  Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.

  Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.

    I’m not saying there’s going to be another Stardew Valley update, I don’t even know at this point. Right now I am focused on my next game. So, we’ll see.

    It’s possible he actually doesn’t like Haunted Chocolatier, therefore escaping back to work on Stardew Valley when he can’t force himself anymore

  Lol. I feel like I’ve heard this before.

  Super excited, no doubt, but the man can’t help himself with Stardew it seems.

    i picked your comment specifically for this reply.

    i am so happy that you found a game that you love withe a great dev and a supportive community.

    but i still can’t figure out why this game is so big.

    i know, i know. and i feel like a dad trying to figure out why all these kids love the minecraft on their nintendos these days.

    you might think i want you to explain or convince me. but i’m just happy knowing you love a game i’ll never understand the way you do. that’s actually really fucking cool.

      Do you mean Stardew Valley or Haunted Chocolatier?

      Stardew Valley is a combination of a creativity toy, a dating simulator, a soap opera and a security blanket. You’re actually able to return to a humble artisanal life, make absolute bank doing it, and beat the giant megacorp should you choose do to so. A decreasing number of places offer that kind of hopeful feeling in reality.

      Haunted Chocolatier? I don’t know, didn’t really see the appeal when it was explained to me.

      Stardew allows people to achieve their dreams that are unrealistic in the real world, like -

      Home ownership

      Finding friends and community in a new place

      Finding love

      Evicting their local walmart and replacing it with a cinema

      Escaping the fresh hell of late stage capitalism (or becoming the very worst proponent of it, sometimes somehow both)

      Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that’s nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

      I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

      Love that energy! That’s kind of how I feel about the Elder Scrolls. I can’t get into it but I’m so glad there are people who do.
