[maggplays]

Welcome to my dev blog!

I’m Magg, and I write dialogue and events for Stardew Valley. Currently, I'm working on a huge project, the Dragonsfall Expansion with new maps and characters, integrated with SVE.

So if you’re interested, join me on my adventures… you can also find me on Bluesky, Ko-fi, and of course Nexus.

Find out what I'm working on for Dragonsfall here: https://maggplays.com

Current 2026 schedule:

Working on now: Dragonsfall expansion - Includes the following mods, release dates will vary: * Killian OC, alchemist for hire (main protagonist of the Dragonsfall story) * Lance, combat mage * Sebastian, IT Manager * Luca OC, assistant guild manager and monster hunter * Tohtalem OC, elven scout and monster hunter (collab) * Rose OC, naturopath and healer mage * Imogen OC, mortician forensic investigator * Elliott, historian ??? * Sam, a regular guy (Dragonsfall-compatible variant)

Smaller projects and 1.7 updates to come: Alex Romance update (core and spicy expansion split) Separate furniture mod for all my custom furniture sprites

Possible consolidations when I do the 1.7 compatibility work: Combining Sam romance and friendship into a single mod Combining Sebastian romance and friendship into a single mod

See below for a few more details...

Follow my blog to see my current work and progress on my mods, with the occasional squirrel deviation. I have ADHD so my obsessions do change and it is difficult to stay on track, keeping up with this blog is my way of staying on task and completing the mods I’m working on. 

Please leave me feedback, I love seeing comments no matter what they are, and knowing people are actually looking at my work helps keep me going! And it keeps my brain from wandering off too often. Ask questions too, I love answering questions!

Hii I was curious if you had opened your discord yet?

Hi! I was attacked by sinus allergies over the weekend so after barely escaping with my life, I’m opening it this week!

Just need to make sure I have all the settings right since I’ve never hosted a Discord before XD

Dragonsfall update

Making progress even though life is being a pain in the ass.

I’m planning to open the beta Discord server this weekend, the files won’t be quite ready to test but there’s fun info and chat channels to settle in before you start your test run.

Getting Beta-Ready - Magg's Mods

Working on now: The Dragonsfall main storyline features an arc for each character that involves […]

[maggplays]

Hi! So I've been playing Stardew again, but with mods for the first time, and one of the mods I'm using is your dialogue expansion.

I really like it and it's been nice having these characters say new things after like decades in game, but I just got a line from Demetrius that I wanted to send you a comment about cause it makes me so happy!

It's the one where he talks about the program Sebastian wrote, but the exciting point to me is that he calls Seb his son!!!

So yeah, I just wanted to say thanks for making the cool mod, and I've really enjoyed playing with it :)

Oh thank you!! In the Sebastian mods (friendship and core), there is a story arc where Seb and Demetrius work together on a project and learn to understand each other. This dialogue line came from that story. <3

[maggplays]

Will it cause issues if I use all of your Sebastian mods at once? (Or technically most of them?)

As long as you’re only using one of the dialogue mods, like don’t use both Friendship and Romance Core or one will disable the other (they share content and assets). The romance core includes all the content from the friendship mod so you’re not missing anything!

[maggplays]

Just some doodle stickers I made for a con, I might do the bachelorettes at some point.

I just wanted to make Sebby in his frog pjs XD

[maggplays]

Slipper deviation

These slippers are available on the Immersive Sebastian Core mod in optional files, I’m considering loading them as an FS mod. If I did, are there other slippers or shoes you’d like to have in FS? Leave a comment!

Hiya! I wanted to say I really love your immersive Sebastian mod, I’m very much obsessed with it😅not sure if this is the right place to do it but I was wondering if this is a bug or if there’s some way to fix it, but after nearly all my cutscenes with Sebastian it ends the day and I can’t go back. It’s not just the ones at night but others too, like when we’re helping Pierre or when farmer sees Seb dancing in his frog pajamas. If this isn’t the right place to report bugs then I’m happy to do it elsewhere (if this is a bug). Also feel free to dm me or submit an ask if you don’t want to post your reply. Thank you!

Hi! The only cutscenes that end the day are ones related to going to bed, but you can change that in the configuration menu. Just flip the option for allowing events to end the day. <3

[maggplays]

For all you workaholic farmers who barely talk to anyone except at festivals for the first year, you’re in luck! For Dragonsfall, even the slowest farmer to ever pick up a hoe won’t miss any of the content! Yes, even if you choose Dragonsfall Sebastian…

Meanwhile, frog slippers!

Lance 2.0

Lance portrait update for the Dragonsfall storyline, still working on seasonal outfits. He's the same Lance, but a bit rougher around the edges. He's not entirely alone and has a family and priorities other than work that can affect his choices and story outcome.

Standard sprite with vanilla outfit as a placeholder, beach sprite below the fold ;D

Do not panic, the portraits are not required for the Dragonsfall mod, however, the overworld sprites will be due to custom event sprites and temp actors. If you have seen my Sam sprites with the custom guitar animation, you will know why. Ever wanted to see Lance fight monsters...?

