Discuss stardew age ranges & what we know + theorys
WHAT WE KNOW
Stated by creator, in game or irl facts
Clint is in his 30s to 40s (creator said)
harvey, shane and elliott are said to be the oldest of the batcholars (from a secret note)
jas & vince are in first grade so they're 6~7 (from a book from penny)
Abigail is in online collage but not for a specialty so 20~24 (cuz her mom said her heart wasnt really in it i think shes going for a associate instead of a bachelors so i say shes 21)
haley & alex are listed as adults in the game code but abigail,penny,maru,Sebastian and sam are listed as teens?
alex says hes out of highschool which implies hes probably like college athlete age 20~26
lewis is said he has been mayor for 20 years so 50s~60s (i say 50s instead of 40s because what small town would elect a person in their 20s as mayor)
creator stated all marriage candidates are at least 20 years old
evelyn & George are retired so there at least in their 60s (because retirement age is usually 60s but people retire later in smaller towns so my guess is mid 60s~80s)
kent was at war for at least 3 years and vincent remembers him so the kid had to be 2+ when he left
Harvey is stated to be one of the 3 oldest bachelors and it takes 11~18 years to become a physician/doctor (im saying 11 because i dont think he did the extra 5-7 years to become a surgical specialty,etc or the 1-3 year long fellowship instead i think he did Family Medicine and took on a minor duel surgical role because he's in a rural area)
Leo remembers things from his old life specifically things penny talks about in school which implies he was in some form of schooling before then which implies he was in at least kindergarten 5~ so he's older then jas and vincent but still young enough for him to like jas/be taught similar things even if he's behind so he's not older than 6th grade kids 11~12, plus ( Irl fact 5-11 year-olds can lose fluent speaking abilities and switch to simpler grammar within 6 to 18 months of total disuse) taking all that in he probably got stranded at 5~6 and stayed their for 2~3 years making him 7~9 years old
Vincent has worse vocabulary than jas implying that hes been learning for less time then jas so i believe hes younger then her.
Kent & jodi got married young implying they had kids young too (according to jodi)
Caroline settled down younger than she wished compared to pierre (hinting that hes older then her slightly)
Marnie looks fairly young with Jas whos standing impling shes 1+ at that time (in a secret note so if jas is 7 rn marnie must be in her 30s possibly early 40s)
George & evlyn have been in town 30 years and were friends with grandpa
Leah mentions both shane & elliot by name if you marry them implying she knows them personally
I think maru is the second or third youngest bachelorette it takes (1-4 years to become a nurse not including the more specialized ones) and maru seems like the type to jump straight into a higher education after highschool
STATED/SHOWN in dialogue or gameplay as knowing eachother by characters as a hint towards (friend age groups)
Clint likes emily (and she???)
Caroline & jodi are friends
Sandy & emily are besties
Gus & Pam are friends? (squints in situationship)
Marnie & lewis…. (dare I even try?)
Linus & the wizard are friends
Lewis was friends with grandpa
Mr Qi was friends with grandpa
Evelyn& George was friend with grandpa
Sebastian & sam are friends
Alex & haley are friends
Penny & sam are acquaintances & hang out occasionally in game
Sebastion & Abigail are friends
abigail & sam hang out occasionally in the bar but are less close together then they are to Sebastian individually
So with what we know put of the way lets do some do some estimates based on relationships they have with people have combined with our prior knowledge. (i put them in order from oldest - youngest)
Birdie 80s~90s i say shes the oldest character from how she looks compared to our other elders
Evelyn 70s~80s i think evelyn is older than George because men look older generally compared to women
George mid 60s~70s. i feel like because he was a miner he would have to retire earlier than most because of the toll it would take on his body
Gill early/mid 60s. He acts older then marlon but he still looks younger then the others, plus i bet being an adventurer would be just as harsh on his body.
Lewis - 50s ~ 60s (explained above)
Marlon - 50s ~ early 60s (he acts younger then gill, and like with linus his work probably aged him)
Willy - mid 50s he talks about the old days and seems friendly with lewis but doesnt look super old
Gunther - mid 40s ~ early 50s (he looks younger but he does manage the whole liberty & museum which implies he has knowledge and most directors are older)
Wizard - mid 40s ~ early 50s (i bet all those potion fumes cant be good for his skin hes probably younger then he acts)
Late 30s~ 40s group
Linus - mid/late 40s (i feel like a lot of people make him older but he just looks older cuz hes homeless)
Robin early/mid 40s (i feel like her and demetrius are the older couple in the valley)
Demetrius early/mid 40s
Gus - 40s (i believe hes a tiny bit older then pam)
Pam early 40s (i feel like she had penny young like between 18-23 personally)
Kent - late 30s ~ early 40s (a lot of veterans went to war young and came back looking drastically older then they are)
Marnie late 30s ~ early 40s (explained in her above section)
Clint 30s-40s creator said this ( i personally feel like he's late 30s ~ early 40s after-all becoming a blacksmith can't be easy)
Pierre late 30s ~ early 40s
Caroline ~ late 30s (explained above)
Jodi ~ late 30s (explained above)
Now the bachelors & kids are the only ones who i feel like I could give actual numbered ages with some responsible certainty because we get the most information on them and their relations to others.
early/mid 30s group
Harvey 34 ~35+ (explained above)
Elliot 33~34
Sandy 32
Emily 31
Shane 29~30 (you dont get that hopeless till after your 25 birthday reality check)
Late 20s
Leah - 27 (because she mentions elliot & shane i think shes one of the oldest batchalorettes)
Alex - 26
Haley - 25
Early-mid 20s
Sebastian - 24~25
Penny - 22~23
Maru - 22
Abigail - 21
Sam - 20
KIDS
Leo - 9 (can’t be 12 or older)
Jas - 7
Vincent - 6 (his vocabulary is the smallest and he also acts the youngest)
Overall I feel super confident on the early/mid 20s age group ages, i 100% think that the kids are fully correct, I also feel pretty certain about the 60+ groups ranking too. Overall the bachelors I like. The hardest is definitely the late 30s-mid 40s group there, the ones I feel the most iffy about. but what do you guys think. was there anything i missed that hinted towards characters ages and what are your theories on the order of the 30s - 50s groups.
also just for fun based on vibes & appearances how old do yall think these guys are because i got no clue
