Stardew Valleyfan vanillabullet shared their recreation of the game’s world in isometric view.Stardew Valleynormally uses a top-down or birds-eye point of view, giving the player an overhead look at everything that’s on screen. Isometric perspective allows viewers to see all sides of an image at the same scale. WhileStardew Valleyhas had some isometric POV artworkbefore, this one sticks with the game’s traditional pixel art. The result is impressive and many fans have reacted to the work.
While players are intrigued by the art, several expressed that they also felt confused by it, as they had initially thought it was in 3D. However, on closer inspection, it’s clear that the work is in two dimensions and uses a pixel art style. While the artist hasn’t said anything about their art, they’ve previously shared isometric art ofAnimal Crossing, which is likely to appeal to many of the same fans, given thesimilarities betweenAnimal CrossingandStardew Valley.
Reimagining the World of Stardew Valley
Stardew Valleyis a surprisingly expansive game, and for many fans, that’s enough. However, there are those who haven’t settled for the game’s vanilla experience and have instead created myriads of mods that change things up. Whether it’s creating new portraits for the villagers, adding items, stories, or entirely new people to meet, there are tons ofmods forStardew Valleythat have changed the title in ways from minor to dramatic.
With that being said, given thatStardew Valleyuses pixel art, it wouldn’t be possible to simply change the perspective of the game. Fans would have to essentially rebuild the title from scratch with new art, or change it into a 3D game to accomplish the same effect.Haunted Chocolatierlooks to be using a similar perspective toStardew Valley, as well, so fans will just have to imagine what an isometric take on a ConcernedApe game would be like with art pieces like these.
