      Most of that time had to have been learning time. A veteran game developer could probably crank out a game of this quality (minus some charm maybe) in a fraction of the time. The foundation of the game and a playable demo could probably be made in a 7 day game jam, and the rest of the game could be built up from there. Characters went through a lot of revisions and I feel like most of that revision time could have been saved with a more efficient workflow.
      Still though. I got suggested this video because I'm an aspiring game dev and I couldn't imagine working 12/7/365 for 4 years on a single project, and I also doubt I'll ever publish a finished product half as good as Stardew Valley.

      yeah animal crossing villagers seem to just say the same kinds of stuff, they never change or anything. I'm 3 years into another playthrough in stardew and I think I haven't heard many (if not none at all) repeated lines from the villagers. since their range of dialogue increases the more close you get to them it isn't repetitive, and actually feels natural and not just like a robot saying the same few lines over and over

    Harvey is hands down my favorite bachelor. This is also probably partly because I have a thing for doctors but hey, don't hold that against me. He's by far the most stable. He's the town doctor, he's sweet, kind, respectful, and is a great help on the farm. He also faces his fear of heights in order to take you on one of the most memorable dates in the game. A true romantic. He's also the one who takes care of you when you're attacked and faint in the mines. It also doesn't hurt that some of his favorite things like wine and pickles are some of my real life favorites as well lmao.
    I love this game so much. It has brought me so much joy. Sometimes I wish I could live there, or at the very least forget I've played it so I can discover it all over again.

We need communities again this game taught me, now it's strange to know the person living next to you but there was a time I remember you could walk next-door and say hi, now being older I miss those days more than anything, and feel sad I never could fully enjoy their existence in a sea of a violent marriage and and divorce.

    From a design standpoint, one thing that sets Stardew apart from other farming sims is that huge first map and the level of customization available. It gives the player a sense of possibility throughout the whole experience. Other farming sims seem to miss this, and it's why Stardew does so much better.

    I currently have around 130+ hours on a single save in stardew valley, and most of those hours have been played this year. I know no-one wants to hear a random dude's sob story but I was really struggling with college and deadlines around February, and decided to pick up my old save from 2017, that had about 20 hours to it's name. It was horribly played, since I was a noob back them whose only goal was to romance Elliott (yes, Elliott of all bachelors).
    After a season or two in the game (and a lot of help from the wiki) I whipped it into shape, left Elliott at 6 hearts and went after Sebastian. But I started to realise (a little too late since by that time I was already married to him) that I didn't want a relationship with Sebastian. I WAS Sebastian. I had the same problems and fears and stardew valley made me realise that I can still make something out of my dull, repetitive life after I had dropped out of college for mental health.
    Even with that life changing revelation, Sebastian still isn't my favourite part of this game. Oh, it gets way better than that. I'm talking about the music.
    It astonishes me every day I load up the game that just one guy and a whole lot of passion was able to create some of my favourite ost tracks ever made. Screw that, my favourite songs in general.
    I can't be the only person who actually cries when it's reaching the end of summer, and your character is standing on the boardwalks surrounded by the townsfolk, and the ocean is dark and unmoving until you see the first few moonlight jellies. And the song starts to play. I'm on year 4 of this save, and every time the dance of the moonlight jellies has never failed to make me tear up. (Also watch Eric barones cover of it on his RUclips channel it's the most wholesome thing ever)
    The single best thing about this game for me is Winter (The Wind Can Be Still). It's a miracle that such a song has been created that I can listen to whenever I want. It's so good that I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to hear it. It truly shows that lyrics are not needed to tell a beautiful story.
    Stardew valley is my favourite game. Idk how to end this comment lmao

When you start out it’s just so simple and calm but you get past like year three, you have to manage a greenhouse, fields, coops, farms, and then if you have time mingle with the town folks (don’t let their hearts go down because you don’t talk to them!).

    This game has been getting me through college. When I’m super stressed, I just turn on my game and escape into my super aesthetic little farm and live the good life. It’s almost like it reminds me why I work hard: so I can have my own perfect little “farm” in the real world. I’m not a gamer, but this game is such a blessing to my sanity, I’ve even been known to sit in class and play with one hand and take notes in the other, I’m now on a profs dislike list. But that’s not the point, it’s such an incredible and beautiful game that I can’t help but be obsessed

    i'm on my first playthrough and i married elliott! i've always been a fan of the princely men with long flowing hair :') but what really made me like him was the fact that he was an optimistic writer trying to keep some spark of his youthful dreams alive, despite everyone around him telling him it wasn't feasible, to give up, etc. as someone who had to give up their dream of writing for a more "realistic" and "stable" career, something about that really spoke to me. i guess it's like a self insert that goes both ways, me wanting to support the writer chasing their dreams and the alternate reality where i marry a rich farmer that would let me pursue said dream, LMAO :')

      There is no studio, there's just Eric Barone, (AKA Concerned Ape). He not only did all of the programming, he did all the art and even the music. He did have another company port it over to XBox, PlayStation, etc. but beyond that, He stayed invested in it over the years and not only kept fixing bugs but kept adding free content. He added multiplayer, then later added split screen and with the last big update, (1.5), he added a whole new island along with tons of other content. ALL FOR FREE! The original $15 is the best value I've ever gotten from a game.

