Hello everyone,
Today is the 10-year Anniversary of Stardew Valley.
Back when Stardew first came out, I was worried it might be a flop. Now, 10 years later, it's one of the highest rated games on Steam, and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. It's been quite a journey.
Of course, none of this would be possible without you, the players. So I would like to thank all of you for playing this game, for being part of the community, your love for the characters, the billions of crops you've harvested, and even your screams of terror as the serpents swarm over you in the skull caverns.
There's been many free updates to the game over the years, and even now, there is a new major content update in the works--the 1.7 update.
With 1.7, My goal is to add more depth to various areas of the game that are somewhat lacking, without "bloating" the game with too many systems. More depth, but not necessarily more complexity. I'm confident you'll be happy with the result. However, there is no release date, it's just "in development". Thanks for your patience.
Oh, and you'll be able to marry Clint and Sandy.
I know you've all been dying to marry Clint... right?
...guys??
..........
Welp....
Anyway, thanks so much for supporting me and my game over the years. I hope Stardew continues to bring you many, many hours of fun & relaxation.
Your friend,
-Ape ːstardropː
