Sun Haven Patch 1.4: New Region, Kids, Romance Update, and the Black Market

Hi everyone, it’s Tavielle here!



May came and went faster than usual, it seems. The weather is getting warmer, summer break is upon us, and we know that everyone has been eager for some new content. In other words, it’s the perfect time to release an update!

Sun Haven Patch 1.4: New Region, Kids, Romance Update, and the Black Market launches today, and it’s packed to the brim with a brand new region to explore, tons of new features, 9 new DLC packs, and a bunch of fixes. Oh, and there is also full controller support for PCs and Steam Decks now. And did we mention translations for Windows, Mac, and Switch once Sun Haven’s Nintendo Switch port is complete?

Yeah. This patch is huge.

If you didn’t get the chance to read through our Devblog, we also have news about Sun Haven’s Switch release! Patch 1.4 is the final patch filled with major features that will be released before the Nintendo Switch port releases. This means that no major content will be added to Sun Haven after Patch 1.4 until Sun Haven is released on the Switch!

We’ll still be working on Sun Haven updates in the meantime though, so after Sun Haven is on the Switch, we have another big expansion planned! Keep an eye out for more information from us!

Patch 1.4 is coming, and it’s our biggest patch ever!

Hi everyone!

It's Tavielle, from Pixel Sprout Studios!

We’re excited to share another update for Patch 1.4!

The new content for Patch 1.4 is available now on the Public Beta Environment (PBE), and we’re so close to finalizing the patch for full release soon!

Patch 1.4 will be released once it’s stabilized on the PBE and we’re able to make this massive update as bug-free as possible.

Before we take a look at the patch contents, we want to let everyone know that we are still hiring for more sprouts here at Pixel Sprout Studios! Some of our open roles include an Executive Assistant, Level Designer, Pixel Artists, Game Designer, UI/UX Designer, and more. For more information or to apply, please head to our website below!

https://www.pixelsproutstudios.com/jobs


Now let’s jump into all the new content for Patch 1.4!


A brand new town awaits you from down in the Brinestone Deeps!

Brinestone Deeps:


As seen in our Discord and Twitter teasers, there’s an entire new region to explore with two new Romanceables in Patch 1.4!

A mysterious whirlpool has formed in the ocean down near the beach on your farm. Diving into the whirlpool will take you to the new region - a sprawling underwater world inhabited by nautical denizens and giant, lurking beasts.

If you’re brave enough to traverse the wilderness, you’ll eventually find your way to a sunken city - the Brinestone Deeps, a town in the midst of a takeover by an eerie and malevolent adversary.

Embark on a brand new adventure to save the Brinestone Deeps, culminating in a battle against this imposing enemy. You’ll meet some new friends along the way, and make a few very important (and very powerful) enemies! As you fight to save the Brinestone Deeps, you’ll be able to access a new Bulletin Board with new Bulletin Board quests, and visit some of the amazing Brinestone shops - including a new general store, a magic staff shop selling weapons for mages, and a magic armor shop to buff up your stats!

Last but definitely not least, after completing the Brinestone Deeps quest line, you will unlock the brand new romanceable characters: Karish and Zaria.


Awww, what a cute baby!!

Kids:


Coming in Patch 1.4 is one of the most requested features from the community: Kids! Once you’re married and have your house upgraded to Tier 3, your spouse can express their interest in having a child. (This is completely optional, and you can say no!)

If you say yes, head to the Wishing Well in Sun Haven’s Eastern Wilderness to make the wish come true. The following day, a brand new room will appear in your Tier 3 home with a teeny-tiny new occupant. You will need to nurture and take care of your baby to help it grow into a toddler.

As a toddler, they can explore Sun Haven, have quests, ask you to bring them certain items, hang out with the neighboring children, and even listen to Jun’s stories at the library! Toddlers are highly customizable, so you can give them adorable new outfits and customization options to help them fit right into your family. If you welcome the chaos, we’ve also decided to leave all customization options unlocked, just in case you want a half-naga, half-demon baby. Who are we to deny you of your cursed child dreams?!


A new currency, secret shops, and new fish to catch in the sewers!

The Black Market:


The sewer’s manhole cover to the right of the Sun Haven Cafe is now open and leads to the grungy Sun Haven sewers! Once inside, you can catch sewer-specific fish to make a profit. If you continue forward, you will find the secret Sun Haven Black Market!

