if there was a sdv movie

[WHYllama]

if concernedape made a stardew valley movie what would you want it to be about?
who would the main characters be?

Theres so many options! We could have Krobus's backstory - that would be a lot of fun. Or Leah's story - moving to the forest to chase her dreams as an artist. Or for a very different tone, the Wizard, his break up with the witch, and his new farmer protege.

agreed
feel like their are too many things for a single movie to work

Honestly I think a series of short animated films would suit the game much better, and fit the game as it is, where we see snippets of characters.

I'd imagine them to be something like 3-7 minutes and it just follows a single character, either as they go about their day and we learn more about their habits, or it could be a backstory/their life prior to the valley, etc.

I think it'd be a really nice way for CA to give some more in-depth character building and canon lore without bloating the game, and it allows him to more subtly add onto what we already know

i think for a movie, i'd enjoy a classic farmer story, but the farmer would have to be a specific character (kind of like what the animal crossing movie did-- and yes, there is an animal crossing movie, and it's super charming i really love it)

i think a slow paced movie kinda like my neighbor totoro would really fit stardew, so it's someone adjusting moving in and maybe they get close to a few characters, maybe the climax of the movie would be something like the fall festival where it's a really big fair and there's lots of people around

i'm sure people would want to see their favorites so that's where some apprehension comes in, but i think there are opportunities for many stories and really for a movie to be done right, they can't focus on all 12 bachelor/ettes and a handful of other villagers

Only Yesterday by Studio Ghibli is basically how I imagine a Stardew Valley movie would be. Slow paced, with lots of flashbacks aka cutscenes and some farming/gardening in between.

i very much agree

I think there would be a lot of potential to poke a little bit of fun at the 'video game logic' in a movie, like watching the farmer drink a jar of mayo, or not having room to put a geode in your pocket but still being able to collect 937 stones.

that would be funny

Probably a story about how the farmer comes to Stardew Valley and stops the evil Joja corporation from taking over by bringing the community centre to life. It's a well-worn trope but it's true to the story (you could have most of the festivals as set-piece scenes)
Main characters: Farmer, Lewis, Morris, Love interest (best fit lore-wise IMO would be Abigail/Penny).

And absolutely include Abigail munching on an amethyst crystal
