Stardew Valley Speedrunner destroy his farm to beat awesome games Complete the quick challenge in 17 minutes
Speedrunners can be seen as the antithesis of game developers. In the case of a second crafting mechanic that meticulously ensures the game is played as intended, the speedrunners will dismantle the game to get their way. Such is the case with Olenoname’s Stardew Valley running for Awesome Games Done Quick 2022.
This year’s Stardew Valley category involved building the Town Community Center as quickly as possible with bugs enabled, and the speed machine managed it in just over 17 minutes (thanks, PCGamer). While life simulation is commonly known for its slow pace and quiet setting, Olenoname broke it by unleashing sheer carnage on his own ranch.
He started off by deleting some of his own tools and tricking friendly neighbors into giving him a bunch of stuff. This issue is related to hidden code in dialogue with these neighbors. Olenoname manages this by naming its characters a long list of line codes. This resulted in the NPC’s neighbor giving them these items when they called his name. A neat little trick to easily get the things he needs. He then proceeded to systematically bomb his land to clear the trees. In the end, he built the town’s community center and finished the run at 17 minutes 13.8 seconds.
It is such feats that motivate viewers to donate to the Cancer Prevention Foundation. However, 2022 is a special year for this event as it not only achieves 1 million dollars in record time, but it also hits $2 million figure faster than ever.
“I’m incredibly happy with the support we’ve received so far, and would love to see how far it goes,” Matt Merkle, Games Done Quick’s chief operating officer, told us. “Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, all for a great cause.”
Today is the last day of the week long event. You’ll be able to watch the Legends run of Halo: Combat Evolved by Chronos_R, a blindfolded stage, any percentage of Serkiro: Shadows Die Twice by Mitcriz, an Extreme, all bosses running Metal Gear Solid of dlimes13 and all classic bosses (no glitches to discover) in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past by hotarubi_ta.
