I’d prefer to consider that developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is having a blast tweeting out every day strains of Stardew Valley’s forthcoming 1.6 replace. It began with a stray patch be aware about fruit timber and has in a short time turn out to be a ritual for probably the most religious Stardew Valley gamers. Each time ConcernedApe has fired off one in all these patch be aware posts, lots of, if not hundreds, of gamers pontificate about how minor a change it’s, and the way grand it’s within the scheme of issues. To them, the miniscule adjustments being launched have seemingly been factors of frustration (in addition to inquiry) for years. 1.6’s promise to handle these tiny points when it drops on March 19 appears like a full-circle second for the developer and the neighborhood that’s fashioned round Stardew Valley.
The newest of those updates means that ConcernedApe is now doing pet house owners a strong. Pets in Stardew Valley are usually cute and loving, to the purpose of obstacle. They’ll usually stand or run immediately in your path, making for the cutest roadblocks. After the arrival of the 1.6 replace, they are going to be ever so barely simpler to shove to the facet, the place they’ll stay as pretty as ever.
Accordingly, the time that gamers spend pushing in opposition to the pet earlier than they relent and allow them to by is being lower from 1.5 seconds to .75 seconds. When you couldn’t stand to do this for a literal second, ConcernedApe has made it so that you simply don’t should now. In the event that they annoy you past that, I don’t know, perhaps simply don’t get a pet! Set up a mod that removes pet collision totally, in the event you really feel so inclined.
Talking of mods, Stardew’s 1.6 replace was initially supposed to be a mod-centric replace—one which’d particularly make modders’ lives simpler—however we’ve heard little or no about how precisely it’ll accomplish that. As an alternative, ConcernedApe has spent many of the yr for the reason that replace’s announcement including totally new content material, like a competition and new dialogue. There are different “secrets and techniques” they’ve refused to share, and now there’s apparently a number of tweaks that gamers have been begging for. If 1.6 is the final important patch that Stardew will get for some time, it’s going out with a bang.
As soon as Stardew’s 1.6 replace releases subsequent week, ConcernedApe will doubtless flip their full consideration again to its religious successor, the extra combat-focused Haunted Chocolatier, in addition to ultimately porting the replace to Stardew’s cellular and console variations. Perhaps then, I’ll sit down with the sport and study to find it irresistible like the parents in ConcernedApe’s replies.
