By being inspired by Harvest moon, Story of Seasons, and Stardew Valley, Tapia wanted to create concept ideas based around the popular farming games. She started with the first concept of a start up screen. You have the ability to choose between a girl or a boy before you start the game.
There is a lack of representation for people of color in these types of games, so Tapia thought having an concept screen of another level of customization would involve everyone in such a fun game. The gif flips through and showcases each skin color, each hairstyle, and outfits that come with the character.
