THAT SUBMARINE JOKE CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD 💀
4:50
Enginer gaming
Nooo salmence nooooo
I guess you had an “explosive” reaction
@@HenrayPatter 💀💀💀
In coral island, there's a shop near the mines where you can buy items from the shopkeeper, a concerned monkey
Considering that whole game is just "let me copy your homework but I'll change it just a little so teacher doesn't think I cheated", citing its source is the least it could do.
@@SimuLordlet be real here Stardew Valley also did the same thing with the Harvest Moon franchise.
@@rubya.p4437 and i oop-
@@rubya.p4437 Stardew 1.0 is basically Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. But Stardew 1.5 is very much its own thing, and I'm interested to see if Coral Island does that same trick when it's out of Early Access and fully develops the under-the-sea gameplay that right now is all promise and no delivery. There's the seed of a great game now, but as of July 22, 2023 it looks purely like a cash-in-on-a-trend.
Another tick in Stardew's column is that by the time it came out, it'd been 13 years since FOMT came out on the GBA.
It's so hard to make an farm game without being compared to Stardev Valley and we all know he used Harvest Moon as the base and put everything in he missed at HM (I mean that's we he said in an interview) and I love Coral Island too. I really hope at the next update in August we get more underwater action and it change something so it's his own game. Because they copied everything - from the names to the crafting items. Kinda disappointing.
Its crazy how a game made by one person became so popular that it is referenced in other media.
Have you heard of Five Nights at Freddy's? UnderTale? DokiDoki Literature Club? Tetris? CaveStory? Plenty of outstanding games were made by one person
@@velvetbutterfly naahhh don't throw tetris in there, it's incomparable with sv at any level, except popularity
@@shauas4224 it's still made by one person and changed the gaming world forever
@@velvetbutterflyI don’t think Dan Salvado drew everything in DDLC, but idk, he could be some speed demon artist
I don't think something has to be popular to be referenced somewhere, but it's still impressive all the same.
Also have you ever considered that since it was only made by one guy he didn't have to share any profits and became a millionaire through an anti-capitalist game he can no longer possibly relate to? That's pretty funny.
9:19 Alternatively, the trash panda floating off with an umbrella could be another My Neighbor Totoro reference, and considering trash bear is close to Totoro's design and that there are already many ghibli references.
I agree, it has nothing to do with Mary Poppins lol
Why not both?
a little bit of both, I'd say
Yes was about to say this
@@DrinkWater47same
At 10:51, I meant to change the voiceover, as the Skeleton dialogue was patched out, and I replaced it with Pierre's out of bounds dialogue... but I forgot to change it.
For 78 are you sure that isn't Evelyn and George
13:11
I know but resetting to get Marlon and Gil would've drove me insane lol
13:43 Sal made an oopsie.
@@el1ks1rah my favorite chief *Linus*
4:00 I think that the dolphin might be a reference to the gamecube, which was codenamed "dolphin" in development. That's also why the gamecube emulator is called dolphin.
Usually when you go to the Pirate's Cove and talk to the bartender, he says "Grog and tasties are for da pirates only".
But if you put on the Deluxe Pirate Hat, he gives you a mead for free!
This might be far fetched but in the desert theres a long cactus that when interacted gives you the dialogue "This cactus is huge. knowing that the cactus will continue to grow fills you with assurance." which in my opinion at least seems like a pretty clear undertale reference.
Really? I’m going to go look. I hadn’t realized that.
Can’t find it. Could you possibly tell me around where it is? Sorry i just think this sounds really interesting.
@@Zayumaycy late reply but its in the left side of the desert at the bottom.
that's such a toby fox joke
This is actually false. This cactus does not exist in the BASE/VANILLA game... only Expanded
The submarine joke 😭 I remember going to the night market right after it was announced they were missing and i felt so awkward while in the sub.
1 in 10,000,000 chance the sub spontaneously implodes and you have to reset the day would be funny
If you marry Elliott, he also mentions grampletown in his 14th heart event letters
83: you forgot the most important villager to not go to the doctor once a year: you.
"I know what you're thinking. There are only 26 collectible eggs."
