Agriculture is probably the last thing on Earth that you would expect a game to be made. And yet Farmville has been one of the biggest games to offer Facebook. But decades before Farmville, there was Harvest Moon of the rising sun country, which in turn inspired many independent game developers to try their luck in growing virtual trees generating real income. That's how was born the unexpected success of Stardew Valley, which will soon be available on a smartphone near you.
There is an addiction in the almost repetitive game of simulators such as Stardew Valley. It's like the Sims, but you grow plants in addition to growing men. Like Sim City on a smaller scale, it's a test of intelligent resource management and business acumen. All in a fun way. That Stardew Valley is an independent success is not really an issue. But does he have what it takes to survive in a future of mobile-centric gaming?
This is the test that the game will undergo with the new versions of the game for iOS and, very soon, for Android. It's not really a new version but almost direct ports. This is the complete game that has just been optimized for touch controls. Players on all supported platforms benefit from the same features. Well, except for the multiplayer mode, which is only available for Windows.
Stardew Valley, however, does one thing better than other games with mobile ports. You can actually transfer your backup data from one platform to another. At least those who do not use mods. IOS backup data will be handled via iTunes. We can only assume that Android will use Google Play services.
Stardew Valley will be launched on iOS on October 24 for $ 7.99. No hidden costs, no in-app purchases. The complete game without cuts (but without mods or multiplayer either). The developer promised that, since the porting was entrusted to another team, it would have no impact on the development of the multiplayer feature for the consoles.
