Eric" ConcernedApe" Barone, the celebrated creator of Stardew Valley, is working on a new game called Haunted Chocolatier. In it, players will manage a confectionary store and crop constituents to craft some sweets, all while interacting with friendly ghosts and seeing colorful NPCs. Although Haunted Chocolatier does partake some face- position parallels with Stardew Valley, it will still be fairly distinct from its precursor in large part because of its heavier emphasis on combat. The game wo n't only give players a wide magazine of munitions to use in battle, it'll also feature in- depth combat pushes like stuns, blocks, and quick attacks. Due to this significant shift in gameplay style, Haunted Chocolatier will be further of an action RPG rather than a traditional, Stardew Valley- suchlike husbandry sim.
Haunted Chocolatier was formally unveiled in October 2021, but work on the game originally began in 2020. still, in April 2024, Eric Barone revealed that he'd be temporarily breaking development on the forthcoming action RPG in order to get Stardew Valley's recent 1.6 update eschewal on consoles and mobile phones as soon as possible. Months after this advertisement, Barone stated in a Twitter post on August 28 that he sorely" had n't touched Haunted Chocolatier in a long time" because he was still" committed to finishing" the forenamed update first. Since development on the title has yet to be proceeded , it seems like players will not get their hands on ConcernedApe's coming game anytime soon. When Haunted Chocolatier does ultimately come out, however, it should be released on iOS and Android on day one so that it can reach an indeed bigger followership than Stardew Valley did upon its launch.
These days, Stardew Valley can be played on nearly anything with a screen, from tablets and consoles to phones and Chromebooks. This was not always the case, still. When the game made its debut in February 2016, it was only available on Windows PCs via Steam. ultimately, however, the title came to macOS and Linux in July of that time, with performances for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One being released shortly later in December. Stardew Valley landed on the Nintendo Switch as well in October 2017, and was unexpectedly ported to the PlayStation Vita in May 2018. Meanwhile, the game came to mobile phones nearly two- and-a-half times after its original release. While the iOS interpretation was launched in October 2018, the Android harborage was released in March 2019.
Indeed though Stardew Valley was ported to iOS and Android so late into its lifetime, the game still performed well on the two platforms. On the Apple App Store, in particular, the hit indie husbandry sim earned further than$ 1 million in profit in the first three weeks after its release. Considering the title only bring$ 5 on mobile phones and not$ 15, like on consoles and PCs, this was enough emotional. What is indeed more emotional, however, is the fact that Stardew Valley continues to eclipse the deals maps on both Google Play and the App Store further than five times following its launch on those storefronts.
Since Stardew Valley was such a success on iOS and Android despite entering a staggered launch on the platforms, one can only imagine how important of a rout hit Haunted Chocolatier can be if it releases on mobile phones on day one. The number of gamers on iOS and Android far outnumber those on consoles and PCs, so if ConcernedApe is unfit to get the game out on all platforms at launch, also a contemporaneous release on Windows, iOS, and Android would be the stylish way to expose the title to a veritably large followership. presently, Haunted Chocolatier is only slated to land on Windows PCs, but Eric Barone has expressed his desire to launch the game on all major platforms at some point, so a day- and- date release for mobile bias is not inescapably off the table just yet.
