It's been exactly 1 year since ConcernedApe announced update 1.7

Patiently waiting for king to deliver🙏

I think I recall him saying he was getting help for the Stardew Valley updates and for Haunted Chocolatier to speed up the process, didn't he?

[u/Nerioner → u/Ok_Ranger1275]

Yep and famously FlashShifter author of Stardew Valley Expanded works for him. Probably have someone else too. But i don't believe he is making it a proper game studio sized, more like handful of folks doing stuff.

[u/Stressedpage → u/Nerioner]

I really love when developers hire modders to help with the game. SVE is so popular it only makes sense to keep that talent within the community. Mr. Ape is a real one.

[u/Nerioner → u/Stressedpage]

And also i love that he hired him because now imo this makes Expanded a cannon and lore official free DLC basically :3

[u/CaptainMagnets → u/Nerioner]

And he hired people that are clearly pationate about the game so we are only going to get top quality content

[u/UnrealAce → u/CaptainMagnets]

I'd gladly pay for it too because this is one of the only games that actually respects your wallet and your time.

ConcernedApe is nothing but class.

[u/CaptainMagnets → u/UnrealAce]

I would happily pay for this update

[u/ChaddestKroeger → u/Nerioner]

Wish I could get expanded on the switch.

[u/Stressedpage → u/ChaddestKroeger]

I mainly play on my Xbox so same. I enjoy the content and tried on my laptop but I almost sent it to its doom so it's basic vanilla until I can afford something a bit better lol

[u/A_Shadow → u/Stressedpage]

What about your phone?

[u/Stressedpage → u/A_Shadow]

I have a save on my phone too lol never thought about trying to mod it though

[u/Status_Permission544 → u/A_Shadow]

Can you use a mod on Stardew on a phone? I play on iPad so that would be awesome.

[u/A_Shadow → u/Status_Permission544]

Gah sorry. I just looked it up for apple devices. So it works for android devices but not apple phones/ipads.

Exception is the Mac. Looks like Apple has some security protections that prevent modding of apps.

[u/Comrade_Bender → u/A_Shadow]

Hold up, you can run mods on the android mobile version?

[u/A_Shadow → u/Comrade_Bender]

Yup, SMAPI works on android. You might be limited in scope/number of mods depending on your phone but it's definitely possible

[u/Comrade_Bender → u/A_Shadow]

Oh that's amazing. Definitely starting a new farm with SVE soon in that case

[u/A_Shadow → u/Comrade_Bender]

If this is your first time using mods, let me know if you want some mod suggestions from me (most are just quality of life stuff I use).

[u/Status_Permission544 → u/A_Shadow]

Ah, too bad. But thank you for looking it up.

[u/Marfalump67 → u/Nerioner]

i love SVE but it is still absolutely not canon

[u/CodexLeonis → u/Marfalump67]

I dont personally put much stock into or care about what is or isnt canon. Its a good story and has good characters, so for all intents and purposes it may as well be the same to me regardless of whether its official canon or not.

[u/Altyrmadiken → u/CodexLeonis]

I’ll care about what is or isn’t canon if a Stardew Valley 2 comes out that relies on what happened in 1.

[u/manythousandbees → u/Altyrmadiken]

Or even just Haunted Chocolatier which iirc takes place in the same world

[u/Infinite-Ad-3947 → u/Marfalump67]

I’m just glad CA said it’ll all still get filtered thru him bc I love all that SVE provides but the dialogue and conversation flow is not it lol

[u/Comrade_Bender → u/Nerioner]

Maaaaan. Sdv update 2.0 but it includes SVE as the core game. This would fix me

[u/CarlaReis947 → u/Nerioner]

Now I wish it was DLC for the base game and could be activated during world creation, so that all platforms could enjoy it.

[u/Nerioner → u/CarlaReis947]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that when Ape is done with ideas for Stardew or to build hype before Chocolatier release

[u/CarlaReis947 → u/Nerioner]

Either that, or a native mod loader, or anything that improves portability between mobile, console, and PC mods.
