Hi all,
I would like to start a discussion about the upcoming farming feature in the game. I played a lot of stardew valley and started again because I am hyped that farming will be also in wicked.
We do not know much what is planned for this but I like to speculate and discuss some nice features which I would love to see in wicked too.
So what I love in stardew and I would also love to see in wicked:
- Progression system. This is the number one system which keeps me going in stardew. Its Additive to always have ways to progress and upgrade. watering can, shovel, backpack, sprinklers etc. Shovel and backpack even already exists in wicked and can be upgraded. Just connect it to the farming feature and you are done.
- Deeply connedted to point 1 is the market option. In stardew it is very important to sell your farmed Stoff for money and buy new seeds, fishing rods etc to progress. Give us that option also in wicked.
- Music/ ambient sounds. This is also very important in my opinion for games like stardew. The music or sounds lighten your mood and calm you down.
- Nice visuals. I think here wicked does outperform each and every other faming game. No change needed.
- Area without enemies. In farming games i want to chill and enemies do not fit that theme. Just give us an area which looks extremely nice without enemies where we can fish and harvest ore, wood and wild plants. Not only a small plot of soil in our garden.
- Fishing minigame. Maybe render the fishing minigame a little more complex for the farming. Otherwise it could become boring pretty quickly.
- Connection to the rest of the game. Housing, town improvements, ichor system and item crafting should be intertwined with farming. When I farm my potatoes and sell them I want to be able to improve my shovel, backpack and even other gear. So give us plague ichor and embers for our farmed potatoes via i.e. market options.
- RNG. A little spice at the end. I like in stardew for example the legendary fish mechanic or the very high grade vegetable option. Sometimes you are lucke and get really good harvests or fish. I think in wicked we already have that when fishing. We sometimes get really nice embers or gems. Maybe there is also an option for the plants.
Thats what comes to my mind when playing stardew and thinking of wicked. What do you guys think? I am really looking forward to this chill option in an otherwise sometimes stressful game.
