Sun Haven News

Hey 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!

What in the world happened to Wesley!?

[h3]Epilogue[/h3]
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.

[h3]Translations and Localization[/h3]
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.

So many more options to pick from!

[h3]Even More Character Customization[/h3]
In the 1.0 patch, we introduced tons of new customization options for all races. To expand our customization further, we’ve added new customization options for the Elf, Naga, Amari, and Elemental races that didn’t get as many new cosmetic updates in the last patch.

We have also added in even more hairstyles for most races, “none” options, and face accessories beyond just beards and mustaches. There are also over 25 brand new hairstyles to try out! Additionally, you can now select nothing in the place of many race features such as horns, halos, wings, and more; allowing even more options and combinations as you create your character. Along with that, you can also select new face customization for many races, including makeup, masks, headbands, tattoos, glasses, and more!

For those of you looking for something with a bit more bark, we have also added a lot of new pets to the Sun Haven, Nel’Vari, and Withergate Pet Stores. You can now find over 135 pets between the three cities! To go along with all of those new pets, there are also new mounts to buy that can accompany you on your adventures throughout Sun Haven, Nel’Vari, and Withergate!

• We made this change to address new players and controller players having a hard time aiming and using spells. We are trying this out in hopes to help those players out, and are looking for feedback on this. We are happy to revert these changes given that the community feels strongly that the old system was better (and we are also open to putting in the extra mile to add a settings option to keep both systems if the community wants both manual cast vs smart cast!)

Hey everyone! It's Bruce, from Pixel Sprout Studios.

Today we’ve got an update on the progress for Patch 1.1!

The team has currently released Patch 1.1 to the Public Beta Environment, and is making great progress on finalizing the patch for release this Friday, April 21st!

Its time to put an end to Dynus’ Darkness once and for all!

[h2] Epilogue: [/h2]
Every epic story deserves an equally epic ending, and that’s just what we’ve got for you all! Once you’ve handled the ever-spreading darkness from Dynus, Sun Haven can finally celebrate in peace. With the help of some old friends, you might just be able to make things right with the Elven Village and Monster City.

[h2] Translations: [/h2]

A long requested wig is coming in Patch 1.1- in a lot of colors!

[h2] Character Customization: [/h2]
In the 1.0 patch, we introduced tons of new customization options for all races. To expand our customization further in Patch 1.1, we’ve added new customization options for the Elf, Naga, Amari, and Elemental races that didn’t get as many new cosmetic updates in the last patch.

Hey all!

It's Bruce the Director at Pixel Sprout Studios.

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:


[h3]Patch 1.0.2 Micropatch Notes [/h3]

- 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

Hey 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!



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.




____


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).

• 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.

Hey 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!

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.

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!
