Hello Adventurers!
It's Bruce, the Director of Sun Haven!
It’s that time!
Patch 0.6: Events & Bosses is here.
(and a little bit earlier than expected too, as of our last Dev Blog hehe.)
There have been some BIG changes to Sun Haven. For example, Sun Haven Town has been entirely revamped, being expanded by more than twice. Along with this are hundreds of other changes, which will be listed below as always.
A comparison of the old Sun Haven Town Map to the new Sun Haven Town Map.
The goal of this patch is to shake up the day-to-day gameplay, and give players something that makes each day distinct from the last. While it’s nice to have a plan for what you want to do for the day….
You might just get an unexpected visitor.
Thank you so much for playing Sun Haven. Check out the full list of changes below.
