Isn't she a teenager though? Like, I don't think it's ever stated but I got the feeling the player character is supposed to be in his late-20's-to-early-30's. It'd just feel weird to have him romancing someone still in highschool.

She sure acts like a teenager.

Probably, but then you could argue that Emily, Alex, Sam and Sebastian act a lot like teenagers too.

While I'm posting, I've seen a few links for a vinyl soundtrack for this game, which I'm only bringing up because I really like the gatefold artwork, which features all 12 dateable characters.



Edit: Should credit the artist, Kari Fry.

Wow, that's really cool. Harvey's even got his coffee!

The main character is a newbie office worker, so he can be any age you wnat him to be.

Besides, it's not like you'll ever age in this game. Ever.

So technically you are forver at whatever age the farmer is. 20 something?

In my mind, my farmer is whatever age most appropriate for the particular love interest.

Episodes 25 & 26 are ready for romance:

Stardew Valley #25 - Sheds and Another Summer
Stardew Valley #26 - Final Cutscenes, The Skull Cavern, and Another House Upgrade

It's finally here! The romance poll is live: Who should we romance? This is one answer only, but feel free to lobby for or against any of them in the thread. The options are as follows:

Abigail, the gamer girl who likes swords
Alex, the jock with the rock-hard abs
Elliot, the author with the marvelous hair
Emily, the magical hippie girl with the parrot
Haley, the barbie doll who likes photography
Harvey, the overworked doctor who loves airplanes
Leah, the ex-city-dwelling sculptor
Maru, the brainy nurse/inventor
Penny, the nurturing teacher with the drunk mother
Sam, the guitar playing skateboarder
Sebastian, the computer programming edgelord with a motorcycle
Shane, the recently less depressed blue chicken lover

I plan to leave the poll active for two weeks so everyone has a chance to get their votes in.

I voted for Maru, shes a very kind and intelligent person and will be prepared for the future and future problems.

Abigail kind of starts fights with her parents, Emily is a bit too much of a hippie, Haley is a wanna-be barbie doll, Penny is ok.

Oh god, Shane the blue-chicken-breeding punk rocker. I love that so much more than I can express.

I like your descriptions of our potential love interests.

Anybody but Emily.

Please don't be Emily.

Please.

Only correct answer is penny, though maru and leah are also cool.

As stated previously, I do like Maru, but Leah also seems to have her poo poo together for an artist, and since Alex got a little less one-dimensional he's growing on me too.

Episodes 27 & 28 are bundled up:

Stardew Valley #27 - Finishing the Community Center
Stardew Valley #28 - Junimo Huts and the Casino

The romance poll is still live until next week so get your votes in as soon as you can: Who should we romance? As I mentioned in the video, we're going to go back to doing single videos at a time going forward because the bulk of the plot has happened by now so there's a lot of grinding to do in between each cut. There's still more to come, it's just a lot more spaced out.

Voting for Abigail - She's so adorably shy, I think she would would make a fine wife.

I also agree with not Emily.

We did it! Yay us!

The fight scene was really funny. Especially how you know, Morris flew out of the screen and Pierre's like "I be :cool:"

I was just thinking, in every farming sim type game I've played we're so rich by the end of it, I have no idea where to blow all that money. And predictably 90% of the time, the money is coming from some other thing instead of farming.

Episode 29 is all dried up:

Stardew Valley #29 - The Last House Upgrade, Missing Animals, and the Real Grange

The romance poll is over and it's time to sow our seeds. We also get the final house upgrade and deal with the driest fall in the history of the world. I need one more round of suggestions from you guys and that's what we should name our kids. I'm starting to wrap up the game now, I'm figuring a few more episodes and we'll have all of the plot stuff done.

I feel like Abigail would give her kids super-dramatic, high fantasy type names. Ergo, I propose Galadriel and Aragorn as names.

Episode 30 is finished:

Stardew Valley #30 - Finale

I was planning to do another video or so, but once I got into it I realized that we've finished pretty much the whole plot so it's time to say goodbye to Awful Farm and Stardew Valley. I thank you all for keeping up with this playthrough and making your suggestions. I really hope you've enjoyed it, let me know what you guys thought of it. I might do another LP on the forums if I can think of another game that I feel will work with the longer schedule. We'll see how it goes.
