"Haunted Chocolatier you could accidental is similar the Stardew Valley 2, but it's a spot antithetic of a game, truthful we'll see"

You know, sometimes I wonderment if Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone ever sleeps. At immoderate fixed infinitesimal it sounds similar he's moving connected something, whether that beryllium yet different update for Stardew Valley, oregon the decidedly inactive successful development, conscionable hold a portion you silly sausages, Haunted Chocolatier. And, arsenic it turns out, determination on the line, Barone had adjacent considered making Stardew Valley 2.

Speaking successful an interrogation with IGN to commemorate Stardew Valley's impending 10th anniversary, Barone was asked whether oregon not he'd see doing a sequel arsenic opposed to much updates. "Yeah, I would," Barone plainly responded. "In fact, I would emotion to due to the fact that it would conscionable beryllium amusive to enactment connected a full caller acceptable of characters, a full caller world, possibly seizure immoderate of that archetypal vigor that I had backmost successful 2012, erstwhile I started moving with Stardew Valley.

"There's thing amusive astir the fig of possibilities successful a full caller world, which I deliberation would beryllium amusive for me. It'd beryllium amusive for my team. We'd beryllium truly excited astir it. It's a spot hard due to the fact that radical are truthful attached to Pelican Town and to the villagers successful Pelican Town. I bash fearfulness a small spot that if it's a full caller formed of characters, radical mightiness consciousness enactment disconnected by that."

Barone besides floated the thought of mounting Stardew Valley 2 successful Pelican Town again, utilizing the aforesaid formed but with a caller story, but believed he'd person the aforesaid occupation arsenic conscionable mounting it determination new. "There was a clip wherever I was starting to enactment connected a Stardew Valley 2, but, I don't know. For assorted reasons, I moved implicit to Haunted Chocolatier instead. Haunted Chocolatier you could accidental is similar the Stardew Valley 2, but it's a spot antithetic of a game, truthful we'll see."

On making that examination betwixt Haunted Chocolatier and Stardew Valley 2, Barone noted aboriginal successful the interrogation however helium knows radical are expecting his successor crippled to fundamentally beryllium a sequel to the beloved farming game, thing that weighs connected him rather heavily. "That's been a changeless conflict is like, 'Do I conscionable bash immoderate I privation and not deliberation astir the existing subordinate basal oregon bash I effort to delight the existing subordinate base?' And I consciousness similar there's conscionable going to person to beryllium a small spot of a equilibrium betwixt those things."

The afloat interrogation is worthy a read, arsenic Barone is rather candid astir a batch of his feelings and process towards Stardew Valley. Glad it's him making the happening and not me, sounds similar a nightmare.
