Stardew Valley just celebrated its first anniversary yesterday. In honor of the event, ConcernedApe issued a blog post looking back on the game’s lengthy development.

At one point, Stardew Valley was actually known as “Sprout Valley”. ConcernedApe also shared various screenshots from early development. While the core ideas were in place way back in 2012, much was changed and added.

“I ended up re-doing nearly all the art several times. I redid the vasty majority of the soundtrack. I expanded the NPC’s way beyond anything you’d see in the 2012 version. I made the map way bigger and more detailed. I added JojaMart and the Community Center. I added tons of items. I totally changed the crafting system and the mines.”

There’s plenty more about Stardew Valley’s development here. Look for the game on Switch later this year.

The official website for Voez has been updated with a few more details about the Switch game.

Most significantly, only portable play is supported due to incorporation of the touchscreen. There isn’t support for buttons, and you won’t be able to experience the title on the television as a result.

After purchasing Voez, 116 songs will be available. Ascension(xi) is in as an exclusive song on Switch, and even more exlusive music will be added for free down the road via updates.

One final note: Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are all in.
