Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

what?

Hidden plot?

Stardew Valley, is there a hidden plot?

Grandpa Cyber, isn’t he already dead a long time ago?

Could it be possible that he has returned to his soul?

Really, what a ghost!

Wang Laoju was so curious that she didn't care about exploring the mines and quit the game directly. Under the guidance of water friends, she clicked on the video posted by a new anchor in the game area [Wuwo].

[What will happen if you sleep for three years in Stardew Valley? 】

There is something in this title. Who would do this on the first day of the game’s release?

Wang Laoju clicked on the video.

[Hello, friends, hello everyone, I am selfless. 】

[After the release of Stardew Valley, when I finished understanding the gameplay and game mechanics. 】

[When I learned that only by sleeping can I save and quickly enter the next day. 】

[I couldn’t help but have an idea in my mind——]

[What will happen if I keep sleeping in Stardew Valley and jump through time quickly? 】

[Sure enough, on the first day of spring in the third year, something really happened. 】

[And this incident may also reveal why the old thief wrote that message from the developer - Cyber ​​Cultivation has boundless power. 】

[Without further ado, let’s watch the video. 】

When Wang Laoju saw this, his expression suddenly changed. He said in disbelief:

"What? This game can only be saved while sleeping? Can't it be saved normally?"

He just quit the game just to see Grandpa Cyber's hidden story. Isn't this a fool's errand?

With the last bit of luck in mind, he looked at the screen and asked: "Brothers, is this true or false? Could the operation I just performed..."

Before Wang Laoju finished speaking, the barrage in the live broadcast room directly filled the screen.

"It goes without saying, Lao Ju, please forgive me!"

"As brothers, in my heart, if something happens, I can't get through on the phone. I don't know about this..."

"Lao Ju, don't say this in too detail, just understand it yourself."

"Okay, you'll have to pay for this sooner or later..."

"Fuck!" When Wang Laoju saw so many affirmative replies, his mentality collapsed on the spot. After carefully calming down, he said:

"Forget it, fortunately it won't have much impact. Please take me as a warning and don't make such low-level mistakes."

After speaking, Wang Laoju clicked the mouse and continued watching the video.

In the video, Anatta keeps walking back and forth next to the bed.

Game time is a crazy challenge, and it’s soon the first day of spring in the third year.

In the pitch-black void, Grandpa Cyber, wearing a Santa hat and pajamas, swayed in front of him from the void in the form of Ah Piao.

Grandpa Seb said in a kind tone: "My dear child... we haven't spoken for many years. You were still a child at that time, do you remember?"

Water friend: "!!!"

Lao Ju: "!!!"

Grandpa Cyber's super evolution?

The ultimate form of Cyberpunk?

No...how many years have it been since you died?

Wouldn't it be abnormal if you said this?

Grandpa continued: "Look how much you have grown up now! Although you may have forgotten me, I have always been here."

See for yourself, is this scary?

Co-authoring this old house or a haunted house?

Grandpa seemed to feel the player's complaints and continued: "Although... my body has left this world, my heart will always stay in Stardew Valley."

"It's been two years since you came here. The farm hasn't changed much in the past few years...but it doesn't matter."

"As long as you enjoy your new life, that means the most to me. The future of the farm is in your hands."

"farewell!"

No, old thief...are you going to kill me?

Grandpa Cyber ​​beats his unfulfilled children and grandchildren repeatedly?

You know how to play games!

While Wang Laoju and a group of water friends were still immersed in the plot.

Wu-I opened his mouth and said——

[Everyone, if the plot ends here, it wouldn’t be called a hidden plot, but the problem is that it’s not over yet. 】

[When the player has been sleeping for three years, the farm has long been covered with dense trees, and villagers from Pelican Town will talk to you one after another. 】

[Of course, you can also read various letters from the past three years in your mailbox and learn some activity information. 】

[And when we find Grandpa’s shrine on our farm, we will see a note. Take my note as an example, the above-]

[No self, when you enter the third year, I will come back - Grandpa]

[After some research on my part, this sentence means that grandpa will come back on the first day of spring of the third year to evaluate our performance in the previous two years. 】

[Grandpa’s evaluation is directly related to the number of candles lit around the shrine, and the number of candles depends entirely on the goals the player has achieved in the previous two years. 】

[Of course, after some subsequent exploration, I discovered that after Grandpa’s evaluation, players can also summon Grandpa to re-evaluate by placing diamonds in Grandpa’s shrine. 】

[However, I am still exploring this scoring standard, but try to complete tasks in the first two years, make friends with villagers, complete illustrations, earn money and other operations, which can allow us to light more candles. 】

[At this point, it becomes clear that grandpa’s three-year agreement is the most hidden main mission of this game. 】

[And if we want to complete this task, we must cherish every minute and every second in the first two years, work hard to earn gold coins, and snowball. 】

[During this process, I tried to go through the early plot and found that if the player wants to complete the three-year agreement with his grandfather, there are actually two ways to go. 】

[The first way, players take the community sacrifice route to meet the collection requirements of the Junimo Scroll, and then they can repair the community center step by step. 】

[The second way is for players to purchase JOJA Supermarket membership and take the JOJA membership route. 】

[Of course, the difference between the JOJA membership route and the community sacrifice route is that the JOJA membership route does not require a large number of collectibles, but only requires the player to have enough gold coins. 】

[Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Players can choose according to their own preferences. 】

[Okay, having said that, my first Stardew Valley video is coming to an end here. Players who like my videos, don’t forget to pay more attention. See you next time. 】

Good guy!

I'm a good guy!

The hidden plot of Grandpa Cyber!

Grandpa Cyber’s scoring mechanism!

Two routes to the ultimate mission!

This video is simply full of useful information!

Players will realize after watching this video that I was too young to watch Stardew Valley!

On the surface, Stardew Valley is a casual farming and management game with a high degree of freedom. Players can do whatever they want and stop doing whatever they don’t want to do.
