Eric Barone says he just can't "let go" of Stardew Valley "to work on something that isn’t already established and meaningful to people"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley is Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone's pride and joy, and for good reason with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:more than 30 million copies sold, and he's�𒉰� expressed having some difficulty putting it down and moving on to other projects.

Of course, Barone announced his new project 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Haunted Chocolatier back in October 2021, but we've only heard crumbs of information and the odd screenshot in the years since. Well, in a new specifically about Haunted Chocolatier, Barone revealed he's struggling a bit with how to balance development on new projects while keeping Stardew fanꦏs fed.

"It’s been a little sad to see Haunted Chocolatier getting dusty on the shelf… but this is the reality of my situation," Barone said. "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 something that isn&r🅠squo;t already established and meaningful to people."

The rest of the blog very much reads like a commitment to still deliver Haunted Chocolatier at some point, with the substantial caveat that that undefined point is probably a long ways away. While Barone said he's done "a ton of work" on Haun✃ted Chocolatier, he also admitted that it still needs a whole lot more before it's ready for release.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired🍨 on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home off🍷ice, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
