Yes, it’s true! It is coming! However, it’s third on the lineup of systems it’s releasing on, with PC and mobile coming before it. That being said, I’m very happy it’s coming on switch, regardless of how far its release is. :)
It's way too sickly sweet to remind me of either. The thing that makes those franchises special to me is that they balance it all out with a little bit of darkness. This game... they aren't doing that. The world feels like it has as much depth as their plushie storefront page.
this looks real promising. as much as it sucks to wait that long, hopefully it’s a sign of the amount of effort they’re going to be putting into it. i’d rather wait if that means it will be released polished. i have faith
Not only that, but with the amount of content that they've unlocked it just wouldn't be possible for them to release the game any earlier! Unless they went into Early Access on Steam super early ^^ I'm positive that they'll do their very best to make their vision come true, but it's bound to take a lot of time - probably more than anticipated after such a successful campaign!
this looks so damn cosy and comforting 😭 the perfect game for adults who like cute, aesthetically pleasing, stressfree games and need to relax after a long day
I recommend u play Stardew valley then. I used to absolutely LOVE harvest moon and Stardew valley is just like it but a thousand times more complex and never ever gets boring
the kickstarter has gone incredibly well! we reached all the goals including the extra goals! it'll be available for pc, mobile, and switch (because they reached the switch goal)
I've seen a bunch of ads and I'm so exited for this! It looks like a perfect child of Stardew and Animal crossing!! It also looks like its right out of a Ghibli seen...
It’s amazing and insane that this kickstarter made 2.5 million in the end and unlocked so freaking many stretch goals. I can’t wait. I need this game so bad, I definitely backed the kickstarter
for a company that isn't actually a gaming company but a plushie company, I applaud this! They really thought things through. The town looks amazing, I wanna just run around in it and the townfolks are just just adorable! I do hope that you could be friends with them and have different conversations with them as your bond gets stronger
I'm only 10 minutes in and already tearing up because this is everything I've ever wanted as a game, an adorable Animal Crossing x Harvest Moon mix - it's SO beautiful.
I'll continue to update this post if new information becomes available, starting with: - I only found it AFTER making this video, but they do actually have a Discord server! Here it is: discord.gg/fluffnest - MULTIPLAYER IS CONFIRMED!!! In the few days it took to make this video, the $1M mark has been passed, meaning multiplayer is coming to PuffPals: Island Skies!!! - I forgot to mention it in the video but time will not pass in real-time like in Animal Crossing. Day length is still being tweaked, but it will be closer to that of Stardew Valley, for example. - An arctic biome has been unlocked after reaching $1.1M!!! - We'll be able to own our own shop! - Another new biome will be added, based on community input. The votes are final and the biome to be added is: "Eternal Night Celestial" - The final biome to be unlocked was an AMUSEMENT PARK, full of games and activities specifically designed with multiplayer in mind. THE FINAL AMOUNT RAISED VIA KICKSTARTER WAS........$2,564,821 USD!!! They should turn this cash cow into a plushie, if you ask me! :D What do you guys think of this game though!? Aside from the pain of having to wait for its release, of course - we all feel that :)
I’m always shocked that people forget about Harvest Moon, as it predates stardew and animal crossing new horizons by decades. But this game gives me the same farming and explorative comfort that Harvest moon games have always given me! To me, most of the inspiration from this game isn’t from new animal crossing or stardew, but the original animal crossing and older harvest moon games💕 idk where we’ll all be in 2025, but I hope I remember this game by then
Harvest moon went downhill waaaay back, that's why Concerned Ape came up/created "Stardew Valley" because there isn't a good harvest moon games since, I believe, "Back To Nature" from PS1. I'm with Concerned Ape, I love Harvest Moon, but let's admit that Natsume couldnt create a good one since then.
@@MrAaron-br8un you haven't played harvest moon tree of tranquilty or animal parade then! they are the best harvest moon titles honestly. give them a try!
@@Amelia1702x They will release a remake of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life this year - they just had to change the name due to legal rights (it is now Story of Seasons - but that is the Harvest Moon-Team! The games with the name Harvest Moon is NOT the original team!)

I keep coming back to this video to remind myself of how adorable this game is. I desperately want to play it and I hope the devs can deliver with wholesome, satisfying and relaxing gameplay and hopefully fun lore
I squeed the whole way through this video! This might be the first Kickstarter i put money into. And the plushies, oh the plushies, especially the little shroom guy, Gus. He's too precious. It kind of reminds me of Garden Paws, but so much more. I need this cuteness in my life. Thank you for bestowing such adorableness upon my soul
Haha, you are so welcome! I definitely get Garden Paws vibes as well. My temptation is those dragon plushies... but Gus GLOWS IN THE DARK, so that's awesome too!!! Lol
@@DoctorDDub I Never thought any other game could beat Animal Crossing in terms of Cozinesses. But this one. The whole atmosphere and overall design feels superior! Can’t wait for its release. 😊
This game have EVERYTHING I want! Cooking, (very important imo), decorating, building FREELY, exploring, farming, and ARCADES. I’m gonna wait patiently on this game, and hell is it gonna be worth it!
Game hasn't even come out and I'm already in love with it. Buttons looking like he was waving made me cry because hes so darn cute. This game has everything I love. Collection, cuteness, puns.. and sooo much more. I can't wait. I wish I had money to give. The outfits, the houses and the plushies all look so great too! ;-;
For a game that’s coming out in 2025, this game looks AMAZING! I know Animal Crossing is in the same genre, but I’ve never played it and for some reason this game looks so appealing to me! I think I’d play this game over animal crossing!