Or I would think that, if I knew that before now. Learned something new today before the video started in earnest!
I had originally thought the trash bear was referencing Totoro since he does the same thing
In multiplayer, if you get more than one golden statue of Lewis and one of you place both/all of them in town, Lewis will yell at you and one of the statues will be gone. Later, one can be found in Marnie's bedroom.
Adding on to easter eggs in other games, in Starbound (which is also published by Chucklefish), if you can get ahold of any instrument, it lets you choose from a list of songs to play, and in that list is Stardew Valley's theme song.
As well as Grandpa’s Theme.
Don't forget the Starbound Valley achievement
8:30 Sam will not lose friendship if he sees you dig in the trash either. I found out through random dialogue it's because his father used to find interesting things in the trash when he was a garbage man.
"Instead of being disgusted, he just asks the player why they're searching through the trash. It still costs the player 25 friendship points, however." -straight from the wiki.
As a Star Trek: TNG nerd, I am ashamed that I never thought to google what the rest of Wizard's introductory line was and see that it is, indeed, a reference to Deanna's mother.
Dammit.
That one surprised me, I always thought it was a reference to Gandalf saying wielder of the sacred flame of Arnor or something along those lines
After pouring hundreds, if not thousands of hours into Stardew, and STILL learning things you didn't know before...that.
That is a sign of a great game.
Agreed, this game is infinite
I can pet so many rabbits, this is all I need
Bro I saw u on insta before 🤓
actually, the pour-over shirt's "familiar zigzag pattern" seems to be a reference to the actual coffee item in-game, as the coffee mug has the same zigzag pattern as the shirt.
edit: the dolphin could be a reference to the GameCube, which was codnamed 'Dolphin' during development.
The "Granny" character in Totoro also tells the main girls when they move in next-door to call her granny. Also, I always thought that Mr. Qi is a reference to Q from Star Trek.
I think the hats on the urchins is more specifically a reference to that fact that people who keep pet sea urchins will often make fun little hats for their urchins to wear. I've seen pictures of an urchin wearing a viking helmet and another with a cowboy hat, for example. It's such a cool thing to have in real life.
7:48 if you pause and wait on the beach you have a chance to see it as well. I had paused my game to get some food and when I came back I barely saw the sea monster swimming away.
15:17 Grampleton is also mentioned in Elliott's 14 heart event, because it's where he starts his book tour
About Jodi: It's been said that that ConcernedApe revealed that Abigail isn't the illegitimate child of the wizard. But the wizard says one of the villagers is a kid of his. I'm thinking that because Vincent's design is based off of Studio Ghibli characters who are always magical and mystical, maybe instead Vincent is his child.
He's young enough it would fit the time frame. Sam even says Vincent never got to know Kent as a dad. And with the clue that Jodi is a Jodi...it feels like it fits better.
Just a random thought. Not 100% committed to it.
Nah. Vincent never new his father because he was too young to remember him when Kent left. Thats why there is no strong bond between them.
I've also asked my son (3.5 years old) frequently about his passed away grandfather if he remembers him (my dad, may allah forgive him) and he said yes for months but 2 weeks ago I asked him again and he said that he can't remember him anymore.
This is how children brains work..
The wizard mentions he suspects that one of the villagers is his *daughter*, so I doubt it is Vincent. That, and Caroline, Abigail's mother, mentions she used to take frequent walks to the wizard's tower, but you must not tell Pierre because he has jealousy issues. Pierre also asks you if Abigail looks anything like him, because he wonders if he is really her father.
Abigail also mentions she can't remember the last time she dyed her hair, and she swears it never fades from that color (purple, like the wizard's hair).
Although that last one can be contradicted due the the fact Caroline mentions that she wishes Abby would go back to her natural color, so I don't know on that one.
@@catzrule1990 It could be the purple hair is due to some magic shenanigans that takes some time to manifest.
