What about seasons?

[Alvsvartr]

I'm new here, and I don't know if there are any plans to implement a season change? Please advise me. As for me, it's a definite must-have.

Just go to their studio's website and check their dev blogs, you can find their road map there, and it will answer your questions.

Thanks, it's utterly informative.

Am I the only one who thinks Sun Haven only benefits from NOT having seasons and standard monthly-yearly cycle? I appreciate growing any crops I want and not to worry they will die at the end of the season. I appreciate constant sunny weather with a pleasant rainy days from time to time just for a change and for free watering. It's a magical place, why it needs winter? And after all, in Stardew Valley, you only get into serious farming business when you unlock Greenhouse and Ginger Island - with benefits that you get in Sun Haven from the start!

Of course, you are not the only one.
But.
Seasons are not just natural and logical.
Sowing and harvesting different crops within the right time frames are also quite challenging and exciting. Moreover, it brings essential differences and diversity to the game.
Sometimes I'm a slacker-gamer too, and summer-all-the-year sounds fine, but just at first. It's utterly fascinating to have seasonal crops, dishes, tasks, quests, and, of course, seasonal festivals and entertainments. It is, and it should be the life cycle.

Damn! I totally love autumn, I utterly love spring, and I definitely love summer. Even winter, yes.

Honestly, I'm all for whatever the Devs do with it. Love seasons but it's in every game like this so if they remove seasons like they did stamina to streamline things a bit, that's cool too.

I see where you're coming from, but we don't know how seasons and seasonal crops will work yet.

I think Sun Haven's magical setting leaves a lot of room for unique ways to handle seasonal crops beyond using a tiny greenhouse. It's possible seasons in Nelvari and Withergate might not be the same as they are in Sun Haven.

Personally, I hope they add something like another kind of spell or magic fertilizer that allows crops to grow in any season, and some crops that can actually grow in winter -- there are plenty of winter crops irl so I never understood why farm games insist on making you do NOTHING all winter.
