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.

We’re excited to announce that Patch 1.2: Romance and Barns Update is now available on Steam! This patch includes upgradeable barns and new farm animals for Nel’Vari and Withergate, 3 new Romanceable Characters, decorative sheds, exterior house customization, updated UI, overnight cutscene events, some new cosmetic DLC packs, and more! Disclaimer: the patch is currently available for all languages, but new items and text will only be in English for a short period of time until we can get it translated! Let’s jump right in! https://i.imgur.com/J5TNjEZ.gif The new DLC mounts are adorable! Barns and Animals Update: As we talked about in the sneak peek, previously players have only been able to have four Tier 1 barns in Sun Haven. This patch, you can now upgrade your barns all the way up to Tier 3 allowing them to look cooler, have more interior space, and hold more animals! Each upgrade to each barn gives an additional 8 slots for barn animals. Additionally, there are also some brand new regional barns - you can now place (and upgrade!) up to 4 Elven Barns in Nel’Vari, or even own a Sewer Barn in Withergate! To go along with all the newly upgraded barns, we’ve added some more brand-new animals and creatures that you can buy for your farm to help you collect resources and other items. There are 5 new Nel’Vari animals that can be purchased from Fonzo, and 8 new Withergate animals that can be purchased from Ur, a new Vendor in the Withergate Sewer. https://i.imgur.com/hdY3SGi.gif These animals will be a lot more comfortable in my upgraded barn! New Romanceable Characters Three new Romanceable characters have been added as well! You will have the option to romance and marry two brand new characters, and one you may recognize from before... : Kai, The Wayward Naga - Since washing up on shore in Sun Haven, Kai may not remember much about his past, but with your help, he might discover more about himself. Vivi, The Bounty Hunter - A klutzy assassin out for the high bounty on your heart head. Now with getting to know her, maybe you’ll find out who placed the bounty… Wesley, The Elven Historian - This familiar face has found commonality with many people from our community, but can you get him to open his heart? Each new Romanceable has their own unique dates, cutscenes, dialogue, keepsakes, and wedding rings! These characters also have certain features needed to be able to unlock them. For Kai, you’ll need to reach Summer Year 1. For Wesley, you’ll need to complete the Commonality questline in Nel’Vari, and for Vivi, you’ll need to complete the Glorite Miners encounter in Withergate (yes, the one in Withergate!). So be sure to keep your eyes open, talk to other NPCs, and continue through the main quests to find these new characters! (Also note: Wesley's Dialogue is now reset!) For those of you who are achievement hunters, these new characters also bring new Steam Achievements! Since announcing the three ne...Patch 1.2 on PBE Now!Jun 20, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! It's Bruce, from Pixel Sprout Studios.

Over the last couple of years, there’s been hundreds of passionate and thirsty player requests for us to make Wesley a romanceable character ever since we first released him. We’re stoked to finally be able to bring him out from his tradition-loving shell. And don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about our beloved original 15 romanceable characters! We’ve added unique beach outfits and beach portraits during the Summer BBQ Festival AND we’ve brought unique wedding outfits and wedding portraits to the Wedding Ceremony! https://i.imgur.com/zEPqWgt.png Looking hot, maybe too hot, Claude!

To go along with our sale, we’re excited to announce that our first DLC Packs are live now on Steam! You can purchase Dreamy & Spooky Pet Packs, or Sweet & Wicked Mount Packs. A lot of you were asking about where to find the pink cat mount over the week, and that’s our Strawberry Frosting Mount in the Sweet Mounts Pack! https://i.imgur.com/SXGY6Mz.gif Cats, drakes, and bunnies, oh my!

