Stardew Valley (review and overview)

-

 So recently I started to play Stardew valley on Pc, I had originally played it on the xbox. The game really reminded me of a Harvest Moon concept and I think at that point I heard the current Harvest Moon was terrible, so I decided to go with Stardew instead.

    Now in the last few months they actually updated the game, adding a few new NPCS and new areas. But I have falling into a rabbit hole of learning how to use mods. Which has enabled me to add more npcs, add clothing changes per season, adding new areas, new events, new conversations, and a little bit of help here and there. (because like fishing sucks)

    The base of the game is pretty simple, you farm, forage, mine, attack things in the mine, fish, and build relationships with the other characters. You can build things on your farm, like a coop, barn, ponds, and other things. After a while in game you'll also unlock the community center, which as you fill up the needed items you can unlock more aspects of the game. Like a bus that goes to another location, a bridge being fixed to a quarry and more. 

    As you build your relationship with a single character you can actually marry them and have children. (doesn't matter the gender you marry) You have to upgrade your house to a certain level I believe before you can. Which is another aspect you can upgrade some building after you build them. Doing the coops and barns all the way will add an auto feeder which is pretty nice and lets you use your time for other things. (I have a mod added that I can pay someone to collect all the farm resources, later in game you can also get an auto grabber that does most for you)

    Now I don't have many gripes with the game other than the not being able to wack things. Sometimes you have to be very particular with where you hit a rock to mine it. Also pay attention to where your mouse is when attacking other wise you might be facing the wrong way trying to fight, and end up taking more health than if you were facing the right way. Also pay attention to your energy, I end up having to go to bed early a lot because I don't have food to fill it back up or I just do too much in a small amount of time. 

    I love the game and I'm now tasked with marrying all the hot guys and having my own harem as I added a mod to marry multiple spouses XD.

The key was given to me through a program called Keymailer so thank you devs for the key! This version of the game is a demo of the game Taora: Survival. Get it it's the beginning of the game? The Start You start out at a base where the game tells you to grab some tools from storage, right now the only things that are in your base are a storage area, some toilets, and a command center. The storage center is well a small storage area, you later will also be able to make a chest for more organization. The command center is where you can switch between community members and build other stations in the base.  In the storage, you can get a pick axe and an axe. The first task would be to go chop some wood. In the process of that, you'll eventually have to start building the various stations.  Workshop: The...

Pet Shop Simulator  Pet Shop Simulator is well a game where you have a pet shop and run it. It was developed by Games Incubator and published by Games Incubator, and PlayWay S.A. Gameplay This starts off with an empty shop space. You have to start with building a stock room to keep all the goods when the shelves are full. Then make sure you have a checkout and shelves to put items out. The finishing step is getting a rabbit enclosure to sell some pets.   There are a lot of items to choose from, and I noticed that when your reputation goes up there are new items to purchase. Just like the fish enclosure, I didn't have it right away. Speaking of enclosure here are the pets you can sell in your shop; fish, bunnies, mice, turtles, and hampsters There are various kinds of shelving, hanging, small, and large.
