Patch 1.2: Romance and Barns Update
Hey Everyone!
It’s Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven.
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!
The new DLC mounts are adorable!
[h2]Barns and Animals Update:[/h2]
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.
These animals will be a lot more comfortable in my upgraded barn!
[h2]New Romanceable Characters[/h2]
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 new Romanceable Characters, we’ve seen a lot of player suggestions for some more beloved characters to become romanceable, and we’re excited to share that we have several more Romanceables coming later this year. Stay tuned!
Look at them all, so cute!
[h2]Farm Building Customization[/h2]
Sheds are a brand new way to customize your farm and add a bit more storage! Sheds can be crafted at a Construction Table along with the different kinds of shed skin kits which can let you change how the exteriors look. These sheds have fully customizable interiors as well, so you can store items, create role play spaces, match them to your farm, or even live in them if you want!
You can also have up to 4 on your farm at once, so you can set them up anywhere and make your own story.
These are perfect to make your adventure match your farm!
[h2]Player House Customization[/h2]
A brand new store has opened up in Sun Haven, the Hardware Store! Here you can buy individual pieces of customization for your house to change its exterior look and appearance. Lewis, the new store owner, is selling over 135 unique roofs, walls, windows, doors, and patios, so be sure to stop by and take a look at what he has for sale!
This feature has already been receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback, and we are happy to announce that we’ll be adding even more House customization in a future patch as well. So if you have any suggestions or ideas for house exteriors you’d like to see, please let us know over on our Discord!
Note: The house customization is only available for your Sun Haven house, and will not affect your Nel’Vari Tree House or Withergate Apartment.
Mix pieces to make new combinations or stick with a matching set!
We are excited to announce 4 new DLC packs will be available on Steam very soon, including a FREE Snaccoon Costume DLC! (Yes, that’s right, it’s free!)
These packs are quite a bit larger than the ones we released last patch, so buckle your seatbelts, or should I say, raise the sails for these new packs! Let’s take a look:
[h3]Free Snaccoon Costume DLC[/h3] contains a full Snaccoon outfit - hat, shirt, pants, gloves, and a tail!
Just two Snaccoons hanging around!
[h3]Set Sail DLC[/h3] contains over 40 items, including a furniture set, 8 new outfits, 2 mounts, and 3 pets! This Pirate-Themed pack will put the ARRR in are you kidding me with how cool these mounts are?! Ride on the back of a Parrot, pet a monkey, and make your farm a swashbuckler’s paradise!
[h3]Mushy DLC[/h3] contains over 40 items, including a furniture set, 15 new outfits, 1 mount, and 1 pet. This Mushroom-Themed pack will make you a fun-gi with the perfect cottage-core vibes. Ride a Mushroom Frog, dress up in the coziest mushroom-inspired clothes, and pet your very own Booshroom!
[h3]Ocean Shores DLC[/h3] contains over 30 items, including a furniture set, 7 new outfits, and 1 mount. This Beach-Themed pack will be sure to make you ready for summer with clothes perfect for the hot weather! You can, mermaid-ify your farm, ride on the back of a manatee, and enjoy the season with this DLC.
Thanks for reading so far! We hope you enjoy the rest of the patch notes in your free Snaccoon onesies. Now let’s get into the meat of the patch notes:
