Sun Haven News

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:
