FarmVille: Difference between revisions

 

It is a sister game to ''[[Pet Ville]]'', ''[[Fish Ville]]'', ''[[Frontier Ville]]'', and ''[[City Ville]]''. It's not a well known fact, but Farmville is actually inspired by [[Happy Farm]], developed in China (which itself was inspired by [[Harvest Moon]]). You would think it's usually the other way around.

* [[Dueling Games]]: With ''Farm Town'', which ''FarmVille'' won. Both of these also bear strong similarities to the ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' series.

* [[Experience Points]]: Earned by doing just about everything<ref>plowing, planting most seeds (usually one or two points per plot), harvesting fertilized crops, finishing collections, fertilizing neighbors' crops, crafting goods, and even buying most decorations (generally 1 exp. per 100 coins spent, or 5-30 exp. per 1 cash spent)</ref>, each level you gain unlocks new crops and items, and gives you 1 farm cash.

* [[Messy Pig]]: Although the slop feeding part was removed from the game.

* [[Precious Puppies]]: Feed the dog with [[Dog Food Diet|kibble]] to get him to stay and follow you around.

* [[In Universe Game Clock]]: The game uses real world time. Make sure you harvest your crops on schedule, because they'll wither if you leave them alone twice as long as you're supposed to. Some daily activities (like buying goods and bushels) reset at midnight, while most daily activities (like harvesting your chicken coop) use a 23-hour timer that starts counting from the last time you used it.

* [[Isometric Projection]]

* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Sheep, cows, horses, ducks... nearly every animal has variations distinguished by color, and the color often determines the value of whatever you harvest from them. For example, brown cows give chocolate milk, which is worth 12 coins, compared to the 6 coins you get for the milk from ordinary white cows, but pink cows give strawberry milk, which is worth 18 coins, and certain cows obtained through breeding can have milk worth as much as 80 coins. Similarly, Rainbow chickens > Rhode Island Red > Scots Grey > Cornish > golden > black > brown > white.

* [[Pretty Butterflies]]: There is a collection series of butterflies, and butterfly decorations.

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Normal farm animals, mostly (penguins?). But they are all ridiculously cute.

* [[The Movie]]: It seems impossible, but apparently they're making a movie adaptation.[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a344505/farmville-movie-in-the-works-from-toy-story-writers.html\]
