I love this game so far but wow the festivals are some of the most disappointing content I've seen in any game.

Worst issue is that they last ONE DAY, now combine this with another major issue, days are too short, and this makes festivals completely pointless. It's impossible to gather items needed for the festival items in time, double impossible if you want to do the festival quest as well.

Now on the festival quests. What is this reward? I hustle to complete a 2 part quest for the summer festival to be rewarded with...one apple? What is that even? I don't get how that is meant to be fun lol.

Please, extend how long festivals last. They can't just be one of these already too short game days. That's just awful. And please improve the rewards, make it actually worth doing.

Or drop some hints earlier about resources to collect ready. I know people will soon post the resources you need on forums, but it seems inorganic and cheat to look them up, risking spoilers

You had festivals? Mine on spring was just another shop that opens. No event even.

I love them exclusive items for the festivals but I quickly realized the quests were 100% not worth my time. The rewards for them are really bad. Not trying to be super negative as I do enjoy them and it’s cute.

I just wish there was more to it and the quests gave something worth while for the events.

I stopped do the quests and just save up resources and money to hopefully buy what I want

I had the exact same reaction at the apple reward, legitimately started laughing and the cherry on top after saving money to make sure to have enough to buy the exclusive shop festival item… I can’t find for the life of me the materials needed to purchase it and next thing you know it’s 11 and I need to run back to sleep, frustrated that I missed yet an other festival because I could not find the item needed in time. It should be a week festival at the very least.

Yeah, I saw in the almanac about the bunny ears from the spring festival and when it came up I was floored by the random material needed with no prior hint. It was by sheer luck that I had one of the three it required. Was pretty disappointed by that

I agree the festivals really need some work to make the worthwhile and enjoyable. I didn’t even bother as I had seen too close to the in game day the items required which I didn’t have. Very frustrating

I really wish they were more than just a shop tbh. Like maybe a cute mini game or some exclusive foods you can buy, just something that makes being there actually fun and a change of pace from the regular days

I wish you could craft the items in the shop afterwards and not have to wait a whole rotation for them again

3 days festival would be nice, like most festivals in real life: Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I will say, in similar games like Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley also only have 1-day festivals as well as festival-exclusive items, but they usually have a few mini games too, or otherwise a pause in time with special cutscenes and a chance to build a stronger relationship with the other villagers. I wonder if it was left out from this game because the NPCs don’t seem to be the focus, but overall I would also love to see an improvement on festivals. Even if it was like, a fishing minigame, or a competition to see who grew the highest quality crop, or who has the highest friendship with a pet/ farm animal. If the rewards for these were unique clothing items, or special seeds, or a unique decoration, that would be wonderful!

I hate that the festivals are the last day of the month... theres too much to do already trying to get ready for the next season. I missed two festivals already because of this

@astral bolt the trouble is with this festival you’re required to have obscure items to be able to purchase the festival special items so one day isn’t enough to obtain these and we had prior to the day no information as to what these would be. I don’t like looking things like this up so it means I have to wait a whole in year game to try and get them. I agree mini games for the items would also be a fun idea

A time pause on festivals would be great like in Stardew. You enter into a time locked "event" and then once youre ready to go you get to leave the event. And then time resumes (like say it always pops you out at 8pm or something)

Noted! Putting this in our master sheet of game suggestions to deliver to the team. Thank you! hollywave

@wind oyster is there a way that this sheet would be published like the one you did for bugs? Would like to see which make it into internal discusssions :3 Maybe even with a tier system which is constantly updated: Tier 1) Idea collected and will be discussed with the team. Tier 2) Declined requests (maybe with a short statement on why) Tier 3) Accepeted request Tier 3a) Currently working on. Tier 3b) Done.
