Stardew Valley creator says he had his reasons to announce Haunted Chocolatier so early, and "if I don't post for a while, it doesn't mean I have abandoned the game"

Now that update 1.6 is finally available to all Stardew Valley players, solo developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is diverting his attention back to Haunted Chocolatier - and even though he announced the new game "kind of early," he assures fans it's still underway.

Speaking in a recent update on the official Haunted Chocolatier website, ConcernedApe first admits that he's "been a little sad to see Haunted Chocolatier getting dusty on the shelf," but says he can't just easily "let go" of Stardew Valley "to work on something that isn’t already established and meaningful to people" yet. That doesn't mean that the long-awaited new sim isn't ever going to come to fruition, however.
