High key wish that Yokie's route had more interactions with the kid/ growing machanics I also wish we could hatch the other egg we obtain and it looks more like Ban
Glitch on fall second you get stuck at the corners of the map if you go to the slime forest- (just a warning ig)
How to get married to the character In the game,i still don't know how to find the statue from the Priest quest
You should be able to craft the statue. You have to have high crafting skill and I believe the recipe is in the book Advanced Crafting that you can buy from the general store.
I want to download this ony my Android but when I want to install it, it wont let me. What should I do?
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE USUAL FLOW OF THE GAME, PLS READ THIS!
Soooo.... currently I'm still playing this game. And from my experience, the best thing is you should try making money in 2 first years before jumping into any romantic interests lol. Here me out lmao.
It's a kinda weird way to approach a romance genre game but yk irl you should have money before trying to pursue anyone lol (in my opinion). But trust me, it works in this game if you want to go for more than 1 char. So, when you're free of financial problems (go outside town in the icy forest or the volcanic area and collect as much stuff as possible and sell it, but don't sell all, you may need some for future quests) (the debt increases every month guys, and even if you marry Finn, he still collects the debt lmao trust me I tried to marry him asap to get rid of the debt but for the last time I played, it didn't work lol), SAVE YR PROGRESS then go for the chars you want lol. It won't create bugs and overwrite scenes of one character to another.
If you have questions, pls ask, I'll try my best to answer to my knowledge. If anyone can answer, pls help me answer as well ^^! Hope this helps.
Oh and for new people that dont follow the intro quest when you 1st enter the game, when you first enter the Slime forest and you choose to fight the monsters instead of escape, if the monster give you blue jellos, don't sell all of it, keep at least 15 of them to complete quest of Major.
Question for myself: Can players unlock new phrases when they bypass the Genius/Master/Casa/etc phrases by continuing learning?
By far, unfortunately, is no. I spent the whole Winter doing Volunteer work, drinking Courage coffee, watching HMovie, and also chose to have more courage at the end of Year 2 (to unlock speaking to Howl in the forest), however, my Courage stage was still at Heroic. I can't unlock the Howl scene in the forest (not his love path), so if you guys somehow have the same problems or I did something wrong, please let me know. Tysm!
Question for myself: Can player re-interview a candidate?
1000% yes. If they dont agree on your offer and leave, don't worry they'll appear again in the interview section, you just need to interview them again. Normally they're ok with 50% of their wish.
Question for myself: How to upgrade star of veggies the ranch grow? (Cabbage, tomato, etc.)
Players can upgrade employees and assign them to field farming, especially those with a Botanist title.
Ah, thank you for this. I just discovered the game and didn't know what I might do lol.
I do have a question, like is this game as chore-like as Seiyuu Danshi?
And I'm a bit confused, the official page says the game is still in development but you're talking as if the game is already finished.
Is it actually still "in development" or not?
I'm sorry but I usually don't buy games unless it's fully complete.
Hi there, happy to answer!
1. The game included farming activities and combat so yeah it can be considered as doing chores, but farming chores.
2. Maybe the term "still" makes you confused lol but I use it because it's been forever since the game launch but it's "still" in dev stage, which makes pp kinda frustrated, including me. So the game is still in beta. It only contains 4 LIs by far (at least 6 more LIs to develop lmao). Sorry if it sounds confusing, but I'm just sharing stuff from my playing experience with this beta version, hope it does not make pp get the wrong ideas about the game being fully developed. So don't get the game now if you're interested in chars that are in 2nd row (except for the pink guy, who is not available now, and the red hair, who is now available lmao I don't get why they put the pink guy in 1st row when he is not available and the one who actually available be put in the 2nd row lol).
game doesnt show me yolkie's marriage option anymore...i skipped it for one day and even after 2 months i cant trigger it.
I play Finn's route but also cannot trigger the Kitchen scene. Kinda sucks TvT. Hope the dev team will fix these bugs soon.
Dude i dont want to restart... 💀 Maxing all of that stats took too long
I feel chu bro I came for Moocha but forced to stay to combat lol
How do I get the dyes to make the Rubik's cube and how can I do the second part of the detective mission at the love hotel?
you need to have the Banana Town Helpful Citizen Badge by completing the Intro Quest by Major (I don't remember if this is the right quest to get the badge lol but give it a shot lol) then you will receive the quest by the Twins in the clothing store to get 10 5-star wools, done that then y'll get the dyeing book to get the recipes for dyeing. And the 2nd part I think you need to find the Pink rabbit to talk to in the afternoon timegame to get him do the cosplay for the police rabbit. Hope this helps.
anyone else have a character disappear and then have to force close the game and app just to regain control?
Is it only me or I can't access cotton in the extras section
In fall, year 3, the poster board in the town square is not loading on one side and calendar is not updating with new events (concert). One of the date spots won't load as an option (hot springs).
still loosing my character in the adventure scenes, only this time it is stuck like this and i have to force close the game and loose all of my progress.
