Pelican City is getting extra love

After greater than seven years, Stardew Valley remains to be bringing in new gamers. With its charming and retro look, chill vibe, and host of actions to partake in, it offers a bit of one thing completely different that few standard video games nowadays can supply: a really unwinding expertise. And it was all made by one individual.

It’s not stunning that it’s thought of by many to be one of many biggest indie video games to return out in recent times. Now, the developer – Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone – has introduced what’s coming within the 1.6 replace. Whereas this subsequent replace shall be bringing modifications for modders, it’s good to see there’s some content material coming to the sport itself.

A submit on their Twitter web page lays out roughly what you may count on within the subsequent main patch. For one factor, there’s going to be a brand new pageant (no particulars about what it’ll be, although), some new objects, additional dialogue, some secrets and techniques, and the “???” on the backside of the record implies there’s much more within the pipeline.

Fishing is the place it’s at

I have to confess, I’ve solely simply began stepping into Stardew Valley not too long ago. After only a few hours, it’s straightforward to see why it’s such a preferred sport. Whether or not it’s fishing within the river, diving deep into caves, or tending to crops, what ConcernedApe has achieved for the indie neighborhood is give us a contemporary tackle such classics as Harvest Moon (which Stardew Valley was partly impressed by).

At the moment, we don’t know when model 1.6 shall be rolling out, however hopefully, it’ll be quickly. Barone can be stated to be engaged on a brand new venture known as Haunted Chocolatier, which they’ve been teasing since 2021. There’s no method to inform whether or not it is going to be capable of prime Stardew Valley, however the brand new sport seems to be on pause for a bit whereas the subsequent replace for Stardew is being labored on.
