New Romanceable Characters

The three new romanceables are finally here! You will have the option to romance and marry two brand new characters, as well as another that you may have met already...

Shang, the Righteous Swordsman - Coming to Sun Haven with a mysterious mission, Shang spares words and forms bonds very carefully. Living under a personal code of strict honor, this swordsman may find himself forced to make a decisive choice in the fate of his future.

Miyeon, the Timid Angel - A new arrival in Sun Haven, Miyeon has moved to town with her accomplished parents. Living under the pressures of perfection, the anxious angel has quite the journey to spread her wings and fly.

Lucius, the Moon Attendant - The Attendants to the Moon are a special caste of Nel’Varians that exist outside the village’s normal livelihood. The Moon Elf Lucius has learned not to expect the companionship of outsiders, though this isn’t to say he isn’t hopeful…

Each new Romanceable has their own unique dates, cutscenes, dialogue, keepsakes, and wedding rings! These characters also have certain unlock requirements. Be sure to talk to other NPCs and continue through the main quests to meet these amazing new characters!

To unlock Shang, you’ll need to be on Day 8 or later, complete Peter’s A Special “Fish” quest, and then enter your farm to receive a quest that will lead you to Shang.

To unlock Miyeon, you’ll need to be on Day 11 or later, complete Solon’s Plan in Action quest, then enter the Town Hall to meet Miyeon.

To unlock Lucius, you’ll need to progress the main story and travel to Nel’Vari. His home can be found next to the Grand Tree.

For those of you who are achievement hunters, these new romanceables also bring new Steam Achievements!

We’re so happy to see all the excitement around the new Romanceable Characters. We’re excited to share that we have two more unannounced Romanceables coming later this year. Stay tuned for more information!

Now the seasons feel even more alive!

Farm Buildings

Who doesn’t love an organized farm? We’re excited to share that Patch 1.3 has over 10 brand-new Farm Structures, Buildings, and Crafting Stations. These structures can be used to help you process materials, store crafting stations, grow crops, or simply to help decorate your farm. These buildings include seasonal Greenhouses, Silos, Chicken Coops, Butterfly Gardens, Workshops, Ticket Counterfeiters, Mana Siphoners, and even Glorite Siphoners!

The seasonal Greenhouses can be used to plant crops from their respective seasons! You can have one of each season, and it even comes with its own built-in waterfall and farm area. The new Chicken Coop and Nel’Vari Butterfly Garden are mini barns that not only look beautiful, but they also increase your animal limit and can be used to house Chickens and Silk Moths inside. The new crafting tables are for all you troublemakers out there who have to resort to your own underhanded devices to create your own Tickets, Mana, and Glorite against the usual forest gathering method. These crafting tables are simple and don’t take many resources to gain extra currency!

We’ve also added 12 new Shed Skins to help you theme and decorate your farm just how you like it! Some of our favorites include the Beehive Shed, the Mushroom Shed, the Ghost Shed, the Pumpkin Shed, and the Cake Shed. Sheds now also have Night Lighting to brighten up your farm area in the evenings! Additionally, thanks to player feedback, we’ve increased the Shed limit from 4 total Sheds to 12 total Sheds. Now you can make even more creative farm layouts!

Speaking of building decorations, we’ve also added over 30 new House Customization Set options, which means you can mix and match hundreds of new combinations! Some of our favorites include the Cottage Core set, the Charming set, the Castle set, and the Log Cabin set. We can’t wait to see all of your new creations!

These shed nightlights will look amazing next to my Nel’Vari Butterfly Garden!

Player Birthdays:

Birthday parties and[/b] gifts? Yes please! You can now choose a birthday when creating a new character, or if you’re playing on an older save, you can change your birthday once at the Town Hall. On the morning of your chosen birthday, you’ll be visited by Ronald, the Sun Haven Tavern’s Barkeep. He’ll ask you to swing by the Tavern that day - if you decide to go, you’ll be able to celebrate your birthday surrounded by your friends and other invited guests.

Don’t forget to empty your inventory before you go! The more romanceable characters you befriend, the more people you’ll have at your party - which means you’ll get even more unique gifts at the end of your birthday celebration!

Cake, gifts, and a piñata? This is the best birthday ever!!

6 New DLC Packs:

We are excited to announce 6 new DLC packs will be available on Steam very soon!

Some of these packs are even larger than the ones we released last patch, so get ready for some amazing items! Let’s take a look:

The Trick or Treat Pack contains over 35 items, including a furniture set, 10 new outfits, 1 mount, and 1 pet. This spooky-themed pack will give you a cozy fall feeling year-round. Ride around on a ghost, have a mini ghost companion follow you around, and decorate your farm to look scary good!

The Spirit Petal Pack contains over 30 items, including a furniture set, 8 new outfits, 1 mount, and 1 pet. This fae-themed pack will give your farm a mystical touch. Ride around on a koi fish, tend to a fae spirit pet, and decorate your house to feel like it’s been touched by elemental energy itself!

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Pack contains over 45 items, including a furniture set, 5 new outfits, 1 mount, and 1 pet. This Rock ‘n’ Roll pack will give you all the gear you need to look the part as you shred through Sun Haven with musical power. Ride around on a punk-rock horse, pet a heavy metal rat, and show everyone that your Rock ‘n’ Roll interior design isn’t just a phase.

The Cyberpop Pack contains over 55 items, including a furniture set, 10 new outfits, 1 mount, and 5 pets. In this Cyberpop Pack you’ll find an assortment of outfits and gadgets to take you a century (or five) into the future. Ride around on a hoverboard, pet some robotic and cyber-academia creatures, and decorate your farm to feel like a futuristic paradise.

The Funky Monkey Pack contains 1 hat, 2 mounts, and 1 pet. This Funky Monkey Pack will give you an adorable collection of banana-themed items to help you get around Sun Haven in style. You’d be bananas not to like this pack!

The Dreamy Ram Pack contains 1 hat, 1 mount, and 1 pet. These are the cutest items on this side of the Sun Haven River! This Dreamy Ram Pack will give you the sweetest collection of dreamy creatures to accompany you on your adventures.

Check out all these new DLC Packs!