I've played Finn's route and got every Scene except 'Kitchen Fun" under marriage events. Anyone know how to trigger that scene?
same here I'm trying to trigger it with no luck so far
so... anyone figure out where to find black grass or black leaves?
Only source I have found is to befriend Skippy from the Dark Forest. That is an item he randomly gives. I've received enough items from him for 5 black dye so far. Had him on the ranch for about a month. It is rare, but the only way I've found.
Tysm for your in4. Bless youuu
How can we restore employee durability？Is there anyone kind-hearted who can explain it to me
You need to assign them to the restroom at the ranch and they will recover a bit each day.
thank you
how do you get the recipe for red wine and milk coffee? and how do you get rice?
How do you get married? I've bought both the bed and the rings, what else do I have to do in order to trigger it?
The priest gives you a quest to donate to the church that allows for marriage ceremony. From memory completing other requests opens up that one.
How?I'm stuck to find the statue for the quest T_T
When clicking on the question marks to collect items, sometime my character disappears. it takes a long time before he reappears and i can continue the scene.
On Cotton's route it doesn't progress to being able to buy the ring and propose. When spending time together it just keeps saying we are getting closer. Last event was the drunk scene
Is it just me or can no one else get Yolkie's second kid, I get the trial but after that nothing else happens.
I thought you can only have one baby with each character?
It happened to me as well only can see the first one one doesn't look like it has been fixed?
Is anyone else having severe crashing issues with the Android version? Haven't made it past Year 1 Day 5....
there a lot of bug and some of it make me can’t even progress in game (I play in cotton route)
1. cotton birthday not show up in calendar
2. cotton don’t join party when go outside
3. A lot of bug on cotton foreplay scene even crash sometime
4. Can’t progress story after Cotton's victory celebration
5. In year 2 game crash on flower dance. Game can’t continue playing after that.
I am playing Banana Ranch Windows Version 2.5 GB
Version 4 is this the most recent. When doing the monster the menu button is gone. Also, after clicking on a monster, then running away a new one doesn't spawn. I was also wondering if there would be a way to delete old saves like you had in Seiyuu Danshi.
Can someone please tell me where do i get all the receipt i seem to have some space in my book shelf
since the update vesion 2 snowy mountain crashes game every time after a few steps, also there don't seem to be monsters in any other biome but the 1st one with blue slimes
I love this game so much especially when Cotton's route is going to release and the update is really cute! But since it's the first time I bought a game in beta version I'm still not very familiar to the way getting update. Does the update influence current saves? Do you need to start a new save after updating the game or current saves works just fine?
I'm mostly interested in Cotton, so when is his route gonna be fully released? As soon as it is, I'm happy
this game has been out for so many years, and only 3 routes so far..
I mean to be fair based on the size of the team along with how busy their day to day lives are, it will take a while to implement everything since it is a lot of characters after all.
10 years maybe, this is insane
Its about 1 route per year so far so mabye, even so, Its better to get a fully fleshed out game than something thats rushed. So we should just be patient.
Lol, let's be real. I will never pay for a game that took more than 10 years to make and this game is just a VN not even a complicated game. As far as i can see they just fishing for more supporter to get money while dragging the game update. The same case with yandere simulator. I suggest you look at that game case than come back here and talk to me
Then you can simply not support the game and make your own since its so "simple", instead of whining over people trying their best. The yandere dev comment being unrelated to the situation, if you actually did a deep dive into the history of that. So instead of getting on a high horse trying to lecture people about how youre just a sad impatient disappointment who revolves their whole life over waiting on a literal dating sim, then be be my guest. Is that real enough? lol
Is there a form or something for us to report bugs.
I am currently on Yolkie's route and my second child is not appearing even though it has been more than a week since the second love trial cutscene
When is this game releasing? I even forgot I purchased it..
can anyone please tell me where i can find a soft feather? and where can i find the ponpon merchandise for the god of love i have looked everywhere but i cant seem to find them?
Soft feather can be found at the snowy mountain by collecting stuff
As for the ponpon merch, if I remember correctly you need to help out the cafe owner and the general store owner and they will give it to you afterwards
i think i bought this on 2019...
Yep... is anything happening here? Anyone home?
so guess the game is not finished yet?
I'd love to preorder, though I wish I had more faith this game is ever going to be complete. 8 months for half a route is a long time.
we are now at least 2 years into development and we still only have like what? 3 interests?
they're also planing on doing more games on the side. it's a bit annoying.
Way more than two years... I paid $60 four years ago. I loved their Seiyuu Danshi game so much that at the time, funding this was a no-brainer, but I think they're in over their heads.
if i pay more if i originally paid for the release will i get access to beta if i add onto the price?
where can i find the angel statue for the priest
Is the main character always the one who is dominant (the one who fucks) (top?) I like my main characters to be submissive more so thats why I ask
With kind regards,
Cheeks ;)
Dont know if you already know this but no, both the MC and love interest can top and bot. So don't you worry:)
I kinda confused since Ban can handle alcohol well in Finn route, but he drunk with just a sip in Moocha route?
*whisper* And shouldn't Finn stop collect the farm debt once he married Ban though? Hmph!
