Stardew Valley Creator Says He Won’t Definitively Close The Book On Future Updates

A few months back, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone  released a Version 1.6 update for his popular indie life sim Stardew Valley, adding a plethora of new content to the game.

In an interview with NPR, Barone revealed that he may continue to return to updating Stardew Valley in the future, despite already being hard at work on his second game Haunted Chocolatier. Barone says in the interview that he doesn’t want to “definitively say that the book is ever closed”, and he might even add something “50 years” from now.

I don’t want to definitively say that the book is ever closed, because I think I will always have a desire to come back and maybe add a thing or two. You know, maybe even 50 years from now, I might add something.”

However, he does also mention that he believes a game can have “too much content”, and he will end development on Stardew if he feels that the game is getting too overwhelming.

“I think a game can have too much content. And I ultimately want Stardew Valley to be the best game it can be. So if I feel like it’s starting to become kind of overwhelmed with content to the point where it’s detrimental to the game’s entertainment factor, I would stop.”
