Stardew Valley’s 1.7 patch goes to be a lot larger than anybody most likely expects, and that is accounting for the reality that almost all Stardew Valley patches find yourself being larger than anybody expects. In a new interview with IGN, creator Eric Barone listed a handful of options coming in the update, and considered one of them solutions an oft-made demand from Stardew Valley die-hards: make children attention-grabbing.
Stardew Valley children—ie, the children you increase your self, not the diminutive NPCs roaming round city—are very boring. They only stroll round your own home and do not do a lot else. They do not develop, and they’ve few calls for. They’re fairly not like actual children.
“What I will say with out possibly being too particular is that with this update, considered one of the issues we’re attempting to do is… Nicely, there’s a fashionable fan request, which has to do with the children, attempting to make the children a little more attention-grabbing,” Barone mentioned. “So I am attempting to do one thing with that, however there’s a whole lot of different issues in the update as nicely that nobody’s actually requested for, however I believe folks will admire it.”
One other confirmed new function is two new marriage candidates. (Krobus, anybody?) Barone additionally talked about the potential for a farm map editor “so you can principally make your individual,” although he is not sure but whether or not it will really materialise in 1.7.
“As a result of with each update, it is conventional to add a new farm kind,” Barone mentioned. “When the recreation first got here out, there was simply customary farm, that was it. After which 1.1, I added 4 totally different farms or one thing. After which with each update, there’s been one added. What if we opened this as much as the neighborhood and it was like now you can press an additional button, go right into a browser and have a look at everybody’s farm creation? That now provides nearly infinite replayability to Stardew Valley. So I am interested by methods to make the recreation more simply infinitely replayable with out the use of AI. That is by no means going to occur.”
As Andy Chalk reported again in December, Barone has already vaguely confirmed “some more character/social stuff” and that “it is also conventional to add a new farm kind”. However as all the time, the full scale of 1.7 will not be clear till simply earlier than launch.