If you have other DLC suggestions you’d like to see for Sun Haven in the future, please let us know over on our Discord or Reddit! That’s all for now, we hope you enjoy! Bruce, Director Pixel Sprout Studios Patch 1.1 MicropatchApr 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! It's Bruce, from Pixel Sprout Studios. First off, thank you and welcome to our new and returning players this past week! We love to see everyone enjoying Sun Haven, and we’re so glad you’ve loved the 1.1 update. This patch we tried some changes to make controller better for all the new Sun Haven who were having trouble with casting spells. However, we've heard your feedback (mostly from returning players), that the new cast system was just simply too slow. As such, we're releasing this micropatch to address that community feedback, as well as fix up a few things we had on our list. This post is to keep the community updated to make sure you’re all in the loop. and to make it very clear that we’ve heard your feedback in these past 24 hours. Now, we are happy to announce that these changes are now live: Patch 1.1 Micropatch Notes Controls for casting spells are being reverted back to the original quickcast system Controller controls are being reverted back to the original bindings Walking into the Altar Room with 7 or more altars completed will trigger the Epilogue quest (which means you won’t have to complete all 9 altars!) If you chose combat with Dynus, you’ll have to defeat him again to trigger the Epilogue quest (but you can do this with invincibility on, if you’d like) Elios’ glorious snout has returned from a temporary vacation Guava Berry Seeds are now going to be sold in the correct season of summer Guava Berry Seeds can now be grown in the summer and fall For controller, spells will be hard bound back to the D-Pad for now in order to make sure that all controller players get these changes. The D-Pad will not be editable/resettable, for now. Thanks for reading! Please restart your Steam to make sure the changes apply. We hope you all enjoy! Come early next week, we will deploy another micropatch (likely without any patch notes as it is expected to be rather small) to fix up some other minor issues, including the End of Day Screen not working in certain situations, as well as some language translation issues in a small number of languages! :) Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone! -Bruce, Director at Pixel Sprout Studios Patch 1.1: Epilogue, Translations, and CustomizationApr 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven. We’re excited to announce that Patch 1.1: Epilogue, Translations, and Customization is now available on Steam! This patch includes Sun Haven’s Epilogue to the story, 15 new language translations, more player customization, more pets, new mounts, updated RNPC interiors, and Volume 2 of the Sun Haven Soundtrack. Sun Haven will also be on sale for two weeks starting tomorrow morning! Let’s jump right into the new patch! https://i.imgur.com/3crK3BB.gif What in the world happened to Wesley!? Epilogue Every epic story deserves an equally epic ending, and that’s just what we’ve got for you all in Patch 1.1! Once you have handled ever-spreading darkness from Dynus, Sun Haven can finally celebrate in peace. Though it seems your job is not done yet, because there’s unfinished business in Withergate and Nel’Vari that requires action! With the help of some old friends, you might just be able to make things right with the Elven Village and Monster City. Note: If you're continuing a game from a previous save file, players who have already fought Dynus will need to fight him again, and players who chose to complete 7 altars will need to complete the final 2 in order to trigger the new Epilogue Quest. Translations and Localization Thanks to the additional help from our Sun Haven Discord community, we’re ready to introduce translations to Sun Haven! Players will now be able to change their language in the settings menu to the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Dutch, Danish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish! We want to give a big thank you to PotatoePet, one of our awesome community members for the help. This was a massive undertaking that has taken several months, and is only made possible thanks to the hard work by PotatoePet. In collaboration with our programmers, we were able to get this mod integrated into the vanilla version of the game so that players worldwide can now enjoy the story and entire game of Sun Haven in their own languages. We are incredibly excited to bring our game into the hands of players everywhere, and are super thankful for you PotatoePet, and the rest of our awesome community! We will be continuing to bring even more translated languages to Sun Haven in the future as well, so let us know which languages you’d like to see Sun Haven in next! Note: A lot of these translations are computer-generated, so there may be inconsistencies or inaccuracies due to limitations. https://i.imgur.com/pU4Jral.gif So many more options to pick from! Even More Character Customization In the 1.0 patch, we introduced tons of new customization options for all races.

