"Harvest Moon" is celebrating its 20th anniversary and as a treat to old and new fans alike, game publisher Natsume is hosting a drawing contest. "Harvest Moon" will also be coming to PC in November with a brand-new game.
The contest was posted on their Facebook page on Oct. 10 and will be open to applicants until Dec. 31. Those who want to participate need to send a drawing of their favorite "Harvest Moon" character alongside an animal from the game.
There will be a total of 15 winners: five for the grand prize and 10 for first place.
Participants can submit either traditional or digital art pieces. People can also submit other artsy items such as knitted plushies or embroidered blankets.
A more detailed list of requirements can be found on the Facebook page.
Meanwhile, "Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" will be the first game in the franchise to receive a PC launch and aside from that, it's getting an early release via steam on Nov. 14.
A trailer for the latest release in the "Harvest Moon" franchise is already up on Steam.
"Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" follows the same formula of the game before it. Players will be able to choose between a boy or a girl and will be able to farm, romance other townsfolk, get married, finish quests and help make the town a better place.
However, "Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" adds a small twist to the beloved farming simulator's well-known formula. This time players will be starting out after a storm has devastated the town. Players will have to help the town recover and will be able to help fix damaged structures as well.
"Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" won't be coming to the PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch until sometime in 2018. The game will be available for $29.99.
