The official answer is 14 romanceable NPCs. Version 1.0 adds three-heart relationship stories and expanded dates, but the full named roster is not published.
Starsand Island Version 1.0 officially has 14 romanceable NPCs. The same announcement confirms new three-heart relationship stories and expanded dating activities. It does not publish the complete 14-name roster.
What Version 1.0 confirms
- The current official count is 14 romanceable NPCs.
- Every romanceable NPC received new or expanded dating activities for Version 1.0.
- Examples named by the developer include picnics, arcade games, and seaside kite flying.
- Reaching three hearts can lead to a letter the next day or a special quest at a familiar location.
- An Early Access save already at three hearts can receive the new relationship story without starting over.
These are system-level facts. They do not identify which 14 characters are currently eligible.
Why 15-name Early Access lists are not current
Earlier independent guides listed 15 Early Access candidates. The Version 1.0 announcement says 14 but does not name them, so an older 15-name directory cannot serve as the current roster. The same evidence gap applies to character locations, gender restrictions, five-heart requirements, Move In, and marriage claims.
That mismatch means a named Early Access candidate cannot automatically be treated as one of the current 14. The official answer currently stops at the count and systems above.
What three hearts changes
Three hearts is the one relationship threshold stated in the official launch material. After reaching it, check the next day's mail and revisit familiar places connected to that NPC. The developer says either path may begin a relationship story; it does not publish a universal trigger order for all 14 characters.