There’s a device in Don’t Starve Together called the Lazy Deserter that looks (and works) exactly like the obelisk transporter in Stardew, but I’m not sure which came first
Items that teleport you to different places are game mechanics in many games
@@qwasr1278 Of course, but these two look alike: Each one is a light brown pyramid with a gem suspended over the tip
I just looked it up and the Lazy Deserter was added to DST in 2017 and the mini-obelisk added to Stardew in 2020, so I'm guessing it's a reference to DST
Yeah, they’re too similar visually talking for it not to be a coincidence
Also, both are too much of a pain for me to bother to use it, lol
The Jodi reference is pretty funny! I told my husband about that (he's in the military) and he got a kick out of it 😂
bro that part hurt me on a personal level for two reasons:
1. I love Jodi simply because her sprite model is so cute
2. I hate NTR with a burning passion
so that little trivia painted a really awful imagery in my head and I want to cry
I also like that Sandy lives in the desert.
Also, if you talk to Jodi, some of her dialogue indicates that she’s been thinking about what she could’ve been if she isn’t married and have a responsibility to keep her children.
If you talk to her during winter night market she even expressed her feelings on how wonderful it is to be able to traveling around the world like those merchants do.
Now let’s just imagine if Jodi finds out that witch hut exists….
@@lnlonelyness2801 NTR is based, nothing better than some loser's girl getting her brains fucked out by a real man
The "Feast of the Winter Star" is believed to be a reference to the classic anime "Fist of the North Star"
Love all the easter eggs. While not mentioned here there is some nods to Seattle and the area. My favorite possible one is that the bay next to the central area of Seattle is called "Elliott Bay". And named after it is the local "Elliott Bay Book Company"
the owl house reference made me smile so much! the three games included are three of my all-time favorites in one of my favorite shows ✨
this is so well done! i was ready to be like 'oh yeah, this will be the same ones everyone mentions' but i didn't know most of these! great vid
This is the first video I've made where some of the content I actually discovered myself, and weren't listed on the wiki or reddit, like the Salad Fingers reference and Highway '89 painting!
@@salmence100 it’s great man! Can tell a lot of time and effort went into it
no, its not just a lonely rock.
that is where elliott sits and sings "part of your world"
you cant tell me any differently.
The goggles are actually radioactive.
thanks for showing the wizard dialogue in events where you can't reach him, i've always been curious if he actually had any dialogue or if it would just be a placeholder!
#48, I had that one today! Took me by surprise, I was just fishing and BAM! Sea monster!
I think it’s so sweet how many other games and other media reference Stardew Valley, especially media from completely different genres and play styles from Stardew. It’s just such a classic and beloved game by so many :)
I feel like the that’s a lot of fish one is a bit of a reach personally but this was super fun. Great job!
1:40 “try to cover themSHELLves” 😭😭
I definitely recommend watching this till the end! At first i was like "eh.. just another video with the same exact secrets or easter eggs as all the other 200 videos with similar titles" but NO i really really enjoyed this! This was so nice to watch i always like to fill my tiny brain with more and more stardew things because its my fav game, very nice video my guy
I almost rearranged things to put the more unique stuff up front, but I decided to keep the well known classics first!
I think you did a great job at the way you arranged every part of the video! I liked the feeling of " oh i knew this, but this other upcoming fact i never heard before" then hearing something i knew but probably didn't remember then hearing another fact/secret about the game i got so excited over this 😭😭
At 4:02 when you are talking about the dolphin poster, this could also be a reference to the Nintendo Dolphin, a code name for what became the Game Cube. This would keep the references in Nintendo related items.
If you click on the Lonely Stone on the map it makes a stone noise and closes the menu
14:00 wouldn't it be 4 ppl in town that don't go to the clinic, if you count the Wizard? I don't think he'd be going to Harvey if he so keen on drinking his forest essence juice 😂
There was a very fun game adaptation of the TV show "Flipper" that Concerned Ape no doubt watched and played. He's 3 years younger than me, and I see a lot of '90s stuff in Stardew Valley. Also, the working codename during development of the Nintendo Game Cube was project "Dolphin." Nintendo had a graphics demo of a Dolphin to show off the new tech, so the poster could be a reference to that demo.
