worst town map ever
>>735938157oh yeah how about you take a crack at it tough guy?
>>735938318No.
>>735938387so it's better than nothing which is all you're capable of? great, good thread, thx
>>735938157This really is terrible. Stardew really lucked out on being "Harvest Moon but on PC" because they fuck a bunch of basic stuff.>Highway but it just ends in the middle of nowhere>Train station but its totally removed from the town>There's a truck but it can't even leave its yard and there's no road>The community centre isn't even in the centreIf you pay attention to harvest moon the town is effectively just a big loop because it expects you to go out and talk to people. Everything is just placed wherever in Stardew
>>735938756There's something about house placement for the NPC's that bothers me? I'm playing Portia right now and the lack of different shops feels barebones
What the fuck is that shit above joja mart?
>>735938756>The community centre isn't even in the centrenow you know why everyone stopped using it and it fell into disrepair
>>735938756>The community centre isn't even in the centreThe 'center' part is not to be taken literally.
>>735938756You think that's stupid? You haven't even gotten to the part where there's a wizard and dancing apples. Totally took me out of the world.
>>735938416get back to work, eric.
>>735939069>You finished rebuilding it>No one is in there everIsn't that more strange?
>>735938982Slave market
>>735938756I think the most basic failure of Stardew, is that Pierre's and Joja need to have their positions swapped. The fact that Pierre's is more convenient completely eliminates the choice from relevance. If Jojamart had a shittier selection, for more money, but was 30 seconds closer, the dilemma would feel a lot more real. Instead, you have to go out of your way for Joja.If every time you went to Pierre's, you had to pass by Joja, it would be way more effective.
>>735939102anon things are named ways for a reason
>>735938318Jojamart makes no goddamn sense so far from the center square. It should be closer to the bus station, maybe even right next to Pierre(and closer to the farm)
>>735939069center aren't in the centre; that's where the markets are dummy.
>>735939598Center in this context doesn't mean the literally middle of a place, it means a common place where people congregate.
>>735940060a place where people congregate is called a community. the center of the community is called the community center.
>>735939598ive yet to find a town square that isnt circular. post thumb.
>>735940184Red square? Moscow?
Perfection
>>735940431technically still circular, iiven if only semi-circular. nice try, comie-rad
>>735938157Worst game map, good game though otherwise.
>>735938157Nah, it has its issues, but not worst.
>>735939216I always found it stupid that they sell the same seeds and stuff.Joja is obsolete in everyway.
>>735939216There's dialogue that suggests Jojamart was supposed to be cheaper than Pierre's but got changed at some point.
>>735938157Stardew Valley's map is fucking terrible and waste so much time.
>>735939069it's a small town, you want to buldoze whoever living on the center just to build it?
>>735939605Nigga are you retarded? Jojamart came to Stardew later, likely only a year or two before the beginning of the game.There wouldn't have been any land, and nobody would sell.
>>735939216Pierre is that old mainstreet mom and pop shop and Joja is that big surburban megamarket
>>735938157Yeah I haven't played much of this game but just getting around that stupid town was not my favourite part, pure brainless commute.
>>735941882Once you unlock the minecarts and get a steady source of coffee its a nothingburger
I played this game on Joja route and now every redditor wants to kill me and my family for some reason.
>>735940563it looks like fishe :D
>>735938157I Marry Haley every run
>>735938157>Farming game>Is actually about doing shitty zelda combat in a mineWTF was he thinking
I'm sure he held back many times during the development stage to avoid making it a porn game.
>>735942704Where the bosses at? This game is slop without them.
>>735942902Sorry, chud, no bosses for you. You will grind 1000 slimes and you will like it
>>735941509>There's dialogue that suggests Jojamart was supposed to be cheaper than Pierre's but got changed at some point.joja should start out cheaper, WAY cheaper, then pierre gets run out of business and all the prices at joja skyrocket to x2 what pierre was chargingmaximum immersion
>>735943008Pierre tries to sell your shit with a 10x markup to everyone including yourself. He should double the prices as soon as Joja goes out of business.
>>735942704yeah i thought that was weird too.
>>735938157How in the fuck did those Trucks get where they are, what the hell? Did a Helicopter drop them from the sky or something? Someone please explain how they parked there with a drawing or diagram or something, this is pissing me off.
>>735941509>>735943008>>735943356>Robin and Clint double the price of wood, stone and ores on year 2 for no explained reason.>Pierre does nothing no matter what you do with Joja.
