While the list of games like Stardew Valley just keeps growing, the list of games made by Stardew's creator is still percolating. Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone's own next game Haunted Chocolatier is still deep in development, but it turns out that a former Stardew contributor is also working on a new life sim that may even arrive this year. The as-yet-untitled game definitely looks like a Stardew descendant, but this one's set in a city and has a lot of its own neat ideas on expanding the typical life sim script.
As spotted by RockPaperShotgun, freelance game developer Arthur Lee (who's credited as part of the Stardew Valley team during development of the 1.5 update) is working on an untitled new life sim and sharing weekly details about development on X. Though it remains untitled at the moment, he's expecting it to involve the name "Apollo City" after the game's main setting.