There's no doubt in my mind Concerned Ape was playing a ton of the same games my brothers (his age) and I were playing in the 1990s, especially Harvest Moon 64, which Stardew Valley feels like he took every aspect of that game, then expanded it 100 fold. I love playing Stardew Valley, because it feels super nostalgic, back when games were games, and none of this micro-transaction and "we'll patch the bugs later, maybe," mindset. Games in the '90s were severely limited by the hardware of the time, and if you released a buggy game, you lost a fortune, maybe even go bankrupt. This meant games had to have really good gameplay, a good story, and have as few bugs as possible. We ended up with some great gems. Also some really janky ones, lol. We'd rent the game at Blockbuster, play it a week, and if we liked it, we either rented it again, or bought it.
Different times, man.
Excited to see the wizard's dialogue in the new 1.6 festival!
The "familiar zigzag" pattern shirt looks like a reference to Charlie Brown's shirts with those zigzags.
I think the easter eggs you see with the title screen (clicking the E; the corner; etc) were each added with every major update (1.1, 1.2, etc) of the game. I could be wrong but there always seemed to be a new thing each time!
I think this is the first secrets video I've seen in a while with new to me secrets. Neat!
For some reason, seeing Linus walking through the snow made me really want a mod that would change his tent into a giant ceramic jar. ... Maybe also give him a toga and lantern.
false advertising smh.... 2 more facts than expected..... liked and subscribed...........
The first time I visited the wizard m, the Lwaxana Troi reference made me very happy. I’m a huge Star Trek nerd.
YOOO, I can’t believe I never noticed the turnip head thing! I’ve seen HMC at least 24 times
This is what exactly what I've been waiting for when you give Clint something he loves that is a meme I heard before
I was so socked to see kleptocats mentioned, that used to be my favorite game series
You forgot in Starbound game, you can play grandpas theme on any of the instruments
Legend of the River King is so good
criminally underrated lil series imo
speaking of Terraria, you can see a Soul Of Flight in two spots in Stardew Valley: in the credits after scrolling down for a bit and randomly on a good luck day from the fortune teller
I still wonder if anyone will ever realise how much the kids, Vincent and Jas, share character traits with Calvin and his neighbor girl Susie from the Calvin and Hobbes comic books. Vincent considers it a tough choice when challenged about getting his clothes dirty, knowing that his mom will hate it - same with Calvin. Also his love for snails and bugs and his lack of interest in school, as can be seen by the low grades he gets (on the cupboard in his home). There is a line from Vincent when you reached a good friendship level with him where he tells you that he considers you not as boring as most grown-ups. Calvin constantly describes grown-ups as boring. Jas has some things in common with Susie, always pretty, always good at school, always playing neatly. Also they go to school together in the comics.
The game Core Keeper has a music sheet for the Stardew Valley theme.
13:14 I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure thats Evelyn and George 💀💀
The cool thing is if you put green tea leaves in a keg,it makes tea within one day unlike when you make wine.
It's in Expanded, but I remember being so shocked when talking to Victor and he mentions continuing to watch 'My Villain Academia', which is a canonical term used for an arc in My Hero Academia.
And of course, Legend of Lonk.
I'm late to this video lmao but I'm so glad you mentioned #20 being a Howl's Moving Castle reference, I _love_ the books and the movie and in all my Stardew playthroughs, I'd always make sure to get that scarecrow at the fair. I knew its design wasn't just a coincidence!
I’m so glad you knew about the Stardew reference in Gungeon! If you didn’t I would’ve called you out on it real quick.
this was really fun to watch, love ur content man
Cool video. I though the wizard's line might be from Lwaxana Troy😊 and Master Canolli statue was a reference to Obi Wan Canobi.
It's Kenobi
3:36 there’s also several breeds of chicken that actually lay blue eggs. IRL they look like a light robin egg blue or sea foam blue/green color
kent sends the recipe for crispy bass and that’s a jodi love. very similar to the pumpkin soup to sebastian
I'm amazed at how much work went into this video!! Thanks so much, Sal!
