Stardew Valley is an old game that was released 8 years ago, but it has actually been in development for 12 years. However, for the developer "ConcernedApe" Eric Barone, his development journey is still very long. He is currently developing the console port of Stardew Valley version 1.6 and the PC version 1.6.9 update. At the same time, ConcernedApe also reiterated that there will be no charge for subsequent updates of the game.



In response to players thanking him for releasing the update for free, ConcernedApe said that he swore by his last name that he would never charge for DLC or updates as long as he was alive, and everyone could take screenshots and save them. If he violated his oath, please scold him.



Stardew Valley has undoubtedly been a commercial success, and ConcernedApe can be considered a successful independent game developer who has "come to fruition after all the hardships". However, for ConcernedApe, developing games seems to be more for love, and even if they make money, they still devote themselves to development. Although ConcernedApe believes that Stardew Valley can be developed forever, ConcernedApe has now opened a "new pit" Haunted Chocolatier. I wonder if this new work will also be updated for more than ten years.
