Get some sound sleep with some pretty sweet and familiar tunes now that the Stardew Valley soundtrack will be lullaby form.
Honestly, I just can’t get enough of all the different ways that I can find to keep my life all about Stardew Valley. I was so overjoyed about the Stardew Valley board game that I made a day one purchase. As if that weren’t enough, it seems that I can now even fall asleep to the amazing sounds that laced the game that I’ve poured countless hours into.
The Prescription for Sleep series takes the soundtracks for different popular games, and makes them super light and soothing. This turns them into nice lullabies for anyone to fall asleep to. The team behind the music has already made lullaby versions of some pretty wonderful games; like Celeste, Shovel Knight and Undertale.
The team behind the music is Saxophonist Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid/Bayonetta series) and pianist AYAKI (Etrian Odyssey/PersonaQ). Together, the duo calls themselves Gentle Love, and for good reason. They bring a gentle, loving style to all the projects that they undertake.
Stardew Valley The Stardew Valley lullaby soundtrack isn’t quite ready yet, but will become available on May, 19th. You will be able to find the soundtrack on the Prescription for Sleep website, where you can find all the other work they have done over the years.
In other Stardew Valley music news, Eric recently announced that the 9 new music tracks for update 1.5 are now available to stream on most music platforms.

We are giving away one copy of the Stardew Valley Board Game!
As many of you may know, the Stardew Valley Board Game sold out quite rapidly. Unfortunately, it seems that many of them went to scalpers, instead of fans of the game.

The board game will come to you as free as all the updates for Stardew itself, with not a penny charged. Then, you too will be able to experience the wonder that is one of the greatest board games currently on the market!

Just seeing the level of quality that comes from Stardew Valley, there is no doubt that whatever comes next from Eric Barone, it will certainly be something worth adding to the games library.

In a recent Tweet, the developer of Stardew Valley mentioned that update 1.5 will indeed still be coming to mobile devices.
For those that have been waiting on pins and needles, Eric has officially announced that update 1.5 will still be coming to the mobile version of Stardew Valley. While there is no exact release date, Eric has reassured all mobile users that they can expect to see the update. Having released two weeks ago on consoles, here’s hoping that we won’t have to wait to much longer for the mobile update.
What’s in the update?
The full list of changes and additions is actually quite lengthy, but if you would like to see everything that has changed with 1.5, you can see the devlog here. The page spells out every item and instance of change that came with the 1.5 update for PC, and as there is currently no exact page for the console version, this is as close as we get, for now.
You can be pretty sure, however, that most (if not all) the PC changes will also be for console and mobile (if they apply).

The Stardew Valley Board Game is real and packs all the cuteness from the video game.
The Stardew Valley board game is the first official spin off from the actual video game. No other than ConcernedApe – creator of Stardew Valley himself announced today that the official board game is a real thing.
Eric also said that the board game is not just lifeless copy of the actual game as he points out it’s “not a short, casual game,” it actually packs the depth of the real game.
The cozy and friendly atmosphere from the game is represented in the board game as its a co-op experience rather than a competitive one. You and up to four friends will work together to restore the town. To do so you will have to work well together with your friends, go fishing, mining and enjoy many other actives you come to love from Stardew Valley!
Take a look at the official announcement trailer for the Stardew Valley Board Game below.
Stardew Valley Board Game release date
The Stardew Valley Board Game is now available via the official Stardew Valley store. If you want to play a co-op board game with your friends this might be the one for you! Check it out here.

