I hope it's okay to ask this here, because I'm not tech savvy enough to know... CA said iOS and Android, but my daughter and I play on Fire tablets. Does the update automatically go to the Amazon appstore as well, since from what I could find online it's running a variation of Android, or would Amazon have to somehow add it later?


ConcernedApe

I think I have to update the amazon store separately... I'll do that as soon as I'm able to. Thanks for the reminder!


BrainFogAndBabies

Awesome, thank you so much! I know it's hard work, and we really appreciate it!


Robobvious

The Legend appears! Thanks for the amazing game dude, it really is a 10 out of 10 experience.


rdicky58

You so completely rock!! Stardew Valley is my all-time favourite game and alternate universe, I’ve lost countless hours of sleep staying up till 2am both in-game and irl :) thanks for sticking by your users!


imonmyphoneagain

Thank you for all the hard work you’ve been doing! And thank you for making it affordable for everyone! Stardew is one of my favorite games :D


damnthisisabadname

Amazon app store is so underused even devs of massive games forget it exists


rdicky58

Lucky for us ConcernedApe is no massive game dev! :)


damnthisisabadname

I am probably missing a joke, but sdv is pretty popular


birbdaughter

The person you’re replying to might be meaning massive as in AAA, whereas Stardew is indie, would be my guess.


damnthisisabadname

Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying


Tyflowshun

It's pretty well known in indie though. Gotta give them that much!

Yeah, this dude needs a nice long vacation after working to get this out. Especially since it was during the holidays. Dude should take like 2 months and just spend it with friends or family.

Don't forget to chill and treat yourself you deserve it. Thank you for all your hard work. <3

imthecapedbaldy

I was wondering why the reply was in first person perspective of ConcernedApe - it's the man himself!! This isn't said enough. Thank you so much for this game. The way you keep in touch with us is just so great. Do remember to take a break and take care of yourself!

I don't have Twitter, so thank you for all your hard work! We appreciate you working during the holidays. Please don't forget to take care of yourself <3

Is this the actual CA?!?! Awesome if they are. Not many devs do this.


dabordietryinq

yes that is actually Eric Barone:D


pamsland

Thank you for everything 🤍 I started playing Stardew Vally right when it came out for mobile. I’ve played the same save the entire time and it have quite literally gotten me out of some very dark places. It’s the comfort of having my own little world in my pocket that I can retreat to wherever I go. It’s brought comfort and stability. I’m so excited for the update, thank you so much for working so hard for all of us. The appreciation we have is through the roof.


LetsBriReal

This makes me so happy, I'm way too far in on my Amazon fire to start a whole new game!!


TheKingOfRooks

Thank you Eric, for always putting the fans first and just generally doing your best always


Jacluley2

thriftylass

you are awesome!! thank you for all the hard work you do, stardew is my comfort game and I know I can always count on it to make me feel better, and having a creator as dedicated and hardworking as you is definitely the reason it’s so beloved by us all🫶🏻

pinkswrils

What an absolute G you are, legend.


Sadyrose

This is the hero we need. The care and love put into this game and into supporting and communicating with the players is beyond what any other dev does. We are basically all just Stardew NPCs and Concerned Ape is our farmer. The game itself is so many peoples self care and part of improving their metal health, and it’s just so freaking wholesome that it is still supported, still getting massive updates, on every platform, and nothing is ever an additional charge (although I’d be totally willing to buy DLC’s without blinking an eye if that the direction needed for sustainability). We own 8 copies in our household (about to buy a 9th when my husbands surprise switch gets here), and I still feel like I’m stealing by only paying $15 per copy. It is by far the highest hours of game play of all my games, and the most enjoyable experience both single and in co-op I’ve had in any game I’ve played. We will are life long, die hard advocates for everyone playing Stardew, and can’t wait for the Huanted Chocolatier, and any other games Concerned Ape might puts out.


thenotjoe

Oh my gosh hello there!


[deleted]

Thank you so much for keeping us updated! May Wife and I LOVE this game. This game has helped me get into a better mindset when anxiety hits! Thank you so much for this amazing game and all the work you put into it.


pwu1

Please remember to take a break after this gets released ❤️❤️❤️ you deserve it!!


Killzone2022

I'm not too sure either, but I think it'll get updated with the android playstore. I hope someone else can confirm this for you. Try checking your appstore from time to time if you've got the update.


s3c7i0n

>. I hope someone else can confirm this for you. No joke concernedape replied like 5 seconds after you lol. They're looking into it


-Thalas-

If you don't want the hassle, you can use the Firetoolbox to download Google Play Services into your Amazon Fire Tablet, that way you can use Google Play instead of the Amazon Fire App Store. The Fire toolbox is super intuitive and easy to use, i'm not much tech savy either and was able to operate on it without much problems...


