We still don't know how long it's going to be before Haunted Chocolatier is ready, and it seems like even Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone isn't sure, either. Making the new game is a lot more challenging than creating Stardew Valley, according to Barone – after all, he didn't have the legacy of one of the biggest indie hits of all time to deal with back then.
Barone now tries to spend five days a week on Haunted Chocolatier and two on Stardew Valley, as he explains in a new interview with Game Informer (paid article link). "It's kind of hard to switch gears sometimes, to be honest, but it's just what I've got to do," he explains. "It's just another challenge, because I have two games that I'm working on. I just have to do it. It's not my preference, but it's just what needs to be done."
