Mac Saves Issue and Cross Platform Cloud Saving

Hey everyone,

We've just made a change today that allows Steam Cloud Saves to now transfer across all devices. If you have multiple Windows and Mac devices, all your saves should now be available across all of your devices (as long as you have Steam Cloud Saving enabled, which should be the default for all Steam users)!

Unfortunately for some Mac Operating Systems, this does involve the save folder moving, meaning that your save file temporarily might not be showing up in game anymore. If you experience this issue, don’t worry, your save file is not deleted or gone!

To fix this issue, please follow these steps:

Go to /Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/Library/Application Support/com.PixelSproutStudios.SunHaven and copy your Saves folder
Paste your saves folder into /Users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/Library/Application Support/Pixel Sprout Studios/Sun Haven

Notes:

If you are having trouble finding the folder, please use the Finder -> Go To Folder, and try typing the folders above.
If you aren't seeing some of the folders, press “CMD+ Shift + .” to view hidden folders.

This should fix your missing saves and return them to normal. Making this move also allows your old saves to make use of the Steam Cloud Saves feature going forward if you’d also like to play on other devices now!.

Thanks everyone for your patience as we continue to improve Sun Haven. We’re sorry that this improvement involves manual work on your end, and in the future, we will try to make it so these types of changes are made automatically for all operating systems.

If you run into any issues at all, please let us know in the #report-bugs channel in our Discord server.

Farming sim Sun Haven adds teleportation and speeds up the early game

One of the biggest games like Stardew Valley on Steam, Sun Haven offers a vast fantasy world full of magic and monsters. It features four dramatically distinct biomes each playing host to their own unique items and recipes, 23 potential marriage candidates, and a colossal selection of farming and crafting options at your disposal. Now, developer Pixel Sprout Studios is responding to community feedback with another big quality-of-life feature and some additional improvements.

Micropatch 1.5.2 and Portrait Revision

Hi everyone, it’s Bruce!

We just released another micropatch that is live now on Steam for Windows, Steam Deck, and Mac! We’re still working on fixes and improvements behind the scenes, and this micropatch addresses some specific community-reported bugs and feedback from the last 24 hours.

First of all, we want to thank you for your feedback on the new portrait edits to some romanceable characters in Patch 1.5. As we’re getting closer to finalizing the last of the content for the Nintendo Switch release, we’re working on tying up any loose ends, and that includes any changes that have to be made that could impact Sun Haven’s intended game rating. Some players have also reported that they felt the portraits were not very family friendly, so we leaned on the safe side to ensure Sun Haven remains family friendly for all ages and players, on all platforms.

However, due to the community’s feedback, the previously adjusted portraits have now been reverted so our beloved characters are now back to looking exactly how you remember them! It’s always hard to find a balance of exactly what players want, but we’re doing our best to try and make everyone happy. We read everything in Discord and on all social platforms, and we hope you’ll continue to share your feedback and suggestions with us!

In addition to the portraits going back to their originals, we heard your feedback on the new WIP portraits, and we will no longer be moving forward with the new style, even with potential edits.

At the end of the day, we’re all people who love Sun Haven, and it’s heartwarming to see the passion this community has for the game we all love. Our next update will be full of community suggestions, quality of life changes, and tons of bug fixes.

Now, let’s take a look at the changes in this micropatch:
