Hi everyone.
Lately I’ve been working on festivals. Festivals can take place in any area, and there are at least two per season. You’ll have the opportunity to visit shopping booths, take part in games & activities, or express your romantic interest in someone. Here’s a couple screenshots and brief descriptions of some of the festivals I’ve either completed or are planning on. Any of these ideas could change before release.
Egg Festival – Everyone gathers in town for a celebration of new life after a long winter. The festival concludes with an egg hunt.
Flower Dance – The townsfolk congregate in a secret meadow to feast and socialize. The young people pair up and participate in a time-honored tradition, the “Flower Dance”. It’s your chance to show a special someone that you care… just hope that you don’t get rejected!
Luau – The summer luau is one of Stardew Valley’s most beloved events. The beach is decked out with tropical adornments and a huge buffet is provided for everyone to enjoy. The Regional Governor makes a special trip each year to see what the valley has to offer… something that Mayor Lewis takes very seriously. The highlight of the luau has to be the potluck soup… a huge, simmering cauldron full of ingredients provided by the community.
Dance of the Midnight Jellies – On a warm summer night every year, the midnight jellies pass through Stardew Valley on their long migration home.
Harvest Fair – A celebration of the harvest season. Artisans, farmers, and craftspeople alike prepare exhibits to show off their hard work from throughout the year. A panel of judges awards medals to those with the most compelling displays.
I’ll leave the rest for you to discover on your own.
Things that still need to be done:
Festivals (50% finished)
Married/Family life
Joja Corporation storyline (I might cut this)
Finalizing game progression (making sure you can acquire all items, prices make sense, etc.)
Tying up loose ends (taking everything that is only finished 95% all the way to 100%)
Polishing
Testing
More polishing!
More testing!
Thanks for reading!
