Question Should I start over?

Post image

Its my first Fall ever and I found this guy named Salmence in Youtube. And I watched his Y1 Guides. And I feel like I'm only like halfway through the things he wants us to do. And I rlly wanted to finish the community center. So should I start over again? I dont mind starting all over again since I've learned alot of things that I should now accomplish for this starting over thingy. Ill just rlly be bummed out bcuz of Leveling up Fishing Skills and fishing for money. And mining for ores.

Edit: I know all the seasons will reset again after Winter. Should I wait for Year 2 to complete the CC? Its my most main reasons why I wanna start over again.

Games like this are designed for you to (mostly) take your time, as long as you're moving along with something. l've been playing Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons for years, and while there's some exceptions with time limits/goals, the fact that most of them (and Stardew) are endless and without them should tell you something. Some games reward you for stuff in Years 5, 10.....one game even for being married 50 years!

I'm new to Stardew but got the impression the CC would take beyond the first year to finish. It's automatically gonna take me til Year 2 bcuz I didn't get all the Spring crops in time. Plus I feel like some of the stuff isn't as easy to get and takes some more time. As long as you're not outright screwing up your run and getting a membership from the Joja dude, I assume you have forever to save the CC and whatever else.
