VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Love Season: Farmer's Dreams [v2.0 Final+DLC] [MuseX]

This used to be a 4.5 star game with 5 star potential - I would guess many of the newer 5* ratings are people who are just discovering the game and not realizing the story first started about 7 years ago. The first ~2/3 of the game content is good. That part of the game came over from Farmers Dreams when the developer converted it over to Love Season, everything since (past few years now) has gone down hill.

Presently, I do not think the game is worth playing outside of the first season, and only then if you dont mind an incomplete story. I do not see how this story arc will ever be finished given how long its been in development when it only finished the exposition in the last couple updates.

The amount of new content, after what was pulled over from FD, is fairly minimal considering its been several years. More unfortunate than the slowed development pace is that the quality has gone down substantially.

The earlier episodes were fairly polished, a few spelling errors here and there but nothing major. Now it is not only spelling errors, but the models are noticeably inconsistent (especially the Amanda character).

The writing quality has also gone down, and character development has been abandoned. Evelyn for instance in episodes 1-6 is written as a completely different character in the later episodes.

There are also too many new characters being introduced needlessly (i.e. Amanda character) at this point in development. If the overall story and main LI paths are not progressing, why are more and more new characters (not pertinent to the story) being added?

5 outta 5.

Great renders, good story, and really hot models. I'm glad more devs are switching to RPGM to Renpy. Now if we can just get others to stop using sandboxes.

Also Nova. How do you make the hottest female in the game the "sister"? I mean shes almost perfect. Just want the hero MC to disappear with her and have their happily ever after.

The models are decent but that's about it for this game. It has the "animation" tag but there's maybe about a total of less than 20 seconds of animation int his game and not really good either.

Later updates switched to what seems likeAI generated models instead which in this case is a downgrade void of any soul or personality and dick turning the wrong way and such.

Overall quite buttom of the barrel game with severe lack of animation or anything unique that just seems to go downhil from here.

There's no "game", there's barely a story. It's crudely stitched-together scenes that introduce women, who invariably end up in non-sensical porn scenes with the MC.

Additionally, the latest chapter(s) are done with AI, which is VERY obvious and unattractive in the way only AI can make a human being.

I am sorry, but this is trash.

I like the change from RPGM to Renpy, but sometimes I feel like there are some slides missing, apart from that, nice game and characters! Have to say that Nova is my favourite. I'll give it the five stars. Hope to see more soon

this game quite literally lost it's plot.
Let's start from the beginning, renders are great,the atmosphere is right for a fantasy village setting ad the girls are amazing,I like most of the sexual content and at least some of the girls are prety interesting characters,especially Nova.
The plot stopped advancing tho. Right after we find out our mc is this great hero, nothing really happens after that. There is only one enemy known to us and their kind is pretty common,so it seems underwhelming for our great mc who talks to demons and angels to only deal with them. Maybe this will be improved upon,but I'm not holding my breath,unless there is a sequel planned. Another major downside is that our mc was a loser in the beginning,which is very common but not that criminal,yet the problem is that he doesn't evolve in any way. Even after getting this great power he still thinks and acts like a loser and a simp,offering to gather wood for 2 spoiled blonde brats who are rude to him and it's very annoying for me.
Still, I like the game and always look forward to the next installment and I know I probably won't see some of these girls in other games cause some of them are pretty unique.I would say it's 3,5 stars for me,but I'm gonna give it 4 stars in good faith and correct the rating if anything changes. I recommend trying it out,at worst you'll get great renders and models and see if they are worth your time. No the best and far from the worst on this site.
edit: Introducing AI art is the worst thing they could've done. The strongest point of this game are the girls, one of the best models around imo. So ruining them with AI is quite literally the worst mistake ever. Hopefully it was only a test and met with a backlash they will stop using it, There is also not much of a story tbh. Maybe there was some promise of a story somewhere in the start but now it's quite clear it's only there to justify going to certain places and having sex. Which is not the end of the world, it's ok to have just mindless fun, but they just ruined said fun with AI. Also there are too many side girls in it, the game has some of the unique models that you can't find anywhere else. An update with no Nova scene is criminal. Honestly I was considering changing my rating to 2 stars but I have some hope they'll drop the AI.
edit: they didn't drop the AI. 2 stars. shame.

Play this for the visuals. The renders are fantastic and breathtaking.

The plot is a different story. It had potential in the first few chapters and the writing was actually good. For some reason it took a nosedive later on and the dev started chucking in as many sex scenes as he could with any girl for any conceivable reason. MC was pathetic in the beginning, showed some potential to change, but eventually remains a pathetic simp.

Honestly very disappointed because I really enjoyed the game initially.

Some of the best content in terms of visuals and the way the story progresses. Really like how the relationships develop and the characterization in this game while still be full of adult game hijinks. The scenes with love interests are plentiful and the quality is as good as it gets. Nova and Mia are top tier characters.

I'm really interested to see where the story goes as of chapter 9. I expected MC to go on more adventures with his friends by now instead of keeping to his small town due to the way his character develops, but I'm assuming there's a lot more to come.

This game has so much potential.
But it is all ruined by the mc being a pathetic idiotic pussy.
He has zero standards, make completely illogical choices and I can't stress this enough: is a fucking pussy.
The overarching story is interesting and most of the girls are likeable.
But that is all ruined by the lack of choices an terrible mc.

My thoughts on Love Season Farmer's Dreams v1.31

The story is quite common, a nobody who gets to fuck gorgeous women and gain some sort of super powers, but it is still well written and the characters are well made to compliment the story so I still found myself hooked. The great renders and animations accompanied by good soundtrack also made the game worthwhile. I love Nova the most out of all the women. There are also lots of contents for each chapter and the sex scenes are hot. The dirty talk is great, however, there are parts were the MC is almost out of character, there is a thin line between being confident and assertive and being a douchebag, and he is leaning towards the later on some of the sex scenes in the last few sex scenes. All in all, it is still love this great game and I can't wait for the continuation of the story.

