Creator’s Comments on the Update
Eric Barone has expressed his gratitude towards the Stardew Valley community for their patience and is eager for players to dive into the new content. He shared his thoughts on the update process through his Twitter account:
1.6 ended up being a little larger in scope than originally planned. I’m done adding major new content to it now, though, and it’s in a bug-fixing and polishing phase until it’s ready for release. Thx for your patience. It’ll be fun to see everyone play it!
