows, a horse, chickens,
ducks, a goat, and sheep.  Each animal requires different things, and gives you different
things in return.  Animals are my favorite part of the game.
Dogs:
There are two dogs you can get in the game.  The first one you get is in the first
cut-scene.  You have a choice between two dogs.  The only difference is there looks.  You
can train this dog.  To train, go up to your dog and press Y.  Y, X, A, and the joy stick
will now become tricks.  The first trick is dancing.  Your dog will dance as you spin your
joystick.  The more your dog is trained, the more spins he does while dancing.  The next
trick is shake.  As you hold the A button, your dog will move his paw towards yours and
slowly pull it back.  The more he is trained, the more times he does it.  The next trick
is jump.  As you hold the button your dog will jump into the air.  The higher he jumps,
the better he is trained.  The last trick is stand.  Your dog will stand up and sway.  The
better he is trained, the longer he will stand up.  You can also pick up and feed your dog
once a day to get your hearts up.
Cat:
You get the cat in the second chapter from Romana.  You can pick up your cat and feed it
to gain its love.  You can take your cat inside your house too.
Horse:
The horse is given to you in your first summer.  Everyday, you need to brush, nuzzle,
talk, feed, and ride your horse.  This will keep your horse happy and loving you as long
as you don’t bug him while he is sleeping.  The horse is very helpful if you want to get
around town fast and you can call him by pressing R twice.
Sheep:
Sheep cost 1500g and can be bought anytime.  They can be sheared about once a season after
buying wool shears for 400g or clippers for 1300g.  The quality of your wool along with
how your haggling skills are with Van will affect the prices of the wool.  Make sure you
brush, nuzzle, and talk to them everyday.
Goat:
You can buy a goat in chapter two.  They will produce milk for a year and then will be
useless.  You can always keep increasing your relationship by nuzzling, talking, and
brushing now, or you can just sell it, since they are now worthless.
Cows:
There are four types of cows you can get: Normal, Brown, Marble, and Star.  There are
different but random combinations of babies you can get by combining them.  You start out
with a normal female cow that had recently given birth.  This cow will give you plenty of
milk.   Eventually, she will stop sometime around fall or winter.  This is a time when
most people panic.  If you want her to give milk again, then you have to get her pregnant.
You can both buy a male cow, and wait 30 days for it to grow, or buy a miracle potion
with another cow for 2500g.  Then you have to wait 20 days for your cow to give birth.
After 10 days, you will put up a fence around your cow to protect her.  Then your cow will
have a baby that will go in the calf hutch.  You have to feed it with its mom’s milk until
it is out of the hutch and will eat fodder.  That process takes around ten days.  Then the
baby will have to grow up (taking 30 days) before it can take part of the pregnancy
process.

Ducks:
You get the ducks on a couple of conditions in your second summer.  You must have a pond
and space in your chicken coop to get them.  The female ducks don’t lay eggs, but
sometimes they will hatch from ones laid by chickens.  Make sure you pick them up and
nuzzle them everyday.
Chickens:
You have to buy your first rooster and hen for 900g a piece if you plan on getting more.
The female will lay unfertilized eggs without the male, but to get fertilized egg, a male
is required.  Then you can put the fertilized egg in the incubator and a chick will hatch
in 5 days with a random gender.  In 5 more days it will grow up.  You only need one male
chicken and the rest you want to be hens and the two ducks.  Always have space in your
barn for more chickens.  You can sell them for 150-450 depending on age which is a
reasonable profit.  Make sure you pick them up and nuzzle them everyday.

(5)Marriage
----
You are able to choose between 3 men to marry.  These guys are Rock, Marlin, and Gustafa.
They need to have 4 hearts and a rival cut-scene and a personal cut-scene before
proposing.  They all have different likes and dislikes.
Rock:
Rock wakes up around noon and is a partier.  He calls you babe and refuses to work on the
farm if you choose to marry him.  He likes Human Statues, some flowers (Mist Moons I
think), old coins, cheese and milk.  He is fairly easy to get if you can get presents to
give him.  He is a little wild and you will be living with a partier.  Rock hangs around
the spring and the inn.  His diary is in his room in the inn.
Gustafa:
Gustafa is a hippy who plays the guitar.  He will sing love songs to you.  Gustafa’s diary
is located in is hut.  He likes statues, flowers, and ores.  He wakes up after noon and is
found around his hut.  He can also be found just wondering around town.
Marlin:
Marlin likes curie, soup, and stamina potion.  He seems like a mean guy, but the closer
you get to him the more easily you will see his soft heart.  He likes agriculture and is
very shy.  His diary is found in the farther flower basket in Vesta’s house.