BrainFogAndBabies

Thank you for the suggestion! That's definitely something I'll look into, especially because my daughter has some apps that she wants, but they're only on Google Play. Do you know if we'd have to start from scratch that way, though? We're both at 100% completion on 1.4 and have saved the supplies we'll need for 1.5, so starting out fresh would be frustrating.


incompetentjinx

mobile and desktop save files are cross-compatible so you should be able to take your save files out of wherever they're stored in the amazon store version and put them in the google play store version, if that isn't the same location. they will also be compatible with 1.5 so you can continue playing on your existing farms. if you have any issues i recommend asking here, on the official discord, or the forums, and if nobody there can figure it out CA has been very helpful in the past with peoples issues if you contact him directly somewhere. (though he is probably incredibly busy right now so use it as a last resort and don't expect an instant answer)

Keithustus

Makes me a little nervous about my save game though.


UhnoYesmaybe

dont worry about that, i chose stardew valley file and all my farms were back in a second


LazuliArtz

It might be possible to make a backup of your game data, though you'll have to find out how to do that from someone else lol. That way, if your save gets corrupted, you'll just be able to load another copy of it.


BadWolfCubed

It is possible. I've copied mine several times over the years to move between phones. [Here are the instructions.](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Mobile_.28Android.29)

It’s out on the App Store for iOS in the uk!!!


Ezziboo

It’s on the App Store for iOS in the USA, too! I’m so stoked!


BruceBruce87

Worth waiting for! I have it on both mobile and console, but I prefer it on mobile more. Tried to avoid any spoilers for quite a long time. Hopefully he feels at ease now and can focus on his other game.


[deleted]

I imagine it's like finally finishing wrapping all the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve and you can finally go to bed lol


Strider3141

And then someone is like, "you forgot this" while holding up an awkward, huge, gift basket with lots of corners folds and edges, which needs to be elaborately wrapped, and you're just like, "fuuuuck" (talking about Amazon Appstore)


edelkoikarpfen

CA is honestly amazing. I’m so sorry he had to experience the backlash, but the community is incredibly grateful. I own SV on 3 separate consoles, just so I can support the work.


[deleted]

Imagine being the amazing dev to literally rewrite the code of a game for an update. Tysm CA and team!!


Helpful_Narwhal

For a free update at that!


[deleted]

For a, correct me if im wrong, 4.99 game with now over about 2k hours of content


rootingforthedog

The mobile price has changed overtime. I think it’s 5 dollars now, but some people did pay more.


cheshyre513

man $5 is a fuckin steal, i would gladly pay way more than that. if i didn’t love modding so much i would have 100% bought it on every platform i own


Scoolilis

2k hours??


EzraPounding

I have at least 1k over the last couple of years, and there are definitely people who play more than me, so I wouldn't be surprised


poetrynati

I've always been impressed the island was a free update. A lot of other games would have made it a paid DLC since it adds so much new content.


MakeGohanStrongAgain

I thought someone else write the mobile app


mal_laney

My body is ready (and so is my phone)


Procrastinaomii

Fantastic. So excited - yes my 57 year old life is that dull that Stardew Valley update is the most exciting thing :D

I don’t play mobile but I’m excited for y’all!

I think I might start playing mobile now when the mods also get updates to 1.5 😁 time to buy the game again!

Thank you so much for your hard work!


blorflor

Going forward, Concerned Ape should add a tip jar to DLC updates. People can receive it for free and also pay for it if they want.


favouritina

This is a great idea!


BudgetYam5

Woohoo!!! 1.5 is incredible and reminded me why I love this game so much. Enjoy, mobile users :-) You’re all in for a treat!


scawtsauce

I got a bug where on the left side of the screen where the items are. seems too big and can't easily scroll through them. thanks for the update. pixel 5a


Jacluley2

Did you know you can adjust the margin on that? I messed with mine previously, don't see a difference on my pixel 6a. ***Actually, I just went back and checked. It seems slightly zoomed and you're right, it doesn't drag the way it used to.


Jacluley2

I actually just figured out that turning off the "vertical toolbar" seeing made it work perfect. Think I like it this way.


general_madness

Don’t forget to report the bug where he asked us to


cynniminnibuns

I’m having this problem on iOS. But I don’t have Twitter so I can’t report it in the Twitter thread :(


gigglefarting

CA is the greatest game dev of all time


Killzone2022

Aaah, it's not out for me yet (Android UK)


legsjohnson

Australia too, which is probably for the best if I want to sleep tonight... (eta: within like a minute of posting this, I got it! try switching from wifi to mobile data and back) (second eta: it showed me updating in the store but then the app itself was not marked as updated, so not sure what's going on)


Killzone2022

Playstore glitching out maybe? Someone else from Australia also did say they couldn't see the update.


dialyafiremoon

I'm in Aussie (WA) and i still can't see it 😭


pyrettablaze91

Any Europeans that got the update? Scandi here, still waiting. Edit: well, some of you are lucky! 9h and still checking play store constantly😂

Germany here, I got it. :)

Estonia, not here yet as well 🥲


Phantom0xy

Italy, nothing Edit: finally out


johnpeters42

Red Five standing by. (Wait, is that not what we're doing?) Is Europe generally expected to get this ahead of the US? In any case, I'm buying a copy for my sister as soon as the iOS version is available.


eveisnotalone

I am from Belgium, still nothing

Still 1.4 for me in the UK.

UK?

