Stardew Valley

How well does Stardew Valley work on android? I thought about buying the port but it feels like there'd be trouble with things like combat. Which I would be perfectly happy to skip except that you have to go get ores and stuff.

I personally don't like how it plays in the phone. But you can always use a controller, I play with a PS 4 controller paired to my phone with no issues.

Well, I suppose that might work if I was playing in bed, but I also thought of using it to play when I'm not home in general. A PS controller wouldn't be of much help in that situation.

But still, that answers my question, more or less. What about it doesn't work? Fine control so you don't blow up your own fields? Movement? Combat kinda sucking?

Ok, I tried the native controls as I sincerely didn't try them that much. There is the point and click controls a la Age of empire where you point where you want the character where to go, or where to use the tool. As for combat there are two options, the point and attack, where ypu point the monster and the character go to attack, or the aouto attack where the character attacs automatically when a monster get close, only having to worry about your position.

The other is the in game joystick, that isn't as bad as I thought.

In conclusion, I would say the controls aren't that bad, bit it would take a lot of tike to get used, and managing the crops would be more tedious and take more time that with a normal control. The fighting had berter results with the in game joystick, but got hit more often than whit a control.

Chocolate!

I'm not sold on the 'haunted' part yet, but chocolate!

Still want that 1.5 mobile update.

Not so sure what makes this "haunted". Guess we'll find out.

Pure conjecture: it looks like there are ghosts running the actual chocolate shop as npcs. It appears you go through a magic doorway to gather ingredients. Haunted gateway magic? What interests me is that I don't see an energy bar anywhere. Maybe more action rpg bent on this one?

I want a ghost staff. The chocolate is just icing on the cake of having ghosts work for you.

To be honest, I'd be fine without the energy bar, it felt a bit too restrictive in Stardew, and a bit redundant since there already was a day/night cycle.

Not to mention that the facility that helps you regenerate energy over time is only available a whole season after you need it most, by then you'll have plenty of food supplies to refill it.

To those who want to read more about the chocolatier game and why its haunted :'D

Hey, I very recently started playing this game. Can someone please tell me out to add the bait to the rod in the Switch version? Because I swear to God I'm doing what the internet instructions tell me to and it's not fucking working.

If you just started, are you still on the basic rod? It can't use bait.

No I already have the fiberglass rod. Look, I had some time off and just... sank most of it into this game ok.

You just drag and drop the bait onto the fishing rod. That's it.

I believe you press the Y button when you have the bait selected.

Our use the right stick to move mouse cursor and pretend you're playing sc on pc

Honest Game Trailers did a video about Stardew Valley:

1.6 content, no release date at the moment.

Cool, another excuse to play Stardew again suits me just fine. Played Sun Haven recently and it's not bad, but it's no Stardew.

Very cool, and unlike the last update, it seems like a general one, so a good reason to play from the start this time.

I have an unfinished save file using the "multiplayer" farm for the first time. I might start that particular file over (by unfinished, I mean I haven't even gotten close to finishing two years).

Darn, still no Jodi romance.