Every single time you upload it literally makes my day
Considering how Razmodius is totally not Abigail's biological father it makes sense that he makes a reference to the horniest woman in Star Trek
I think there is another reference, i heven't really seen anyone talk about it yet, but at the beggining of the game, during the cutscene where the main character works at jojo, one of the people working behind desks is Stan from Monkey Island game series
I'm not really sure, but I'll be damned if a pirate saying 'youch' is not a reference to the Monkey Island game series where Guybrush says youch everytime he gets hurt.
2:54 i just watched spirited away recently, and i did not know this! Thats actually really cool and just makes me love the soot even more ngl
i was kind of surprised this didn’t come up in the video BUT the trucker hat is (or so i’ve heard) a reference to the eggscellent episode of regular show and while watching this video, linus’ dialogue at the spirits eve festival is also probably a reference to pops catchphrase
16:41 completely unrelated to the subject of the video but this just unlocked a deep forgotten memory from years ago where I was for some reason I was really interested in this game and watched a lot of lets plays of it 😂
These videos are amazing but so is your voice ‼️💯
That's crazy to me because I was so sick when I recorded this! I was actually worried about how my voice sounded
@@salmence100 ohh! I hope you are doing well now 💗
yippee yippee my favorite stardew creator has graced thee!
(with a new video)
4:55 I think you mean *fortunately*! It was a struggle for me to go on the submarine in Stardew right after the oceangate incident
14:52 Jojas logo looks like a smile. The o and a are the eyes, the j is the nose, and the smile is well the smile.
Owl House jumpscare lol, was not expecting that. Love your vids! ❤
Sebastian liking Robin's pumpkin soup is so cute.
Okay the mermaid one is so cool! I think that might be my favorite out of all of them
5:19 Sal really out here exposing himself like that smh
jk great video man, and it's a great series
I am 1:27 in and legitimately so amazed that I do the +0× face, I would have never thought that theres so much of this personal little heart felt details of CA in there, I only started playing the game last year when I could finally afford it, and Salmence is my first and only source of stardew facts so far since I dont want myself to be spoiled too much but he mostly keeps spoiler warnings ot does videos focusing on a specific topic that i know about already but want better detailed understanding, and because out of 4 people of tried lostening to the first 5 minutes in, he was the most charismatic to me personally, however, I'm still new to the game and this just completely blew me away and i just started watching :D How fascinating
4:27 The dirt: I LOOK LIKE A MINECRAFT DIRT BLOCK?!
Elliot also goes on tour in Grampleton during his 14 heart event
Stardew Fair festival also references the festival in Chrono Trigger, with the silver stars and test-your-strenght minigame.
My guy went for blood with that submarine bit
the dolphin could be a reference to the dolphin emulator too
also I heard that pun with the urchin, "hiding themshellves" lol
I had never made the connection with Sebastian liking Flounder. I love it!
Great video!
my favourite easter egg is that by using an ancient doll in lava on level 100 of the mines, you get an item you can use at the wizard’s tower to get the Meowmere sword, which is a terraria reference!
😰 I never realized the rusty spoon reference. A lot of real world artifacts are mundane, so I didn’t think twice about it
Similar to Robin’s pumpkin soup recipe, Jodi’s favorite dish is Crispy Bass, which is Kent’s recipe. It’s so damn cute 😭
Awesome video! I learned a lot of interesting trivia I never caught from this, and I have almost 400 hours in the game!
One thing I want to say, at 14:44, I think the Joja logo is more a parody of the WatchMojo logo than Amazon. They both have the "J" as a nose with a smile below it and are in blue text. "Joja" is a ripoff of "Mojo"
i've got 2 pet sea urchins who wear hats, one in my coral reef tank named Dave, who wears a fedora, and one alone in a modern tank wearing a sailor's cap, named skipper (who was a gift from krobus)
12:47 Thats the most brutal thing i've ever heard, Thankfully i always keep a crystalarium with amethyst to give her every day
I think that when Haley has her heart event on the beach and looses her bracelet it is a reference to the beginning of Chrono trigger where Chrono has the option to return Marles pendant
As a little addition, now with the 1.6 update Linus can also see you open the trash can in the desert festival
I squealed when you first said the moon was a mlp reference lol.
I always had figured that the red and green overrals was a reference to the Mario Bros. I didnt miss it not one bit.
