INTERVIEW WITH NATSUME

[Bulerias]

Hi guys,

I am in the process of interviewing someone from Natsume regarding their upcoming DS game, Rune Factory. Which questions do you think I should ask? I would appreciate prompt feedback.

 

[Tyler]

Are you allowed to ask them questions about games that are alike.. such as Harvest Moon?

Well, the topic of the interview is Rune Factory... as long as you could relate it to that game, then it's fine.

How will Rune Factory be diffrent from the rest of the Harvest Moon series?

What wifi features will Rune Factory have?

 

[Bulerias]

How are these?

Could you please introduce yourself for our readers?

Tell us a little more about Rune Factory in general. How will it be different from the other Harvest Moon games? What Wi-Fi features will the game have?

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that Harvest Moon is receiving such a huge spin-off. Do you guys intend to have Rune Factory as just a one time deal, or is this going to be a new property? I understand that there is already a sequel on the DS to Rune Factory out in Japan, but will it go further than that? A Wii game, perhaps?

What inspired Rune Factory? Was it the want for something new [a reinvention of the Harvest Moon series], or...?

Will there be any other Harvest Moon spin-offs in the near future? Or, perhaps, is Natsume considering delving into new IP territory?

Any last notes for our readers?

What type of RPG game will it be? Is it just a dungeon crawler/farm sim? Are there several customization features (eg. Furniture for your house, weapons, armor). If there is a house, that is.

 

[Bulerias]

Updated them...

How does dungeon crawling and farm simulation integrate into one game? It seems like a great idea for genre melding!

Well, anyway...


I'd like you to ask about the RPG elements. I'm intrested about that.

My guess is that they won't be able to answer a lot of those. You wouldnt want them to constantly say "we cannot reveal that kind of information at this time", etc...

Actually, I think he will be able to answer... judging by what he told me.

I doubt it, Storm.

The game has been in development for some time now.

I meant the questions about future games.

 

[Bulerias]

Alrighty, updated with all of the most recent requests.

I shall leave this thread open for another day, and then I'll gather the best ideas and send off the interview to the guy.

Meh, I think it's worth a shot!

One more thing...

Ask them about the Harvest Moon Wii game. (Much info and screenshots were released about it before the Wii was launched.)

I'm afraid I'm confining this particular interview to Rune Factory... Sorry. My rep told me I would get the most answers if I asked about Rune Factory mostly.

Well, just give em a little hint about it.

 

[DarthGohan1]

I wouldn't suggest asking too much about the Wii game, as suggested, Bul, but do ask if there are any plans on having connectivity between Rune Factory and Tree of Peace (the Wii HM).

I'll ask him the second question.
