In this patch, you’ll find new seasonal events, a third and spicier date with each romanceable character, as well as spouses finally moving into the farm! [img]https://i.imgur.com/vBT5ykM.png[/img] [i]Guess who moved in![/i] ---- [h2][b]1.0 Announcement[/b][/h2] [h3][b]Sun Haven Patch 1.0 is set to release on March 10th, 2023![/b][/h3] It’s finally that time. The big pieces of content for the 1.0 Release will be the Museum, and updated character customization! For all you completionists out there, now is the time! [img]https://i.imgur.com/gMF4bDd.png[/img] [i]A sneak peek at the Culture Section at the Museum![/i] While we are going to be releasing these two big things, the majority of our time will be going towards bug fixes, optimizations, and polish. If you run into any bugs after the release of Patch 0.8, please pop into discord to share them with us. From [b]Wednesday, February 21st[/b] until the final build for the release, we will be extra active in our discord, as we’ll be trying to polish up everything we can. For these next few weeks, please feel free to come by and post anything you want to see fixed in the #community-suggestions channel. [b]We’ll add it to our running list of things to polish and fix up.[/b] Basically, until the release build is finalized, [b]we’ll be around every single day[/b] to collect and try to solve any problems the community reports, so don’t be shy! [i](keep in mind we will do our best, but we aren’t going to be able to get to everything!)[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/YrGxBP9.gif[/img] ME HUNGRY TO SQUISH BUGS... [h2][b]Our Early Access Journey[/b][/h2] Since the beginning of early access, we’ve worked with the community to implement [b]140+ more features[/b] over [b]8 major updates to the game[/b]. We are incredibly thankful for everyone's help during Early Access. Thank you for all your suggestions, and feedback. While it took an additional 14 months in Early Access compared to what we initially intended, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve put in a ton of hard work to make Sun Haven a game we’re proud of. [i]Sun Haven is a labor of love[/i], and with so many people (ourselves included) with such high hopes for the game, it’s been an immense amount of work to live up to the great things players expect from us. At the same, we’d also like to apologize to any folks out there who wished that the 1.0 Release would have come sooner. We’re proud of all the work and improvements to the game we made, but we also recognize that it was longer than we expected. All things said and done, we’re definitely [b]ready to call Sun Haven a complete game[/b]. As such, we’re releasing it fully to Steam, and are leaving Early Access. Looking forward, we think there are still things we want to improve. Even though Sun Haven is a complete game, we think we can still make it better, so we will be continuing to update it. We’re happy to say that despite leaving Early Access, we would love to continue working closely with our community on future changes, just as we already have been. [h3][b]We Are Still Updating Sun Haven[/b][/h3] [b]So to make it clear– Going forward, we will still be updating the game both in the short term and in the long term.[/b] We will be updating Sun Haven for years to come. We’re here to support the game and the community, so you can expect more content updates from us going forward. We thank everyone for waiting patiently as we have poured our hearts into this game to make it the best game possible. You can take a look at our [url=https://trello.com/b/1cqCSkMp/roadmap]Roadmap[/url] for more information on what our upcoming patches are looking like! Speaking of which… [h3][b]Nintendo Switch[/b][/h3] Lastly, we are working with Nintendo to get Sun Haven available on Nintendo Switch as soon as possible. The game has quickly been approaching the quality bar and level of optimization that we want, and as such, has been making great progress. At this time, the ball is currently in Nintendo’s court, and we are waiting on them in order to continue making progress on our end. As a result, the release of Sun Haven on Nintendo Switch will be pushed out a bit longer, and will go Live as soon as we are given the greenlight, and can finish the port. Thank you once again for your patience. We’re looking forward to seeing you all on PBE, and for our 1.0 Release!
