Joja has evil endings after all!! My ideas on the quest for now. - BewareOf
I'm not a big fan of the Joja Route, simply because the two routes are such a radical departure from each other. At least they should have the same overall outcome. It doesn't seem as thought the Joja route is really necessary. Also, I don't think dating anyone should be a requirement. (Too awkward if you are already married to someone else, or playing a straight female) Improving the Docks should open up a Cruse Ship event, where a ship comes into port every season and tourists visit Stardew Valley. Maybe Emily and Haily's Parents could start to visit once a year. A really Ambitions idea would be booking a cruse during the winter and visiting a resort on the other side of The Gem Sea... I would see this as a more substantial version of the Calico Desert.
One of the ideas I had for multiplayer inspired an improvement on this concept. Having additional "Buses to other areas." They not actual buses but function the same way the current bus does. The Aforementioned Dock could allow the player to take a ferry to another area (Maybe a Mediterranean-themed resort, with a Labyrinth-like dungeon to explore) The area north of the tracks could feature a broken ski-gondola, once repaired, you can ride to the summit where you can ski back down. (This could be a fun mini game.) It seems like Zuzu City would be a good destination as well, Perhaps you could take a train. (Zuzu Express) Which is unlocked by making some kind of deal with the city. Each of these areas should offer unique shops and foraging opportunities, as well as a "Risky diversion" like the skull cave in the desert. I also think the Church of Yoba could be placed on the hill just north of Joja-mart (Perhaps there could be older, bigger graveyard on the lower tier, and the church could be placed on the upper tier.)
It shouldn't have a set year to make happen, it should be perhaps the next year after you complete either or ( I don't think I finished the CC until year 3, because it was a pain in the butt trying to catch the fish, as I rarely fish ) . Or that you can't take care of the farm anymore. You'd have other activities to do, but you can still make time for it! Also, it's extremely doubtful that any of the shops, except maybe Willy, would actually buy from Joja, simply because Pierre hates their guts, and Marnie and Robin don't seem like the type of people who would work for such corrupted people. Gus? I don't know about him, he might be good for it, like Willy, he might not be, I dunno his character that well, I rarely go to the Saloon except to give Sam, Shane, and Sebastian ( And sometimes Pam ) gifts of food and beer But apart from that, that sounds like it could be fun. Gives something more to do after finishing up the main questline things. And it would make sense that Lewis retires sometime while you're playing, since he's probably over 70 ( Which is even creepier with Marnie and him ) , and would realistically die soon ( Or at least just kinda poof and go to the city or something, so as not to upset the younger players ) . Maybe any children you have, and spouse, could help you along with some of the work too~ If you have any, of course, if not, then you'd just be doing it by yourself, or with your spouse. Make it easier with them, but not make it required since some people don't want children or spouses. And yeah, requiring to date someone wouldn't be that good either. I like playing my characters as males, and I like playing them as gay because I find it absolutely adorable, so the likelihood of me ever marrying Abigail, along with other people who don't like her, or don't want to date or marry her in general, are very very low. Mostly since most people are married by the time they complete the bundles, whether it be through Joja, or the CC
I think another cool option would be to make it so that in year 3 the mayor's position is up for election. Maybe Lewis doesn't want to give up the title himself, but if you're at 10 hearts with enough villagers then you can win the vote. The vote will be proposed in Spring year 3, vote itself will occur in summer year 3. Just enough time to help you get most of the support you need, but not enough to make you mayor if you've been completely neglecting everyone for your entire play through. Personally I've always been annoyed by Lewis, and I've always wanted to take his spot as mayor from him. But if you respect his position you could also opt to not run against him.
It would be cool, as a mayor, to be able to create festivals on days when there is nothing, like horse racing, dog/cat racing, tomato war festival like Harvest Moon BtN. And also festivals to reward the better cow/chicken/rabbit/pig/sheep/dinosaur/duck of region, as in Harvest Moon. And sorry for my English ...
I like the idea of eventually becoming Mayor. It could open up the potential to do other projects in the town. I agree it should happen after CC or JoJa quests are finished and should happen regardless of which side you choose. The JoJa CEO quest doesn't really seem necessary. The mayor route could be played 2 different ways: taking project requests from the townspeople, collecting certain items to complete projects, etc. or straight up buying things for the town with certain repercussions. Completing projects in a way similar to the CC would lead to a boost in friendship with NPCs, but doing it it like JoJa would lead to a slight drop in friendship along with other small negatives. i.e. School: CC style route: Penny is the teacher & gets to teach what she wants, boost in friendship with her, Jas, & Vincent; JoJa style route: Penny is the teacher, but she has to go by strict guidelines on what to teach, uniforms, friendship with Penny stays the same, but slight drop with Jas & Vincent. On the idea of the market, I think that's a brilliant idea. Emily could sell cloth, gems, etc.; Willy: fish, Leah: artwork (which you can put in your house and isn't available in the catalog), and so on. Maybe instead of them there everyday, certain NPCs are there on varying days. i.e. Leah on Saturdays & Wednesdays; Willy: Sunday & Monday; etc.
I agree that there shouldn't be a set date for this to start. Have it be the next season or two after the community center is restored. Otherwise you have players possibly waiting a long time, getting bored, and moving on to a new character without even knowing this quest is there. Having Lewis pick the next mayor and having townspeople disagree doesn't work either, because a)not how role of mayor works (elected official) and b) if you've made it to restoring the community center or your (BewareofOni) plan of Year 3, you're probably pretty popular so why wouldn't these guys want you to be mayor? Better to have Lewis saying he's going to retire becasue honeymoon! About time! Then announce the race for mayor, and a vote in say two weeks mabye? or next season? And a series of quests that people can find by talking to the townspeople and trying to get their votes, and each quest gets you that person's vote. Or better, Lewis's list of projects that need to be done to improve the town and bring people in, and you do them, thus showing you're the best candidate.
Idk if you are still here but Im gonna work on a mod based of this, I am not gonna post it for profit, and the credit is gonna be posted to your username here. In case you wanna change the credit part or need anything reach out to me at radiosilence#0967 on discord!
