Hi everyone,

Santa came early... Stardew Valley's 1.5 update is now available! As always, this update is completely free for anyone who owns Stardew Valley.

1.5 adds a big piece of new content to the "end-game" of Stardew Valley.
Now, completing the Community Center is just the beginning...

It's not all about end-game content, though... there's plenty of new stuff all throughout the game, as well as useful improvements and convenience features.

This update also adds local (split-screen) co-op.

I like to keep most of the big stuff secret, so that you'll be surprised when you encounter it in game.
However, if you don't mind spoiling it, and want to know everything that's in the update,

Hi everyone,

A new patch is out (1.4.2) to fix some more bugs in the recent content update:

Change Log:

- Fixed an issue where the Crane Game would crash on load on Mac builds.
- Fixed workbenches not pulling items from chests that are on rugs.
- Fixed an issue where Robin would stay in bed if she was upgrading certain buildings on game load.
- Reverted placement rules introduced in 1.4.1 which prevented players for creating flooring or torches on their Spouse's porch tiles. Instead, Spouses will now ignore flooring and will "pop off" any torches that are placed in those tiles when they move there in the morning.
- Fixed a bug where buying a magic rock candy from the desert trader, exiting to title, and then re-loading the game would cause it to not re-appear in the shop.
- Fixed a crash when mashing the dialogue advance buttons while transitio... Read more

Hi everyone,

A bug-fix patch (version 1.4.1) is now available for Stardew Valley, which fixes some of the bugs found since the launch of 1.4. Here are some of the more important fixes:

• MULTIPLAYER: Fixed an issue where farmhand's separate wallets would be reset to 500g if the host was playing on Mac or Linux
  
• Fixed problem harvesting crops with the golden scythe.
  
• Added a new Gamepad Mode selection to the options menu. The default setting ("Auto") will automatically switch between keyboard and mouse controls depending on the last used input (this should be fine for most players). "Force on" forces the game to use gamepad logic, similar to earlier versions of Stardew Valley. "Force off" disables the gamepad and can be used if you only play the game using a keyboard and mouse.
  
• Fixed bug where you could enter the sewer on ...

Hi everyone,

The beta for French, Turkish, Italian, Hungarian and Korean is here. If you speak any of those languages, and want to help me find bugs, typos, or even just give feedback on the new text, it would be a big favor and I'd really appreciate it!

To access the current beta version of Stardew Valley:

• Right click on Stardew Valley in your games library and select "Properties"
  
• Click the "Betas" tab
  
• Click the drop down menu and select "beta" (no password is necessary)
  
• Steam will download the beta version. Stardew Valley should now have a [beta] tag in your library.

While it's very unlikely that playing the beta version will threaten your save files, I recommend backing them up anyway. Your save files can be found in the "%appdata%/StardewValley/Saves" folder (on PC).

If you have any feedback or bug reports, please use ... Read more

 This update is a significant change for Stardew Valley... Not only does it include a good amount of new content (new items, events, etc.), but it also includes the long-awaited addition of co-op multiplayer!

New Features:  
A traveling festival comes to town

For three days in winter, a traveling festival visits Pelican Town. Unlike a normal festival, farmers can come and go as they please, and the location isn't "locked out" at any point (there's no setup). Pelican Town is different for a few days, and most of the townspeople's schedules change to reflect that. The festival offers farmers a once-a-year chance to acquire unique items, purchase an original work of art from the famous Lupini, enjoy some live entertainment, and more....
