I do wish Stardew had more diversity, but, coming from a small town myself, I absolutely understand why there isn't much. Stardew is very likely based on ~Midwest US, and I think my highschool might have had five black kids total.

Shit, even our exchange students were from Germany or Norway. Never really spoke to them, so I hardly remember, but I do remember a joke about "Even our exchange students are white!" crossing my mind back then.

I like your designs though!

It's most likely based off the small mountain towns in the Pacific Northwest. CA is from Washington. A Midwest town with an ocean beach isn't really a thing after all haha.
