澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone says he chooses what goes in each 𓄧update based on his "whims," but he wishes he'd made it easier for him to make them.

In an interview in magazine, Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone was asked what goes into making each update, like the substantial 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley 1.6 update that rolled out on PC in March (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and is still on itsꦍ way for consoles). In response, Barone said that "mostly, it's just how I feel, my whims. It helps when I play the game myself, then I will get ideas; 'Man, I wish this w🔥as in the game', or a spark of an idea."

Barone says that pl💎ayer feedback does shape the game a little bit - "I do look somewhat at player feedback and requests, but it's not the ultimate compass that I navigate by. I try to follow my fe🍃elings and intuition. What I think would make the game more fun."

Even if Barone is primarily following his own drive for fun, each major Stardew Valley update can be a huge amount of work. That's something he says he wishes he could change. His game has been a smash hit, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:selling over 30 million copies, but Barone says that "if I had known how popular Stardew Valley would be and how many✤ updates and languages [it would receive], I would have spent more time up-front in a way to make my life easier for making all these updates."

Perhaps that's a lesson that Barone is preparing to take over into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Haunted Chocolatier, his next game. Having been waylaid by his latest update, he🌸 says he's "eager" to get back to worki෴ng on what's next, but ironing out all the issues with 1.6 is currently his biggest job. Eventually, he thinks he might move on from S🍰tardew Valley for good, but for no𓃲w, he's still firmly rꦓooted in the game that made him famous.
