Hello everyone, I hope you had a great weekend, and I hope you're enjoying Stardew Valley so far!

I know there have been a few bugs and issues with the game, and even some updates I made that broke things (hopefully it's all fixed now!). I'd like to apologize to anyone who has encountered problems with the game thus far. You can be sure that I'm actively listening to all your bug reports & feedback, and I'll continue to work my hardest to address every known issue.

I'm also very excited at the prospect of adding new content in the future (as well as Multiplayer). I have lots of ideas of my own, and I've also heard some great ideas from others. Let's make this an active community together!

The future is looking very bright!

• The game now properly saves on level-up nights.
  
• Eating skill food and then going to bed on a level-up night works properly now.
  
• Fixed problem where completing the Crafts Room while standing in certain locations causes your character to get stuck.
  
• Player character should now walk correctly while in a cutscene after drinking coffee.
  
• Removed an item duplication exploit.
  
• Forage items should no longer spawn in the woods above the beach.
  
• Fixed Crab Pot problem (again)
  
• Fixed exploding armchair bug.
  
• Relaxing in the spa with your menu up no longer restores energy.

• Debris should no longer spawn in the pathway between farm & forest.
  
• Fixed disappearing tapper problem.

After years of development, Stardew Valley is finally here!

I'm proud of the game and I think the fun-factor keeps growing the more you play it. There's a huge amount of content to discover. Something new is always waiting around the next corner.

"Just... one... more... day...!"

If you have any cool screenshots to share please do it! It's a lot of fun to see what kind of farms everyone comes up with.

Also, check out the Official Stardew Valley Wiki
if you need some info or want to contribute.

Thanks for playing Stardew Valley!
