New game plus mode?

[Eemeena]

Maybe there should be a new game plus mode that's single player only with the exception of split screen. There should be the option of making the game harder. Or easier with cheats such as the ability to give as many gifts you like in one day to raise their friendship high. The ability to freeze and fast forward and rewind time. The ability to make it so you have infinite stamina and health. Also the ability to grow your crops instantly.

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Okay, some of the ideas you have here under the "new game+" umbrella... I can get behind them. Things like being able to have a slider for "easier > normal > harder" of some sort (maybe in the advanced settings when starting the game), and the ability to fast forward time (freezing time is called "pausing") would be interesting.

...but some of them? The ability to give infinite gifts, rewinding time, infinite hp/energy, insta-grow crops? I think that belongs in the realm of mods.

Now, how do you determine when you can "new game+", though? How do you "win" at Stardew Valley? There's no real end of the game, which is usually how "new game+" mechanics work. The closest I can think that the game has at this point is "perfection". So, are you thinking something like that, where if you have 100% perfection in one of your saves you can "new game+"?