First off, thank you and welcome to all of our new players this last week! The support is overwhelming and we're incredibly grateful and excited to see all the new folks playing our beloved game. As a game dev, watching people enjoy your game is just absolutely heartwarming. Thank you!! Now, to quickly get in to the post, we just released a micropatch to address some of the bugs from the release! Some of our patches are "ghost patches", which mean we micropatch some bugs without posting an actual patch notes here on Steam. Any time you see that blue "download" button before you play, that's us routinely patching in some quick fixes! Other times though (like now!), we release some minor changes with a Small Game Updates post like this one. These posts are to communicate those minor changes to the community to make sure y'all are in the loop, usually if we make more than just a couple small changes. In this case, we want to make it clear we've heard your feedback on post-release bugs. And now, it's time to deliver some good news: Patch 1.0.2 Micropatch Notes - Save Files are now compressed making it easier for people to send them back and forth, as well as load into multiplayer games easier - Steam cloud saves should now automatically save progress cross-platform between Windows and Steam Deck - Fixed many issues with character customization colors and options not working as intended - Fixed an issue with difficulties connecting to large save files - Fixed an issue with Backups not being compressed - Fixed an issue with Skateboards in the Nel'Vari Mount Store - Fixed an issue with Stormelon not appearing at the Farming Store until year 2 - Fixed an issue with Summer Farm corner tiles layering improperly - Fixed an issue with Scarecrows not working properly after a ghost micropatch - Fixed an issue with Tree layering on certain maps like the Quarry Transition - Fixed more typos (Sun Haven has 700,000+ words, so we'll be continuing to fix these lol) - And various other small bugs! Thanks for reading! Another ghost micropatch will likely come out early next week to address any other issues found over the weekend. For now, make sure to restart your steam in order to make sure you get the changes, and from there, go on and enjoy the game as normal! Have fun, and have an awesome weekend everyone! Cheers! Bruce, Director at Pixel Sprout Studios Patch 1.0: Museum and CustomizationMar 10, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven. Today is the day! The team is happy to announce that we are finally releasing Patch 1.0: Museum and Customization on Steam! This is our full release patch, which means we're packing tons of polish, as well as the Museum and Character Customization that we’ve been working on for a while! In fact, we’ve more than doubled some of the character customization options, like hair! Let's jump in! https://i.imgur.com/DCq3EYl.gif Character Customization The world of Sun Haven is diverse, home to many different races of people that encompass many different walks of life. Whether your Demon is a battle-hungry warrior or a gothy partygoer, Sun Haven reflects many aesthetics. To expand this even further, we’ve added new customization options so you can make your character to your precise taste. There are many new hair options, new customization options for races, and new options to disable certain customizations (such as wings and horns!). There are also new color customizations for things like Angel halos and Amari ears as well. Create a new character or visit the salon in Sun Haven to explore the vast expansion of player customization! The Museum The gilded doors of the Sun Haven museum have finally been opened. Its vast halls of histories and knowledge are waiting to enlighten curious visitors. But there’s one problem… it’s missing all of the displays! You’ll need to help Covington, the jovial curator of the museum, fill out the missing displays and prepare the museum for a proper opening. It’s a good thing you happen to be a magic-wielding adventurer with a penchant for collecting ancient treasure. Your generous contributions won’t go without reward, of course. Complete displays by finding and donating collections of different item types, earning wonderful and unique rewards for your hard work. https://i.imgur.com/YnKfMKB.gif ____ NOTE: Returning players who selected Dog and Cat Amari will have to revisit the salon in order to re-select their character customization for certain things like ears (as we needed to change how some of the customization worked in order to have more options). Patch Summary: Added 200+ new character customization options across all races (each option comes in 12 colors, so there are over 3000+ new options available). Added a few new pets (more coming soon). Museum with 225 items to collect, including new unique items and rewards Revamped multiple interiors all around the game with new art. Everything in Withergate now buys and sells in Tickets (i.e., Seeds). Everything in Nel’Vari now buys and sells in Mana Orbs. (i.e., Seeds). All seeds in Withergate and