Stardew Valley, one of our favouriteRPGsdespite coming out almost a decade ago, still has an attentive steward in the form of developer Eric Barone. Afterthe recent 1.6 mega-updateto the game, which added a whole bunch of stuff, Barone (better known in his developer form as ConcernedApe)Xeeted out a listof fixes in the now-available 1.6.3 update. This makes tweaks to things arising from 1.6 (many of them addressing moss, a new foraging item) and fixes bugs, one of which was causing ‘excess trash’ to be fished.
Most other fixes are to do with things like quest titles being too wide or item names being too long in shop menus, minor graphical issues, and things like that. But the adoption case just strikes me as being particularly nice. If you’re putting pets in your game, might as well make sure everyone can have one.
Previously said that 1.6 was going to make Stardew Valley “easier and more powerful to mod”, so I remain interested in seeing what the (already extremely healthy) Stardew modding community get up to. Meanwhile, we can presumably expect Barone to get back toHaunted Chocolatierat some point.
