Stardew Valley

How come there isn't a single farming game that has come close to Stardew Valley?

because no other farming game has HER

No other farming game gives players what they want.

he hasn't played Fields of Mistria

Fields of Mistria

no I haven't is it good?

no it's not, the only appeal is the pseudo 90s anime char design but the character and plot itself is fucking garbage

SunHaven was a buggy piece of crap

I think Rune Factory 4 has it beat at least in some areas. Its combat is better and the daily dialogue is more varied.

Jas

inb4 "graveyard keeper is better" hit and run nigger

This. Farming games must have a Jas equivalent or they're nonstarters.

because realistically, they dont put any thought or effort into the gameplay being fun and the writing/characters just isnt as good as SDVs.

Graveyard Keeper is better

Fuck stardew combat has no place in farming games. I'm going back to FOMT

Because games that copied Stardew Valley just saw that it was a farming game and did nothing else beside make a game with JUST farming. Stardew has a bunch of other shit that you can do in it besides farming.

I havent played it, because they havent even added romance yet.
Im holding out, but it looks really good.

Its coming THIS YEAR

concerned ape hires an outside guy to do a large portion of the work for 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 stardew content

leaves and is now making his own stardew clone with massive improvements.

So if you like the 1.3-1.5 content from stardew, you are gonna love this.
He is ripping off stardew, just like stardew ripped off harvest moon.

want to play Jas mod

heard it's not compatable with the newest version

This was over a year ago has it been updated since?

RF4 really is the best of the bunch if you want to do stuff outside of farming. I love RF4 and Stardew both.

logo looks like shit, it's gonna suck hsr

Its literally a copy of stardew, from a guy who worked on stardew, who got inside the mind of concerned ape, but is poor and hasnt "made it" in the industry yet.
Its going to explode since ConcernedApe is a lazy retard who will never release his stupid chocolatier game

I could never get into the game. All the NPC interactions are too much. If I'm gonna farm i just want to fucking farm not get affection points with 30 god damn NPCs just so i can grow a legendary carrot or some shit.

can't play as a cute girl

dropped

have a better logo next time, simple as.

Haley is weak to anal

check release date

2025

May as well benever at this point

It was q4 of 2024, but he just pushed it back.
He said its coming Soon™ on the discord.

Is this game actually fun? I like the art

Is there a mod to romance the MILFs?

it's used to be "coming soon" and TBA meant within 6 months to a year, now it may as well mean never.

I notice a lot of stardew aspirants have very... idpol/dei aspects. As if the population of a coffee shop in Portland was transplanted inexplicably into a rural working class environment.

Eh, the discord is small and he posts constant updates and gameplay videos. Im holding out hope when he says soon, he actually means it, its been a fully functional fleshed out game for the last 6 months.

Harvestella is better

So why play this "stardew clone" over actually stardew? I'm not flinging shit, I'm just curious

Podunkian, your game is going to sell like shit that said I dont like how many contract workers Ape used while continuing the meme that he is the sole developer

idpol/dei aspects.

Who are Maru and her father?

The farming stuff is such a minor thing in Harvestella

He has elements but less overt than the others.

Same reason you play Stardew mods.
All anyone wants is more of the same, just with "new" content.

Podunkian really should spam this shit everywhere, he has done almost no advertising at all

Expanded is a necessary expansion
Ridgeside is cringe

It's not quite the same but Nivalis looks promising.
