wait theres gonna be another update? i thought 1.5 was final

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 61 points 9 months ago

1.6 has been worked on for a while. Small content update but is going to make modding easier or more robust. 🤞

It looks like it's gonna be one of the biggest updates so far. With new festivals, new dialogue options and so on.

I've been meaning to play it for a while but this major update may finally push me to just like it did with Cyberpunk

I've been playing and replaying it since its original PC-only release in 2016. I remember being so excited about a new game finally improving on thr Harvest Moon formula. I think it's safe to say that today it has completely surpassed other games in the genre. The freedom and variety of tasks in the game has since enticed me towards further replays as well. It's so inspiring how passionate Barone has been towards his creation in the long run too.

From what I've seen it seems a bit more targeted at teens and adults then kids and that's kind of what I wanted Harvest Moon to be to begin with so I'm pretty excited to play it.

Also generally the added depth and how fleshed out it seems

It encapsulates some whimsy and magical elements which have always been underdeveloped in other similar games. Filled with mystery, easter eggs and constant progress and discovery. The relationship elements are a lot more mature than Harvest Moon as well. Deals with some of the grit and consequences of living in reality. All packaged together superbly.

Not a whole lot is official but that’s what I have gleaned from any announcement.

Pray he does not change it again.

ConcernedApe thought so, too ;) He works on Stardew his whole game development career. It is difficult to stop trying to improve the game and let your baby go after so long.
