RPGM - Daily Lives of My Countryside [v0.3.1.1 Bugfix] [Milda Sento]

Not very good to be honest. The art is good but everything else is bad. Gameplay mainly consists of triggering events but to get those events there are many, many requirements the player needs to fulfill. At the beginning its fairly simple but the more the game progresses, the more complicated it gets. To the point where it just gets ridiculous.
Every character eventually works this way and you really have to engage with the characters, to have any clue what the hints tell you to do.
The game is extremely picky when you can do what, there is barely and flexibility. So if you want to trigger a certain event that just happens on that particular day, at that particular time you have to skip time until then. Then you have to fulfill all the other requirements. Have all the right tools and items. Only then you get to see the event.
Now I can see sometimes how that makes sense to make it a bit more complex for some longer events. But really all the events follow that eventually making it a chore to play.
There is some farming, where you can make some cash. But its also not very complex. You just plant the corn and eventually just sell that regularly.
Also there are way too many characters. Some have some content, some have little content, some have no content at all and are just introduced.
Overall there is not much content at all. You have maybe one proper sex scene per character, that's it.
Most stuff is just foreplay.
Overall I can't really recommend it, what I see most people doing is just take a save from someone else to look at the newest scenes and I kind of get it. Because getting the scenes is too much of a chore, like you'd have to play days just to get to one proper scene.
Is there at least a fun gameplay loop? Nah, not really. There is only really farming you can do but that is also extremely basic.

Excellent art and animations.
With each update this game gets better, and considering everything the creator wants to do, the complete game will be incredible. Milda Sento just needs to focus on finishing all the characters before creating one more.

Played the game a while back now and gave it some time for updates and playing it now the people i wanted updates for have barely been touched and they've been in the game frop the release lol dev is getting too ambitous with all this new content and should focus on what's already in the game imo.

Quite a fantastic game if you can get past the certain grindy stuff (you can easily cheat past it if you wish). You also have to be able to look past the shotacon and lolicon aspect of the game but hey it is a really enjoyable game to play through with fantastic art and continuous updates.

A problem i feel like is that the game is adding way too many girls, instead of finishing up the already existing ones, like, i expected the Anna and Daisy storylines to be already finished by now, but no, it hasn't actually go anywhere even after all this time, instead all i see is constant bug fixes and adding new girls, who barely has any scenes, which leads to the core problem: this game feels like it's just carpet bombing the content to try to hits all the categories, but all of it are unfinished and likely will stay unfinished for quite a long time, because the devs already set the goal way too high with so many girls now. Game is cool, it just very lacking in terms of establishing any meaningful progression.

The art is good and it have a very good animation with fine details, the designs are appealing although to be cartoonish. The game have a great variety of characters, the gameplay is easy and dont requires so much grinding. If you are searching a plot this isn't your game, if you like calm games or games without a goal this is you game.

Good game all in all with an easy cheat system if you don't want to go through the minutia and grind. Girls, while being reworked, look good and have nicrle animations. Seems to get a regular amount of updates, so certainly good to revisit once in while.

I love this game, but despite that I do not think it is flawless, I have been keeping up with Daily Lives of my Countryside for like a year now, and these issues and bugs seem to stay in the game instead of getting resolved.

Firstly, one thing that makes me kinda sad, is how easily you can access all the scenes from the game, all you have to do is select the "dream" option when interacting with your bed, and this allows you to see all scenes including the ones you have not unlocked yet, and it spoils the game for you. If you wanted to just access the porn without playing the game, you would not be playing eroge. This has a simple solution, devs can keep the dream room, but lock its content behind progress, or if that is too hard, they can just lock the "dreaming" option behind the cheating mod that the game already has.

Another thing (which is not as bad as my previous point) is how hard it is to access the phone, I know this just sounds lazy, but many eroges nowadays are made so you can play them with only one hand, having to reach all the way to the "p" key just to open up the phone is kinda annoying, I feel like the phone would be way better as a replacement for the menu, you could quit the game, select items and other things, I mean like this you are just separating things to two menus, which is annoying.

The art style is a 5/5, even the story makes you feel hella cozy. The game keeps adding up more exciting content with every update, but it seems to forget that improving on old additions should be a priority as well. The game could use a better quests system where you do not have to open up a phone and go through a giant list to see what you need to do to improve characters' relationships. Despite these flaws the game is amazing and well worth your time.

A game with a amazing style and dev level of scenes and images, a note of love to H-games, one of my most favorites game i ever play of this site if the dev keep working on this history the game may have a good ending on this site

pretty solid game that falls short due to the slow nature of the RPGM engine and bugs/crashes.

its nice that the game has an ingame walkthrough but it still ends up feeling slow and tedious to progress characters at times

imagine clicking back and forth through the walkthrough, advancing time and days in game, walking to the place you need to be to get the scene and forget to save and ur game crashes, it can get pretty annoying

there are in game cheats to help but they mostly feel like quality of life features (fast travel). affection is pretty easy to get just from pursuing scenes. the cheat for gold saves a ton of time though

the scenes are great though. if you're patient then def give this a play

One of the best art style, scenes and dialogue i've played on this site.

The Mabel (pink haired loli) content is insane, way too good, also pixie.
I'm gonna keep coming back to it everytime there's a new update.

But i feel like the pacing / way to access new content is kinda bad, lucky there's the phone cheats, but if it was a complete game i feel like there needs to be better ways to access new scenes, it's way too reliant on you knowing exactly where to be and the time to get it through phone.

