Cozy farming sim Stardew Valley has sold over 41 million copies as of right now, with over half on PC and almost 8 million on the Switch
Not bad for a mostly solo developer

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley is one of the most-successful indie games of all time, and as of Dec🦂ember this year, it's sold over 41 m🌄illion copies.
That's a huge chunk of change for developer ConcernedApe, who has worked on the game mostly by himself. He's contracted people here and there and had help porting it to other platforms, but as of March, 2024, his ne𝔉t worth is .
, 26 million copies of the game have been sold on PC and 7.9 million on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch. The game is also on PS5, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and mobile, so you can play the gam🌌e anywhere. I myself have it on PC and Switch, but I prefer the ease of use of the PC version.My girlfriend has gotten into it in a big way over the holidays, which has delighted her sister who has hundreds of hours in it across PC, mobile, and Switch. This is pretty wild to me as my partner is not a gamer at all, but she's spent hours each day in it and they've managed to complete the community center in under a year on a shared farm.

Stardew Valley is still popular to this day because it just keeps getting updates. 1.6 is the latest and our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Heather Wald writes it's "brought a sense of excitement and diꦑscovery bac𝔉k to Pelican Town, and I'm losing myself to it all over again."
ConcernedApe, real name Eric Barone, has another game in development, Haunted Chocolatier, which is currently "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:getting dusty on the shelf." But he says: "Stardew Valley is a big and popular game, and I have a lot of attachment to it. I also feel a strong sense of duty and obligation to all the people who have bought Stardew Valley over the years, granting me this rare opportunity to be an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:indie game developer. So it’s hard to 'let go' of Stardew, even temporarily, to work on s🅘omething that isn’t already established and meaningful to people." His commitment is being well rewarded, clearly.
He's also 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:been "in a trance" playing Balatro, as have we all, so that probably 🔯ꩵhasn't helped his productivity.
