Eric Barone, known as ConcernedApe and creator of the popular game Stardew Valley, has recently announced the development of Update 1.7, news that has excited the passionate community of players. However, Barone has been clear in his intention to manage expectations, emphasizing that it will take time before the update is ready for release.
It’s going to take some time
In a Twitter post, Barone presented the update with a simple graph seemingly made in a hurry. Despite the high demand for more information about the new features that will be included, the developer has refused to share specific details, explaining that he does not want to cause an “excess of enthusiasm” in the community. “There will be more information later, I just don’t want too much hype to be generated at this moment,” Barone stated.
One of the most common concerns among players is the waiting time between the PC and console versions. To mitigate this issue, Barone has promised that he will do his best to reduce the release gap between both platforms, a situation that many will remember from the release of the previous update 1.6, which arrived on consoles months after its availability on PC.
Additionally, the creator has confirmed that work on Update 1.7 will not interfere with the development of their next project, Haunted Chocolatier. This new adventure, set in an enchanted chocolate shop, is still in production without interruptions, assuring fans that the progress of one will not compromise the other.
With these announcements, Barone continues to reaffirm his commitment to both the quality of his updates and his future projects, generating expectations for both Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier. Players, although eager, seem willing to wait as long as necessary to enjoy new experiences in these universes.
