Stardew Valleyis usually a game where players can do whatever they want without worrying about falling behind or missing deadlines. Whether their goal is to quickly make as much money as possible or to just farm their crops in peace,Stardew Valleywas built for that by solo developer ConcernedApe. However,a few in-game activities will gain the negative attention of ConcernedApeand other key figures in the game.
SinceStardew Valleyis famously a positive game, having a way to bring any negativity from the developer himself makes for a veryinteresting Easter Egg. However,any admonishment from ConcernedApe comes with a sly wink, so players can rest assured that the developer only wants players to know he’s aware of their nefarious activities.
Attempting To Use Cheats Gets A Response From ConcernedApe
No Free Gold, But A Fun Message From The Developer
By utilizing the in-game chat box, players can enter a few different types of commands that give them helpful information about their game, like “/users” to show every player connected to the current farm or “/color” to change the color of the chat. If any cheekier players attempt to use the chat box to cheat, like by entering “/cheat”, “/money”, “/freegold”, orThe Simsclassic “/rosebud”, they’ll geta simple message from ConcernedApe that says “Nice try…”. However, there’s more than one way to get ConcernedApe’s attention from in-game cheats.
Other NPCs Can Also Respond (Including Your Grandpa)
Disappointment All The Way From The Afterlife
Trying to abuse the chat box isn’t the only way to get a response from ConcernedApe, as players can also earn an admonishment from the developer and other notable in-game characters byusing slightly more complicated cheats at the Shrine of Illusions. This shrine is located in the basement of the Wizard’s Tower, which is only accessible after earning at leastfour hearts of friendship with the Wizard. Players can use the Shrine of Illusions to change their appearance and name since renaming has always been afeature inStardew Valley.
Will Stardew Valley Get Another Big Update After 1.6?
As Stardew Valley continues to receive support, over eight years since it was first released, can players expect another major update like 1.6?
Since there is a cheat where naming a new Farmer after an item code will spawn those items under certain circumstances,any player that tries to rename themselves an item code will be shamedby either ConcernedApe, Mr. Qi, or even their disappointed Grandpa. Mr. Qi will say, “Easy [Item Name], huh? I’m disappointed, kid. I thought you wanted to beat this game fair and square?”.
The player’s grandpa will react to the cheat with “*Grandpa is shaking his head… ‘I built this farm the old fashioned way, not with unlimited [item name]…”.ConcernedApe is the least disappointed in the player, as his response states, “ConcernedApe is mad that you’re cheating…”followed by the message, “I’m not actually mad… have fun.”Despite his message, ConcernedApe wants players to always have fun inStardew Valley.
