    That guy legitimately made his hobby into his job.

    There’s 0 reasons for him to still keep updating the game with as much content as he’s doing except for his own satisfaction. Truly the best developer a game can have

    A good man.

      He’s so concerned about everyone.

    The title of this post should probably include the words console and mobile.

    Well, time to start a new farm. Again.

    As a PC player, I’m glad our hardware cousins get to play 1.6 - it’s a good update and ConcernedApe again going above and beyond. What I’m most excited for though is that this may mean Haunted Chocolatier gets back into development. Fields of Mistria did a good job scratching the itch before I ran out of Early Access content, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Barrone comes up with in his next game

      I don’t think ConcernedApe does the console and mobile versions, I would assume he got back to Haunted Chocolatier after 1.6 dropped on PC. Pretty sure he licenses the porting process.

        He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.

        It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.

      You might like Chef RPG. It’s early access but it’s been fun and the developer seems very responsive.

    I’ve heard the hype but I have never played this game. What am I missing?

      It has essentially killed Harvest Moon as the established farm simulator for relaxed gaming.

      If you know someone that loves games, but hates fighting or quick skill-based stuff, they will lose hundreds of hours to this game.

      • Landless2029@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah well Samsung killed harvest moon so we needed a successor.

        ConcernedApe fucking delivered. Much relax. Very cute. Such plot.

        Fields of Mysteria is looking pretty promising as a stardew replacement

      If you like this genre of games, then this is one of the best, so yes, play it. It’s a great, addictive, one more… kind of game with a ton of stuff to do, lots of goals short and long term.

      I never really care for the dating sim portion of these kinds of games all that much, so I can’t comment on that part much, but the rest is great!

        Can always go the krobus route, platonic roomates with a friendly shadow monster.

      There’s farming and fishing, tons to collect and craft and upgrade, there’s dungeons, there’s relationships and rare items, and variety of play in the seasons and festivals… But for me, my favorite thing is just how damn charming it all is. The soundtrack is great and atmospheric, even the sound effect of just chopping down a tree is so perfect and satisfying! It’s pretty cheap and appeals to such a wide variety of gamers… So give it a try!

      If you like this genre this game is at the very top. I played Harvest Moon back in the day and this game surpasses it in almost every way. Plus, it’s $20 and goes on sale for less than that very frequently, sometimes as low as $5. It’s not like you’re losing much if you pick it up.

      if you’ve got 15 usd to spare it’s a great relaxing timekiller.

    • Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Great game with some simple fighting against creatures, foraging, farming, fishing, building, simple life role playing, romance, and all good vibs. Everything is optional though.

      Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

        Calling Stardew unfinished is hilarious.

        Bro, the man’s basically releasing free dlc not updating an early access game. The game was never in early access and all your saves are compatible with the new expansions (I sometimes still play the same farm I’ve had since the game was first released). The game already has more content than any other game in the genre and ConcernedApe is still releasing all updates for free and promised to never charge for anything new added to the game. What is there to complain about when you’re getting free shit where in most games it costs $5 to $10?

        Would you say to not play World of Warcraft until it is “finished”? It has huge game changing updates all the time.

    I haven’t played since 1.0. Worth jumping back in?

    • britishblaze@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’d say so, alot of late game content now plus the mod scene is pretty strong if you want to really mix things up.

    • Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Absolutely, there is sooooo much more content now and the balance and QoL is tonnes better too. Still recommend using the wiki late game though.
