We’re a bit of bit amazed that, given how large indie farming sensation Stardew Valley is, there is not an official Lego set. However maybe this award-winning set from this yr’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 of late to the get together on this one (BrickCon was Seventh-Eighth September), however goodness me, what a construct, proper? Jensen’s recreation of the whole 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 vital 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 recreation components” similar 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 completely different moments, characters, and seasons into the construct. Lastly, the map is predicated on the bottom model of the sport Jensen has on his Change.
Nicely, it is clear that lots of love has gone into the construct. It is good — so good, in truth, that Jensen gained the “Folks’s Selection” award on the conference. Oh, and that is not all — Stardew’s creator Eric Barone, higher often called ConcernedApe, turned as much as the present to marvel on the construct.
“Whereas Folks’s Selection was large information, that is even BIGGER NEWS!” Jensen wrote on Instagram “It is okay in case you do not acknowledge him… I did not both. And sure, I did a quick fan-boy second when Involved Ape launched himself!!! Naturally, I introduced him “backstage” for a better look (…and this pic)!!”
