Harvest Moon (SNES) Randomizer

About

This is a program that reads a user-provided English Harvest Moon SNES ROM and generates a new .sfc file with the desired randomization options applied. The current build (v1.1) is stable overall, but there are some bugs and should be looked at as a beta build. If you encounter any that aren't listed in the "Known Issues" section, please feel free to let me know through the contact info at the bottom of this page.

Randomization

• Buildings, overworld locations

• Forageables, animal products, crops, weeds/rocks

• Starting tools, tool upgrades, special/event tools

• Starting Season

• Music

Quality of Life

• Skip the introduction sequence

• Change the color of Jack's clothes

Planned Additions

• Randomize NPC schedules

• Randomize prices of shop items

• Include back rooms in the building randomization pool

• Allow building and overworld pools to be mixed (i.e. entering the church leads to the farm)

• Custom player sprites

• Automatic fast text without holding A

Known Issues (v1.1)

• Some tools may become unobtainable, consider not randomizing Starter Tools and Golden Tools on the same ROM if you're going for marriage or Best Ending. Additionally, the vanilla spawns for the Blue Feather and Snowseed Flower have been left unchanged as a failsafe; choosing to randomize them will add two additional tools to the starting set.

• Picking up certain items won't cause the item on the ground to disappear

• Jack's clothes return to their default palette while outside at night

• If the farm is located on the summit, the mountain screen will have a white palette overlay until 7:00 AM
