The solo developer of Stardew Valley, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, has given a brief update on the progress of his upcoming title Haunted Chocolatier. While this update was brought to the surface earlier this month, with the hype behind Stardew's recent milestones, fans took to the comments of the update post to discuss their thoughts on the pause in development.
ConcernedApe has been in the process of creating Haunted Chocolatier for quite some time now, and though the update was not as positive as some may have hoped, fans are still so proud of Barone. The dedication this solo developer has is almost unmatched, as he has even worked through the holidays to give fans patches and fixes for Stardew Valley.
In the update, ConcernedApe discusses that he has not been able to work on his new title, Haunted Chocolatier, in quite some time. This was due to the 1.6 update in Stardew Valley being so massive and taking up a large chunk of his time. Even so, Barone states,
However, I also have a strong desire to make more games. I like making games, and I have a lot more that I want to share, with Haunted Chocolatier and beyond....
