Alright people, Stardew Valley simply wasn’t nice sufficient. The animals are cute, the spouses are cute, and even the monsters are cute. But you do must kill the monsters and that’s decidedly not cute. You’ve received to whack them with more and more edgy swords as you dive deeper into the mines beneath the mountain. Who are you to return into the monsters’ territory and smack them with a Lava Katana, hmm? A Stardew Valley modder is taking out all of the violence beneath pastoral Pelican Town with Pacifist Valley.
Creator Aedenthorn says that Pacifist Valley “replaces all weapons with hearts, feathers, stuffed animals, flowers, and other non-violent love devices.” I’ll simply come proper out and say that “love devices” is an fascinating alternative of phrases however I received’t be the choose of what you do with the monsters after you’ve hugged them. We do like smooching monsters spherical these elements, in spite of everything.
Instead of dying, cave monsters now fall in love along with your farmer. They do nonetheless drop loot and I refuse to look at what slime balls are if not the corpse of a slime. Attacking animations have been changed with kissing and coronary heart emotes. Aedenthorn even changed textual content in game that referenced killing monsters the place they had been in a position. Quests and merchandise descriptions have been altered to replicate the brand new cuddling, although they are saying it’s attainable they missed some. “I’m happy to patch it if you find residual deadliness in the game,” they are saying. Pacifist Valley doesn’t but take away killing fish and ocean life (through fishing) the creator says, nevertheless it seems like which may be deliberate for the long run as nicely.
Stardew Valley was already one of the vital peaceful gardening games in response to Brendan. Stick Stardew in a glass of vinegar as a result of now it’s much more peaceable than earlier than. I’m ending on the egg meme reference as a result of it’s a farming game and that makes it okay.