Little Sim World is a super cute upcoming indie game that might finally give The Sims a run for their money!
The Sims has been around for more than 20 years now with little to no competition. Which is one of the reasons the series never quite evolved in what fans wanted it to be. The expansion packs while fun were somewhat repetitive, as every new installment in the game came with very similar expansions – Pets, Seasons, Magic and more.
One of the major drawbacks of The Sims franchise was the lack of multiplayer to me. I always enjoyed the thought of being able to invite my friends into my Sim World and be able to to share my experience with them, have them build their own home in my neighborhood or even become roommates.
Yes, there was The Sims Online but EA/Maxis quickly cancelled this project when its popularity didn’t compare to the offline version of the game.
In todays world a multiplayer mode is more important than ever as people from around the world are connecting through various ways – one of them being video games.
Play alone or with Friends
Yes! That’s right Little Sim World will featured a co-op multiplayer mode where you can enjoy all the beautiful things the game has to offer with your friends as the development team states “Yes, full multiplayer will be implemented after early access ends. No cutting corners!”
No Cutting Corners is the key phrase in the announcement. You will be able to share the game with your friends and not just be able to send each others a gift or visit an offline version of your friends city.
Little Sim World to the Rescue
Little Sim World is everything you’d want from an adorable life simulation game. Think of it as the Stardew Valley of The Sims. Little Sim World features adorable visuals but packs rich building tools and other features that you may know from games like The Sims.
The small indie team is currently working on brining the first playable version of the game to us as it also wants to make sure to fill the voids within the sim-communities hearts with a game sim lovers deserve!
Not only does the small team promise to deliver future small and large content updates for free ( for the foreseeable future ) but the game is also not locked behind a paywall and encourages you to play the title to unlock new furniture and clothing items – something that has become quite rare in new video game releases.
Explore an Open World – by foot, bus or your own car
Little Sim World features an open world with zero loading times for you to explore. The large city offers a wide variety of activities for you to take part in. Stop by the neighborhood Star-Coffee shop for an afternoon snack and maybe meet some new people who you can be-friend – if you wish to do so.
To get around the large open world city you may go by foot but whenever you want to get somewhere fast you can hop on the city bus for a cheap and faster way to get around town. Once you accumulated enough money you can even get a car which can be customized and used to drive around the city – wrooom.
Little Sim World – Romances, Weather, Careers and more
Little Sim World comes feature packed right out of the box and there is no need to pay extra money for additional features.
The game will feature a rich weather system making every daily experience a little different from the other. In addition to weather mechanics you can also enjoy seasons making celebrating the holidays and gardening just so much of a richer experience. You know I am a big fan of weather effects creating immersion in video games if you read my “New Horizons – It never snows on my island” article.
Of course like many other life simulation games you will be able to make friends or even find a loved one if that is what you desire. The large city is filled with many characters that you can interact with, be-friend and even find your significant other!
Get a Job!
While exploring the open world is a lot of fun and making friends at the coffee shop or in the park is a great way to spend your free time, you will essentially want to build your very own home, upgrade it and get the furniture you desire – you know, making a house a home.
You may highly desire better looking items and the latest fashion trends but these things aren’t free. So to fill up your wallet you may need to get a job. There are many career options in the game that you can join in order to make some
Simoleonsmoney.Little Sim World Release Date – Pre-Alpha Available Now

Super Zoo Story is an upcoming indie game where you can build your very own Zoo.
Stardew Valley has long been a fans favorite farming game. Even though the game is out for more than three years, players from around the world are still enjoying the adorable farming game.
Super Zoo Story aims to capture the spirit of Stardew Valley with its charming pixel visuals and life simulation / RPG elements sprinkled in.
In Super Zoo Story you will jump into the role of a Zoo keeper. You start out in an open world that is yours to explore. Your job is simple, build a thriving, beautiful Zoo and make sure animals are happy.
Build a home for new animals and add some trees, ponds and other natural elements they need to stay happy. Of course you will also have to get down to cleaning the areas and always make sure your Zoo looks neat and tidy.
There is life outside the Zoo
The game goes beyond just being a simple Zoo management game such as the popular Planet Zoo. Super Zoo Story invites you to explore the other side as well. The life simulation and RPG elements in this game haven’t been discuessed much by the developers but according to the images released, there is plenty to do outside of Zoo Keeping.
As you create and build your very own Zoo from the ground up you will also be exploring a beautiful and adorable wide open world filled with treasures and cute animals that you may recruit for your Zoo.
As you build designated areas for your animals it is your job to ensure every animal has the things it needs to be happy and thrive. So there will be plenty of decorating and customizing to ensure your inhabitants happiness.
Crafting, Mining, Exploration
An observatory and even a blacksmith will be in the game indicating a rich crafting system. Perhaps making tools for exploration and mining purposes is one way to use the Blacksmith for. The open world will possibly function as a means to gather resources needed for the crafting and building system.
Super Zoo Story Release Date
Super Zoo Story currently in development and no exact release date has been given. I reached out to the developers for some more information on this cute title. You can follow Super Zoo Story on Twitter right here.
