Beta (Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life)

Just like every game A Wonderful Life went through a few changes during its beta stages from the final copy. Here's a few examples we were able to find.

Missing Animals

Here you see that a cat is walking around, but in reality, you don't see any animals that you can own anywhere off your farm outside. Also, you'll notice that the well was moved. The shadows have also been changed from this version, though that's because of an effect they change near the end of production.

Camera Changes

In this picture, the camera view when looking at crops has changed. Though it's arguably for the better, this still posed an interesting perspective.

Dog Could Herd

Note that the "button" is not on the wall in this pic. Also, the dog used to be able to herd animals, but not anymore.

No More Ducks

Excluding the turtle, you will no longer see animals, such as the ducks, anywhere off your farm.

Missing Horse

The horse is clearly running in this picture, and it seems to be younger. Perhaps you once could get a pony? Also, note that the horse does not move around--at least not to this extent--in the final version.

Dog Training

At one point you were able to train the dog.

No More Item Preview Images

There is no longer an "image preview" beside the item names.

We will try to add more deleted features in the future. But for now, we have one special thing for you to check out: the traveling circus. The traveling circus was briefly mentioned in a Japanese article, but sadly seems to have been scrapped early on. Luckily, we have an exclusive picture of that article, that you won't find anywhere else.
