Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone knows his fans are eager for his next game, Haunted Chocolatier, and that some of them are disappointed in the apparent lack of progress and news on that front. He's sorry about that, but in a new update says he's been obligated to keep his focus on Stardew Valley—and while Haunted Chocolatier is still a long way off, he promises it's going to happen.
Stardew Valley's 1.6 update was originally meant to be mainly a technical update, but Barone said it "kind of snowballed" once he started adding new content. He's stuck with it since the release of the update on PC in March, saying he's "been heavily involved with bug fixing, porting, and more," all of which have kept him from Haunted Chocolatier.
