    Seems like the thing I’ve always considered true: you can turn a mediocre game into a masterpiece with the right application of music.

    Not that I’m saying Stardew is mediocre, but good music seems to uplift a game more than any other part.

      music, lighting, and basic game design.

      nail those 3 things and don’t fuck up anything else, and people will throw money at your game, because the rest of the industry seems to refuse to provide games that are simply enjoyable without trying to turn you into a dairy cow.

      I wouldn’t go as far as masterpiece but indeed the music is very important. The best Final Fantasy, in my opinion, have OST composed by Nobuo Uematsu, a musical genius, for example. And they wouldn’t be as good without his work.