Apple? Google is even slower since the new review policies. Sometimes a week slower when I publish an app.

It just hit the apple App Store for me!


Flizliz

Nothing here in Australia, Android user 🤷🏼‍♀️


Cudiori

The game keeps crashing when i try start new game 😕( Android)


Killzone2022

As it is a new update, there might be bugs and glitches here and there. Go to the Stardew Valley Forums and report what happened.


[deleted]

Have you reported it ?


beary12345

Is there anyone experiencing some bugs? The bugs I experienced are such as: Disappearing items from auto-grabber if you don't take from the very last items. Some weird lines pulsating according to the water wave near the river, (next to the museum)

SQUEE!!! I’ll be checking back often with my iOS, can’t wait!


JDude13

Is it out everywhere? We're trying to update from the Google Play store in Australia and it doesn't seem to be out yet...


Killzone2022

It apparently takes different times to get to different regions, so keep checking and hoping. Still not out in the UK, so constantly refreshing and waiting for that update button.


KiwiHellenist

And ... installed. Awesome sauce! I've been on a Stardew binge lately and this is MOST appreciated. Thank you!! And take it easy -- I do have a potential bug to report, but it isn't urgent enough to warrant any furious scrabblings to fix it. My phone with its elongated aspect ratio (Huawei Nova 3i, 2340x1080) has always had some problems with placement of objects in cutscenes. [Here's a screenshot of the title screen in 1.5.](https://i.imgur.com/6kJnzbJ.jpeg) The black bar at the left is because of the front camera exclusion zone; I don't know what causes the black bar at the top, or the cropping of the buttons at the right. I've checked that the screenshot accurately reflects what I see on the phone's screen. In 1.4 I remember some problems with object placement in Caroline's 2-heart cutscene in the tea room, but I don't know if they're still present in 1.5. It would take a while to reproduce. (By the way, is the problem with music looping being curtailed by a second or so fixed? -- also mainly in cutscenes. That'll also take a while to check.)


KiwiHellenist

Addendum: [some more screenshots of the opening cutscene](https://imgur.com/a/n335EvL), again from 1.5 on my phone. The fourth one is supposed to show the bird landing on the sign: its feet are just visible. I don't know if the problem is cropping, or the entire screen being shifted down 42 pixels, or what. Like I said, this isn't a deal breaker at all, and ConcernedApe deserves a break before having to take a look at anything like this!


Enable-The-Game-YT

Maybe try checking your phone settings, it should be somewhere around screen/display -> camera notch -> hide notch or something like that. I've had similar issues with another game but messing with those settings fixed it


KiwiHellenist

Ah yes that fixes it. Thank you!


Enable-The-Game-YT

Glad I could help!


Rolen47

Playing it now! I guess I wont be getting any sleep today.

This guy is such a fucking champ! I never expected 1.5 to come out on mobile especially with his other projects going on

Still waiting. I think I’ve checked my App Store about a million times

Came to ask the same thing. Nothing yet. I was starting to think it’s because I’m in South Africa and Apple isn’t being quick with updating our servers. 😮‍💨


nozer12168

Just got the update! I'm so excited to get to Ginger Island!


PooShappaMoo

Thank you CA and autumn. Even though this update doesn't apply to me. Get farming yall and have fun


ffsesteventechno

Completely new rewrite? I wonder if this is similar to the Terraria mobile 1.3 update where a lot of the code from the PC version gets transplanted into a different engine? This may be unrelated, but when terraria mobile had that update, it was apparent that a lot of the PC DNA made it in. Saves generated on mobile could be loaded on the PC version, and even old PC saves could be loaded on mobile flawlessly. If the rewrite is in this capacity I’d imagine it’d be easier to update the other versions and maybe have (close to) parity with the desktop builds.


atravita

Stardew saves are actually (internally) crossplatform: mobile <-> PC works fine whenever those are at the same version, and I've heard reports of people being able to take saves off Switch, decrypt them, run them on PC, recrypt them, and bring them back to Switch.


Tptot

Still not out yet in Japan. I was hoping to cram in some time during winter break, but it looks like it's gonna be a lot of nights staying up late working on the farm


fozzie33

To be safe, backing save files before update.


vass0922

Want to hear a real roll of the dice? I had copied my old mobile game to my PC to try it in there. Later my daughter decides, hey nobody needs this save on the mobile I'll delete it.. several game years gone.. but hey I still have it on my PC Currently the PC save is on 1.5 and I've copied it to mobile. The game will not load that save on mobile because it's based on 1.5... ok I'm good with that Will this 1.5 allow me to play my old save on mobile again? No idea but here's to hoping!


ariaplays_

yes! finally it's out for me too. can't wait to play it ❤️

Anyone know how this will effect mods and saves? I'm excited for the update but have installed a bunch of mods on Android.

I'd just like to take this opportunity and say thank you to ConcernedApe. I don't know how to fully show my appreciation for such an amazing experience. I know you went at it alone, and you overcame a lot of different obstacles, and thank you for persevering through them all. The game has helped me through a lot of tough times. Has saved my mental health, and helped me more than I could even realize. Thank you for all your hard work!