Animal Crossing is a top tier game though, it's a bit silly to throw out such an amazing experience opportunity just because you like the look of this awesome & adorable game, play both if you have the change to and I promise you won't regret it! :)
I personally grew tired of ACNH rather quickly. I loved animal crossing games as a kid, but as an adult, they just don't hold my interest like they used to. I'm looking forward to something new, even if we have to wait for it!
I remember being a backer for Fluffnest when they began to start out as a plush company. I’m so happy to see how they’re expanding their brand and giving life to these already lovable characters!
with how good the game looks i dont want the team to fast things up (even though i want it right now), most of the time when companies fast their release the games always flop so i will wait however many years so the game would be flawless
im so hyped that you covered this!!! i was already a fan of their plushies before they announced the game (i have Vinnie the Sweetheart Bat and they’re great quality btw) im really excited to see how this game changes in the next few years and im so happy that other people are discovering something i love 💕
You're going to make me get a plushie...aren't you? Lol. And I'm glad you're excited, Catherine! Clearly a ton of other people are too, which is even more exciting!
@@plushbats my sister has vickie!!! all of their plushies are adorable but i especially like their seasonal ones (valentines, sakura, halloween) ive followed this game since it was announced in January and my excitement has only gone up since!!!
I understand being enthusiastic but it unsettles me that people take promotional material for a kickstarter as 100% guaranteed features Maybe that's because as an EA player i'm used to forgotten promises and never-to-be-fixed buggy nightmares But I still think people should be careful not overhyping a project at early stages
Same, this is super cute but I'm very wary of how much they will deliver. Hopefully they continue to keep their backers up to date with their development progress.
I have faith tbh, this kinda reminds me of Omori’s kickstarter. Omori’s kickstarter also started with a bunch of hype and received tons of donations, but due to the long wait they started to get accused of lying. But everything turned out awesome and the game is great :) but i do agree with your your point, but still i have a lot of faith in this game lol.
The fact that this game already looks so complete brings hapiness to me, cant imagine what the 2025 version of it will look like! Its a long wait, but i hope that it will be worth every milisecond!
Yesss! I honestly am glad they are taking their time in order to give us the best game possible. Too many companies have rushed and it never turns out well :(
As someone who doesn't play games like this. This is honestly one of the best looking games. I absolutely love the art style and attention to detail. I will probably give this genre a try just because of this game
@@DoctorDDub quite honestly I play more combat focused games. As the years go by I have been opening up to genres and artstyles I would have never touched in the past
I’ve been following both Lily and fluffnest so when they announced a game I knew I’d sell my soul to play this. Also couldn’t be more ecstatic that it hit both switch port and multiplayer. Let’s not forget the awesome KSE Plushies ✨their plushies are nice as well (coming from someone who owns all the sheep and bean XD)
I grew up with Animal Crossing, so this game is AMAZING! It's so aesthetically pleasing, adorable, cute, breathtaking, and I CAN GO ON ALL DAY!!! But I really hope they can get maybe a bigger developing team on this game so we as players can have earlier access to the public and so they can spend time on other ideas.
I donated $20 to the kickstarter a while ago, I just REALLY hope it’s not a scam because lots of other kickstarters have been. In the kickstarter they’re charging $50 for house exteriors so I’m wondering if even after you buy the game when it comes out if the stuff you want to unlock will cost money??? If that’s the case I don’t really support that. Stardew Valley is a great game with TONS of content and only costs a one time payment of $15, there are also free mods & free texture packs if you want to amplify your game play. This is the first and only one I’ve ever donated money too. I’m super excited for it to be released but also scared I’m going to lose my money.
While I am sure some scummy people do in fact make scams on Kickstarter, this does not seem like one. While I do agree their asking prices for the exclusive content seems a bit high, they are at least being very transparent about where the money is going.
@@rokelle_2012 Eh, I’m just excited to see this coming to Switch! I will most definitely buy it! Since I love these types of game. I love relaxing games that I don’t have to think.
Considering the amount of effort that goes into making a game, I’m happy to pay for expansions in games like these. I get why people may be upset with certain gacha systems as it gets people addicted and doesn’t even guarantee that they’ll get anything worth what they paid, but I don’t really see the harm in having one time payments for items in-game.
@@m.i7211 I’m a Free to Player. So you are just singing for Whales that aren’t patient in those types of games. I love gatcha games. I’ve played so many of them, I play for fun and free. Its funny how people get so upset over a gatcha game. I find it funny guess cause I play free. puffPals isn’t going to be a gatcha game. Lol 😂
"Dear I'm afraid I don't have much left to live, so I'm leaving you my set of floating islands, please take good care of them. Signed, your grandfather" Jokes aside, I was cautious because it's a Kickstarter game, but then you brought me with the Moth House, and then you lost me with the "you gotta pay 50 dollars for the Moth House"... So yeah, it's a cute game, and I'll watch any updates you have on it. . . But losing the Moth House is a huge blow in my book.
Hahaha, please no, grandpa...but yeah, $50 is STEEP for any KS exclusive item. There's thousands of people that disagree though, or are caught up in the hype, however, so more power to them. The game will still be just as great in a normal, non-moth, non-pumpkin house though!
