Money Gremlin Challenge

I think that's because we'd then get attached to them and avoid selling them if they don't produce. I know that in a different game I had to sacrifice 50 chickens, so I named them 1, 2, 3... and so on, in part to keep track of where I was, and in part to not feel guilty of it. I did have two pampered and properly named show chickens.


It is, if you're is willing to pay Joja 500,000 G per percent that you need waivers for. You might need around 40 million for that, depending on how many stray percent you get from the goals you can complete partially.

Wait.. sacrifice chickens?

Your close. Partially yes, it's to not get attached, but it's also because I don't think huge producers of eggs or any animal product really names their animals cute things.

You can do what with Joja? O.o I've never done the Joja route so I wouldn't know.

In a way. To court one of the special marriage candidates, one had to cause 50 animal deaths. Chickens were the cheapest option. Sure, the animals there had limited life-spans, so you could wait about 10-15 years for enough of them to die of natural causes, but each death dropped everyone's opinion of the farmer significantly so it was better to do it quickly.

I've never gone the Joja route either, but Willy should still give the option to restore the boat so you could go to Ginger Island, and the wizard should still send you to hunt down his magic ink. After that it's just a matter of getting access to the walnut room. The option to buy waivers comes after interacting with the perfection tracker there.

40 mil? I'm calculating 28 mil. 40 mil would be 80% being incompletable. I could be wrong, but that doesn't seem right.

what type of games do you play?

what type of games do you play?

It's Harvest Moon DS. A cutesy little game on the surface though buggy as *bleep*. Haven't managed to marry the Witch Princess yet. Still 3 more harvest festivals that needs the communal soup poisoned before I can see her next event. I wanted to take on the challenge rather than go for one of the easy girls.

Always down to see new challenges appear, sounds like you've really put some thought into it, too.

Good luck to anyone who tries it out!

This challenge is so bleak, lol. It's really not my thing, sorry.

Well, it is a bit INTENDED to be bleak. I usually play in a normal way, so I wanted to make a challenge that forced me to play differently.

 

[RoseNoire]

Most of the time (leaving an option for an exception there), challenges are supposed to be fun to play in one way or another. I was just sharing my personal opinion, which is that bleak challenges are depressing and not fun for me. Being intentionally bleak doesn't make it less depressing for me. Bleak and fun usually don't go hand in hand.
Maybe people feel the same way, so that's maybe a reason people don't seem too keen on trying it out for themselves, or have some reservation.

Well, I mainly just decided to share it in case other people wanted to try it. I was bored and needed to play Stardew differently, so I tried playing in the exact opposite way to make myself think about things I hadn't before. I wasn't mad about your opinion or anything, and yeah, being purely a money obsessed gremlin is pretty dark, but it's different for me. :) (Also, I may or may not actually know what the word bleak means. xD)

I think it’s a great challenge! Very strategic. You have a great business mind. Can’t to try this my next save!

Love to hear about it. :)

I went to check the definition of bleak, just to be sure. (English is not my native language)

Citing from The Free Dictionary, Bleak is defined in our context as "Gloomy and somber, offering little hope or excitement; dismal, exposed and barren, desolate".

It is close to my definition of the word, which is "Rock bottom, depressing, cold, dystopian".

But, you know, it's just my opinion on the challenge. I prefer warmer, cosier, calmer, slow and meaningful playstyles.
