Crafting materials you can't gather from the world are available to purchase in the general store, as well as furniture, wallpaper, flooring, and home accessories. These villagers will have their own homes that the player can customise.

The gardening in Hokko Life sounds like it will have a much smaller scope and a slower rhythm, a welcome feature for those who find Stardew's farming a little intense. 'I'm keen to give the vegetables more of a role in the game too, so I'll be playing around with some ideas for how they can be more interesting for players from a gameplay perspective.'Īs much as I love Stardew Valley, there's a pressure with its bulk production and exhaustion meter that puts me in a certain mindset. 'You'll be growing resources for crafting, as well as vegetables that can be sold as a means of raising cash for your village,' Tatnell says. Hokko Life is still in its early stages of development, but Tatnell has a good idea about what he would like to do with its gardening system. Gathering resources will involve mining, chopping down trees, and growing produce. 'This editing ability can be used on existing items in the world too, or you can download creations from the community into your town and tweak it into something more you.' 'There's a whole bunch of different shapes and special pieces you can use to put your own creative stamp onto everything you make,' Tatnell says. There's a carpenter who will have new crafting recipes, paintbrushes, and 3D designs for you to purchase. It sounds like a combination of My Time at Portia and Minecraft, where you first gather resources and then decide if you want to craft from a blueprint or start completely from scratch.

The workshop editor will let you combine pieces of furniture and paints together, inviting players to be more creative.
