POLL: Which Castle Village building should I make first?

Castle Village World Map + Retro Castle Village (playable)

Hey everyone,

This is the layout of Castle Village's interior. I went through several designs until I was satisfied. I challenged myself to fit the entirety of the city into a single map file (155x156). It's 100% drawn to scale. The "Player" section with the small pixel bed are temporary and won't be part of the final design (obviously haha). Colors are not final.

I added coded elements, allowing you all to visit here right now! Yeah, that's ...

16-Bit Castle Village Theme

A quick song I made for Retro Castle Village.

Castle Village Sprites

Hey everyone,

I've been drawing concept art for Castle Village and I wanted to showcase what I have made so far. I used an extremely limited color palette. All designs are not final.

Right now I'm planning the layout for the city and I will be sharing that sometime next week.

This is an unedited take of me playing a character theme for a new Castle Village character on a Steinway piano.

Crystal Cavern

This is an unedited take of me playing a dungeon theme on a Steinway piano. I'm thinking the version I develop in FL Studio will have a mix of synths and bells.

This is an unedited take of me playing the Castle Village Theme on a Steinway piano. Whenever I get around to developing the soundtrack in FL Studio, I'll make it a little slower paced.

POLL: Should the SVE trailer music be added to the jukebox?

End of the SVE 1.14 beta and the future

(I made the trailer!)

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for participating in the 1.14 beta and for supporting me here on Patreon, allowing me to pursue my passions. With all your help, I was able to squash over half a hundred bugs! Wow! That's quite the number. This will give non-beta players the intended experience I wanted to deliver.

This update marks the conclusion of three years of work, and the completion of my initial vision of an expanded Stardew Valley. Besides character ...

Stardew Valley Expanded Discord Server Hacked

Hello everyone. I'm sure many of you are aware by now the SVE discord server was taken over by hackers. It is unfortunately unrecoverable. I recommend everyone to leave the server if they're still in it. Join the new SVE discord server here

Our server owner, FajitaGrim#3428, fell victim to a phishing scam in a private direct message on discord. They were tricked into downloading and running a...

POLL: Marnie and Lewis

What do you all think of Lewis and Marnie officially dating and after several seasons they get married? I thought up of a three-part event I think could be fun. The conditions for this to occur though are steep:

  - Completed the Community Center
  - Seen all of Marnie's and Lewis' events
  - Have Marnie and Lewis at 10 hearts

I'm interested to se...

Beta Update #1

The SVE download link on the pinned beta post has been updated. This update mainly features a new area, dynamic dialogue and schedules for Lance, 6 and 8 heart events for Lance, and gives community center route players the option to take over Aurora Vineyard. No changes were made to the SVE farm map files (yet).

I really wanted to get this out a couple days ago, but I got a bit carried away with adding all sorts of small details. I'm already hard at work on beta update #2, which will f...

Yeah, you can visit here.

Just finished this building.

POLL: Should Aurora Vineyard be fixable in the CC route

I've gotten some feedback lately about players wanting to refurbish Aurora Vineyard in the CC route. As of right now in the 1.14 beta, Aurora Vineyard can only be fixed in the Joja route. I can see Apples giving players the option to take it over once they are at 10 hearts. They would move to Junimo Woods, so they'd still be in the game and easily accessible using Enchanted Grove (the grove warp itself would also change).

Is this something you guys would like to see? Lo...

Stardew Valley Expanded 1.14 Beta

Merry Christmas everyone, and welcome to the SVE 1.14 beta. This content update mainly features a new combat area called the Highlands, makes Lance a marriage candidate, adds over 100 new decorations (with most dynamically changing with the seasons), adds several new questlines expanding several chapters, adds epic 14 heart events for Sophia, Victor, and Olivia, and adds end game Joja route content! I honestly thought I would've started working on 2.0 by now, but there were numerous things mi...
