So, we recently re-vamped the bachelor/ettes sections in a few of our guides that were missing the pictures and didnt match the layout of our other guides. If you are interested in checking these out, the guides we worked on were for Animal Parade, Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute and Rune Factory. The marriage candidate sections are now easy to navigate and easier to read then before!

We recently added a detailed Map and Info section for Tale of Two Towns along with a section about the expansions! The map section has detailed maps of every area of the Two Towns world. Each main point of interest in each area is labeled and then below the picture is a detailed description of what the number has labeled on the map! To check them out, Click here for the Maps section! or Click here for the Expansions section!

We also have a new upload from Hylianknightmare. This contains a save file from Animal Parade, and the link to the upload is in his Glitch Guide in the Animal Parade Section. There is a link to the guide below

Hello all, its that time again for the news update and poll results.

1st off I do apologize for not having this done sooner but I just spent the last hour and 45 minutes deleting 125 spam posts in the comments of every news item on all 25 pages. Just wanted to let our members know if you see any spam posts such as the ones that were posted today in the comments to let either Anthony or myself know about them. There have also been times in the past where we got spam posts in the forums as well. Easiest way to identify a spam post is if they are advertising a product of some sort with random links in what they are saying, along with multple posts repeating the same thing, and so on and so forth. So we ask anybody who sees these to please click the report button on the post to notify us. It will be greatly appreciated.

2nd order of business, The poll results for the last month. Pretty standard but alwaays a popular poll to have. So the question was "Who are you going to marry on HM: Two Towns?"

We will tally up the winners in 3 categories, Bachelorettes, Bachelors and then over all.

The next poll should be interesting. Ever wish you could be your own character on a Harvest Moon game? Ever think of what you would like to do for work if you could? Well thats the topic of this months poll. The question would be: "If you could be a character on a HM game, what would you do?" So be sure to vote, voting will run until November 25th!

Lastly, we have a new banner up featuring the bachelors on Two Towns, hope you like it! And the next section that Im working on for the Two Towns guide that will be up soon is comeplete maps of the entire game world, with info on each place. So keep an eye out for the announcment for its upload!
