Stardew Valley mastermind Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone recently unveiled a 1.7 update for his 2016 farming sim, telling fans it wouldn't "hinder" work on Haunted Chocolatier – but a new announcement from the developer highlights that it's not that simple.
Speaking on the official Haunted Chocolatier website, ConcernedApe answers the question on all fans' minds after the Stardew Valley 1.7 update confirmation – does it mean Haunted Chocolatier will take longer to release? "Maybe a little, but not as much as you might think," he explains. The dev then details how he has "a team" that helps him with Stardew Valley updates – a fact that has rung true since the 1.3 patch launched in 2018.
