Stardew Valley Dev Thanked Fans for Their Support; Screenshots From New Game
The creator of Stardew Valley has stirred up a lot of interest with four new screenshots from Haunted Chocolatier. At the same time, he thanked his fans for the big achievement on Twitter/X.

Eric Barone, more widely known as ConcernedApe, won the hearts of gamers with the iconic Stardew Valley. His next creation - Haunted Chocolatier - is poised to repeat that success. The creator has been very active on X/Twitter lately, which pleases the players, as they regularly receive new information about his work, even if it is very limited. Barone recently reached one million followers on the aforementioned website, and on this occasion he presented his fans with a small gift..
Four screenshots for a million followers
On the occasion of reaching one million followers on X/Twitter, ConcernedApe has shared four new screenshots from Haunted Chocolatier (we've posted them below), on which - in addition to update 1.6 for Stardew Valley - he is currently working.
The screenshots show the interior of a house, along with crates that presumably contain the ingredients for making candy, a fight with an enemy, an atmospheric-looking fountain in a nighttime setting, whose sculptures I associate with the mermaid from Stardew Valley, and a gloomy-looking library. These four images were enough to inspire joy in fans.
"I love you and your games," declares BigZombie
"Eric, I can't wait, this looks great. You have changed my life with Stardew Valley, as it has helped me through many difficult times in my life. Thank you for all you do," appreciates Sir Yacht
"I can't wait to play this!," writes Shockingly Shimmy
Unfortunately the release date of Haunted Chocolatier is not yet known, and we will probably wait a while for this game. This is because currently ConcernedApe is busy fine-tuning update 1.6 for Stardew Valley.