>>735943618the trucks were there before everything else, then they built the town around them
>>735943660I could buy that for the green truck, it looks pretty old. But what about the big fat Jojamart truck? It has a dense established forest on the bottom and right, a river on the left, and cliffs on the top. There's no entry point for that thing even without the buildings in the way, or the fact it looks way too new to be sitting there for years.
The real problem with Stardew Valley is Americanisation. Harvest Moon is largely Japanese but it feels abstract enough that it's a kind of nowhere land. The American insertions end up feeling weird. You've got a mountain man in the snes HM but in SV it's just some weird homeless guy. You've got Jocks and Staceys but it's in a small town with like 20 people. You've got trailer trash people in a town where a house must cost pennies. It doesn't really hold up and feels weird, it's the video game equivilent of "eat your hamburger apollo"
>>735943893>it looks way too new to be sitting there for years.That's Joja quality for you.
>>735943945JojaGODS, I kneel
>>735938157how the hell does that big ol truck get to that blue building on the right side of the map
>>735943993I'm wondering that too. Even if the truck somehow made that impossibly tight turn between the large orange house and the blue house (it can't) no way is it going over that puny cobblestone bridge. The truck would be so wide it would have to drive on the rails of the bridge, and that puny thing would probably fall apart carrying a 2-3 thousand pound truck
>>735938756>invent LGBT+ representation first compared to HM/SoS/RF seriesYour game suck.
>>735940170>the center of the community is called the community centerThat's not what a community center actually is you retard, not even that anon but you sound like a child
>>735941758the real deal would find a way to build it anywhere they wanted "nigga"
>Community path>You become a slave to chungus forest spirits and perform seemingly meaningless and random tasks you don't want to perform in the form of a humiliation ritual>They then use their forest magic to spawn stuff>Joja goes out of business and their manager gets assaulted by local merchant>Joja path>You run your farm the way you like and invest money in the city's development. Joja does the rest for you.>They solve complex logistical problems and complete construction work within the evening, all with the help of manual labor and human intelligence.>It takes a local bitch 2 days to build you a well and you provide all the building materials>The local merchant doesn't even go broke on this routeThey're the bad guys and you should feel bad if you play the game this way btw
>>735940170>a place where people congregate is called a communitythat's LITERALLY not at all what a community is you actual fucking retard. That would be something like a public forum. You must be 18 or older to browse this forum
>>735938157What is that random puny bridge doing right in front of the waterfall, anyway? Is there ever a good reason to walk far out of the way for that thing, when the cobblestone bridge is more convenient for literally everything in that part of town?
>>735944451This is just so you have a reference point for one of the hidden secrets.
>literally the most positively reviewed game on steam, ahead of titles like portal>/v/ hates itnever change
>>735938756>Train station but its totally removed from the townHow should it go? Right in the middle through the entire town?
>>735945314More like positively retarded. Portal would know how to park a fucking truck.
So... Is the chocolate game releasing this decade or what.
>>735945314aieeeeeeeeee don't post valid criticisms of the game i use as my surrogate dad!!!!!!!
>>735938157Stardew Valley is a transcoded game for trannies. The town is shaped like an egg and its no coincidence that the river running through it looks like a crack. Why do you think the player base is flooded with homosexual, trannies, women and other deviant degenerates? Eric Barone's parents worked at Mossad and the game was almost certainly funded by Israel to further destabilise the world and make people even more stupid and gay. The fact that the town is a cracked egg is (((them))) just rubbing it in our fucking faces.
>litle rustic village>fuckhuge ziggurat predating the village by millennia, with lower levels going straight to HellName a more iconic duo.
>>735946317You're trying way too hard.
>>735943926I like how that one american archetype faggot has PTSD from the war. I cannot think of anything else than Iraq or Afghanistan.
>>735946467But you didn't say I was wrong hey you fucking tranny. I am coming to kill you tranny, in your temple in telcalico aviv
I love vidya maps
>Can befriend dwarf and fuck some nigger spirit>Can't befriend cool adventurer guyHow so?
>>735938157
agreed
>>735945586That is pretty typical of country towns, yes.
>>735939605The real question is how the hell did they manage to park the truck next to Jojamart. The bridge is clearly way too narrow and there is clearly not enough space for the truck to move anywhere.
>>735949035That must be so nice to live in one of these when there's a train coming by in 3 am.
>>735938872>I'm playing Portia right nowHave you played Sandrock?