Here you can buy and sell certain items for a unique currency called Black Bottle Caps. These Black Bottle Caps can be used to purchase furniture, clothing, and even rare eggs that hatch into different pets! There’s also a merchant who will offer to exchange your mana for health or your health for mana, which means all of you min-maxers out there can finally reach the full mana build of your dreams!


The new romanceables are here: Karish the Shark Amari, and Zaria the Water Elemental!

Romance:


There are two new Romanceables joining the large cast of Sun Haven in Patch 1.4!


  • Karish, the Aspiring Hero - A Shark Amari who looks for the best in this harsh world, Karish aspires to be the hero the Brinestone Deeps needs. Can this over-eager hero in training learn to temper expectations and help his community in ways that really matter?
  • Zaria, the Redwash Mercenary - A Water Elemental known beneath the waves for her cutthroat attitude, Zaria has learned that loyalty is best sold for cash and friendship is a fool's dream. But does she truly feel that way, or is there something this ruthless corsair is trying to hide?

These new characters have dates, events, bulletin board quests, and tons of new dialogue for you to experience!

These two new romanceable characters aren’t all we have in store! We’ve also updated many aspects of romance in Sun Haven, starting with being able to sleep in the same bed as your spouse! Once your spouse moves into your Tier 3 house, you now have the option to sleep in your spouse’s bed. You can also share a special kiss with your partner in new goodnight kiss cutscenes before turning in for the day. How sweet!

There are also new seasonal walk path animations for all romanceable characters that will breathe life into the world of Sun Haven. Some of these animations include Claude playing the piano, Lucia sitting at her desk signing papers, Anne polishing a diamond, and more! These animations aren’t just seasonal - they also add ways for you to connect with the traits, hobbies, and magic of the Romanceables in Sun Haven.

Romanceable characters will now have positive and negative reactions when you accept or decline hangout and date requests! Additionally, spouses now have unique vows and more dialogue during your wedding, as well as rejection responses if you decide to say no to getting married at the altar. (You monsters!)

Miscellaneous Updates:



  • Added the Great Vault! Gone are the days of running out of or misplacing DLC items, because now you can literally jump right into your Sell Portal and be whisked away to the Great Vault, the jewel of the Great City! Here, you can also browse all of the DLCs in Sun Haven, buy extra DLC pack items for gold, and get taken directly to the DLC Steam Store pages to browse the full selection of DLC packs available.

  • Added Trash Cans and Destructibles. There are now interactable trash cans around Sun Haven, Nel’Vari, and Withergate. Be careful not to get caught digging through the trash, though… unless you don’t mind hearing rumors about your stinky behavior. Additionally, there are new crates and barrels around all 4 towns (Hehe, you read that right! FOUR towns now!) that can be hit with your sword or scythe. Once broken, they can drop materials and other items!

  • Added Riddle Quests. Discover new puzzles and riddles that have been hidden around the world! These new riddles offer exclusive rewards, so keep your eyes peeled for these secret quests.

  • Various bug fixes.We’ve fixed tons of bugs and other issues, including: automatic collectors, automatic feeders, and feeding stations not working as intended, Shang’s first date causing you to get accidentally murdered by enemies, removed the Farmer Table’s spooky ghost animation issue, quest items not being given, Snaccoons going missing, miscellaneous typos, crafting issues with health, mana, and fish, and more!

Starting now, Patch 1.4’s new content is live on the PBE. If you’d like to see all the new content coming in Patch 1.4, you can join the Public Beta Environment (PBE) and help us test the patch before release! Join our Discord and check out #pbe-info for more information on how to opt in!

On a development note, we’re so excited to share that Patch 1.4 is the final patch filled with major features that will be released before the Nintendo Switch port releases. This means that no major content will be added to Sun Haven after Patch 1.4 until Sun Haven is released on the Switch!

Any fixes that the community helps us with for this patch will help improve the Switch build, and we are very appreciative of everyone taking time to help us test out all of the new content that was introduced in this patch.

Thank you so much for your patience as we’ve worked behind the scenes to bring all of these major features and updates to Patch 1.4! This is the biggest update we’ve ever had, and we’re so excited to finally share it with you all!

Have a great week, and we’ll see you soon for the full release!