@@DoctorDDub It's not even the price itself, of course, it *is* expensive, as far as I'm concerned (specially with exchange rates), but I'm the type of person that if I like something enough, I won't have much problem in pumping money into the thing, so if the game was already out, and I had played it a little to see how much I like it, and the Moth House was available as DLC (much like other games and their clothes DLCs), I would probably hesitate, but I would still buy it. However, we all have seen our fair share of Kickstarter projects that went nowhere even with their goal met, or that weren't able to deliver on everything they promised, as such, being the pessimist I'm, I'm not willing to pay that much for an exclusive item that have no certainty of ever being reality. Tl;dr: If the Moth House is still available for purchase post-launch, then I'll probably buy it. That's it, sorry for the little rant.
This is so cute and perfect-looking I actually feel a smidge of anxiety and sadness... like my brain just can't handle the fact such wholesomeness exists!
Why? There's many other similar cute wholesome games like this one. Like Mario, Kirby, and Animal Crossing. Check out Madmorph who likes to play a lot of this genre. Gab Smolders too. But she likes to play some horror games too. Look up chibi.
This sounds like a game-dream come true. I was dreading that it didn't have cooking but as soon as you mentioned it, I was immediately sold. Everything about this game looks perfect.
I got a Buster the Lavender Cow from them not that long ago (highly recommend, extremely fluffy and very squishable. Has helped me through numerous sad nights) and I am SO excited for this game. I don't really know how kickstarter works yet, but for this game I will look into it more so I can support it. It doesn't happen often that you can claim to have game merch before the game even exists. Seeing my favorite purple cow in the game shots makes me so happy!!
If you have questions about Kickstarter, let me know! I've backed enough games to have a pretty good idea of how it works. But that's so cool that your own plush is in game! Lol
Honestly even though it is a ways away, I’m so glad to hear that they are planning on spending a few years on really fine tuning the game! It seems very amazing and adorable but also pretty complex! I’m so stoked for this
Thank you for sharing this, it looks adorable!! This is the first game to really remind me of my favorite 2008 Facebook game, Pet Society which left me heartbroken when it was bought out and then immediately shut down by evil EA.
I have been following the development since they announced it like a year ago. I've been following that company for quite some time. I am so hyped for this. I've already backed it and can't wait
I just CAN’T believe how perfect this game is!!! It’s everything I’ve ever wished for in a game and even more. I’m soo excited for the release and I’m glad that it’ll also be available on the switch
For those who love games like this where you explore the world with amazing graphics, definitely try out Sky children of the light. It’s an amazing game where you can find many friends and customize your look as you progress in the game
This is exactly the type of cozy sim game I've been wanting to play! I will patiently wait until 2025 for this. Eerything about this looks amazing, wholesome and cute. I'm excited to see what the final finished product will bring us!
You didn’t miss anything. They are doing another backer kit for a month. Join their discord because they can answer all your questions and give you a update.
Megan out here doing the real work! :D Thanks Megan! Yep, Backerkit is a post-Kickstarter option a lot of campaigns will use as sort of an "afterparty" to the main event that was the Kickstarter campaign. Usually with the option to still pre-order, albeit without some of the Kickstarter exclusives.
Just found this video and checked out the kickstarter to find that they already exceeded 2M! Hurray! 2025 sounds so far away but I'm really looking forward to it! ✨ Thanks for sharing all the info so far on this adorable game! 😆
Nooo I'm so sad the project isn't live anymore, I so wanted those adorable moth outfits and alpha access 😭😭 Oh well, at least they reached their final goal!! It's gonna turn out amazing for sure 😍
I'm coming from the SunnySide server and watched the whole video! I learned about PuffPals just the day before yesterday and I'm so into it! It's adorable in every single way! It really reminds me of Animal Crossing and it has Fishing AND Cooking AND house customization which is a hundred plus for me! The artstyle is extremely cute and the whole atmosphere gives me the feel of living in a fairytale! I hope they surpass their and our expectations by a lot and hit success! Nice video overall! *Edit: Also, I just realised I learned SunnySide AND Palia AND Coral island from you! Omg why were I not a subscriber of yours for SO long?!! Subbed and waiting for more exciting videos!
Hahaha, happy to bring those games into your life in at least the tiniest way :D I'm happy you enjoyed the video and hopefully it won't be too long till my next one! Working a full-time job plus trying to stay sane makes my upload schedule a bit lacking.
This is like a super cute and cozy animal crossing meets harvest moon, it looks extremely promising! It kills me that the wait is this long, but hopefully the wait will be worth it. I don’t know if I’d want it on PC or Switch lol.
THANK YOU! I stumbled across this video yesterday, and was able to pledge a few hours before it ended. Being on the discord all night leading up to the end of the KS was such a rush of community - thank you so, so much for this video!
This is sooo adorable! How is the doing? It's crazy how many games try to cover the whole Harvest Moon left and so far no one was able to fill the gap!
This is a really pretty looking game. If you'd given this to me blind, I would have guessed it was a mid-size to AAA studio Switch release. They've really got a strong idea of the aesthetic and vibe they're going for. I guess the long development timeframe is because they are working with a smaller team and have to account for making lots of Kickstarter bonuses. Hoping the devs succeed!
Thats such a loving game! It cracked the 2 million milestone, that's very impressive! It would be so cool to have a little strawberry buddy. XD The flying island is a very nice concept.
