Stardew Valley has been a monumental success all round and the game's creator Eric Barone says he isn't ready to close the book on the game just yet despite having a new project in the works, the Haunted Chocolatier. Barone says that if he feels that the game has too much content and that players are starting to feel overwhelmed, then he would stop, but at present he doesn't feel as though this is happening.
Summers: You've said elsewhere that you could work on Stardew Valley for the rest of your life. So I do wonder, do you see a future at some point where you'll be done with this game, where Stardew Valley feels like it's complete?
Barone: I think a game can have too much content. And I ultimately want Stardew Valley to be the best game it can be. So if I feel like it's starting to become kind of overwhelmed with content to the point where it's detrimental to the game's entertainment factor, I would stop at that point.
Another thing is, I do want to make more than one game in my life. Including the development time, I've been working on Stardew Valley for over 12 years now. But I don't want to definitively say that the book is ever closed, because I think I will always have a desire to come back and maybe add a thing or two. You know, maybe even 50 years from now, I might add something.
