The developer of Hokko Life, Robert Tatnell, has been answering many fan questions on discord.
The upcoming Animal Crossing inspired life sim, Hokko Life, is sounding better and better every day. After the recent announcement of the game, it has been much easier to keep a close eye on development. The developer has been quite active on Discord, answering many fans questions about his upcoming game.
One of the most recent questions answered was in regards to the change of seasons. Robert responded with,
“This is a tough question. In the current plan there are no seasons for Early Access release. This was a really hard decision to make, as they’re extremely important in games like this, but unfortunately there’s a heck of a lot of work involved in making them.
Not only is it a lot of art work to make sure the world changes accordingly, but setting up different bugs, fish, dialog, items etc too is also a big undertaking. In order to get an Early Access release out before running out of money I made the tough call to postpone seasons.”More questions answered!
In the dev diary, Robert also answers a few other questions that he has come across so far. He mentioned wanting to add museums at a later date, but that the game currently logs all your discoveries in a collection book.
Robert also mentions that while there will be stormy days, they will not prevent you from going about your day. They will however, have an effect on the world around you, i.e. interactions with the community and the appearance of certain creatures.
