Just got this game, and I have NO idea how I was only able to play 20-25 minutes last night, holy poo poo. Can't wait to play more.

Has there been a timeline estimate at all for multiplayer? Also, do we know if it's literally just 'hey, more than one person can farm at once!' or will there be any sort of 'Send this item to <Steam friend>' through the mail' asynchronous stuff? I'm watching a few videos of the game, and there's a bunch of potential for more Animal Crossing-esque stuff, but I'd understand if the dev's not planning it.

Still, it'd be awesome to have! :shobon:

He's said he won't give a timeline at all, and he has no idea when it'll be done. But it's actual co-op farming with two people on the map together, farming jointly. I can't wait.

Ah ok, great!

I wonder if it'll be like another game by the same publisher that I don't want to mention, in that you can take items back to your single player game. :iiam:

I welcome this change. While it takes a little bit away from "realism" it caters to my completionist tendencies. NPCs will feel "finished" once I hit 10 hearts now.

Just think of it as once you get to 10 hearts, you've essentially prevented that NPC from knowing 'how to quit you'.

Honestly if they just made it 2player Co-Op then significant-others everywhere could play along as the spouse. My gf wants to play with me, so having that option would rock.

I've mentioned it before, but I'd be totally and absolutely down for Animal Crossing-style multiplayer. Almost entirely asynchronous, able to mail letters and gifts to other people if you have them on Steam (or through a code, maybe?), and the ability to hop in to a game, if the host has it set accordingly (with it being locked down by default).

So, I've decided that me/my dude Buddypants is going to go after Leah. Where does she usually go during the day? She likes wine and a lot of cooked meals, so after I get my kitchen, I'll be aiming to set up kegs and make a bunch of that.

The nice thing is you can pretty much just tweet at ConcernedApe with the bug and it'll most likely get fixed.

I'm pretty sure someone on Reddit reached out to him about a patch corrupting their save file and Ape literally fixed the save file for the guy

It's nice when you have a single person to report bugs and poo poo rather than a faceless department of a major gaming company.

I guess ConcernedApe is like Pierre, whereas AAA games are made by JojaMart.

Hey, what's the deal with the community centre? When does it open? I went there on day 3 and it was locked. I want to make sure that I get everything done for spring in time, unlike last time where I only went in there in summer, or the very last day of spring, so I missed out on a bunch.

I'm not a min/maxer, but I'd like to be somewhat efficient.

From the wiki:

"The Community Center is a location in Stardew Valley. Entering Pelican Town from the bus stop screen on any sunny day, from Spring 5th onward when the time is between 8:50 am and 11:50 am will trigger a cut scene with Lewis regarding the Community Center. He'll lead you there, and you will find some strange creatures called Junimos that fade in and out of existence, along with a glowing placard covered in strange writing. If you attempt to read the placard then the next day you will receive a letter from the Wizard and can enter his house. Once you have consumed the Wizard's potion, you can return to the Community Center to read the placards and give offerings to the Junimos."

All good! I assumed that there was specific stuff for winter that needed to be done, but it sounds like it's a bit of that, but mostly "work on stuff that doesn't die during the season".

Another sort of meta fishing tip: build a storage container and put it near the fisherman's hut/store (I can't remember many of the character names, sorry). That way, your inventory can be cleared out quickly and you can spend more time actually fishing instead of selling off your fish to make room.

Edit: this is assuming you're fishing near his place

Dad Update:

Summer of Year 2
-Junimos are Goblins Those Things Gnomes Forest Sprites Wood Sprites
-George is that evil dictator looking guy
-Going into people's houses without their permission or while they're not there is rude and he can't fathom why the game thinks it's normal
-He still refuses to make friends with anyone, but he's learning their names.
-He can now move around the map almost like a normal person. Almost.
-His priority seems to be the Community Center. He was disheartened when I told him to find a truffle he'd have to upgrade his barn twice.
-For some reason he's under the impression that you have to hit every rock in a level of the mine before you could go downward.
-He's yet to make it to Level 10 of the mine.
-He has yet to catch a fish. He refuses to let me help him level up. I'm going to suggest buying a bunch of crab pots and baiting them every day though it's going to take an intolerable amount of time at least it'll move him forward.
-He thinks the rewards from the Library are stupid and decoration in general are stupid.
-He finished the Crafting Room Bundle and I kept telling him to go to the bridge the Junimos Wood Sprites repaired. When he finally did go to the quarry three days later he was astounded :stonk:
-Playing time last night probably ended somewhere around 2AM

These are the best updates. :allears:

Also, I'm glad I'm taking my time; last time I had played this game, by winter I felt so frustrated because of the community centre. This time, though, I aim for everything that I can get in year 1 without going crazy, and then finish off the rest the next year.

I just want to say that I'm VERY thankful that there's no ultimate 'best' way to play this game, like absolutely having to have a perfect farm by a certain timeframe.

Granted, I haven't been visited by my grandfather yet (I'm only in year two), but from what I've heard, you can just keep getting more time, which is fantastic.

I mean, you could do a ridiculous amount of trial and error, but I've resigned myself to use the wiki for finding out that info, and I genuinely don't feel like I'm "gaming the system" or ruining anything.

Now, if I was to cheat in items, that would kill it for me.

Anyway, I'm getting back into this game in a huge way, and I'm TWO ITEMS AWAY from the greenhouse. Once I get the goat milk and duck egg, I'm all set, and my coffee empire will begin :getin:
