Making Agendas Manageable
Stardew Valley is an expansive game, and finding enough time during in-game days is nearly impossible. Whether the day’s plan is to fish, cook, harvest, or mine, working efficiently is absolutely essential. The hours pass like seconds in Pelican Town, especially when playing on a portable device like a laptop or Nintendo Switch. After a few blissful, relaxing moments of working along to Stardew’s pleasant tunes, the day is already over. Sometimes, especially for perfectionists, working at an appropriate pace seems impossible.
However, Stardew Valley multiplayer will change this paradigm. Now, through both LAN and online, players will cooperatively manage a farm. Duties can be delegated, momentous tasks can be shared, and hopefully, an incredible farm will be more obtainable than ever. The act of coordination, on its own, will become a new challenge for players to tackle cooperatively. Should everyone mine at the same time to get through the floors faster? Should everyone be separately doing different tasks? Who is going to pick up the newly finished Golden Pickaxe before Clint’s store closes?
