  I mean, he spent 4 years of 70-hour weeks making Stardew. I'd expect Haunted Chocolatier to take equally as long - actually longer, since he's still making Stardew releases, presumably taking some time for himself these days, has to approve any official merch or related stuff like the concert series, etc.

    Presumably if he uses the same or similar engine then much of the groundwork is already done, so I would imagine it wouldn’t take quite as long. But I could be wrong.

      He states in the post Haunted Choclatier uses a different engine fyi.

  I think you just have to leave people like this to work on these projects as they feel inspired/motivated. 

  There’s no sense getting worked up about when it releases, this isn’t Winds of Winter where Stardew left us with a cliffhanger or any unresolved situation.
