The end of Stardew Valley? Developer talks about the future of the game

After all the big and small updates that Stardew Valley has received over time, the end could now have come: The developer wants to concentrate more on his next project.

Stardew Valley developer Eric Barone teamed up with Twitcher UnsurpassableZ to host a Stardew Valley competition packed with speedrunner challenges and more. Barone was there live during the stream and has a few among others Questions about Stardew Valley answered.

The question also arose whether Barone would one day Update on the marriage candidates would publish: It is currently possible to marry one of twelve residents of the city; the rest cannot be charmed. Barone replied that he thinks the idea is good, but that every single candidate is quite a bit of work:

“In order for someone to be a candidate for marriage, I have to add a lot of dialogue and at least two big events, and those events take up a lot of time. It might seem like no big deal, but it would take a fair amount of time. And there’s more that needs to be done – the spouse’s space needs to be created. It’s just really a lot. That’s also why I haven’t added more characters to marry. But there is no reason why it shouldn’t be anymore. I think that would be pretty cool. “

So it is in the hands of modders to add new characters to marry. As the stream progresses, Barone goes one step further and explains that he is currently not planning any further updates for Stardew Valley:

“I’m not saying there will be any more updates to Stardew Valley. I just don’t know right now. Right now I’m focusing on my next game. So we’ll see. “

So far, little is known about the new game by Barone: It is supposed to be a pixel art game from a bird’s eye view, similar to Stardew Valley, but not with farming in focus.