>>735940563>Chudovskaya streetHehe, chudbros
>>735939605anon joja is literally trying to buy pierre's lot
>>735947457There's more than Tamriel?Why the fuck don't we get games out there
>>735949973Why they never do that ingame?
>>735950039they can't even release a game for each tamriel zone
>>735939163have you even played the game
Cucking Clint is easily the funniest part of the game.I married Emily, and every time I go to the Blacksmith I imagine myself saying things like>Hey buddy how's it going?>Hope there's something good in these geodes>You know how much Emily loves her crystals>I'll never forget the look on her face when I gave her a prismatic shard>*chuckle*>Of course, a gentleman never tells>*wink*>*chuckle*>Well thanks for all your help buddy, I'll tell Emily you said hi>Wait I've had an idea. You should come round for dinner sometime. Me and Emily, you and your missus.>You don't have one? Well don't feel bad buddy, there's somebody out there for everyone.>I used to be single before I met Emily, then I move to this town and meet and there's this incredible and beautiful girl waiting for me. Now we have two amazing kids together.>Guys in this town must be blind or mad to have not snapped her up while they had the chance, am I right?>*chuckle again*>Alright buddy it's been a hoot talking to you, I'll come back tomorrow with some more geodes.
>>735949035have you ever even lived in country towns?train stations are hours away from the residential areas, with nothing but barren land in between
I don't remember these but I also haven't played since 2017, when did they add them and what do they do?
>>735951139>I imagine myself saying thingstake your meds
>>735938157The map makes no sense, how does that big truck even reach the parking lot? Let alone where the fuck does it come from? Stardew has no roads to the outside world.
>>735951190>No inner voiceNPC
>>735951184Kid park has always been there and has nothing going onRight part is some shop/exchange
>>735951184Thats a book merchant on the right
>>735951184The playground just has the kids and Penny hang during weekends with no school. Nothing special there.The balloonist however is a bookseller. Books are a new thing from 1.6. You can find books killing monsters, gathering materials or buying from certain merchants.Books give permament, passive perks like faster running speed, reducing the slowdown when running through grass or crops, chance to get fish roe when fishing up a treasure chest and monsters dropping double loot WITHOUT the burglar ring.https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Books
>>735951404>Raccoon Wife>Volcano Dungeon>Mystery BoxesMan I've missed so much
>>735938318Rune Factory 1's map was even better but I can't find a picture of it so you'll have to make do with this
>>735938318Stand back.
>>735938157Stardue Valley is an extremely stressful game, I don't get how people relax in it.
>>735953280Stale pasta is stale.
>>735949692Not yet but I started to play these games because of that thread last week they're fun games.
>>735943926For me it's the annoying sound of flies buzzing around in summer instead of the comfy cicadas.
>>735938157someone gimme an overworld tileset that doesnt suck
>>735951301Now that I think about it, kinda lame we never see them kids going there.
>>735953261That shit went so hard when I was 6
>>735938872as much as i love Portia is basically an alpha compared to sandrock
what the hell?i never noticed this building ever in a full run with a friend. since joja was completely useless i never explored north of it. what is this building for even
>>735953829>>735951404
>>735953829special items sells if i remember correctly
Fuck this place.
Just finished Guardians of Azuma. It was good but I don't feel like tackling the endgame content right now. Might start Grand Bazaar later today.
>>735953829>>735953912I lie, i remenber now, the sell exp and special books for abilities
>>735953952That's not thunder bluff
>>735953969i just did every town at level 10 and fuck off, didn’t even complete first year.
>>735938157I dont hate the layout but the color palette is pig disgusting.
>>735954039>i just did every town at level 10I fucking kneel. I just couldn't be fucked with everything costing hundreds of thousands of G. Every 5 minutes a weapon/armor upgrade whoops that's gonna be another 120k heehee.
>>735943926>StaceysHaley is best girl thoughbeit
>>735954113i just like decorating and making everything feels organic, but yeah the whole weapons thing is super retarded, specially when you get a new set almost very hour from dungeons, btw post-game weapons can cost as high as 500kk ach one lmao
>>735953952more like undershitty
>>735949241Wowzers, SOTN really aged like milk
>>735954237>btw post-game weapons can cost as high as 500kk ach one lmaoyeah... I'm not doing that
>>735954059After QoL and cheat mods, map recolors are some of the most popular downloads.
>>735938318behold
>>735943926>farming game:l>farming game, japan:O
>>735954447yeah that doesnt surprise me.everything is too saturated and the piss yellow is way too strong. too much yellow actually induces anxiety when a game like that should be soothing.should be earthy tones.
