Sun Haven Update 1.3 Patch Notes Announce New Romanceable Characters

Sun Haven has been around for a while now, but Pixel Sprout Studios doesn’t often put out new updates or add in new notable features to the game; until now, that is. We’ve been waiting for another update since June, and the Sun Haven Update 1.3 Patch Notes definitely do not disappoint. With new romanceable characters, race-specific dialogue, structures and more, we’ve got a ton to look forward to and experience. For a while, the game’s had issues with extensive loading times, and hasn’t had much diversity for each character race, but Update 1.3 fixes that.
