When Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone introduced again in April that his life-consuming farm-life sim can be getting one other replace, he described 1.6 as “principally modifications for modders (which can make it simpler & extra highly effective to mod)”, saying the variety of new additions can be “a lot lower than 1.5.” He is bought Haunted Chocolatier to work on, in any case.
Then he tweeted an image of some sort of JojaMart gold parrot, suggesting the less-popular pro-capitalism aspect of Stardew can be getting a bit of love within the replace. And now he is shared a sneak peek of what the 1.6 replace will include, and it is much more than simply modifications for modders.
Among the many additions are “Joja options to among the end-game quests”, which is presumably what that grasping parrot’s related to. There are additionally three festivals on the listing (one main, two mini), in addition to “100+ new traces of dialogue”, a brand new sort of farm, winter garments for the inhabitants of Pelican City, extra objects and crafting recipes, “New late-game content material, which expands on every of the ability areas”, and assist for eight-player multiplayer on PC.
Lastly, Barone notes the 1.6 replace will embrace “Many small additions and changes” in addition to “New secrets and techniques & extra” and provides that it is nonetheless in growth, and does not have a launch date but.
One of many issues we love about Stardew Valley is how a lot post-release assist it is had, rising like a well-tended crop right into a recreation we’re always tempted to return to. Nonetheless, Barone has one other recreation to make and when he strikes on from Stardew there’ll nonetheless be modders including to it for years to return. Can somebody examine Barone’s getting sufficient sleep and never, like, collapsing in a area at 2am?
