Game Review: Sun Haven

A fun little game that Nick and I have been playing, Sun Haven is a fantasy farming sim.

If you’re looking for a Stardew Valley-like but with more fantasy and adventure, then have I got the game for you! Sun Haven is mainly a farming sim with the classic farming, fishing, foraging and mining focuses. But it has so much more going for it as well! The differences start right when you’re building your character. There are the usual options, such as hair and clothes. But there are also…

[bugbearstew]

A game I worked on is on switch!.... right? well...

So sun haven has been out for a while. Other people have posted about these issues (like my friend kyle and my partner meg a few times)

But heres the thing. It just came out on switch and it still doesn't have credits. It's been out of early access for over a year and playable on steam for even longer and still no credits anywhere (unless you backed the game on kickstarter yay).

And this sucks!! It sucks to have this really nasty feelings about this game. It sucks to be suspicious about WHY there arent credits. It sucks to see the developers looking to hire more and more people and I'm sitting here thinking "are these potential hires okay with never being credited for their work?"

And this isn't just about me and my work. I've mostly moved on from this. But there have been *tons* of people who worked on sun haven despite what they might try to pass off in their discord. I've spoken with a lot of people who worked on the project. Theres a lot of amazing skill that went into this game and it's just sitting there. Who made this game? Well pixel sprout studios! Who works for pixel sprout studios? Good question.

[Image Description: WW aka Wiredweird, a robot character that acts as their artist's persona. They have white "skin" with black stripes on the cheeks, short green hair, and green eyes. They are wearing a reddish-brown sweater, off-white overalls with green vertical pinstripe, and black shoes. They are holding a brown flower pot, which contains a small sprout. The background is a pixelated repeating gradient of pale turquoise and aqua green, with two large green vines spreading from side to side. End ID.]

More Art Fight with wiredweird's persona, ww! Robots that have plant associations just make for a nice character theme, honestly. It's cute, and they're cute :D

I literally bought the OST so I could jam to this & share it with folks. PLAY SUN HAVEN.

[dabihawksluvr]

I love Sun Haven a lot. So it makes me depressed when I hear the controversies with the studio (Pixel Sprout Studios) behind it.

So, to all other game studios/companies - credit ALL your artists/staff, and be on top of fixing the bugs/glitches that make the game harder to play. Trust me, you'll get a bigger audience (and more money) than you are right now.