I’m actually crying 😭 I need thisssss! It’s made for me LoL. I spent my whole life playing animal crossing games and my 2nd fav game is stardew valley. I love cottegecore. I’m even an aspiring plush maker. I cannot express how excited I am for this. I love the customisation, the adorable creatures, the beautiful landscapes,…everything!!
These types of games also inspire me to live a similar life in the real world. I want to try farming and gardening. I want to go out there and do stuff. It reminds me that life can be better and it doesn’t have to be so stressful ..
I am gutted to have to wait so long for this! It looks really relaxing. Cant wait for it to come out though! I will definitely be picking it up at some point!
the game looks really great but im afraid if it REALLY takes this long to finish the game ... the hype will fade. Dont get me wrong i saw that with many many small games who looked great but took ages to come out. The hype fated ... the gameplay or graphics were outdated and some of them really didnt make it in the end. I hope with more sponsors they will finish it sooner because i would love them to keep the hype until the very end!
I hope you stay tuned in for all of us alpha tester who get to start playing this next year… I definitely feel like this game will have a future.. you just need to believe in them, the alpha testers who will give feed back to Lily and her team.. to make this game great… so have faith in them and the alpha testers 🤗❤️
Haha, well it steered you right! Quick, think of another dozen video ideas but don't tell me what they are! That'll help me significantly over the next few months ;)
My god. A game company named ‘Fluff Nest’, complete with cute plushies and a wholesome game in the works? I never thought I’d be so excited!! I’ll probably save up for a plush from them!
So, I accidentally found this video while looking up a song from another cute game called Livly Island, and I am so glad I discovered this game! I am also a huge fan of Animal Crossing, so I can't wait for its release!!!
I love you Doc, you never cease to amaze me with all these incredible looking games that I wouldn't have known about until they were out. Thank you so much for everything you do!😄
@@DoctorDDub 😆 No but seriously I think I speak for everyone here and the developers of all these games when I say how much your efforts are appreciated!
I remember when I first saw an add for this on instagram. Everyone called it a rip off of animal crossing. I remember when the models looked like paper dolls, and when they first launched their kickstarter. I am so happy knowing they managed to get it out, and I feel like a proud mom. I can’t wait until it’s out to buy.
I've already commented like twice but THE HOME CUSTOMIZATION LOOKS SO GOOD OH MY GOD!!! IT'S LITERALLY THE GAME OF MY DREAMS??? 😭 I've been just thinking about how badly I want something with in-depth home customization that isn't just The Sims or Animal Crossing, the latter I can't even currently afford. And this game looks to be everything I wanted and more in that regard *alone*, but everything else seems perfect, too!
I like that they aren't of the "it will come soon" type, but really say that we have to wait for years. What i don't like are the tiers ... it just seems over the top that you only get a special house design at 50$ ... this should be to help them develop and not to get "prepurchase only" stuff
it is to help them develop, its just more of a thank you for the investment, obviously the more someone invests into the game, the bigger the 'thank you' gift they get. Because the devs appreciate that investing into a kickstarting game is a lot of money. It isn't supposed to be a case of 'oh i want that thing but it costs $50', Its not a retail shop. Its a complimentary gift to an investment.
Thank you for that response, Demon. You said it way better than I could, but I agree completely! A lot of people forget that Kickstarter isn't a store, it's an investment platform.
It's also pricey bc it's an exclusive for backers only. The only other way to get the exclusive house design is to pay for the $250 reward tier so I think it's really awesome of them to offer it as an add on for $50. As well as the other add ons that start at $10. Plus I think all the tiers are very well put together, if I had the money I would have gotten all the extra goodies! Lol So it's nice to at least be able to afford some of the add ons/exclusive extras to my alpha access pledge.

- I forgot to mention it in the video but time will not pass in real-time like in Animal Crossing. Day length is still being tweaked, but it will be closer to that of Stardew Valley, for example.
- An arctic biome has been unlocked after reaching $1.1M!!!

- Another new biome will be added, based on community input. The votes are final and the biome to be added is: "Eternal Night Celestial"
- The final biome to be unlocked was an AMUSEMENT PARK, full of games and activities specifically designed with multiplayer in mind.

Harvest moon went downhill waaaay back, that's why Concerned Ape came up/created "Stardew Valley" because there isn't a good harvest moon games since, I believe, "Back To Nature" from PS1.
I'm with Concerned Ape, I love Harvest Moon, but let's admit that Natsume couldnt create a good one since then.
@@MrAaron-br8un you haven't played harvest moon tree of tranquilty or animal parade then! they are the best harvest moon titles honestly. give them a try!
@@Amelia1702x They will release a remake of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life this year - they just had to change the name due to legal rights (it is now Story of Seasons - but that is the Harvest Moon-Team! The games with the name Harvest Moon is NOT the original team!)

I keep coming back to this video to remind myself of how adorable this game is. I desperately want to play it and I hope the devs can deliver with wholesome, satisfying and relaxing gameplay and hopefully fun lore
I hope this can be on Switch!
I can just imagine riding in the backseat of the car watching the beautiful scenery go by as I play PuffPals!
