Infinity Nikki receives some kind of cooperation with Stardew Valley from September 1, and although we really have no idea what is associated with it, there are already surprisingly mixed reactions from the community after the announcement. But this is not the fault of the Stardew Valley – this is the result of five months of growing frustration of the community directed to the infold Nikki developer, infold.
🌟 Dear stylists,
We are glad that we can announce official cooperation with the beloved Star Valley!
Cozy surprises are waiting for you, and the adventure is in the air. Prepare your senses for the harvest of miracles.

This comes from a movie published on the official Infinity Account Nikki Twitter/X, which is shown by Junim Stardew Valley entering the world of Infinity Nikki. “Cozy surprises are waiting for you and the adventure is in the air,” we read in the post. “Prepare your senses for the harvest of miracles.” Although it is quite likely that this means modern outfits for Nikka, there is really nothing that means exactly what the cooperation involves. It is also impossible to determine whether anything Infinity Nikki will appear on the Stardew Valley side, especially since the Stardew crossovers have been little and far for years.
Although this message seems to be completely positive, one view on the community suggests that this is not the case. Players are crazy, however, there is not cooperation itself, but the time of announcement and cropping after the constant tension between the Nikki Infinity Community and the infold developer.
The community has been divided for some time since updating 1.5 in April added some controversial changes in the game. The changes were multi -faceted – some seemed to Retcon Infinity Nikki, while others caused the player’s frustration, increasing money and time investments required to collect full costumes. In response, the community began a boycott campaign, which ultimately was to change the name “Girlcott”, when the official Infinity Nikki channels seemed to block the apply of the word “boycott” completely. While the infold apologized and repaired some of the problems, not all of them were repaired, the community remained dissatisfied, and the studio avoided further questions posed by reporters.
But recently a modern controversy has hit. Infold notoriously does not disclose modern costumes or modern updates until they take place on the launch, which in time led leaks in advance so that the community could make better decisions regarding whether to spend money on some costumes, or wait for the next update.
Dear stylists,
We have recently realized that some unauthorized development materials from our game have been illegally made available on many platforms. These innovative works were to be disclosed at the right time, but instead they were revealed by the wrong channels.

Here is the full message:
However, that’s not all. This “hammer” handed out in the game next to this message? He has a fascinating description of the subject in the game: “There are moments of itching a hand, willingly raising a powerful hammer towards a specific purpose.”
No need to add that the community is Not excited. Since this sending, players have been frustrating on various social channels of Nikki Nikki, arguing that the message was minor, unnecessarily harsh and ignored the real problem that the community faced: that people think that they cannot make informed decisions about how to spend money because the studio does not communicate their plans. Players are now gathering to support Leakers, although others are pushing, arguing that the infold has the right to go leaky and announce updates when and how he chooses it.
Which brings us back to the Stardew Valley. Nobody is really furious about the Stardew Valley – in fact, there are many witty speculation about what costumes can be associated with cooperation. What players are nervous is the time that some suggest Too konvennent Distract attention from the controversy around the leaks. While most realize that time is accidental (Gamescom is this week, it is understandable to have something great to announce), the basic problems that the community has in the studio, and there is still no answer and it seems that it will be again swept under the carpet after another charming outfit.
It is just a pity for Stardew and his fans who rarely get a crossover in this way and are now caught in the middle. Poor Junim.
