February 28: Stardew Valley’s new 1.6.15.1 update came out this week, but if you’ve been playing it, you may have run into some problems. ConcernedApe has confirmed that “there are a few crashes, and some text will be garbled.”

NPR recently caught up with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone, who addressed the game’s future.

There are two sides to the coin here. First, Barone acknowledged that he has some caution as overloading the game with too much content, which could be “detrimental”. But even if he decides to end support at some point, he doesn’t want to definitively close the book – “even 50 years from now,” he said.

Original (7/17): It turns out that ConcernedApe isn’t done with Stardew Valley, and the game is going to be receiving another round of new content as part of version 1.6.

Technically this isn’t the first time that we’re hearing about this. ConcernedApe did confirm plans for version 1.6 in April, but mainly said it’s “changes for modders” and that there would be “much less” content than version 1.5.

Stardew Valley dev announces next game Haunted Chocolatier

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

ConcernedApe, the developer of Stardew Valley, just unveiled its next game Haunted Chocolatier.

The two titles are similar in that they’re both a “town game”. Players will move in to a new town “and try your hand at a new way of living.” That means talking with townspeople, achieving your goals, and making progress in a number of ways. But Haunted Chocolatier is described as more of an action RPG, and the chocolate shop is the focal point rather than a farm. It’s also been said that there are no plans for multiplayer at this time.
