Overview

• Eric Barone says the Stardew Valley update could push Haunted Chocolatier back "maybe a little, but not as much as you might think."
• A small team is developing most of Stardew Valley 1.7, a setup he has used since the 1.3 update in 2018.
• Barone remains the sole developer of Haunted Chocolatier and says he has no plans to change that.
• He notes 1.7 has no release date and might even launch after Haunted Chocolatier, with no guarantees either way.
• He says Stardew Valley’s ongoing popularity drives continued improvements even if it means the second game takes longer.
