Harvest Island is going to have a DLC! I've asked the community if they would like a "Multiple Expanded Endings" for Harvest Island and the support is great! For a small niche community, this is good support! I'm already developing this DLC. Since my last announcement of a DLC, I had to think about what content would be good for it. So I brained stormed a little bit more, reread the reviews on how to improve the game more (Within my limitations/budget) and looked at the future of Harvest Island and it's sequel/prequel.
There are only 3 things that has reoccurred within the recent reviews.
1) People expect Harvest Island to be like stardew valley but horror (which is not)
2) UI is clunky (Limitations from the game engine. Out of my power as a developer. Fixing this would take an enormous budget/time and needs to be ported to a new engine.)
3) The story's ending isn't finished. (This is something I can fix)
I think Harvest Island should have a good ending. Where there are no to be continues. I'm doing this because Harvest Island sequel/prequel is on a hold due to budget issues. And I think waiting years before I get the budget to start developing it to complete the story is too much of a wait. And by then, I think people will forget about Harvest Island. I wish I had the budget for it. I honestly do. I have such great ideas... (This is why I'm making a smaller game called A Journey's End which is more affordable.)
So, making a DLC is the 2nd best thing. And it's time to add a good ending to Harvest Island. That's why I'm making this multiple expanded ending where it'll have 4 endings in total. This is very different from the alternative endings which I am not doing. Multiple endings are endings where all the endings are a part of the lore and story to the overall game.
Samantha's Ending
Will's Ending
Father's Ending
Mother's Ending
All of these endings will tie together to end Harvest Island in one complete cohesive story. And these endings are obtained during late game.
I won't be able to develop the sequel/prequel to Harvest Island but you will experience the conclusion of Harvest Island and be once again moved by the story its told.
And the price will be $4.99 for this DLC. There will be new character portraits, illustrations, trophies/achievements, music, and a bit of gameplay! Stay tuned for the release! (I have been secretly developing this before the announcement, so it'll be released! I'm almost done!)
