I love seeing how games change and evolve over time. Stardew Valley was in development for over 5 years, so naturally it ended up being a completely different game than it started as. I’ve gathered every single piece of cut content and unused assets that I could find around the internet, hopefully you see something you’ve never known before!

Sections:
0:00 – Intro
0:20 – Early Characters and Art Style
2:08 – Hidden Dialogue
4:52 – Details from CA’s Blog
7:04 – Renamed Characters
7:21 – Cut Combat Content
8:50 – Mysterious Sprites
9:51 – Unused Assets added in Updates
10:54 – Outro

  1. A few corrections offered by the lovely, lovely commenters:

    – 2 of these assets are in the game, the answering machine is used when you call a store when it’s closed, and the weird dancing egg thing is in Leah’s art exhibit!
    – The image of Robin angry on the phone is actually Leah! It’s still unused, as it’s an old design of her that looks a bit more like Robin.
    – The sprites at 9:35 are used in Krobus’ 14 heart cutscene. I didn’t even know he had a 14 heart cutscene lol

  2. Your 6:59 time stamp is if you get to Leah's art show. It's one of the automaton statues she makes. Unless that is the result of one of the few mods I have.

  3. i wonder if the cursed prairie king arcade system would like put you inside of the game and you'd have to fight the enemies off with your weapons like in the mines

  4. Fun fact, in the very end at the summit, the characters are in alphabetical order except Alex. He's in the place he would be if his name was Josh

  5. Is there anymore info about personal luck? I just started a new play through and I feel like my luck is insane. It’s the first week of summer and before even upgrading any tools I’ve reached floor 65 of the mines, and I found and ancient seed in my first week of spring

  6. You clearly never saw any of leah's heart scenes cuz:Firstly that's not Robin on the phone it's leah and that thing that says you might encounter it if you play your cards right is just another sculpture from leah's exposition in the town