    I can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier. Stardew is a masterpiece and I know his next game will be the same way. Stardew is like coming home everytime I play it. I don't play it constantly but I do go through stents where it is the ONLY game I play for weeks at a time. I recently reached Perfection and it was the happiest a game has ever made me. I felt so accomplished and it was on my longest save (with over 300 hours on it). I have Stardew Valley stickers all over my pc, including 3 of my lovely wife Emily. So sitting at the summit with her after so many hours of enjoying and loving the game was easily one of my favorite moments I've ever had in a game. I have over 400 hours in the game but 300 of them are in that single original first save I had in the game. I played the game for the first time on a stream and I have so many fond memories of discovering things for the first time with some of my chat and of playing it off stream.
    Emily is like my idle woman. Linus is my best friend everytime I play the game. I cried on stream as I learned Shane's story as someone who has struggled with depression for 7 years. I refused to give Lewis his shorts for years because he's a grown ass man who can go pick up his boxers from his girlfriend his own damn self (literally had a 20 minute rant about that when I discovered the quest was to get his boxers back and not a pair of "shorts"). I can go on and on and on.
    I've never even payed a single mod and I've barely played it with any friends. I've literally just loved the world for over 400 hours. This game is my go to when I am going through things in real life.... but it is also just where I got when I want that warm fuzzy feeling in my heart that this game provides.

  • @xnxGrinder
    @xnxGrinder 3 года назад +8

    As for the best romanceable character, i think its Abigail. I personally like her story far more than of any other character. She's romantic, a bit naive, have a sort of mystery to her in her own story, she's not whiny, trying to achieve her own goals in life. Also, she's brave AND not stupid, which I cant say about many other characters. Also I think that her story and especially conclusion to it doesn't just tell you about your relationship, but asks some serious questions, that gamers themself tend to ignore. Bonus point: she's gamer herself. If thats not the definition of best girl, I dont know what is.
    But I can see why other people can prefer other characters, their stories really good and\or heartbreaking in their own right. I also sympathize Penny's parent problem and the weight of responsibility on her shoulders, Shane's loss of meaning in life, Haley that misses her parents, Alex's insecurity about himself, and so on. Every romanceable character is quite enjoyable to interact with. Well, there are boring ones like Harvey or Maru, but that maybe just me. Still, I think that Abigail is the best girl by far, I mean, she literally kills someone to save you, and I cant remember her being miserable or making you feel sorry for her. She doesnt make you sympathize with her, she makes you feel great about being around with her, and also she's there for you, not the other way around.
    PS: yea, sounds like love letter. Well, to hell with it, I just love her that much.

    It's extremely rare for an old genre-defining game/series to be replaced in everyone's minds by a new game, an indie game at that, as the one that defines the genre. Even if somehow I didn't like Stardew Valley (to be clear I love it), I would still marvel at the achievement.

    My favourite is Haley by far she has some of the best character development of all the bachelors it’s sad to see so much people who dislike her

    I wish more creators would recognise that his gf supported him (financially and otherwise) all through the development, she deserves more credit towards Stardews creation than she gets.

    That dig at 7 Days to Die was just amazing! xD
    Very common joke among me and friends, that maybe one day our grandchildren will be able to play the game in a Beta state.

    stardew valley is the type of game where you feel like you have played 3 hours but are actually a day later

    Am I missing out by having the switch version instead of the pc? I know mods can be a lot of fun but I'm not familiar with how to install or use them. Is it easy to use them? I'm debating purchasing it on steam as well 🤔

      As far as I know you need a emulator of sorts called smapi.

      The only key difference is mods and if you want to know how to download them watch a tutorial there’s 1000s of them

      It's fairly easy. You need to install SMAPI, and then just drop the mods you want into a specific folder. It just requires a bit of work to maintain when some mods are updated or if some of them are incompatible. But the modding community are thriving and very helpful if you have any questions.
      You can browse the available mods on nexusmod site and maybe start from simple ones that improve QoL or aesthetic before delving into bigger mods. :D

    I bought this game when I first bought my switch but ended up needing to sell the switch! However I got one again and I plan to start playing it today on break at work and after work as well! I did try it when I first got it and all I remember is that the days go by extremely fast! I didn’t get very far into the game so I’m hoping I can start all over again because I don’t remember what to do but looking forward to playing it again
