Stardew Valley: Indie Harvest Moon on PC

Probably intentional.

Just looked through this thread again and realized nobody talked about this.

Spoiler

Take a look at the top right corner. That can’t be a coincidence, right?

2023 gold even though we have the year 2022? Or are you talking about the display of the chain mail in the house?

The gold. This was shown in October 2021.

I am almost done with my first year, have finished the mine and have a gold watering can. Now I'm not sure what to do for my second year. I will farm of course but other than that it seems like I have to search for some walnuts and grind the mine for the museum?

The community for this game is drowning in catpiss and hormones...

But I want something where I can build a house and a farm and chill and go exploring; would this game be good for that?
-Can you ignore the NPCs (the in-game ones) except for buying / selling and not engage in the romance stuff? Can I just be a hermit?
-Is the world infinite or is it limited? How is exploration?
-Are there any non-pozzed youtubers for this game I can refer to in case I need tutorials?

Just try to kill everyone. They should leave you alone.

I've played one of the earlier versions. Npcs will harass you at first coming at your doorstep, but eventually they will leave you alone and you can just focus on your autistic farming. Your mailbox still gonna get spammed by "mom" and other retards though.

Yes, you can ignore them. You don't need to romance anyone or interact with them much and in fact if you don't you can spend more time on your farm. Less busy work and remembering schedules. You can get a dog btw that is very low maintenance and just prances around your farm and barks.

The world is limited, but there are multiple dungeons to explore or some sections where you can get to only by acomplishing certain goals like upgrading your tools. I don't remember it as clearly because i played it years ago.

I don't think you even need tutorials in this game especially coming from some insuferable jewtuber. But theres always a wiki.

The game has a rep of being a chick game with faggy vibes but it's pretty meditative to just chill, go fishing and farm crops.

Thanks for the information. Social stuff being forced in was one of my main concerns.

I'm ok with partially closed world as long as other people aren't following me into it and the doge is a bonus. There seems to be an active modding scene too and the latest update is supposed to improve moddability so hopefully there's more good stuff in the pipeline.

Checked the wiki and its remarkably good; maybe the dev realized after release that it would be beneficial to have an information source that doesn't involve interaction with the game's community. The adult modding scene is very tame compared to Bethesda games or the Sims but then again it takes a special kind of dedication to bring that kinda stuff to a pixel-art game.

Didn't they add homo stuff in at some point though? I know it wasn't in there when I played it back in early 2016 but I'm pretty sure they did eventually. IIRC, wasn't there also one interracial couple?

The game has a nice atmosphere and good sound effects but it utterly lacks the charm a Harvest Moon: Back to Nature has.

 

[Fargus]

Modding was booming at the time i last played it in 2019. But so many incompatibilities if you compare it to modding Bethesda engine stuff, and mods used to expire very fast between updates. So i just gave up on playing a modded game.

Yeah that stuff was from the get go in a pretty tamed form. I don't know if the dev ever went beyond that like adding troons and proclaiming his love for alphabet. The interracial couple is some nigger scientist and his mudshark wife.

If i'm not wrong there was mod that makes him white.

Hilarity ensued

And the mod itself can be found on basedmods, should still work considering it's just sprite replacement

Right, the female carpenter...of course.

The game is also _very_ American, with the dumb jock and the dumb blonde etc. Of course, the characters are, at the end, also superficially non-superficial. Personally, I went with the artist girl back then. At least she lived outside town.

The cute bookish redhead that babysits local children was pretty nice

 

[jackofshadows]

I remember going for the trophy wife (the blond). Was kinda cool. A nice game but... eh. And yeah: female carpenter + nigger scientist: give me a break. It wasn't nearly as tiresome back at the day but still. Curious about whether he added gay stuff later - maybe not because modders covered that up anyway?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Where's the Grim Reaper mod where you kill everyone and "harvest" their souls?

The trailer trash girl? Heh. Well, apparently she became a bachelorette later on (after my time).

Yeah, I wrote I thought so above...and looking at the old man's conversations...

Player married to Alex

Male player

“	“How can two men get married? It's unnatural... Hmmph. I guess I'm just "old fashioned"...”

Male player, 10 Hearts with George

“	“I'll admit, I thought it was... strange... for two men to be together. But you're such a nice young man, and I know you two are in love... I've changed my mind.”

I've found Graveyard Keeper to be extremely bloated with things to do, yet not giving you a clear direction and the tutorial is endless.

 

[Fargus]

Tried it too and it was unfun. I think i lasted like 30 minutes before just uninstalling it.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

So the king of the hill is still a certain version of Harvest moon eh?

Generally accepted to be Back to Nature/Friends of Mineral Town. It's why Stardey Valley basically copied it 1:1, though, adding more stuff later.

 

[Fargus]

There should be a handful of SW\HM copycats nowadays on steam. Just like devs copy that vampire survivors game, which was kinda of a copy of Crimson Land.

Are there though? I checked some years ago and found nothing (via search engines at least). And yeah, I played Crimsonland back in the day. Great game. I think they added paid missions or something at some point.

Farming games are mobile territory. Even the most lazy cash grab with sliding puzzles will net you more money than any steam release would.
The most popular farming games on mobile trump Stardew in terms of profits in the several millions.