Das Spielejahr 2023 hat bereits einige beeindruckende Neuerscheinungen zu verzeichnen, und Sun Haven, entwickelt von Pixel Sprout Studios, hebt sich dabei als beachtliches Indie-Spiel hervor. Dieser Artikel taucht ein in die vielschichtige Welt von Sun Haven und beleuchtet dessen einzigartige Spielmechaniken, erzählerische Tiefe und das mitreißende Erlebnis, das es Spielenden bietet. Einführung in das unverwechselbare Gameplay von Sun Haven Im Indie-Spiele-Dschungel sticht Sun Haven mit einem fesselnden Mix aus Farm-RPG-Elementen und beeindruckender visueller Kunst hervor. Das Spiel verknüpft die friedliche Atmosphäre von Farmsimulationen mit der Spannung von Rollenspielen und bietet eine detailreiche Welt, in der sich Spielende verlieren können. Spielmechanik und visueller Reiz Im Kern bietet Sun Haven ein packendes Farm-RPG-Erlebnis, das durch wunderschönes Art Design und intuitiv nutzbare Komfortfunktionen hervorsticht. Der Spielfortschritt kann zu Beginn langsam sein und Spieler mit weniger leistungsfähigen PCs könnten auf Verzögerungen stoßen, doch bleibt das Gameplay fesselnd und lohnend. Multifarm-Management und Flexibilität Ein charakteristisches Merkmal von Sun Haven ist sein Multifarm-Management-System. Spieler beginnen mit einer einfachen Farm und schalten allmählich zusätzliche Anbauflächen frei. Dieser Aspekt des Spiels erlaubt eine größere strategische Tiefe und Vielfalt in den landwirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten, insbesondere im Mehrspielermodus. Magische Elemente und Charakteranpassung Magie ist nahtlos in Erzählung und Mechanik des Spiels integriert. Bei der Charaktererstellung wählen Spieler aus verschiedenen Rassen, die jeweils mit speziellen Fähigkeiten ausgestattet sind. Diese Funktion steigert nicht nur den Charme des Spiels, sondern erhöht auch die Wiederspielbarkeit, da jede Rasse ein unterschiedliches Spielerlebnis bietet. Romanzen und Gemeinschaftsinteraktionen in Sun Haven Das Romanzen-Feature von Sun Haven ist besonders hervorzuheben. Spieler können Beziehungen mit einer breiten Auswahl an Charakteren aufbauen, von denen jeder eine einzigartige Hintergrundgeschichte und Persönlichkeit hat. Das Spiel unterstützt inklusive Romanzenoptionen und erlaubt Ehen unabhängig von Geschlecht oder Rasse. Allerdings könnten die Interaktionen mit Charakteren nach der Heirat von dynamischeren Dialogen profitieren. Die Geschichte und Welt von Sun Haven erkunden Narration und Weltenbau von Sun Haven zählen zu den größten Stärken des Spiels. Die Städte im Spiel sind wunderschön gestaltet und bieten jeweils einzigartige Erlebnisse, Währungen und Geschäfte. Die Handlung ist einfach und dennoch mitreißend, wobei wichtige Entscheidungen den Ausgang des Spiels beeinflussen. Trotz seiner Stärken könnten die Abhängigkeit von Sammelquests und gewisse Spielbeschränkungen verbessert werden. Fertigkeitenbaum und Spielanpassung Der umfangreiche Fertigkeitenbaum in Sun Haven vertieft das Spielerlebnis und bietet über 200 freischaltbare Vorteile in verschiedenen Aktivitäten wie Landwirtschaft, Bergbau und Angeln. Diese Anpassungsmöglichkeit erlaubt Spielern, ihre Erfahrung auf ihre Vorlieben zuzuschneiden. Gemeinschaft und Mehrspieleraspekte Die Mehrspielerfähigkeit von Sun Haven ist ein bedeutendes Highlight und unterstützt bis zu acht Spieler. Die aktive Gemeinschaft, besonders auf Plattformen wie Discord, steigert das Mehrspielererlebnis, was es für Freunde des gemeinschaftlichen Spielens attraktiv macht. Fazit Zusammenfassend ist Sun Haven ein lobenswertes Indie-Spiel, das eine einzigartige Mischung aus Farmsimulation und RPG-Elementen bietet. Seine magische Umgebung, die vielfältigen Charakterinteraktionen und tiefgehenden Anpassungsmöglichkeiten machen es zu einem herausragenden Titel in der Indie-Spielwelt von 2023. Trotz Verbesserungspotenzial überzeugt das Spiel durch seinen innovativen Ansatz und seinen packenden Inhalt und ist ein Muss für Fans des Genres.

[wariofranchisefanblog]

All appearences and references of Wario characters in non-Wario games

I love Wario’s supporting cast, so this was only a matter of time. Also apologies for the long and picture heavy post, but I’m not risking Tumblr messing up a Read More by falsely flagging it again.

Mario's Super Picross (1995)

Several mooks from Wario Land 1 appear as puzzles.

Game & Watch Gallery 2 (1997)

A Wandering Goom appears in Wario's Modern version of Ball.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 (1999)

A Seagull from Wario Land 2, appears in the second stage of Modern Donkey Kong Jr.

Picross NP Vol.7 (2000)

The game includes a set of Wario Land 2 based puzzles, featuring several mooks and even Captain Syrup!

Dr. Mario 64 (2001)

The roster is almost exclusively Wario Land 3 characters, additionally a Para-Goom hosts the menus.