[maggplays]

Hi! I’m curious about something. In one of the events in your immersive seb mod, one that happened on the beach I think, seb makes like a small recap of the relationship with the farmer so far and he mentions quite a few events that happened prior. one of them was how he confessed his feelings when the farmer was in the clinic unconscious I think?? I was wondering if that’s an event that can be triggered and if so, how. I played with the mod some time ago so I’m not entirely sure if that event was actually mentioned or I just had a fever dream😅

Side note, I’m really looking forward to the Dragonsfall expansion!! I know it’ll take a while to come out, naturally so, but I’ll definitely be there playing it when it does! Thanks so much for all the amazing mods you make❤️

Ohhh shoot. That's something I need to update, that event got swapped out for a different one in the more recent overhaul. I'll check that line and fix it for the current event.

Dragonsfall keeps evolving, it has a bit of everything for code so hopefully it all comes together!

[maggplays]

I litteraly just found out about Dragonsfall on your Happy Birthday mod pack and oh my gosh!!! Ive been using your mods since I started modding stardew (which is actually extremely recently) and such a cool concept (I know it wont be relased soon obviously, its a huge undertaking) and I just wanted to praise you because I'm already hyped

It's crazy huge! But the base is coming together, it has an adventure storyline, a few surprises, and some very cool events. Lance is more integrated into the world, and a few of his open-ended events expanded on. It's a bit more mystical than vanilla Stardew, kind of a "what's happening behind the scenes" type story.

[maggplays]

Hi! I'm having trouble getting your Sam mods to work. I keep getting an error message through SMAPI saying I'm missing the mod: "TheMightyAmondee.CustomTokens"

Do you have updated mod download links that don't require this? Thank you :)

Are you on mobile? As far as I know, Custom Tokens works for that, I haven't had anyone report issues before and it's required for all my immersive mods. I'd have to do re-coding to not require it. The link for the mod is in the mod description under requirements, it's necessary for various marriage events.

Dragonsfall Beta Update

I’m setting up a Dragonsfall Discord server for beta testing, and want to gauge interest.

I hope to open the server in late May (fingers crossed). This won’t be a public server, and I’ll post about access when it’s ready. If you already know you want in, DM me here or on Discord and I’ll add you to my invite list! I'm on the main SDV and SVE servers. No Discord friend requests please.

The server has channels for beta testing, ideas and suggestions, general chat, and art. This is all fun testing! I’m not a real game dev, this is really just a place to hang out and play, and tell me when you find a problem so I can fix as much as possible before releasing the mod.

More details below!

Beta testing stuff:

This is a rolling beta, I’ll have the first game year plus up to about 4 hearts for all the new characters ready at the start, then add content up to 8 hearts, and whatever is left after that. The Core is friendship routes only, romance routes are separate character expansions, and will have sweet and spicy variants. I’ll keep the server up as long as people are interested and want to play ;D

If you want to be a tester:

Are you 18+? (there is little NSFW content in the Core beta, but I don’t plan to be a hall monitor so no underage, and the romance expansions will come at some point)

Can you take a screenshot? A phone pic of the screen with your cat’s butt in the background is perfectly acceptable as long as it’s legible. 

Are you cool with sending your SMAPI log link whenever there’s an event issue? I’ll ask for these if there’s an error. 

Are you fine with doing some guided troubleshooting here and there? No worries if you think you don’t know how, I’ll walk you through every step.

Do you have time to play consistently? No need to be a speed-runner and this will likely not be a keeper save, so probably don’t build your dream farm. XD 

Love to chat about Stardew Valley and have lots of ideas? I love seeing new ideas!

FAQ

What mods can I have? 

Whatever you want, as long as they’re SVE compatible and no dialogue or event expansion mods for Lance, Sam, or Sebastian so you can tell what’s part of the beta.

Do I have to start a new save?

Yeppers! Can’t do a real beta mid-save since there are too many variables.

Can I share screenshots on socials or with friends?

No, please don’t share anything from the beta outside the Dragonsfall server. But share whatever you want inside the server!

More to come, especially if I get enough interest in this server. <3

Hi!

Im sorry if this has been asked before, if so i apologize for the disturbance. ☺️

I use the slow burn immersive Sebastian mod, but i love krobus and id like to have him as my roommate. So id need a mod that allows multiple rommates, would those be compatible, since im not marrying someone else?

It depends, if SweetLove or PolyamorySweet are required, then those mods are incompatible with Slow Burn and will cause issues with breaking events and various other things. Because of this, Slow Burn won't load if those mods are installed. If there is another mod that allows roommates (not multiple spouses) and doesn't change so much of the core game, it might work, but I can't guarantee compatibility.

[maggplays]

Dragonsfall characters

Final character roster for the first round of the Dragonsfall expansion core is complete, the core will include friendship routes for all of these characters, Lance and Sebastian having their own separate but compatible mods. Lance and Seb will have their romance routes on their first release, everyone else will get romance expansions after the Dragonsfall Core release. These will be released as I complete them, currently Tohtalem and Killian will be first, followed by Luca and the others will be by popular request ;D

Cassia and Raven round out the guild members, Cassia is an herbalist mage, managing the greenhouse with her magic. Raven is a rogue adventurer, don't ask her what that means.

In order of appearance:
