We’re a bit bit amazed that, given how huge indie farming sensation Stardew Valley is, there is not an official Lego set. However maybe this award-winning set from this 12 months’s BrickCon in Bellevue, Washington will persuade the wizards at Lego to rent the person who created this 75,000-piece construct (thanks, IGN and PC Gamer!).
Brick constructing fanatic and Stardew Valley fan Steven Jensen has been engaged on his Pelican Valley construct for almost two years. Over on the Stardew Valley boards, Jensen has been going into painstaking element since September 2023, the place he is talked about what units he is used for every part.
Okay, we’re a bit late to the occasion on this one (BrickCon was Seventh-Eighth September), however goodness me, what a construct, proper? Jensen’s recreation of the total base map in Stardew Valley is 1:1 correct by our eyes. The travelling service provider is there; the ice cream stand sits proudly subsequent to the museum; the vines on the Group Heart cowl the dilapidated constructing; even the Wizard’s Tower is current.

One necessary factor to notice, from Jensen’s Instagram, is that “A good bit of inventive creativity” was wanted to recreate many components from the sport. First up, Jensen needed to “generate unseen sport components” comparable to the perimeters and the backs of buildings in addition to “converge” map areas collectively. He additionally mixed a number of components and occasions from totally different moments, characters, and seasons into the construct. Lastly, the map is predicated on the bottom model of the sport Jensen has on his Swap.
Properly, it is clear that a number of love has gone into the construct. It is excellent — so excellent, in actual fact, that Jensen gained the “Individuals’s Selection” award on the conference. Oh, and that is not all — Stardew’s creator Eric Barone, higher generally known as ConcernedApe, turned as much as the present to marvel on the construct.
“Whereas Individuals’s Selection was huge information, that is even BIGGER NEWS!” Jensen wrote on Instagram “It is okay should you do not acknowledge him… I did not both. And sure, I did a short fan-boy second when Involved Ape launched himself!!! Naturally, I introduced him “backstage” for a more in-depth look (…and this pic)!!”