(6)Kids
----
You will start out in chapter two having a son.  He will be in the toddler stage.  You
will be able to watch him grow through the boyhood, teenager, and adult stages and watch
him choose a career.  There are three sons, all with different fathers and personalities.
Rock and Gustafa’s sons are the two extremes, and Marlin’s is a balance.  Here is an
example:
Rock-Naughty
Gustafa-Shy
Marlin-Balance
Kid Careers:
There are six careers your child can get (seven if you split the two types of farmers).
Depending on who you befriend, the items you show him, and the toys you get his career
will change.

(7)Buildings
----
Your House:
Your house will grow with you in this game.  You will start out with a few items.  If you
click on the table next to your bed you have a few options:
Save: Save your game.
Sleep: Sleep in the game.
Mirror: See how you are feeling.  If you are feeling fine you will usually say something
random.
Assets: You can check your relationship with your animals, your stats, how much money you
are making, your family relationship, what items you have gotten, and your mini-game
stats.
Next to that is a TV with a few channels:
Horoscope: Check your horoscope for the day.
Weather: Check the forecast for your area.
Farming: Get farm tips.
Random: Usually a fake shopping channel or soap opera.
Then there is your kitchen.  You will eventually get a real kitchen, but until then, this
is all you have.  Use it to cook, and eventually you will have more options than soups and
salads.  On the left side of the room there is a record player to change the music on your
farm.  It the bottom right corner there is a book shelf.  This is used to get information
and help on the game and to change configuration.  Going up on this wall, you can check
the calendar for the date and to see if any events are going on.  The last object in this
room is the dresser where you can change your outfits.  Eventually you are able to get a
kitchen, your son’s room, and a master bedroom.
Barn, Pasture, and Everything in It:
Your barn can hold up to eight animals and 999 pieces of fodder.  It is the big red
building connected to the Tool Shed.  The only types of animals it can hold are sheep,
cows, a horse, and a goat.  All of the animals will have one fodder bucket besides cows.
They have two.  You should keep the fodder baskets full so you animals stay well fed.  The
button on the inside brings animals into the barn and the button on the outside brings
them into the pasture.  If you pay 2500g then there will be a pond in your pasture.  The
only thing different about the pasture in this game is that you have to fertilize the
pasture.  It costs 40g for a bag of Fertilizer, and it only lasts for one square of the
pasture.  After you purchase the milking room it will be in the pasture.  When you push a
cow in there that is ready to be milked, the machine will milk it for you.
Food Storage Building and Food Processing Room:
The food storage building can be used for four things.
1.    The big doors in the back can store items like food.
2.    The right most chest can be used to sell plants.
3.    The middle chest can sell eggs and milk.
4.    You can buy items from the right chest.

cheese will turn milk into cheese.
Tool Shed and Chicken Coop:
There are two main parts of the tool shed.  The first part is on the left.  It olds every
tool you will ever get during the game.  Two of the tools, the fishing pole and brush,
must be bought from Van.  There are some strange tools that you can get by befriending
people, and the rest you can buy in the Food Storage room.  The second part is on the
right.  It will be where you pick up your medicine, chicken feed, blue feather, records,
ect. and where you can store various items.  If you buy the Seed Maker, then it will
appear in the bottom right.  If you put a harvested crop into it, you will get two seeds.
Then plant the seeds and repeat.  The chicken coop is fairly simple.  It can hold up to
eight chickens and ducks.  In the middle is where you put chicken feed and to the top left
is where you put fertilized eggs.

(8)Town People
----
There are quite a few towns’ people in this game.  All of them have there own
personalities.  Almost all of them like at least one type of flower or milk of some sort.
