A fan-made series Valley of the Stars The wallpapers are impressing the community with their beauty and accuracy. The indie farming and living simulator is known for its cozy vibes and distinctive pixel art style. And while there are plenty of wallpapers made for the game for fans to collect and use, this new one has a unique feature that makes it stand out from the rest.
Created by Bratzoid on Reddit, The images consist of a set of four dynamic wallpapers that change throughout the day. Wallpapers are now available to install and use on Mac devices, mobile screens (albeit in their static, unchanging format), and through Wallpaper Engine for Windows devices. Each wallpaper is beautifully crafted with lots of details that Valley of the Stars fans will no doubt enjoy finding out.
A Stardew Valley wallpaper for every season
Unique illustrations change over time
The new wallpapers are seasonal variations of a previous design by the same creator which rose to popularity in February for its cute and cozy style. A recent comment on the original wallpaper inspired the artist to create a new variation for each season of the game, so fans can match the wallpaper to the season (or simply pick their favorites, of course).
Each wallpaper depicts five Valley of the Stars chickens sitting side by side and looking at the sky. As the day passes, the chickens remain still, but the scenery around them changes to show the passage of time. Throughout the day, the lighting and the sun's location in the sky change, and the contented chickens are occasionally caught in a downpour (although adorable umbrella hats protect their little heads). There are many other small details to detect, from subtle changes like leaves blowing in the wind to more obvious changes like the phases of the moon changing over time.
Dynamic wallpapers are full of Easter eggs
Valley of the Stars inspires many artists to be creative and pay homage to the beloved title. In the past, artists have used very creative means to express their love for the game, using everything from gingerbread recreations of the game's farm to months-old crochet sweater projects.
The new wallpaper sets show the amount of love and attention that goes into creative endeavors like this. The creator has included even more creatures and Easter eggs in these seasonal variants of the dynamic wallpapers, including the face on the moon that appears when players click on the full moon on the sales screen. Little details like this are what make these wallpapers and many others Valley of the Stars creative projects stand out and show the level of dedication fans have to their beloved game.