Nel’vari now have a higher interest rate than Sun Haven seeds to account for intended game pacing. All WG and NV Items have their prices adjusted to make the beginning section of these areas more difficult, but easier later on. Added new settings to improve quality of life. Added polish to hundreds of things. Sun Haven Patch 1....Patch 0.8: Events and RomanceMar 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Everyone! It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven! I have some great news, Patch 0.8: Events and Romance is now available on Steam! This patch has been in the works for just over 2 months, making it one of our fastest patches to date. We managed to get in a lot of new content, improve upon old features, and add some content that has been highly requested by you all. There are 4 new seasonal events added to Sun Haven, the Music Festival, Summer Barbeque, Halloween, and Winter Festival. These events offer unique foods, clothes, pets, and furniture sets that you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the game. So, be sure to save up your money before heading into any events, and join in the festivities for some cool rewards! https://i.imgur.com/1jwopf7.gif Wow, these are some spooktastic costumes! Along with that, Sun Haven just got a bit craftier! It’s been our plan to update Nel’Vari and Withergate to feel more full. So, between all 3 towns, we have added 21 brand-new crafting tables, with hundreds of more items to craft. These new Withergate and Nel’Vari-specific tables use new resources that can only be found in each respective region, and go into new armor pieces, a craftable mount, and more! Now, you can spend the day (or weeks) in the different regions, scouring the forests to find new trees, rocks, and breakable items to score some of these new craftable items. Also, you should even check the waters around Sun Haven… who knows what new creatures may be lurking beneath the waves. https://i.imgur.com/yXARfFX.gif Ack! Is that a fish or a Fish-sicle?! Those of you with existing saved games can find the new Withergate and Nel’Vari Crafting Tables for sale at their respective General Stores, while new saves will now start with these tables on their Withergate and Nel’Vari farms. Be sure to check them out for some amazing new recipes! And all of that is just a taste of what's to come! There is plenty more that we’ve added to this patch - read up on everything new to Sun Haven below! ___ Patch Summary: - Summer Music Festival - Summer Barbecue - Halloween - Winter Festival - Seasonal Event Quests - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Mounts - Summer, Fall, and Winter Armor Sets - Spouses Now Move Into the Sun Haven Farm House - 3rd Spicier Dates - Updated Romanceable Likes and Dislikes - Unique Gift Dialogue for all Romanceable Characters - Birthdays - Crafting Boss - Fishing Boss - Unique Withergate and Nel’ Vari Foragables and Resources - New and Updated Withergate and Nel’ Vari Crafting Tables - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Sun Haven Fish - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Sun Haven Snaccoons - Rotating Merchants in Sun haven - Rebalanced 500+ Items ___ Sun Haven Patch 0.8: Seasons: - 4 New Seasonal Events: Music Festival, Summer Barbecue, Halloween, and Winter Festival - Event Pets, Furniture Sets, Food, and Clothes - Updated Seasonal Merchants - Spring, Fall, and Winter Armor Sets - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Mounts - Spring, Summer, F...1.0 AnnouncementFeb 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, it’s Bruce from Pixel Sprout Studios.

It’s finally that time. The big pieces of content for the 1.0 Release will be the Museum, and updated character customization! For all you completionists out there, now is the time! https://i.imgur.com/gMF4bDd.png A sneak peek at the Culture Section at the Museum! While we are going to be releasing these two big things, the majority of our time will be going towards bug fixes, optimizations, and polish. If you run into any bugs after the release of Patch 0.8, please pop into discord to share them with us. From Wednesday, February 21st until the final build for the release, we will be extra active in our discord, as we’ll be trying to polish up everything we can. For these next few weeks, please feel free to come by and post anything you want to see fixed in the #community-suggestions channel. We’ll add it to our running list of things to polish and fix up. Basically, until the release build is finalized, we’ll be around every single day to collect and try to solve any problems the community reports, so don’t be shy! (keep in mind we will do our best, but we aren’t going to be able to get to everything!) https://i.imgur.com/YrGxBP9.gif ME HUNGRY TO SQUISH BUGS... Our Early Access Journey Since the beginning of early access, we’ve worked with the community to implement 140+ more features over 8 major updates to the game. We are incredibly thankful for everyone's help during Early Access. Thank you for all your suggestions, and feedback. While