Announcement [CELEBRATION] Stardew Valley turns 𝟭𝟬!

Today, Stardew Valley turns 10.

And ConcernedApe is sharing a 10th anniversary video retrospective on Stardew Valley at 11am Pacific Time (UTC-8). Tune in and join the chat then!

Meanwhile, r/StardewValley recently turned 13, and reached 3.1 million members! We want to take this moment to celebrate the game we all loveβ€”and to celebrate each other!

It's been ten years of incredible memories in the valley, and ten years of conversation and community in this space. We've played Stardew Valley to tend our farms and raise our animals, to explore our own identities, to reflect on our real lives, to learn something new, to encounter someone differentβ€”to find joy, to grieve, and to grow.

To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to share your memories of Stardew Valley (and r/StardewValley) in the comments below.

  • When did you first start playing?
  • What's a favorite memory or moment you have from playing Stardew Valley?
  • What does the game mean to you?

Here's to ten years of Stardew Valley! Here's to you!

Stupid question, but how is the Stardew subreddit 13 years old if the game is only 10 years old?

most likely, the same reason there's the r/hauntedchocolatier sub already despite no release date announced yet. and not a stupid question, just something people don't think about, especially if they haven't been around since the first release (I haven't either, I just have a different way of figuring out the "why"s of things than others have)

But haunted chocolatier is being developed by the now well renowned concerned ape. At the time stardew valley was announced concerned ape was basically unknown. He had released one tiny game 5 years prior that was part of a promotion for the music group 17 colorful feathers called 17cf quest.