If you watch the video carefully, it will have Switch compatibility.
they reached the switch port stretch goal in days
I squeed the whole way through this video! This might be the first Kickstarter i put money into. And the plushies, oh the plushies, especially the little shroom guy, Gus. He's too precious. It kind of reminds me of Garden Paws, but so much more. I need this cuteness in my life. Thank you for bestowing such adorableness upon my soul
Haha, you are so welcome! I definitely get Garden Paws vibes as well. My temptation is those dragon plushies... but Gus GLOWS IN THE DARK, so that's awesome too!!! Lol
He lights up too! Like the moon moth
This is like Animal Crossing… But it feels cozier! Oh man, do I love the art/animation style! 🥰
Were the words "cozier than Animal Crossing" something you ever thought you'd say?
@@DoctorDDub I Never thought any other game could beat Animal Crossing in terms of Cozinesses. But this one. The whole atmosphere and overall design feels superior! Can’t wait for its release. 😊
5:16. ⬅️
it feels way more alive already
This game have EVERYTHING I want! Cooking, (very important imo), decorating, building FREELY, exploring, farming, and ARCADES. I’m gonna wait patiently on this game, and hell is it gonna be worth it!
Game hasn't even come out and I'm already in love with it. Buttons looking like he was waving made me cry because hes so darn cute. This game has everything I love. Collection, cuteness, puns.. and sooo much more. I can't wait. I wish I had money to give. The outfits, the houses and the plushies all look so great too! ;-;
For a game that’s coming out in 2025, this game looks AMAZING! I know Animal Crossing is in the same genre, but I’ve never played it and for some reason this game looks so appealing to me! I think I’d play this game over animal crossing!
I would too ;)
Animal Crossing is a top tier game though, it's a bit silly to throw out such an amazing experience opportunity just because you like the look of this awesome & adorable game, play both if you have the change to and I promise you won't regret it! :)
2025 ....?
I personally grew tired of ACNH rather quickly. I loved animal crossing games as a kid, but as an adult, they just don't hold my interest like they used to. I'm looking forward to something new, even if we have to wait for it!
Indie game list for follow me 😄
48 hours left of the kickstarter and they're at $1.9 million!
Now at 2.6 mill!!
Indie game list for follow me 😄
MONKEY BRAIN OVERLOADED WITH CUTE!!!
The customization of the house is TOTALLY what I need in my farm/cozy Sim.
Cozy sim. I like that ;)
I remember being a backer for Fluffnest when they began to start out as a plush company. I’m so happy to see how they’re expanding their brand and giving life to these already lovable characters!
with how good the game looks i dont want the team to fast things up (even though i want it right now), most of the time when companies fast their release the games always flop so i will wait however many years so the game would be flawless
this looks so exciting!! i genuinely dont want them to rush with this, the character design and graphics are so cute!!!
I'd rather have delays than a crappy game - I think we all would!
@@DoctorDDub Yea as an anime fan, I know all too well the pressure creators get to rush and how projects suffer as a result of it.
im so hyped that you covered this!!! i was already a fan of their plushies before they announced the game (i have Vinnie the Sweetheart Bat and they’re great quality btw) im really excited to see how this game changes in the next few years and im so happy that other people are discovering something i love 💕
You're going to make me get a plushie...aren't you? Lol. And I'm glad you're excited, Catherine! Clearly a ton of other people are too, which is even more exciting!
i have vinnie and vickie and they’re so precious :-( i’m so excited for this game it’s actually unreal
@@plushbats my sister has vickie!!! all of their plushies are adorable but i especially like their seasonal ones (valentines, sakura, halloween) ive followed this game since it was announced in January and my excitement has only gone up since!!!
I understand being enthusiastic but it unsettles me that people take promotional material for a kickstarter as 100% guaranteed features
Maybe that's because as an EA player i'm used to forgotten promises and never-to-be-fixed buggy nightmares
But I still think people should be careful not overhyping a project at early stages
Same, this is super cute but I'm very wary of how much they will deliver. Hopefully they continue to keep their backers up to date with their development progress.
I have faith tbh, this kinda reminds me of Omori’s kickstarter. Omori’s kickstarter also started with a bunch of hype and received tons of donations, but due to the long wait they started to get accused of lying. But everything turned out awesome and the game is great :) but i do agree with your your point, but still i have a lot of faith in this game lol.
The fact that this game already looks so complete brings hapiness to me, cant imagine what the 2025 version of it will look like! Its a long wait, but i hope that it will be worth every milisecond!
Yesss! I honestly am glad they are taking their time in order to give us the best game possible. Too many companies have rushed and it never turns out well :(
it's definitely a long wait, but it'll be worth it i'm sure! i just hope i remember by then to buy it lol
As someone who doesn't play games like this. This is honestly one of the best looking games. I absolutely love the art style and attention to detail. I will probably give this genre a try just because of this game
Is there any reason you've stayed away from games like this in the past?
@@DoctorDDub quite honestly I play more combat focused games. As the years go by I have been opening up to genres and artstyles I would have never touched in the past
I’ve been following both Lily and fluffnest so when they announced a game I knew I’d sell my soul to play this. Also couldn’t be more ecstatic that it hit both switch port and multiplayer. Let’s not forget the awesome KSE Plushies ✨their plushies are nice as well (coming from someone who owns all the sheep and bean XD)
Haha, how long have you had your plushies? They holding up well? I'm really considering picking one up...
