Developer ConcernedApe has said that work on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier, will continue when Stardew Valley's 1.6 update is complete.
Last week (March 20) ConcernedApe, aka Eric Barone, finally released the long-awaited and highly anticipated 1.6 patch for his popular farming simulator, which introduced a ton of exciting new content updates, including an eighth alternate farm, NPC dialogue, and festivals.
For now, the update is only available on PC via Steam and GOG, and the developer is currently hard at work addressing any ongoing issues players may be experiencing since it was released, with several small hotfixes already live.
With ConcernedApe's entire attention focused on the latest Stardew Valley update, it had some fans wondering about the developer's next title, Haunted Chocolatier, which was announced in October 2021.
ConcernedApe took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to a fan asking about the game's progress and confirmed that he will be returning to work on it after Stardew Valley 1.6 is complete (via GameSpot).
«I am eager to get back to work on it,» ConcernedApe said. «But I have to see Stardew 1.6 settled, bug-free and out to all platforms first.»
Update 1.6 still needs to be pushed out for Xbox Game Pass, which ConcernedApe previously said is «coming soon», as well as PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, macOS, and mobile.

Haunted Chocolatier is very similar in terms of style to Stardew Valley, like the same pixelated art style for its setting and characters, and will also feature the familiar crafting system as well as some friendly ghosts that seem to help the player manage their chocolate shop.
Development updates on the upcoming indie game have been quiet for a while. The most recent piece of news we received about the game came in the form of an X post in August 2022 alongside a single screenshot, so we'll likely have to wait a little longer for any word on a release date.
Yet another new patch is on the way to Stardew Valley on PC, this time promising to iron out more bugs and even add "a few goodies."
Stardew Valley is getting a new update soon that will fix some bugs and add some additional content. WhileStardew Valley players are waiting for the console versions to update, developer Eric «ConcernedApe» Barone is still hard at work squashing any remaining bugs and surprising players with additions.
Stardew Valley just received a big update about two weeks ago, bringing many new features and items to the game and it has had players enjoying themselves ever since. However, the update was only avaliable on PC and not to those on console and mobile. But, that is about to change.
Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has released patch 1.6.3 for PC that implements a variety of improvements and bug fixes for the popular indie game. Some of the issues fixed in this update were introduced with Stardew Valley's major patch earlier in March.
Stardew Valley, one of our favourite RPGs despite coming out almost a decade ago, still has an attentive steward in the form of developer Eric Barone. After the recent 1.6 mega-update to the game, which added a whole bunch of stuff, Barone (better known in his developer form as ConcernedApe) Xeeted out a list of fixes in the now-available 1.6.3 update. This makes tweaks to things arising from 1.6 (many of them addressing moss, a new foraging item) and fixes bugs, one of which was causing 'excess trash' to be fished.
Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update has reportedly added a new way to complete the Mayor Lewis quest and unlock the Lucky Purple Shorts item. In a recent update, developer Eric Barone has teased Stardew Valley players by introducing a certain twist to this quest that references an old in-game bug.
Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update has given players a new way to get their hands on Mayor Lewis’ coveted Lucky Purple Shorts, while referencing a popular bug found in earlier versions of the game.
The past week has seen Stardew Valley players hungrily exploring the wealth of new content, bug fixes, and Easter eggs that have made their way to the PC version of the beloved farming RPG courtesy of the newly released 1.6 update.
Developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has revealed that he will be getting back to work on developing his next game, Haunted Chocolatier, once he can be sure that work on the recently-released major update for Stardew Valley has been completed.
Stardew Valley's Eric Barone says he's "eager" to get back to working on Haunted Chocolatier, but is focused on the farming game's 1.6 update for now.
One of the most wholesome stories about Stardew Valley's 1.6 update launch was that the developer behind the farming sim's most beloved modding project, Stardew Valley Expanded, helped make it happen. And yet that might not have come to be if FlashShifter hadn't fallen on hard times after an unfortunate brush with car theft.
The developer of Stardew Valley is continuing to iron out the recently released 1.6 update, as the latest patch "fixes an issue with Willy's rod." Quiet in the back.
