ConcernedApe, the developer of Stardew Valley, has shared an update for the upcoming multiplayer mode, coming soon with v.1.3. With the help of Chucklefish, Stardew Valley will receive a multiplayer mode including additional language support for the game. Development for this new mode is still in progress and beta testing is hoped to arrive sometime in Spring.
We’ve included the full post, below:
Work on the new features is done, and we’ve sent all the new text off to be translated into the different languages. Meanwhile, we are working on bug fixes. Once we’ve received the translated text and integrated it back into the game, we’ll begin a serious QA phase involving thorough testing of all new features in both multiplayer and single player contexts. When that is finished, the update should be ready for a public beta. I am still shooting for a spring release for the beta.
When the beta gets closer to launch, I’ll fill you guys in on more specifics as to how multiplayer will work, as well as a more complete list of the new features in the update.
I’ll also be sure to let you guys know as soon as we’ve determined a more concrete timetable for release.