@@DoctorDDub sorry for not seeing this XD they hold up very well I’ve had them for around a a year and a half now! No problems at all for me~
I grew up with Animal Crossing, so this game is AMAZING! It's so aesthetically pleasing, adorable, cute, breathtaking, and I CAN GO ON ALL DAY!!! But I really hope they can get maybe a bigger developing team on this game so we as players can have earlier access to the public and so they can spend time on other ideas.
I donated $20 to the kickstarter a while ago, I just REALLY hope it’s not a scam because lots of other kickstarters have been. In the kickstarter they’re charging $50 for house exteriors so I’m wondering if even after you buy the game when it comes out if the stuff you want to unlock will cost money??? If that’s the case I don’t really support that. Stardew Valley is a great game with TONS of content and only costs a one time payment of $15, there are also free mods & free texture packs if you want to amplify your game play. This is the first and only one I’ve ever donated money too. I’m super excited for it to be released but also scared I’m going to lose my money.
Ummm Switch will have it probably $30
While I am sure some scummy people do in fact make scams on Kickstarter, this does not seem like one. While I do agree their asking prices for the exclusive content seems a bit high, they are at least being very transparent about where the money is going.
@@rokelle_2012
Eh, I’m just excited to see this coming to Switch! I will most definitely buy it! Since I love these types of game. I love relaxing games that I don’t have to think.
Considering the amount of effort that goes into making a game, I’m happy to pay for expansions in games like these.
I get why people may be upset with certain gacha systems as it gets people addicted and doesn’t even guarantee that they’ll get anything worth what they paid, but I don’t really see the harm in having one time payments for items in-game.
@@m.i7211 I’m a Free to Player. So you are just singing for Whales that aren’t patient in those types of games. I love gatcha games. I’ve played so many of them, I play for fun and free. Its funny how people get so upset over a gatcha game. I find it funny guess cause I play free. puffPals isn’t going to be a gatcha game. Lol 😂
when i tell i have an unhealthy obsession with mushrooms and forests and frogs I AM IN LOVE and i NEED THIS it’s such a beautiful game
Finally... someone is making the adorable SIMS-Pokemon-Harvest Moon we've all been waiting for.
Those stuffies they make have me dead... so cute...
The longer the video went on, the more excited I got!!
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dolly! I had a good time putting this one together!
"Dear
I'm afraid I don't have much left to live, so I'm leaving you my set of floating islands, please take good care of them.
Signed, your grandfather"
Jokes aside, I was cautious because it's a Kickstarter game, but then you brought me with the Moth House, and then you lost me with the "you gotta pay 50 dollars for the Moth House"... So yeah, it's a cute game, and I'll watch any updates you have on it. . . But losing the Moth House is a huge blow in my book.
Hahaha, please no, grandpa...but yeah, $50 is STEEP for any KS exclusive item. There's thousands of people that disagree though, or are caught up in the hype, however, so more power to them. The game will still be just as great in a normal, non-moth, non-pumpkin house though!
@@DoctorDDub It's not even the price itself, of course, it *is* expensive, as far as I'm concerned (specially with exchange rates), but I'm the type of person that if I like something enough, I won't have much problem in pumping money into the thing, so if the game was already out, and I had played it a little to see how much I like it, and the Moth House was available as DLC (much like other games and their clothes DLCs), I would probably hesitate, but I would still buy it. However, we all have seen our fair share of Kickstarter projects that went nowhere even with their goal met, or that weren't able to deliver on everything they promised, as such, being the pessimist I'm, I'm not willing to pay that much for an exclusive item that have no certainty of ever being reality.
Tl;dr: If the Moth House is still available for purchase post-launch, then I'll probably buy it.
That's it, sorry for the little rant.
Assuming how much time they're taking for releasing the game, I guess the game will be awesome and perfect!
I can’t wait to be an alpha tester next year 🙈🥰
This is so cute and perfect-looking I actually feel a smidge of anxiety and sadness... like my brain just can't handle the fact such wholesomeness exists!
Why? There's many other similar cute wholesome games like this one. Like Mario, Kirby, and Animal Crossing. Check out Madmorph who likes to play a lot of this genre. Gab Smolders too. But she likes to play some horror games too. Look up chibi.
This sounds like a game-dream come true. I was dreading that it didn't have cooking but as soon as you mentioned it, I was immediately sold. Everything about this game looks perfect.
I got a Buster the Lavender Cow from them not that long ago (highly recommend, extremely fluffy and very squishable. Has helped me through numerous sad nights) and I am SO excited for this game. I don't really know how kickstarter works yet, but for this game I will look into it more so I can support it. It doesn't happen often that you can claim to have game merch before the game even exists. Seeing my favorite purple cow in the game shots makes me so happy!!
If you have questions about Kickstarter, let me know! I've backed enough games to have a pretty good idea of how it works. But that's so cool that your own plush is in game! Lol
Honestly even though it is a ways away, I’m so glad to hear that they are planning on spending a few years on really fine tuning the game! It seems very amazing and adorable but also pretty complex! I’m so stoked for this
this game’s ad came up in a youtube video months ago and i haven’t seen it again since UNTIL NOW OMG i’m so happy i found this video!!!!!
i've been waiting for this game to come out for literally forever
Thank you for sharing this, it looks adorable!! This is the first game to really remind me of my favorite 2008 Facebook game, Pet Society which left me heartbroken when it was bought out and then immediately shut down by evil EA.
You are very welcome, Carrie! I've never heard of that before, but hopefully this can scratch that same itch for you! :)
I loved Per Society ! I was so sad when I suddenly tried to play it again for childhood nostalgia only to realize it was gone.
