At first I got Stardew Valley bc a friend wanted me to play it. I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy it that much since I prefer Action and puzzle games mainly but it’s actually so good and it’s the main reason why I have such a backlog of games I still haven’t complete.Props to the developer fr, continue working hard!Quite a lot of fixes and even a couple of additions (thanks ConcernedApe for your work as always) – happy for those already playing Stardew Valley and looking forward to them when I finally properly play it myself, too!@Mrcookie153 Personally, I agree with you as I’d prefer more transparency in changelogs of Switch updates etc., but at the same time I’ve seen people on this very site complain about a Nintendo game (don’t remember which one unfortunately so I can’t link it for you to see it yourself) being “broken” at launch or something along those lines – which was definitely an exaggeration – when it had a thorough changelog…As long as I can still hack into the chimney with a platinum axe and catch unlimited jumbo shrimp, all is wellI’m starting to wonder if Barrone keeps making these updates cuz he’s addicted to his own product.Sadly this update created a few new bugs. Here’s hoping there’s a fix to this update soon!