it took an additional 14 months in Early Access compared to what we initially intended, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve put in a ton of hard work to make Sun Haven a game we’re proud of. Sun Haven is a labor of love, and with so many people (ourselves included) with such high hopes for the game, it’s been an immense amount of work to live up to the great things players expect from us. At the same, we’d also like to apologize to any folks out there who wished that the 1.0 Release would have come sooner. We’re proud of all the work and improvements to the game we made, but we also recognize that it was longer than we expected. All things said and done, we’re definitely ready to call Sun H...Soundtrack and a 2nd Game!Feb 10, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone, it’s Bruce from Pixel Sprout Studios. TLDR: We’re releasing a Sun Haven Soundtrack! And a second game. (dun dun dunnnn) (The game is called Sun Down if you're itching to see. More information down below!) We are excited to announce that Volume 1 of the Sun Haven Soundtrack is available now on Steam! This soundtrack contains 78 songs, which is almost 2 hours long. It's also made from our master tracks, meaning what you are hearing is exactly what our sound designer, Alex Wiedel, hears when he writes these songs for Sun Haven. https://i.imgur.com/6pJPc3S.png (Soundtrack Vol. 2, containing all of the Nel’Vari and Withergate music will release with our 1.0 Release) As an indie game studio, we don’t always have the luxury of having multiple people to help with everything. So over the last three years, Alex has written each one of these songs practically solo. (what a champ!) … And to speak honestly about it, the Sun Haven soundtrack is just one of the things I’m most proud of at this studio. It is simply just our best work. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2305660/Sun_Haven_Soundtrack_Vol_1/ Please enjoy. GAME 2 ANNOUNCEMENT 🌱 I am happy to announce that Pixel Sprout Studios will be releasing its second game, Sun Down. We will be releasing the game on Friday, February 24th! Sun Down is a brand new game set in the Sun Haven Universe, where Farm Sim meets Action Roguelike. You’ll farm crops, collect pets, catch fish, mine ores, upgrade spells, and craft turrets to build a farm and survive hordes of monsters through 4 changing seasons. Simply put, if you enjoyed Sun Haven, you’ll definitely love Sun Down. https://i.imgur.com/UpEFyYE.png I mean come on… How can you not love these cute monsters!! Game Setting Sun Haven’s hero (that’s technically you) never arrived to stop Dynus, the Moon Dragon. As a result, in this timeline, Dynus has taken over both Withergate AND Sun Haven with hordes of monsters overrunning the lands. Now, you will play as Darius, the recently crowned Demon King of Withergate, or Lucia, Archmage of Sun Haven, to defend your farm and survive through countless waves of monsters at Sun Down! Wishlisting We’ve made Sun Down with players like you in mind, and we hope that all Sun Haven players will love this game as well. Please take a moment to grab a friend and wishlist Sun Down on Steam to support our studio. Even if you aren’t immediately interested in the title, please consider supporting us with a wishlist, as we will still be working hard to improve the game into something hopefully you’ll like even more, in the future. On top of this, Wishlists also tell Steam that our games are ones that the Steam community wants to see. So please help us reach a larger audience and help us have an awesome launch on February 24th! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2308360/Sun_Down/ This game has been a blast to work on, and is accomplishable thanks to some expansions to the team over the past few months.

Patch 0.7: Seasons is now Live. This patch brings 4 new seasons to Sun Haven. Depending on the time of the year, the environment and characters of Sun Haven will now change to match. https://i.imgur.com/e66WEqT.gif Seasons have been heavily requested by fans, and we’re excited to finally be able to bring seasonal romanceable character sprites, portraits, seasonal crops, and more. While we’ve wanted to release this update earlier in the patch lineup, putting our patches in this particular order was the most efficient for us, by far. Thank you for waiting and trusting in us to make the right priority calls for the studio, and for Sun Haven. Going forward per our Roadmap, we will be releasing a followup Seasonal patch early next year to release more events and seasonal recipes. From there, we’ll finally move on to our 1.0 Release, which should be coming in the next few months. While there will always be more work to do on Sun Haven (and yes, we will have patches after 1.0) the team feels like we’ve approached a product that we’re proud to call the full, finished game for release. https://i.imgur.com/dd1dz9h.png Looking nice and cozy in your winter sweater Liam!

This includes what's coming up for Patch 0.7: Seasons, Patch 0.8 Seasons pt. 2, and our Patch 1.0: Full Release.