I give it 3 stars overall, if you are a new player it's definitely five out of five. The issue with us guys who played it a long time ago is we already know how boring and terrible the pacing is, you get some quick action with your family members, but then scenes crawl in one by one, as per example one of the girls requires daily grinding and an event that only happens once a week at a specific time, and it takes like four+ of those events to trigger the content.

So for old players seriously consider forgetting bout the game till it's done then there might be enough content you are not constantly skipping time, or i dunno, use the cheat to stop wasting your real life time.

Questionable game decisions and translation but the scenes are some of the very best in the business. If nothing else check out the gallery, if you like sick shota situations including some I'm surprised they even get away with, this is the game for you.

Gameplay:
Quest-sandbox
So, this is RPG, so you have to look for places or npc to advance your quests, and then solve kind of puzzles. Also, there is a money-system and stuff to buy. No real main quest

Story:
Silly-porn. Well, there is sa magical realm and a bit of adventure. But mostly, it's several different adventures that you have to find. Many are just short without conclusions (or are not finished). You may get unsure of what to do without a walkthrough.

Graphics/Animation:
The art is beautiful. If you like, go for it.

Overall impression:
I liked the art. But you don't really know what to do most of the time. And the quest log doesn't help. As there is no real story, I was not really engaged. So, average impression.

*Chef's kiss* God I love this game. The art and animations are so hot and top quality. The story is fun and the characters have interesting stories. The loli and shota content is hot and you don't get to see that much in games with how much it is cracked down upon. The planting and harvesting things is boring but it is still a 5/5 in my book.

Very cool game with not boring gameplay.

Has a lot of characters with lots of differents scenes.

The art is very good and scenes are well animated.

The hint system with the phone is interresting but is maybe revealing too much things.

I would also suggest to allow the main character to dream only if cheats are activated or to show only exclusive scenes.

Besides of that, the game has nothing to change.

I recommend this game !

really really good game, I love the drawings an the animations also the story is very good. New update every few months and the bugfix is fast. I have played this game since 2019 and i think it never disappointed me
Probably my favorite game

8/10 as an ongoing game. The art and animations are niched, top notch. The plot needs more context, a little more character development, an improved system for when it's possible to advance in story or characters and the game needs more rpg elements when completed for a 10/10.

I want to like this game. Very cute art style, decent animations, open world, and vaguely similar to Stardew Valley. However, in its current state, comparing it to Stardew Valley is a bit of an insult to Stardew Valley.

1. My main gripe with this game is the complexity of "events". In order to progress with a girl, you need to do an extremely specific set of things at extremely specific times of day, with some of them spanning a week (get an F on the Friday test means no studying at all for a week, then the teacher gives you a blowjob or whatever, which is a requirement to continue elsewhere). There are things that assist with knowing what to do, such as the info in the phone (which is very confusing to understand), heart icons over characters, enabling cheats, and even disregarding all of that and "dreaming" about the events yourself while sleeping (which shows you almost all scenes for all characters). However, dreaming is just the scene itself without any story/dialogue, so if you have any interest in the story you'll need to slog through the events one at a time. Furthermore, due to the events being so complex, you're constantly checking your phone to see what you need to do next. Since slogging through the game how it's meant to be played is a real chore, and viewing the events while dreaming doesn't carry any story, there's really no draw to playing it.
2. The English is laughably bad. Almost every other box of dialogue has something misspelled or awkwardly written ("I'm the dangerous" - the female blacksmith). It's not meant to be a serious game so it's not a major deal, but it does show that the developer doesn't really care that much about the quality of their work.

v0.2.7.1 bugfix
Absolutely gorgeous game. The art is amazing. The scenes are animated, and animated well.
The backgrounds and sprites are also wonderfully well designed.
The waifus are wonderfully charming.

Unfortunately those positives are brought down by a horrible game.
There is no map to navigate with.
90% of your time is spent walking simulator.
there is a teleport cheat. Which requires you to both cheat and also way too many clicks to use.

There is no text history.
You will miss text.

Why even use RPGM if there is no combat?
The game is a kinetic sandbox.

bad quest tracking.
most quests are just not tracked at all.
and instruction on quests and event guide are unclear so require frequent checks to F95

Bad GUI all around.
Time skipping is a constant thing you do, but is a huge chore due to bad UI design

Time... jesus fuck the time. game tracks exact 24 hour clock, weekday, and month's day.
events are often limited to 1 specific hour in 1 specicific day.
Multiple events on multiple characters are even tied to "harvests" which occur once a month for 2 day period.

Randomness. some events require massive amount of repetition until you randomly roll for the event to show up.
Ex: cousin hide and seek. you need to randomly roll to beat her in rock paper scissors. then randomly roll for her to get stuck in the barn wall

room maps are far too big. often time you don't notice the quest marker because it is offscreen.
You need to walking simulator around the room to expose it.
which gives horrible synergy with date and time schema as well as the clumsy GUI.
Nobody is going to re-explore every nook and cranny for every possible time combo.
making walkthrough mandatory

+there is a skip button (shift)
-it only skips text and nothing else.
animations and sounds are very frequent and will run at normal speed when holding skip

The walkthrough hasn't been updated since v1.7.
Instead you rely on the in game event guide in your phone.
which is just bad. It just lists your progress step for that waifu and then an entire multi page list of most events you gotta scroll through.
listed in order. it doesn't track what you did or didn't do.
It very rarely clearly tells you when and where to do a thing. Sometimes I can figure it out, sometimes I can't.

The gameplay loop itself is:
grind affection slowly
grind money
locate the event to progress a step with that character
repeat.

I cheat as much as possible. but even with cheats this is tedious.
I have dropped and restarted this game multiple times.
Every time I spend hours cheating through all the new content as fast as I can.
Which is only so so in terms of speed.
