Version 1.1 update details and post-launch update plans for Stardew Valley.

Hello everyone!

First, I'd like to thank you all so much for playing Stardew Valley. The game has been more successful than I ever imagined, and I'm very grateful to everyone for granting me this amazing opportunity. I can't say it enough- the community that's formed around this game is incredible... full of kind, talented people who have given Stardew Valley a life of it's own. It's really cool. heart

The last couple of months have been pretty wild for me. I released seven patches... with bug fixes, adjustments, and some new content here and there. In addition, I've been keeping up with interviews, business stuff, social media platforms, and helping people who are having issues with the game. In short, I've been extremely busy.

Toward the end of April the launch buzz had cooled off enough that I could afford to take a short break. It's been nice... I've actually played some other games for the first time in a long while, which was fun (Final Fantasy IX, Factorio, Age Of Empires II) . I feel refreshed, and I'm ready to get back to work!

First, here is a list of what's planned for the future of Stardew Valley:

Version 1.1 - A substantial content update
Co-op Multiplayer
Localizing for non-english regions
Mac/Linux Ports
Console Ports
Merchandise

[...]

There's no official timetable for any of this yet... Mainly I just want to let you all know that multiplayer, porting and localization are actively being worked on.

In the meantime, I'd like to give a little rundown of some things I'm planning for version 1.1:

More late-game content
New farm buildings
New crops
New artisan goods
New advanced farming/producing mechanics
Shane and Emily will be marriage candidates. They will also have more events and dialogue as a result.
More marriage content for all spouses
More events for the non-marriage NPC's
Improvements/Additions to mining and combat
Ability to move buildings and other convenience features
More bug fixes
More secrets
More small, fun touches to the world

(note: anything in this list is subject to change)
