Edit (6:16 PST, 4/6): quick fix for Harvey's bugged 4-heart event.

With version 1.06, the first steps are taken to improving marriage in Stardew Valley! Each spouse now has a unique dialogue sheet, and leaves the house at least once a week to visit town or take a walk. In short, they retain a lot more of their unique "personality" after marriage.

Changelog:

• Added unique dialogues for all spouses.
  
• Spouses now leave the house on mondays.
  
• Value of most animal products increased.
  
• Holly is now poisonous.
  
• Missing events problem shouldn't happen anymore.
  
• Minor bug/grammar/graphics fixes.

Note: animal product prices and edibility of Holly will only take effect on items generated after the update. items that already existed before updating will still have the old prices/edilbility.

There will be more marriage improvements to come. Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Edit: uploaded another quick patch that should fix the problem where spouses had a speech bubble but no speech, and also the farm rampage.

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!