EA.......
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A FORGOTTEN MEMORY OF MY CHILDHOOD OH MY GOD
I have been following the development since they announced it like a year ago. I've been following that company for quite some time. I am so hyped for this. I've already backed it and can't wait
That's awesome! Do you own any of their plushies?
@@DoctorDDubyah I have one of the cows. There great
@@Sailorella Yea their cows are some of the cutest of an already entirely adorable group. I've had me eye on the cow plushies.
I just CAN’T believe how perfect this game is!!! It’s everything I’ve ever wished for in a game and even more. I’m soo excited for the release and I’m glad that it’ll also be available on the switch
They're at $2.5M now! :D :D :D
I'm so happy UA-cam suggested this video to me. I'm so excited!
just checked out the kickstarter, 2ish weeks after this was uploaded, $2.5 million raised holy heck i'm excited for this game
Right? That's no small chunk of change!
IM SO HAPPY THIS GAME IS GETTING HYPE, I’ve been following their growth since their start up, I just know this game is gonna be big
For those who love games like this where you explore the world with amazing graphics, definitely try out Sky children of the light. It’s an amazing game where you can find many friends and customize your look as you progress in the game
This is exactly the type of cozy sim game I've been wanting to play! I will patiently wait until 2025 for this. Eerything about this looks amazing, wholesome and cute. I'm excited to see what the final finished product will bring us!
I hope that this comes to nintendo switch soon this is absolutely adorable and right up my alley❤
I AM LIVING FOR THIS, LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS SO CUTE AND PERFECT BUT THE INTERIOR IS SO SO BEAUTIFUL AHHHH!!!
Right??? Those interiors got me good, lol. I'm a sucker for a good kitchen.
This game is so adorable I'm crying my eyes out.
I am actually crying that I can’t back this anymore 😭😭😭 so excited though and happy for them!! 💖
You didn’t miss anything. They are doing another backer kit for a month. Join their discord because they can answer all your questions and give you a update.
Megan out here doing the real work! :D Thanks Megan! Yep, Backerkit is a post-Kickstarter option a lot of campaigns will use as sort of an "afterparty" to the main event that was the Kickstarter campaign. Usually with the option to still pre-order, albeit without some of the Kickstarter exclusives.
As of today its kickstarter is over 2 million. Absolutely phenomenal
Just found this video and checked out the kickstarter to find that they already exceeded 2M! Hurray! 2025 sounds so far away but I'm really looking forward to it! ✨ Thanks for sharing all the info so far on this adorable game! 😆
Nooo I'm so sad the project isn't live anymore, I so wanted those adorable moth outfits and alpha access 😭😭 Oh well, at least they reached their final goal!! It's gonna turn out amazing for sure 😍
I'm coming from the SunnySide server and watched the whole video! I learned about PuffPals just the day before yesterday and I'm so into it! It's adorable in every single way! It really reminds me of Animal Crossing and it has Fishing AND Cooking AND house customization which is a hundred plus for me! The artstyle is extremely cute and the whole atmosphere gives me the feel of living in a fairytale! I hope they surpass their and our expectations by a lot and hit success! Nice video overall!
*Edit: Also, I just realised I learned SunnySide AND Palia AND Coral island from you! Omg why were I not a subscriber of yours for SO long?!! Subbed and waiting for more exciting videos!
Hahaha, happy to bring those games into your life in at least the tiniest way :D I'm happy you enjoyed the video and hopefully it won't be too long till my next one! Working a full-time job plus trying to stay sane makes my upload schedule a bit lacking.
@@DoctorDDub I totally understand! Take your time with your content! Always first comes life! And we'll be here ^^
Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for sharing Doc 👍😀 Definitely going to keep an eye out for this gem of a farming sim 👍
You're so welcome! Let's hope they can keep the hype train alive and kicking!
This is like a super cute and cozy animal crossing meets harvest moon, it looks extremely promising! It kills me that the wait is this long, but hopefully the wait will be worth it. I don’t know if I’d want it on PC or Switch lol.
This game reminds me of harvest moon. That game was my childhood! I can't wait to play this!
Me too!!! Which ones did you grow up with?
THANK YOU! I stumbled across this video yesterday, and was able to pledge a few hours before it ended. Being on the discord all night leading up to the end of the KS was such a rush of community - thank you so, so much for this video!
This is sooo adorable! How is the doing?
It's crazy how many games try to cover the whole Harvest Moon left and so far no one was able to fill the gap!
I'm always looking for cute and comforting games like this. I hope development continues to go smoothly
This is a really pretty looking game. If you'd given this to me blind, I would have guessed it was a mid-size to AAA studio Switch release. They've really got a strong idea of the aesthetic and vibe they're going for. I guess the long development timeframe is because they are working with a smaller team and have to account for making lots of Kickstarter bonuses. Hoping the devs succeed!
Thats such a loving game! It cracked the 2 million milestone, that's very impressive! It would be so cool to have a little strawberry buddy. XD The flying island is a very nice concept.
Strawbuddy. Barry the Strawberry. Lol, I agree though!
I’m actually crying 😭 I need thisssss! It’s made for me LoL.
I spent my whole life playing animal crossing games and my 2nd fav game is stardew valley. I love cottegecore. I’m even an aspiring plush maker. I cannot express how excited I am for this. I love the customisation, the adorable creatures, the beautiful landscapes,…everything!!
