I wish he'd hurry up and get haunted chocolatier released. Im starting to feel like Im taking advantage of our relationship here, just getting update after update without paying him more.

He made it on his own. 40 Million copies even at 10$ and with steam taking 30% is still 280,000,000$. I honestly don't think you need to worry for ConcernedApe's financial situation.
LOL. We're not talking about a "hurry up" kinda dude here. His development story is wild. It's a miracle that he ever actually released Stardew.
Worst case, buy a second copy for your cat, she deserves it :)
Steam, Switch, GOG - I even buy it for my friends!
Phone as well!
Just buy it for random people on your Steam friends list if you want to do that. There are still plenty of people who don't own it (like me) and it might finally give them the push to play it.
My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcernedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.
(Right now, I'm between jobs, so I can't buy for you, other readers.)
Who doesn't already own a copy?
He's sold 41 Million Copies so far. It shares 19th place with the
Modern Warfare reboot
Tbh I can barely believe that Modern Warfare has sold anywhere near as many units as Stardew.
Stardew is masterpiece, Modern Warfare is a video game.
~40M copies, ~8B ppl, so ownership rates are about 0.5%.
You might meet one of the lucky 10k that learn about Stardew Valley today, and you can enable them with a gift purchase.
This is his happy place when we needs to relax from working on Haunted Chocolatier.
Looking forward to the next final update.
terraria vibes.
(not complaining)
everyone look surprised
Same look I use when a rock band "retires"
That game will be the second coming of Terraria
What second coming? Terraria still has another update in the pipe.
I am firmly convinced that we will continue to receive sporadic Terraria updates until Red literally dies
didn't say that the first appearance was over already ;-)
Feel like it’s already there
He's the Hayao Myazaki of gaming.
He's doing for games what Peter Molyneux did for beans in the Middle East.
I hope he adds a follower system or officially brings over Expanded. Those are the two mods that keep me on PC.
What does expanded add ?
It extends the town and surrounding areas, and adds quite a few new NPCs with associated story lines.
I've never modded stardew but I'll give it a go
Ty !
A bit of advice: you need to install SMAPI first (Stardew Modding API) first. Also, Nexus mods is where most people get their mods. The one in question is called "Stardew Valley Expanded"
You saved him a lot of time and trouble! You're a cool human.
Thank you
Ty !
Man, you've got to dive into SDV mods.
Stardew is a great game, maybe an 8/10, but with mods it is an amazing game, 10/10.
Is it hard to mod on deck ?
I've modded it on Linux, it's not much different or more difficult. There's an article how to set it up here
Dunno, I'm PC, sorry.
It's the same process as on Windows
Probably, but since I don't own and have never touched a Steam Deck, but the question was directed at me, I could only honestly answer with my unawareness.
Seems weird as fuck to get downvoted for not knowing about a thing I don't have experience with, but hey.

I'm pretty sure you got downvoted for suggesting Steam Deck's and/or Linux don't count as PC's.
Also, it's one downvote
Damn, following the footsteps of the great Terraria devs. o7
This is definitely not going to be the last update.
Even the original claim didn't say it would be the last update. It said it would be the last update until the release of haunted chocolatier.
for real this time
That's what they said last time. Actually, I think this is what I said last time, too.
Can't wait for the next update
Great. Now I have to go back and play ANOTHER time through
I'm flabbergasted.
Wonder what it will add.
i saw one mod that had a digging in the trash skill i thought was pretty neat. i mostly play on console though so
Ridiculous cookie wall, can't use the website
