[b]Happy Holidays Everyone![/b] It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven! We have the perfect present, just in time for the holidays- [b]Patch 0.7: Seasons is here![/b] We mentioned in our last Dev Blog that it would be coming later this month, and here we are! [b]Patch 0.7: Seasons is now Live.[/b] This patch brings [b]4 new seasons to Sun Haven.[/b] Depending on the time of the year, the environment and characters of Sun Haven will now change to match. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e66WEqT.gif[/img] Seasons have been heavily requested by fans, and we’re excited to finally be able to bring seasonal romanceable character sprites, portraits, seasonal crops, and more. While we’ve wanted to release this update earlier in the patch lineup, putting our patches in this particular order was the most efficient for us, by far. Thank you for waiting and trusting in us to make the right priority calls for the studio, and for Sun Haven. Going forward per our [url=https://trello.com/b/1cqCSkMp/roadmap]Roadmap[/url], we will be releasing a followup Seasonal patch early next year to release more events and seasonal recipes. From there, we’ll finally move on to our [b]1.0 Release, which should be coming in the next few months.[/b] While there will always be more work to do on Sun Haven (and yes, we will have patches after 1.0) the team feels like we’ve approached a product that we’re proud to call the full, finished game for release.
