Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is still considering following through on his quarter-joking suggestion that a good life sim should include homewrecking and all of its ugly aftermath.
Stardew Valley is a farmland sandbox, and Barone explains to GameInformer in a new interview that he believes, "In a sandbox game, you should be able to do wicked things and then face the consequences." So while he disclaims he's against destroying a household just because you find kindly step-father of two Demetrius too erotic to bear – "I'm against that on a moral level," Barone says about infidelity – being able to do so slots perfectly into his game where almost anything is possible.