Super Smash Bros Melee (2001)

The description for the Mario & Wario Bucket trophy mentions Wanda by name.

Game & Watch Gallery 4 (2002)

The game features a update of G&W3's DK Jr. remake, meaning the Seagull is back too and Hen appears alongside Wario in Modern Fire Attack.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (2003)

Bobo's name can show up on the scoreboard.

Daigasso! Band Brothers (2004)

Ashley's theme is one of the songs in this game.

Donkey Konga 3 (2005)

The Mona Pizza theme is in the game, which doubles as a reference to Mona and a vocal cameo for Sal Out and the Pizza Dinosaur mooks.

Mario Kart Arcade GP/GP 2 (2005/”007)

While the Diamond City tracks of the Arcade GP games sadly did not bother to include any character cameos, it did have Dribble and Spitz’s taxi place, along with some buildings that may be nods to locations introduced in the first WarioWare and it’s respective characters.

There’s a Gelateria (Mona), a old fashioned japanese castle (Kat & Ana) and a building with the Club Sugar logo on it (Jimmy).

Mario Superstar Baseball (2005)

Weathervanes from Wario World appear in Wario Palace. And yeah, they are more of a mechansim then characters, but I wouldn't feel complete without counting them.

Rhythm Tengoku (2006/7)

In the GBA version the Alien Bunnies appear in in Remix 7 and 8 as cadets in Marching Orders, while the Arcade version gives them a cameo on the congratulations screen.

Rhythm Heaven (2008)

The Alien Bunnies make a cameo on the moon in Remix 2, and they also appear on the Superb end screen of Remix 9.

Super Smash Bros Brawl (2008)

Kat & Ana appear as a Assist Trophy and Jimmy and some Fronks appear in microgames on the WarioWare Inc. stage.

Much of the WarioWare cast also appears as stickers, namely Wario, Mona, 9-Volt, Jimmy, Kat, Ana, Dribble, Spitz, Orbulon, Dr.Crygor, 18-Volt, Ashley, Penny and Young Cricket. Mike makes no visible appearence, but his theme song has a remix.

Additionally JIMYT, MONA and 9VOLT are some of the names that can be gotten when using the Random Name button.

Jam with the Band (2008)

Ashley's theme was DLC for this game.

Rhythm Heaven Fever (2011)

The Alien Bunnies are at it again, making an appearence in Working Dough 2 and even Young Cricket get's to make an appearence, as the male protagonist of Kung-Fu Ball.

Fortune Street (2011)

Wario mentions both Rudy and the Black Jewel from Wario World by name.

Mario Party 9 (2012)

The friends in question that are mentioned here could very well be the WarioWare crew, I like to think so at least.

Mario Kart 8 (2014)

I'm going to be a bit daring with that claim, but Mount Wario really does make me think of Jimmy's minigame in Game & Wario and having Waluigi serve as the staff ghost for the track heavily strikes me as a nod to ol' Jimmy.

NES Remix 2 (2014)

Wario's Woods is one of the games featured here, so several Woods characters appear in a bit of a different context due to the objective structure, namely the Sprouts, Wanda, Fauster, Boom and Mad.

Nintendo Badge Arcade (2014)

The Badge Arcade pretty much used Ashley as a mascot, but even beyond that there was a WarioWare set, featuring the whole main cast of WarioWare + Joe and a Majora's Mask set.

Additionally there were quite a lot of Wario game cartridge badges, which do technically contain Dangerous Duck, Wandering Goom, Wanda and Sprout cameos, but they are so pixelated and small that it's very hard to tell.

Super Smash Bros For (2014)

Ashley now joins Kat & Ana as an AT and 5-Volt serves as the major obstacle of the Gamer stage.

WarioWare Inc. returns in the 3DS version and Jimmy and the Fronks are still there, while the Gamer stage has it's own cameos. Said cameos are Ana, 9-Volt, 18-Volt, 5-Volt, Ashley, Mona, Jimmy, Young Cricket, Spitz, Pyoro and the yellow people from Shutter (Mona's Game & Wario microgame).

