The Perfection tracker doesn't move on its own, every Monster Slayer goal, completed quest, & friendship heart has to be earned in #StardewValley. Today we're systematically working through the Perfection checklist! youtu.be/Ir8cfI2ntcw

The infamous, elusive Autopetter. It's in the loot table. We know it's in there. Today we go back into Skull Cavern, as many runs as it takes, until the Autopetter drops. Finding this rare item will push the automation of the farm forward. #StardewValley youtu.be/sMYxTb5fCsw

Our ROAD to #StardewValley PERFECTION starts here. To reach our goal we must catch every fish, cook every recipe, craft every item, & ship EVERYTHING! Perfection isn't a destination - it's a checklist! Today we're building the system to clear it. youtu.be/a9ilIdhELpw

To speed up production, here’s how Hytale updates will work going forward! TL;DR • Pre-release updates go out weekly • Pre-release to get features earlier for feedback & bug reports • Releases ship when pre-release is in a good state (every ~2–6 weeks) • More time for modders and servers to adapt • Our developers spend more time building, less time shipping • Hotfixes can still ship at any time to both pre and release Going forward, we’ll use the pre-release patchline to be a bit more adventurous. It will be updated weekly and may be unstable by design; this is where new features, larger changes, and iterations happen. FYI, we might skip a week from time to time for holidays, PTO, or other reasons. Pre-release instability will be clearly communicated in-game. As you might have noticed, we have automated world backups, but always back up your own data if you plan to keep using the same worlds in pre-release patchline! Once we’re comfortable with the pre-release state (can be a result of one or several updates), we’ll schedule it to release and communicate to everyone. As for this week, don't expect anything major for pre-release, we are getting into the rhythm of things and need to off-set the cadence. To clarify, if we update the pre-release with like 5 updates, the release will contain those 5 updates. If we are aiming for a release week, we will make the call publicly and tell people to prepare their mods/servers a few days beforehand.
