Well, maybe take that with a pinch of salt. Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s upcoming work on the charming farming life-style sim gained’t comprise the sum of all issues. But that’s what the Stardew Valley developer has begun calling the 1.Four replace, and he’s not precisely fallacious. From fishponds to marriage, and dozens of significant little high quality of life tweaks in between, little or no goes to waste when Stardew Valley’s subsequent main patch hits. Whenever that’s, after all.
We’ve recognized a couple of issues about Stardew’s long-anticipated massive 1.Four replace for some time now. Fishponds, and the aquatic economic system that comes with them, have been proven off simply final month. We additionally know you’ll not longer should share a bank account in multiplayer, however you may share a brand new Four Corners map designed expressly for multi-farm mundanity.
In conversation with USGamer, Barone introduced that an overhaul to married life is coming – enhancements to a system he hears gamers typically really feel is slightly half-baked proper. The establishment of marriage as a basically flawed entity, you say? Ah, Barone, now you’re talking my language.
That’s an terrible lot of stuff to cram into one replace. But there’s much more moreover, as Barone defined that no stone might be left unturned by the 1.Four replace.
“I’ve been unofficially calling 1.4 the “everything” replace as a result of it touches just about each facet of the game indirectly or one other. One of my main objectives was so as to add in quite a lot of “quality of life” options that make the game extra handy and easy to play.”
“There are some really simple things that were missing from the game that really improve the experience, like being able to press TAB on PC to switch from one row of your inventory to the next, or to be able to hover over an item and get an indication as to whether it’s required for any of the community center bundles or not.”
Altogether, Barone believes 1.Four will convey “a whole new level of polish” to Stardew Valley. He desires you to log in and surprise the way you ever performed the game earlier than the replace. Given that there’s nonetheless no launch date in sight for 1.4, we’ll simply should take care of the game because it stands.
Sorry, Eric. Take on a regular basis you want.
