Eric Barone is developing one of the most anticipated games
It is very difficult for there to be people who do not know Stardew Valley, and it is not only a benchmark among farm games, it is perhaps one of the great indie titles in history. Over the years it has managed to truly position itself as a benchmark in many ways, but it is especially meritorious considering that this title It was developed by a single person: Eric Barone. For this reason we can say that its development was complicated, and really took a long time, which ended up affecting the person responsible for the project in a negative way, and clearly this is an experience that could affect the development of his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.
After the success of his first games, fans are looking forward to his next project, but it looks like it will take a while to see it, although it is for a very good reason. As he told Aftermath categorically, “it's better to have a delayed game that's really good than a bad game that arrives on time,” and then noted that “when it's ready, then I'll release it.”
Eric Barone himself continued to point out that “I don't feel like I owe anyone anything when it comes to Haunted Chocolatier,” and then point out that “it's a game I'm deciding to play. I don't need to play it.” In this way it makes it quite clear to us what type of project the aforementioned title is, and allows us to get more excited about it, even if we have to wait a while.
The development of Stardew Valley did not go smoothly
Later this developer talks about his experience developing Stardew Valley, making clear the reason why he does not want to relive those moments. “Before I made Stardew Valley, I was hunched over my computer all day,” explains Eric Barone. “My goal in life is not to make money. I want to create things and share them with the world. That's what it's all about.”
“That's what I will do, regardless of any other circumstances, as long as I can support myself financially to do it,” and in this way Eric Barone himself closes the door to self-imposing a series of commitments simply to have this title ahead of time.
