      Haunted chocolatier It’s supposed to be coming out at some point in time…

      The trouble is it’s just one dude doing the development. He struggled with mobile development for a while That’s why there was such a long delay with this.

      HC is the next game he’s working on but it will only come out once stardew is at a point where he can move on. From what I understand.

        He delegates some things (including porting) to other developers. I am not sure about Haunted Chocolatier, but Stardew Valley has not been a solo project for several years now.

            He’s a millionaire at this point. Would be really stupid to sacrifice his mental health any further for this game.

        I respect him for it but I really wish he would surround himself with a competent dev team, at least for the new one.

      Afaik he’s doing “just” minor updates now, so bugfixing, polish, and whatnot. No new content.

        CA said that after 1.5, and we still got all of the big additions in 1.6, lol. Not that I’m complaining, I always enjoy an excuse to play Stardew Valley.

      Hot take: They should have just wrapped up development ahead of the engine change. Stardew Valley 2 could have then been built from the ground up with multiplayer in mind along with all the other stuff included in the Stardew Valley content updates.
