Changelog
v1.1 changelog:

New Features
Shane and Emily are now available to marry. They each have new events, music, and more!
Spouses now have a unique outdoor area and behavior on the farm.
You can now choose from 5 different farm maps at character creation. Each map is focused on a different skill area.
Standard Farm - The original Stardew Valley farm.
Riverland Farm - Lots of water, good for fishing.
Forest Farm - Foraging opportunities and a unique weed that always drops mixed seeds.
Hill-top Farm - Has a small mineral deposit from which ores spawn, including a unique geode-bearing ore.
Wilderness Farm - Bats and Golems spawn at night.
"Shed" building... An empty room that can be decorated, filled with kegs, etc.
"Mill" building... Can be used to turn wheat into flour and beets into sugar overnight.
A new quest that can be started after the Community Center or JojaMart quest arc is complete. The new quest results in a new "magical construction" feature available from the Wizard's Tower. The new quest is triggered when you enter the Railroad area.
Added several new locations that are related to the above quest. "Junimo Hut" building (Magical Construction). Junimos will harvest crops within a certain distance of the hut, instantly transporting the harvest back to the hut for you to gather at your convenience.
"Earth Obelisk" building (Magical Construction). A permanent warp totem to the mountains.
"Water Obelisk" building (Magical Construction). A permanent warp totem to the beach.
"Gold Clock" building (Magical Construction). Prevents weeds from spawning and fences from decaying on your farm.
You can now move your buildings via Robin's construction menu.
New house upgrade from Robin that adds a cellar to your house and teaches you the "cask" crafting recipe. In the cellar, you can use Casks to age cheese and alcohol, increasing their quality.
"Iridium-star" level quality is now attainable for aged goods and fruit. (2x value)
NPC's now appreciate quality level in gifts, but it only has an effect on gifts they "like" or "love".
Added Coffee, a spring/summer crop, and Coffee Bean. The bean acts as the produce and the seed, similar to sunflowers.
5 Coffee beans can be added to a Keg to make coffee.
Honey can be placed in a keg to make mead.
Void eggs can be placed in mayonnaise machines to make void mayonnaise.
2 new fish, "Void Salmon" and "Slimejack"
You can now choose to color your chests with one of 20 color options.
Evil Shrines, where you can make offerings in exchange for dark magic.
Divorce. You can file from a little book in mayor's house.
You can now wallpaper the little hallways in your upgraded house.
When you beat Journey Of The Prairie King, you can now start over in a harder mode, keeping your upgrades and coins.
2 new "Lost Books"
Krobus now sells a "Return Scepter"... a tool which acts as a permanent warp totem to the farm.
Giving someone a gift on their birthday will never make your spouse jealous.
Pierre now sells a "Catalogue" furniture item that can be used for unlimited free access to all wallpapers and floors.

Bug Fixes
Wild plums are now labeled as fruit.
Grandpa's Shrine should now always properly give the reward for reaching 4 candles.

You can no longer tap a stump
Fixed Joja Warehouse graphic issue in winter
"Check action"-mapped keys should now work to attach bait to a rod.

New starting farm = time to start a new save file. Plus even more reasons to stock up on kegs like I did last time.

You have games that are broken at launch and have little support

Then you have Stardew Valley which does everything and more

Indie devs are really saving the industry IMO

Finally!!

Some of the improvements seem to shake up the tedium that the game was showing me a few months ago; I can't wait to jump back into this peaceful game <3

Hyperlight Drifter just went through hundreds of thousands of lines of code and released a 60 FPS patch, Elite Dangerous and Kerbal getting patches this month as well. Stardew getting a veritable expansion.

Crazy.
 
Sounds great.

My only criticism of the game was that there doesn't feel like a lot to the end game.

But giving a reason to go back, especially the new farms, sounds great. I'm going to have to approach the game from a whole new angle though, cause last time the approach I took made the game too easy... I was a rolling in dough too fast from making so much starfruit wine.

Crazy.

Blues and Bullets hasn't had an episode released since 2015 with their only update being that they're 'going through hard times' while their season pass is still in the steam store

'indie devs saving gaming' is a very blanket term

I took a long weekend and was going to finally jump in to this game. But then I saw this

Guess I'm waiting :(

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
One of the best games of all time. Literally the perfect game. I can't wait to try this patch out.

This dude is one of the most dedicated devs out there for sure, adding features left and right. So glad this game was a hit, yet to buy it myself though, but I most certainly will when my next mad Harvest Moon cravings emerge.

I should try this again. Bought it a couple of months back and played for two or three hours and got bored. Maybe it'll click this time.

It takes a while to find your pace in these kind of games, but when you do they become crack.

This game launched at fifteen dollars! 50+ hours of quality gameplay and tireless free updates and features for less than the price of a meal.

I get your point with it being an amazing value, but what meals are you buying/eating that they cost $15?!

This reminds me that I still really need to get this game. Impressions still seem positive, so that's great. Shows it wasn't just a honeymoon phase.

Wow, this sounds amazing, especially the new endgame stuff. I think i'll wait until it's out on Ps4 to replay it but damn, this game just keeps getting better and better.
 
I hope mods can add crazy amounts of starting farms. I love that idea.

I stopped playing once I was rolling in money. I always love the struggle of these games where Im poor and trying to micromanage my expenses. I hope we eventually see more things of that nature

This dev works super hard and Im so excited for this

He said it without prefacing with the word "nice", if it was there that would change a lot, lol. When someone says the bought a nice meal, it can be 20-30 dollars and it's not shocking in the slightest to hear. But when I read "price of a meal" I'm typically thinking around $10.



When IS this supposed to come to PS4? If it's a good port (please please please be a good port), I'd much rather play it there than on PC.