Well.. it's not masterpiece, but I had really fun time playing, and I guess that's most important. Nothing to particularly pick on, and visuals quality go up with later chapters. I'll happily play again when new conternt will be added.

This game is really odd.
the story is tedious, the characters and MC are not really likable.
Sex scenes are boring like filling my tax return.

I do not think it can be classified like adult game really.. it does not touch anything of the ADULT world.

a pre-teen fantasy game probably

Boring.
MC is a total wimp. Everyone is making fun of him, yet all the women seem to wanna drop on their knees and guzzle his man juice.
This brings me to the next point. Choices have absolutely no meaning. I've done all I can to ignore and/or be "rude" to most of the hoes yet they are still in love with MC and I am forced to fuck them.
Most of the LIs are as interesting as watching paint dry.

The renders are weird. The backgrounds are fantastic. Props on that. Characters however seem to be blurred slightly. As if the portion of the screen where they are is smeared in butter. Otherwise, the girls do look excellent.

I love this game and with version 1.2 renders have improved and now there's some animation as well to go with the music and the sound effects. I tried playing Farmer's Dream but don't like RPGM games so I didn't play it further. I love some VN action in Ren'Py to last me days. I love all the gorgeous girls and enjoyed the story so far as well, I can't wait for the upcoming chapters. And I agree that this game should be more known and it deserves more players and more reviews than the paltry number it has right now but hopefully, more people will discover and love this VN based on an RPGM game.

Don't really understand why people are so amazed by this game.

Personally think the renders are several steps down in comparison to
the ones MuseX has made for dh and their own game Farmer's Dreams (rpgm version).

All the girls that exist in the original farmer's dreams somehow looks less amazing here. Like the fantastical beauty factor has been toned down a little. Eyebrows look weird, smiles look sharp and harsh. The same scenes that exist in both games are just not as well done here.

The story / writing in both games aren't particularly great. Most of the beginning of the game the mc is kind of a loser, and no choices available to you lets you escape humiliation. However, in the original game the atmosphere is done so well as you explore the world around you. And in general the world-building is quite well done, and content feels earned.

Here anytime you would f.ex go actually collect the chickens and explore the town, you instead just get flavor text like "You saw one chicken next to the lake and went to collect it..". It's just a lesser version of what they already made.

In this kinematic visual novel version of the game, all of the focus becomes on the art and the writing. The writing has never been top-tier and somehow the art is worse in this version, meaning it does anything but highlight how skilled I know this developer really is.

I could understand making this visual novel style version of the game, if it offered you a slightly more branching narrative than the original with meaningful choices, the art was as gorgeous as the original, and there was a bigger focus on character development. It could be a good way to offer much of what the original did, without the gameplay for those who don't enjoy the originals gameplay.

However, if anything the characters feel less developed, and the art feels downgraded. So, to me it doesn't feel like an alternative way to get the same beautiful art and story, but an alternative way to get a product of less quality.

Personally I love the original, and I really enjoy the gameplay that the original has. I think more adult games should be trying to be real games with porn, as to me that is the ultimate form of the media. However, the original is really buggy, and it's development has been really slow (probably partly because of the bugs). And it struggles with unclear instructions on how to progress the game.

Despite all of those issues I still think it's a much more inspired product than this. I can however see that some people would want to be able to skip the farming,, fishing and the rest of the gameplay. I feel sorry for those people that what they have been given is a lesser version of the game, and not just the same quality without the gameplay.

I hope MuseX decides to focus even more on making the original bugfree and complete. As I think that would be a truly unique quality game in the adult space. However, if they want to do stuff in this style, I hope they decide to work on their writing and add some more meaningful choices. + bring back the render quality they have in all other games I've seen them do the art for.

This should be waaay more popular than it is.
The art is absolutely stunning. 5/5
Good world building 4/5
Great music and sounds along with a interesting story (well'see where it goes). 4.5/5
There is no grind needed and there is a walkthrough mod available.

Love this game even if, imho, it's a kinetic novel. Only thing, so far, one chooses is if the MC has sex with side girls. Everything else you're in for the ride. It's lazy.
There are some dumb stuff which wasn't necessary imo but well it's to be expected. Can't ask much since it's a harem game.
So yeah, it's been a good experience to play this one SO FAR. Imo the good art makes for it but I can't give it 5* unfortunately.

Thank you and the best of luck.

Version 1.2

Hmm this is kinda different from other adult games on f95zone although at its core it's a harem VN. The game blends the fantastical elements and lewdness perfectly. And it seems like season 2 is gonna have some mystery and depth. As far as season 1 goes, it's a absolutely pleasurable experience. The game has a lot of dialogues like a lot before you get to have some action but it's worth it as the story and characters are quite entertaining. The only department it lacked on for me was the sex scenes despite the visuals and character models being really gorgeous. But it's more story and character driven game anyway I guess. I look forward to season 2.

thank you for upload this awesome game,excellent character design,great rendering,good story,the sense are very hot,UI style is kind of my favorite too,Nova are gorgeous,Mila are very lovely,waiting for update

A captivating coming of age story with fantastical elements. What makes this game stand out is the characters and their dynamics. They blend in well with each other and creates a living, breathing atmosphere. The pacing of the game is well adjusted and leaves enough room for character growth and exploration of sex without feeling hamfisted or painful lack of adult material.

Eagerly looking forward to future releases.
