Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer gets a passive-aggressive message from Haley after marrying Alex in their latest playthrough. With over 35 million copies sold, it’s no secret thatStardew Valleyis one of the biggest indie success stories of all time. Made by Eric Barone,Stardew Valleyis a labor of love and a homage to classics such asHarvest Moon. Despite being over eight years old, players still enjoy their time in Pelican Town, as the game has received frequent updates over the years.
Themost recentStardew Valleypatchadded new interactions with spouses outside dialogue, a way to obtain lost items, and even the ability to place legendary fishes inside a fishpond. While the official updates have greatly expanded on the base game,Stardew Valleyhas a strong modding community as well. From graphical overhauls to new NPCs,Stardew Valleyallows players to customize their experience in whichever way suits them best.
A fan who goes by Chicken-go-bawk shared a rather bizarre moment that her farmer shared with Haley, who happens to be one of themain villagers inStardew Valley. During the encounter, Haley makes a blunt comment to the farmer that Alex isn’t interested in her, despite the farmer marrying Alex and having two kids with him. Given that Haley is paired off with Alex by default, this line of dialogue is likely meant to imply that Haley is jealous or bitter that Alex is romantically interested in the farmer. SomeStardew Valleyplayers were wondering if the line came from a mod, and it didn’t take long for Chicken-go-bawk to confirm it.
Stardew Valley Mod Expands NPC Interactions
The culprit behind Haley’s bizarre encounter is most likelyCanon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion, which adds over four thousand lines of dialogue across allNPCs inStardew Valley. In fact, Haley isn’t the only romanceable villager who can get jealous, as Alex makes a similar comment if the farmer marries Haley. The mod even expands on dialogue seen during Pelican Town’s many festivals, as the base game only has unique lines for the first two years.
WhileStardew Valleyhas enjoyed extensive post-launch support from Eric Barone, the developer has confirmed that he is backworking on the Haunted Chocolatier, which is both a spiritual successor toStardew Valleyand allegedly a take on Rune Factory as well. No release date is listed for the Haunted Chocolatier as yet, and given Barone’s comment that he probably announced the project too early,Stardew Valleyfans shouldn’t expect it to arrive any time soon.
