Jesto: Dec 22, 2004; Balls.

'bout time a game in this genre showed up somewhere other than a console or handheld.

Here's the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot7uXNQskhs

Soundtrack available here for $4.99 https://www.humblebundle.com/widget/v2/product/stardew_valley_ost/7jlew7UWdF

Stardew Valley now available on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/413150 :siren:

What is it?

If you have played any Harvest Moon game for the SNES or GBA, chances are Stardew Valley looks immediately identifiable. You end up in ownership of a farm and it's up to you to make something of it while accomplishing various other goals.

So it's Farmville.

No, Farmville is a microtransaction click timewaster. In Harvest Moon-style games, you have a certain amount of time each in-game day to devote to whatever you want to do. These activities include:

quote:

Turn your overgrown field into a lively farm! Gather resources and use them to build a variety of farm buildings. You'll have plenty of space to set up your farm just how you like.

Improve your skills over time. As you make your way from a struggling peasant to a master farmer, you'll level up and earn skill points to distribute in 6 different areas: farming, mining, adventuring, fishing, foraging, and luck. As you progress, you'll learn new cooking and crafting recipes, and unlock new areas to explore.

Become part of the local community. With over 30 unique characters living in Stardew Valley, you won't have a problem finding new friends! Each person has their own daily schedule, unique mini-cutscenes, and new things to say throughout the week and year. As you make friends with them, they will open up to you, ask you for help with their personal troubles, or tell you their secrets!

Explore a vast, mysterious cave. Your progress in the cave is saved, so you don't have to worry about making it to the bottom in one day. As you dig deeper and deeper, you'll encounter new and dangerous monsters, different environments, valuable gemstones, raw materials for crafting and upgrading tools, and mysteries to be uncovered.

Court and marry a partner to share your life on the farm with. There are 10 available bachelors and bachelorettes to woo. Date around for a while to get to know your options before you decide on a special someone. Follow your heart and pick any of the 10 eligibles. Your spouse will live on the farm with you and even help you out with chores. [* In Stardew Valley you can even marry a boy if you're a boy, or a girl if you're a girl. Stardew doesn't discriminate, unlike some other games named after celestial bodies.]

Spend a relaxing afternoon at one of the local fishing spots. The waters are teeming with seasonal varieties of delicious fish. Craft bobbers to help you in your journey to catch every fish and become a local fishing legend!

Contribute to the field of archaeology. Dig around for ancient artifacts and bring them to the local archaeology office. Turn them in for money, resources, items, or even to expand the town library. Strive to discover every artifact!

Cook delicious meals and craft useful items to help you out. With over 100 cooking and crafting recipes, you'll have a wide variety of items to create. Some dishes you cook will even give you temporary boosts to skills, running speed, or combat prowess. Craft useful objects like scarecrows, oil makers, furnaces, or even the rare and expensive crystalarium.

Customize the appearance of your character and house. Play as a boy or girl and choose from a variety of skin, hair, eye, and clothes colors. The local shop has new wallpaper and floor styles avaible every day. Craft a wide variety of decorative items to furnish your house. As you upgrade your house you'll have more room to decorate!

Compete to become the next Stardew Hero. You'll have two years on the farm to prove your abilities... if you do well enough, you might even beat out the competition to win the coveted title of Stardew Hero! [* This doesn't mean the game ends after 2 years. Just you're judged on how well you've done after 2 years, at which point you can keep playing regardless.]

Over an hour of original music. Each season has 3 unique themes, and as your progress in the mine you'll discover new tunes waiting around the corner. Once you've heard a song, you can play it whenever you like from the jukebox in Gus' Saloon.

So what does it look like?

I didn't include each and every single thing villagers dislike. It's only included on the list as a dislike if it conflicts with a universal love/like.
