Shinehill changes
TINY TEAMS 2025 is just around the corner! August 7–14!
We are so excited to tell you that Shinehill will be part of the Tiny Teams 2025 festival! A demo will be available during the festival, and the game will be 20% off. (We will share more details about the demo and the game’s development below)
Tiny Teams is a great festival dedicated to games developed by tiny studios, and we’re thrilled to be part of it this year! Be sure to check out the Tiny Teams 2025 sale page, there will be tons of cool games from tiny teams!
In the demo, you can:
meet 16 residents of Shinehill;
explore the village and its nearby surroundings;
complete several side quests;
grow crops;
cook delicious meals;
battle wild animals;
and even play the beginning of the main story!
Current state of the EA version of the game and what content does it include:
During this time we have added many technical improvements to make the game better: mouse controls, obstacle avoidance, quest tracking, fast travel, and more. We’ve also been gradually adding new content.
Details about the game’s content:
main storyline
16 charming NPCs to befriend (and more!)
each NPC has 2–3 side quests
daily quest board
1 festival
home decor and plot decorations
pets
farming
fishing
combat
dungeons
What’s next?
First of all we plan to add final main story quests, as well as additional side quests for all NPCs and more romance options.
New festivals and more NPC-related content.
Character customization. More specifically, it will likely be more character appearance to choose from. We plan to add this feauture closer to the release of version 1.0, in one of the final updates.
Improving minigames and adding new ones, plus various technical upgrades. We will finally have arcade machine in the tavern!
And of course, better localization! There’s already a lot of text, and soon there’ll be even more. Unfortunately, some languages are still only translated via Google Translate (about 60% for certain languages). If you know Chinese, Korean, or Japanese and want to help, we'd be very happy! Please email us peachbitegamestudio@gmail.com or message us on Discord, and we’ll explain everything. (We will also make a post with more details on how translation is done and how you can contribute.) Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers! We love you!
We may have forgotten to mention something, as we still have a lot to do both on the story and the technical side. We’ll be sure to share what we’ve added or changed in updates, so stay tuned for news!
We’re always grateful for your feedback. Shinehill has come this far thanks to your suggestions and ideas! Thank you!
