Updates



This is just another section that I am adding to keep track of the progress of the guide as it develops.  Listed below are the version numbers and the updates made during each one.

v 1.00  
The original version of the guide.  I released this about a week after I got the game.  I had enough information to provide a little useful information, but nothing all that special except the quick start mining trick.  It contained basic information on crops, animals, tools, some of the buildings, how to find several of the harvest sprites and a quick section about the copy write and contact information available for the guide.  
v1.01
After another week or two of play, I found quite a bit more about the game.  I decided it was time for an overhaul to update the existing sections of the guide with the new information I have available, and it was also time to add some new sections that I finally have enough information to construct.  I added the mining and home shopping sections and updated the crops, tools, animals, and building's sections.
V1.02
Another much needed update.  I am adding a couple of new sections this time and finally adding some of the email input to the game.  Keep it coming.  Also, a new section this time is an Analytical look at harvest moon.  If you have some time on your hands and want to see what makes the game tick inside have a read over it.  Sorry its so long but it is a complex topic that needs explaining and exploring.  I have also updated most of the major sections with new information and added the credit do some others whom without this guide would not be possible.  Additionally, I added some new sections including the much requested marriage section and an outline of how to hire the sprites and their casino games. Keep the submissions coming.  
V1.03
Another week and another update.  The guide is finally starting to take its final shape.  I added a four more new sections this time on the information I had available and updated a couple of older sections.  The guide is finally starting to take its final shape now that most of the major sections are in place.  I will continue to update them as more information becomes available. I will also begin working on the walkthrough in the near future as well as the family life.  
v1.04
Another much needed update to the guide.  This time I added several new sections including recipes, fishing, resource management, accessories, and a FAQ.  Additionally, I updated several older sections slightly.  We now have all the harvest sprites and how to unlock them and I finished updating the price list for the home shopping network.  All the major sections of the final guide are now in tact except for the walkthrough, which I plan to start working on soon.  This will be the last major update to the guide for a while.  The walkthrough will take some time and I need to get deeper into the game before I can write a complete one.  I will update some of the other sections as information becomes available periodically.  But, I won’t be adding any more new sections until I have a child or finish the walkthrough.  Keep the emails coming thanks to everyone who contributed.  You have made this guide a success.  
v1.05
Well, we have another update to this growing guide.  I have done quite a few corrections this time.  I have also update several sections including information on animals and tools.  I have also finished the marriage section, though I still need to write one on family life once I have a family.  I am married currently and expecting a child in about a season.  I also added a section about the remaining town's people and their likes and dislikes. Finally, I got around to starting on the walkthrough for the game.  It is located as the last section down below.  The walkthrough is currently in it's beginning stages, but there is still some useful information there so take a look.  This guide has come a long way from my original intentions of just sharing some useful information about the game.  But, were getting there.  Thanks to everyone who contributed to the guide keep the emails coming. 
V 1.06
Hello again everyone. Another couple of weeks and another update to the ever popular growing guide of harvest moon DS. This is a simple update in contrast to the last few of them. I am adding only one new section which, deals with events in the game. I have been playing a few other games and got away from harvest moon DS for a while, but I am back now. I am also expanding the several existing sections of the guide with new information. Finally, I am redoing my legal agreement do to the confusion I have been receiving in emails over the last month. If you submitted something or are hosting this guide please take a look at the updated and revised legal section concerning the new rules. Not much has changed, but I wanted to be a little more precise this time. I should also apologize that I haven't really gotten around to the walkthru update yet. I will get to it in the near future.
