In a new interview, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has offered a whole lot more detail on the gameplay and influences of his upcoming game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Haunted Chocolatier.

"When I was in the early stages of Haunted Chocolatier, I was playing a bunch of Diablo 2," Barone tells . "Getting loot and seeing your numbers go up on the stats? I like that stuff. I feel lik🤡e a lot of Stardew Valley players aren't that into it, but I've jusꦫt got to do what I think is fun. And I think that'll shine through in the game, if I'm excited about it."

Another starting point for Haunted Chocolatier was Barone asking himself "What if I made a game that was lik෴ꦯe the mines in Stardew Valley, but fully fleshed out and done really well?"

According to Barone, "the core of the game is actually gathering ingredients; that'sಌ the biggest part of the game. The shop is a little more passive." Gathering ingredients will have you exploring the world - including the magical realms you can portal into - collecting items by both combat and less violent trials. You'll then use those ingredients to make the chocolates for your shop.

You'll take a hands-on role runninꦐg the shop at first, but as you progress in the game you'll be able to put ghosts to work handling the store's day-to-day operations. Barone says "there'll be a certain kind of a sim element, like a game like Rollercoaster Tycoon o💟r something where the customers have certain needs and desires." Satisfied customers will spread the word to other shoppers, adding to your popularity. A "weekly chocolate news" system will see buyers going wild for certain types of items from week-to-week, too.

All these details have a caveat: Haunted Chocolatier is still in active developmen🅘t, and quite some distance from release, s🅺o everything is subject to change. Barone notes that Stardew Valley took him four and a half years to develop, and he's been working on Haunted Chocolatier for less than two years, so there's quite a bit more to be done.

Barone also says he's been playing World of Warcraft as a "little bit of a guilty pleasure", but fans shouldn't be worried that an MMO obsession is going to slow development on Haunted Chocolatier. In fact, Barone was also playi𒈔ng WoW during Stardew Valle🎃y's development, which helped influence that game's feel.

"People don't realize this, but one thing that I have to say about World of Warcraft and Blizzard games in general is that they're really good ♔at ma𓄧king things really juicy," he says of the MMO. "Just gathering stuff or whatever, there'll be big blinging things on the screen that make you feel really satisfied. I tried to put it into Stardew Valley, with all the sound effects when you're picking stuff up. Something as simple as gathering is satisfying in itself, even though it's a very simple thing, if you think about it."

Haunted Chocolatier might be even further out, but there are plenty of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games for 2023 to keep on your radar.
