Stardew Valley player pixel-hoo shared a stunning isometric animation of Leah's Cottage, giving fellow fans a unique new perspective on the popular farming sim. Leah is one of the many villagers in Stardew Valley and lives to the south of the player's farm between Marnie's Ranch and the river. Her home is built in the style of a log cabin, with a natural wood exterior, green rooftop, pipe chimney, and framed windows. While the original 2D pixel graphics of Stardew Valley are beautiful, pixel-hoo decided to bring Leah's Cottage to life with a 3D isometric remake. The gorgeous animation shows the humble abode floating atop a small earthen platform, as Leah stands outside her home and enjoys a gentle breeze while a wisp of smoke flows from the chimney and small leaves are blown about.
