Together with fixing a glitch that is been bugging gamers for 8 years, Stardew Valley’s 1.6 replace may even repair a glitch that is been bugging Eric Barone for 8 years

“Ever discover that swinging the sword downward put you at a giant drawback?” Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone requested earlier this week on Twitter. “It is at all times bugged me, however I had tuned it that approach in order that the world of impact would match the visible. For 1.6, I made a decision that recreation really feel is far more necessary than exact visible accuracy.”

I’ll admit that melee fight is just not the very first thing that leaps to thoughts after I take into consideration Stardew Valley. It is all about festivals and farmer’s markets and bringing within the crops and discovering a life mate and hats and cats and hats on cats—however fight? 

Properly, sure, that is all a part of the farm life too. And that is not completely inaccurate: Farmers usually pack warmth in a single kind or one other, though explosive ammo and bombs are a rarity, at the least round my neighborhood.

After all, this specific patch is strictly about melee fight, not taking pictures issues or blowing them up. 

Prolong the world of impact of downward going through melee assaults.

Barone confirmed in response to an inquiry that the repair is for “each weapon, together with golf equipment and daggers,” however will not have an effect on issues like picks or axes, that are extra general-purpose instruments: Useful for clobbering in a pinch, however probably not constructed for that form of factor.

Barone additionally mentioned that the change emerged at the least partly from his work on Haunted Chocolatier, the Stardew Valley follow-up he’s 100% for certain going to begin specializing in as soon as Stardew’s 1.6 replace is out.

“For HC I had this in thoughts from the start and drew the participant animations in a approach that ought to match with the hit containers higher,” he tweeted. “And I am being far more deliberate about ensuring every route you face is equally viable. However yeah I feel it did trigger me to rethink Stardew’s.”

The Stardew Valley 1.6 replace is ready to roll out on March 19. The complete patch notes shall be revealed when it goes stay, however within the leadup Barone has been amusing himself by tweeting out particular person patch notes at a price of 1 per day. You’ll be able to maintain observe of all of the modifications in our not-at-all-hyperbolic rundown of all the things Barone’s revealed up to now.