These types of games also inspire me to live a similar life in the real world. I want to try farming and gardening. I want to go out there and do stuff. It reminds me that life can be better and it doesn’t have to be so stressful ..
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen, I am SO buying this when it's available! 😭❤️
I am gutted to have to wait so long for this! It looks really relaxing. Cant wait for it to come out though! I will definitely be picking it up at some point!
Man I'm incredibly excited for this
It's the type of game I've been looking for for a while
I saw an ad about it once, it looked promising and I honestly can't wait for it's release
I remember getting an ad for it and viewing the kickstarter. I’m very excited for this game it looks adorable. And very relaxing.
the game looks really great but im afraid if it REALLY takes this long to finish the game ... the hype will fade. Dont get me wrong i saw that with many many small games who looked great but took ages to come out. The hype fated ... the gameplay or graphics were outdated and some of them really didnt make it in the end. I hope with more sponsors they will finish it sooner because i would love them to keep the hype until the very end!
I hope you stay tuned in for all of us alpha tester who get to start playing this next year… I definitely feel like this game will have a future.. you just need to believe in them, the alpha testers who will give feed back to Lily and her team.. to make this game great… so have faith in them and the alpha testers 🤗❤️
Yess!! I was waiting for you to put out a video on this! So excited 😭
Haha, how'd you know I would?!
@@DoctorDDub intuition 🥳
Haha, well it steered you right! Quick, think of another dozen video ideas but don't tell me what they are! That'll help me significantly over the next few months ;)
it's a 3D , cutesy, lore-y skyblock!! I love it!!
A little sad that I've never heard of this before, and YT just suggested this video to me TODAY! KS pledge period already ended though.
As much as I love Animal Crossing, this game is definitely going to give the franchise a run for its money!!! This is so cute😍
ill definitely be picking this game up when it comes out. apart from how adorable it is, i love how inclusive the hairstyles are
This is definitely gonna be worth the wait.
I hope it comes to some consoles
Can't wait to play this game, it looks so adorable!
Too bad we have to, huh? Haha
My god. A game company named ‘Fluff Nest’, complete with cute plushies and a wholesome game in the works? I never thought I’d be so excited!! I’ll probably save up for a plush from them!
i just found your channel and i love all your suggestions. you are my new favorite channel, i love how comforting the contents are.
I really hope this turns out well, and best of luck to the dev team! This looks adorable!
I hope it does too… because lots of us backers spent good money to be an alpha tester to give feed back
This looks like an absolute dream. I can't wait!
Ah man, really sad I missed the campaign! Looking forward to this game!
So, I accidentally found this video while looking up a song from another cute game called Livly Island, and I am so glad I discovered this game! I am also a huge fan of Animal Crossing, so I can't wait for its release!!!
I actually fallow them on FB and LOVE their plushies! I had NO CLUE about this game until now and I can't wait!!!
I love you Doc, you never cease to amaze me with all these incredible looking games that I wouldn't have known about until they were out. Thank you so much for everything you do!😄
MWAH! Thank you for saying thank you, Logan! I really do appreciate it - these aren't quick to make but I enjoy them and I'm glad others do too!
@@DoctorDDub 😘
@@DoctorDDub 😆 No but seriously I think I speak for everyone here and the developers of all these games when I say how much your efforts are appreciated!
Thank you, Logan. I enjoy doing what I do and I'm glad that it's appreciated and enjoyed by others!
this looks amazing! im def getting the leaf cat as a pet when the game comes out!
Omg, this is soooo adorable. It feels like a nice mix between Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley and Sims. I already love it
I remember when I first saw an add for this on instagram. Everyone called it a rip off of animal crossing. I remember when the models looked like paper dolls, and when they first launched their kickstarter. I am so happy knowing they managed to get it out, and I feel like a proud mom. I can’t wait until it’s out to buy.
I've already commented like twice but THE HOME CUSTOMIZATION LOOKS SO GOOD OH MY GOD!!! IT'S LITERALLY THE GAME OF MY DREAMS??? 😭 I've been just thinking about how badly I want something with in-depth home customization that isn't just The Sims or Animal Crossing, the latter I can't even currently afford. And this game looks to be everything I wanted and more in that regard *alone*, but everything else seems perfect, too!
I like that they aren't of the "it will come soon" type, but really say that we have to wait for years. What i don't like are the tiers ... it just seems over the top that you only get a special house design at 50$ ... this should be to help them develop and not to get "prepurchase only" stuff
it is to help them develop, its just more of a thank you for the investment, obviously the more someone invests into the game, the bigger the 'thank you' gift they get. Because the devs appreciate that investing into a kickstarting game is a lot of money. It isn't supposed to be a case of 'oh i want that thing but it costs $50', Its not a retail shop. Its a complimentary gift to an investment.
Thank you for that response, Demon. You said it way better than I could, but I agree completely! A lot of people forget that Kickstarter isn't a store, it's an investment platform.
It's also pricey bc it's an exclusive for backers only. The only other way to get the exclusive house design is to pay for the $250 reward tier so I think it's really awesome of them to offer it as an add on for $50. As well as the other add ons that start at $10. Plus I think all the tiers are very well put together, if I had the money I would have gotten all the extra goodies! Lol So it's nice to at least be able to afford some of the add ons/exclusive extras to my alpha access pledge.
