Eric Barone, the guy who can't stop updating Stardew Valley, says the words "I might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2"

Did you cognize that Stardew Valley is the 21st best-selling crippled of each time? It's sold much than Skyrim! At slightest by the numbers we presently have, anyway. I don't attraction each that overmuch astir income figures, but if creator Eric Barone cared much astir money, I tin lone ideate that a sequel would beryllium each but guaranteed. As it turns retired though, the developer could really spot himself making a sequel to the beloved farming sim.

Barone precocious appeared connected the podcast Tiger Belly (thanks, GamesRadar), wherever big Bobby Lee asked wherefore helium doesn't conscionable marque a Stardew Valley 2 erstwhile he's perpetually releasing caller updates. "It's conscionable truthful overmuch easier to conscionable adhd much worldly to Stardew Valley than to marque a full caller crippled from scratch," Barone explains. "Because Stardew Valley, each the systems, the large systems, are already each done. That's the worldly that's not amusive to do. When I marque an update, it's like, propulsion successful this, propulsion successful that, let's adhd greenish rain. These random ideas I have. Whimsical ideas."

He noted that a batch of these ideas travel astir from playing the crippled himself and thinking, "'Oh, wouldn't it beryllium chill if determination was this oregon that?' And past I tin conscionable bash it, and that's a caller update. It's truly conscionable amusive and originative and spontaneous to bash it that mode than to marque a full caller game."

And past came the remark that struck fearfulness into my heart: "I mightiness yet marque a Stardew Valley 2, to beryllium honest." I accidental fear, due to the fact that Barone struggles to not update the archetypal game, truthful overmuch truthful he's somewhat forcing himself to halt moving connected it truthful helium tin really decorativeness Haunted Chocolatier. However, Barone did besides accidental that portion helium won't contradict the anticipation of a Stardew Valley 2, helium doesn't "want to conscionable beryllium the Stardew Valley guy, that's wherefore I'm making Haunted Chocolatier."

So, truly we've got a Schrodinger's Stardew Valley sequel here. Fingers crossed Barone doesn't get carried distant and bash it, I'd similar to play Haunted Chocolatier earlier I retire.
