If 1.5 only added one new feature, what would you want it to be?

[Blue_Three]

Probably totally out of the blue, but I want a bicycle to ride around on. Now that would be fun... and fit with the game's atmosphere.

i think some of yall mentioned this, but the ability to hire farm hands and on that note maybe the farm hands you hire could be villagers or some new people who could be love interests? they could be from the city or smth and some joja content could be sprinkled into their story/heart events to give us more of that adventure capitalist realness.

(also a small thing — I don’t know if there is a way (maybe I’ve just missed it lol) but a way to un-hoe land with an axe or the hoe or something like that just because it drives me crazy when I accidentally hoe a little square of land and I have to wait a few days for it to un-hoe itself. )

You can, actually! If you go over to hoed land with your pickaxe, it will revert back to unmarked land.

I know it's been mentioned a couple of times already but having new villagers move in that we can meet and become friends with would be cool. So would having some more dialogue lines that acknowledge that the farmer is married cause it almost never gets brought up again. To add to that, if there isn't already, maybe dialogue about the farmer getting married in the days leading up to the wedding.

I'd like a dehydrator. Put produce in and receive a bagged item. You could make dried peaches and apricots, banana chips, cranberry snacks, dried tomatoes, raisins, dried mushrooms, garlic powder, all the things that people like to eat and cook with and will pay extra for.

I'd also like a new mushroom: a bolete. Boletes can be found all over the world and are delicious. Dry them and you have porcini, an expensive and tasty cooking mushroom.

did anyone reply? use the pickaxe.

Maybe some News-Channel on the TV, so far there is a war happening and there some events that are knows beyond the valley. I would like to see the News and some people in town give their opinon maybe. Another example, when you win the beautyfull farm thing a camera team or something comes to visit? Also I support the bathroom thing for the farm :D
Also I noticed Jodi has only a single bed... a double would make more sense.

Personally what I want most is a way to slow time in the game and make the days last longer. I know this isn’t a feature for everyone but that’s why it would be optional, and I also know that there are concerns about it letting players finish the game early but that’s why I think it would make for a great end game only feature. For example, a hard to get item you can only get after you finish the Community Center or Joja’s, like the Gold Clock.

I know that tons of players would love a feature like this, myself included :) And there are so many players who have stopped playing who would come back for this, I have taken long breaks because of the fast days too. It would just go a very long way to making the game more relaxing and immersive for many of us ^^ Taking the time to go to the bathhouse, explore, enjoy the scenery, or role play is skipped so much because of how fast time flies, and although it’s good for certain play styles it’s not for others. And a lot of us, like me, play on console where we can’t use mods (though maybe someday), and a lot people understandably aren’t comfortable using mods.

I also know that some people think it would be hard to implement but I really don’t think it would be. I think a couple good examples are games like the newest Harvest Moon which is Trio of Towns, and Zelda Majora’s Mask. If you slow time in those games it doesn’t affect the villagers’ schedules, things still happen at the same time and nothing is in slow motion or anything. And in Trio of Towns where you can slow time by eating certain meals, you can’t do so until very far in the game so it doesn’t seem like you’re handicapping yourself by not using it, and you won’t finish the game any quicker then intended, which are some problems with it being there outside of endgame.

I think another clock that the wizard sells would be a great idea, though I don’t think it should cost more then maybe 1 or 2 million. That’s because a good amount of the players who would like this feature don’t play for high profits, and forcing them to would ruin the experience which is never good and defeats the purpose. Instead I think it could cost a lot of rare items in addition to the gold, like iridium bars, diamonds, and maybe a prismatic shard. Maybe it can be a rainbow or purple clock :) I also think it’s important to be able to turn it on or off, it can always wait until the next day loads to adjust.

My second choice for a feature to add would have been being able to take your spouse for a walk. They could follow you around, similar to how Pikachu does in Pokémon Yellow, and have dialogue for different areas. And maybe a furniture item, like a coat or hat rack for example, could be used to initiate the walk. I think that this alongside the new movie theater would improve the end game and marriage immensely, but without a feature to slow time I wouldn’t really be able to enjoy it. So as much as I want this I had to pick slowing time ^^ Thanks for reading!

Oh man yes, being able to slow down the day lengths would be wonderful, even if only by a few extra minutes. Though I'm not sure I'd want it to be toggled, I don't know. I could always have 2 games running, one normal and one with lengthened days.

oh yeah lol ppl replied i now know the secret to mis-hoed land

Outdoor furniture
Outdoor furniture such as chairs or benches
Outdoor furniture such as chairs or benches you can sit on

plz...

I also noted this in game suggestions and is something I would love to do. Just to sit at the edge of the water, or on a bench & furniture, dangle my feet off the docks or river side while fishing (or not!). Heck, even sit on the porch with feet dangling over the side. I frequently find myself standing in places where it's so relaxing to stop and listen to the ambient bg (breeze, wind chimes, rain) but would really get into it if I could just sit.

Plus, if the pet comes up while you sit, they may hang out next to the player.

I think that part of what makes this game great is the story. We can get so embraced by it, that's easy to forget one guy wrote down what's going on, creating the perfect sceneries, characters, and situations. Everything else within the game departs from its story. So my main wish would have to be a development for it, almost as if a Stardew Valley Part II. I'd love to see where it'd go if some things could age, change, expand. Like, for example, being able to swim to another part of the Valley or getting further into the forest where the dance Festival is held, or even getting to know more about the current characters. So I'd vote for "more story". (Idk if that makes sense to you people).

 

[tommybob]

I really want some cross-platform multiplayer, I want to play with you lovely bunch on consoles!

 

[Sleepybird]

I'm sure 1.5 will have at least two or maybe even three new features in it. But if it was only going to have one, and you got to decide, what would you add to the game?

More quests/events in the game. It could range from anything. A quest for the witch. Or to be Cupid for the other marriage candidates. It's known Clint likes Emily, Harvey likes Maru and so forth but it's a choice if you want to advance their relationship as in to give advice to him/her to further their relationship. Or to set up a date. An option to fix the board where the flower dance is held like the beach.

 

[Hannah's World]

I agree with NovaPsychic's suggestion of Chapter/Part 2. It's a big wish but I would like to know the answer the many mysteries remaining in the story line and an addition to the Community Center quest (perhaps opening up more areas around town, farmland or new NPC/love interests).

que as crianças possam crescer e nos seguir pela cidade e que eles possam aparecer nos festivais junto com o marido / esposa do personagem seria muito legal e que os vizinhos também falavam sobre as crianças e o marido / mulher como se perguntassem se eles estão bem .

I would like a school for our kids in the game, maybe watch they to grown-up, or to help them in some way, and for our wife to have more dialogues or maybe Zuzu town to visit?

A quest for the witch.

yeES i want to know her story. like why did she and the wizard divorce and why was her first instinct to fly around the country side and curse my chicken eggs. i just want to be her friend and possibly her wingperson and we can go for nights in the city for clubbing n stuff. also i just want to know why she has a shrine in her house that turns kids into doves.

You clean up the beach where Shane thinks to jump off (woah) and an option to fix the board where the flower dance is held like the beach.

Spoiler note: in the new update, the trash situation has a resolution already.
