sunshine_challenge and Prompt 4: Daisy
These sunny springtime blooms have several positive meanings. The meaning of a daisy flower can be purity, innocence, new beginnings, joy and cheerfulness. In the Victorian Era, daisies symbolized innocence, loyalty and an ability to keep things secret.
Games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons etc are all about new beginnings and I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy them so much. They're about escaping to a state of innocence, a simple place - where the days are long and the nights are short, the air and water are clean, the people are kind and the animals are friendly. You can leave behind the hustle and bustle of city life, start over, reinvent yourself and find a new happiness, peace and contentment in a small town - and that is something that appeals to me a lot!
I love the character creation aspects of the game, that they can be whoever you want them to be. You choose their name, their appearance, and I like to give them a personality and a backstory too! You can choose which skills you want to work on - farming, fishing, mining, foraging.
There's something about the games that give them this vibe of being pure and innocent. The graphics are simple but charming, the music is cheerful, upbeat and relaxing with a folky kind of feel, and the characters are (mostly)kind and friendly. The whole vibe is positive and uplifting, with a focus on friendship, community and self-improvement. They're such feel-good games, filled with the simple joys in lfie and it's hard to not feel calm, happy and carefree playing them.
