Hey Everyone! [b]It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven![/b] I have some great news, [b]Patch 0.8: Events and Romance is now available on Steam![/b] This patch has been in the works for just over 2 months, making it one of our fastest patches to date. We managed to get in a lot of new content, improve upon old features, and add some content that has been highly requested by you all. There are [b]4 new seasonal events added to Sun Haven[/b], the Music Festival, Summer Barbeque, Halloween, and Winter Festival. These events offer unique foods, clothes, pets, and furniture sets that you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the game. So, be sure to save up your money before heading into any events, and join in the festivities for some cool rewards! [img]https://i.imgur.com/1jwopf7.gif[/img] [i]Wow, these are some spooktastic costumes![/i] Along with that, Sun Haven just got a bit craftier! It’s been our plan to update Nel’Vari and Withergate to feel more full. So, between all 3 towns, we have added 21 brand-new crafting tables, with hundreds of more items to craft. These new Withergate and Nel’Vari-specific tables use new resources that can only be found in each respective region, and go into new armor pieces, a craftable mount, and more! Now, you can spend the day (or weeks) in the different regions, scouring the forests to find new trees, rocks, and breakable items to score some of these new craftable items. Also, you should even check the waters around Sun Haven… who knows what new creatures may be lurking beneath the waves. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yXARfFX.gif[/img] [i]Ack! Is that a fish or a Fish-sicle?![/i] Those of you with existing saved games can find the new Withergate and Nel’Vari Crafting Tables for sale at their respective General Stores, while new saves will now start with these tables on their Withergate and Nel’Vari farms. Be sure to check them out for some amazing new recipes! And all of that is just a taste of what's to come!