Lastly Kat, Ana, Ashley, Mona, Dr. Crygor, 5-Volt and 9-Volt all have trophies.

Art Academy: Home Studio (2015)

A drawing of Ashley appeared in a promo video for the game.

Daigasso! Band Brothers P (2015)

Ashley's theme along with a music video are DLC for this game.

On top of that there is the WarioWare x Band Brothers collab contest, we still don't know which entries won, but we do know that these remixes and relevant character cameos will follow as DLC.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix (2015)

Working Dough 2 is back and thus so are the Alien Bunnies, there is also a plush cameo of Ashley and the entire main cast (at the time) appearing in the Wario...Where? challenge sets. Wario, Mona and Dr. Crygor even make two appearences each.

Super Mario Maker (2015)

Ashley appears as a Mystery Suit, along with Wario.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate (2018)

The spirit selection covers a very healthy selection of Wario characters, Kat and Ana even serve as a Master Spirit in World of Light, while Ashley retains her AT role.

All stage cameos are still there except for Young Cricket, who is replaced by Penny. Mike still has no direct appearence, but he is referenced in Crygor's spirit battle and his theme is back. Additionally, Bobo is referenced in Captain Syrup's spirit battle.

India's Top Digital Marketing Agency | Digital Hangover

As marketing shifts further and further into the digital world, having an experienced digital marketing agency and a sound digital strategy is more important than ever. Finding the right digital agency can be challenging, but these five considerations may help you narrow your options and select the digital partner that’s right for your brand.

1. Market Knowledge and Continuing Education

Is your agency keeping up with the latest industry trends? Are they accommodating for shifts in consumer behavior due to COVID-19?  Do they have a point of view on pending tracking restrictions with 2021 Apple iOS updates as well as the 3rd party cookie?  The media landscape is continually evolving. If your digital agency is not keeping up with trends, you may be receiving outdated plans and missing real-time opportunities.

2. Transparency & Collaboration

A relationship built on trust is one of the most important things to consider when hiring an advertising agency. Are they transparent with data and campaign results? Will they look for ways to optimize the campaign once it’s live? A collaborative, transparent relationship will allow for a much more effective advertising strategy and better long-term results. Go with your gut here, but make sure you’re asking them the right questions up front.  

3. Media Tools

Utilizing the right planning, buying, research and reporting tools can drastically improve the performance of a digital advertising campaign. Media tools allow an agency to effectively build an audience, target the best placements and plan an efficient budget so your campaign can achieve its goals.    

Trone uses media tools such as:

Choozle

Google Keyword Planner & Data Studio

MRI-Simmons

Kantar

Sprout Social

4. Tracking and Insight Capabilities

Tracking a campaign from first ad impression all the way through the customer journey gives you a big picture view of the success of the campaign. It also allows for optimizations and A/B tests to be implemented as the campaign progresses. If an ad agency takes no steps to track how a user interacts with your website after clicking on an ad, the agency probably isn’t very experienced in executing digital campaigns.

To gain insights into your campaigns and have full access to the website activity, tracking pixels and tag management scripts, like Google Tag Manager, must be added to the code of your website.

5. Effective Reporting

Quality reporting ties back to transparency and collaboration with your digital agency. When campaign reports are provided, you should be able to see the user journey, what’s working and what’s not working so your campaign can be optimized effectively. Ongoing reporting meetings should occur throughout the duration of the campaign to allow you the opportunity to collaborate with your agency and discuss potential enhancements.

Ask prospective agencies for a sample client report so you can get an idea of what their reporting process looks like. This will give you a feel for the types of insights they’re able to provide.

Trone’s digital specialists offer expertise in display advertising, website development and monitoring, SEO, content marketing and more. Feel free to contact us if you think we may be the right fit.
