First look at a new Castle Village NPC

First look at a new Castle Village NPC

Meet Sabrina, Castle Village's apothecary. When players are defeated in combat they will spawn here. Sabrina will serve a role very similar to Harvey in Pelican Town. She has an affinity for herbs and plants and loves cats. Players can romance her in Stardew Valley Expanded 2.0

Winery (new farm building)

Winery (new farm building)

In SVE 1.15 players can build a winery on their farm. It'll provide space to place casks and increases wine aging speed by roughly 10%. Only one winery can be built (balance reasons).

Happy New Years and what's coming to SVE in 2023

Happy New Years and what's coming to SVE in 2023

Hey everyone! Happy New Years and happy holidays! I hope you're all spending this time with loved ones, eating good food, celebrating, and preparing for this new year. 

From what I've heard (this isn't an official timeline), the Stardew Valley 1.6 update will be released sometime in the coming months and I'm announcing there will be a...

Castle Village Residential Area

Castle Village Residential Area

I took a snippet of the Castle Village world map and I set out to make that scene! I feel like it turned out quite nice. Later this month I'll be revealing a new NPC so stay tuned!

Camilla's Tower Piano Cover + an update

Camilla's Tower Piano Cover + an update

This is an unedited take of me playing Camilla's theme on a Yamaha piano for the fun of it!

I know I haven't been posting much on Patreon lately, but rest assured I'm hard at work on many things behind the scenes. There will be a pretty large content reveal sometime at the end of this month.

Castle Village Guild Hall

Castle Village Guild Hall

This is the last "main" building in Castle Village! Besides being, well, a guild hall (HQ), It's also the warp hall for the city, meaning this is where travelers and residents come and go via teleportation. It functions as a barracks as well for the many non-social adventurer and sentry NPCs that'll be found in the city (they need housing too).<...

Castle Village Tavern/Inn

Castle Village Tavern/Inn

The Silver Unicorn is owned by a renowned mixologist named Eleanor. This is where Castle Village residents and visitors can grab a warm meal, a good drink, and a soft cozy bed. The tavern will play a similar role to the Stardrop Saloon in Stardew Valley. Many NPCs can be found here throughout the day and it gets very busy on Saturday nights.

Camilla's Tower

Camilla's Tower

This is Camilla's home in Castle Village. She lives here with her magical assistant, Gribble. He's a goblin who has an education in magic and potion brewing.

The perspective is a little weird since her main tower is placed on a hill (jail tower is a bit lower). I actually used a couple paper towel rolls and some books in real life to get...

Castle Village Academy

Castle Village Academy

This is where the player can learn magic in Castle Village. It'll be home to a fully fledged professor NPC and a couple student NPCs. Many non-social student NPCs will also be found around the academy too (at their dormitories and attending classes). The academy will have a grand library and a museum where players can donate new artifacts found ...

POLL: What should I sprite next?

There are four Castle Village buildings left for me to design and they are also the largest! You guys can vote on which ones I'll tackle first.

Gideon's Slime Ranch

Gideon's Slime Ranch

This is home to Gideon, a slime rancher in Castle Village. He'll play a role similar to Marnie in Stardew Valley where players can buy livestock (monsters) and supplies. I'll be making a new poll soon where you guys can all decide what building I'll design next.

Church Of Yoba

Church Of Yoba

This is The Church Of Yoba, and also home to a priest named Joshua. A number of Castle Village NPCs, such as Alesia, have a deep connection with Yoba and will sometimes be found here. This is also where players will marry NPCs living in Castle Village.

I know I haven't been too active lately. I went on vacation with my partner in the M...

Stardew Valley Expanded has officially hit one million players! I'm truly beyond words. It's a bit hard think that this all started out as just a small passion project of mine, and it blew into something that has touched the hearts of so many across the globe. Thank you guys for giving me all of your love and support over the years. I don't thin...

Magical Farm Building

Magical Farm Building

Hey everyone, I'm feeling a lot better and have pretty much made a full recovery from being sick. It's time to get back to work! This building will be located on the top right in Castle Village's interior, and is home to a farmer NPC that grows magical crops. Judging from the previous poll... the player house is next! I'm thinking there will be ...

An important life update

Hey everyone,

I caught COVID-19 on 4th of July weekend and over the past several days I've been very sick. It doesn't seem like it'll be letting up anytime soon. I really can't remember the last time I was this ill. This virus is extremely relentless, even with my vaccinations. I'll be taking a short break from SVE development until I ful...

Secret Woods Expanded

This is content coming to SVE 1.14.12! I'm adding a bunch of new forage and fish too. I'll get back to spriting Castle Village buildings once this update is out. I don't have an exact ETA on a release quite yet since there's a bunch of codework and testing still. Maybe in the next week or so.
