This is his happy place when we needs to relax from working on Haunted Chocolatier.

[–] Poopfeast420@lemmy.zip 87 points 2 months ago

Looking forward to the next final update.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 74 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I wish he'd hurry up and get haunted chocolatier released. Im starting to feel like Im taking advantage of our relationship here, just getting update after update without paying him more.

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

LOL. We're not talking about a "hurry up" kinda dude here. His development story is wild. It's a miracle that he ever actually released Stardew.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Worst case, buy a second copy for your cat, she deserves it :)

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Steam, Switch, GOG - I even buy it for my friends!

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Phone as well!

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Just buy it for random people on your Steam friends list if you want to do that. There are still plenty of people who don't own it (like me) and it might finally give them the push to play it.

[–] bss03 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcernedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.

(Right now, I'm between jobs, so I can't buy for you, other readers.)

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Who doesn't already own a copy?

He's sold 41 Million Copies so far. It shares 19th place of all time best sellers with the Modern Warfare reboot.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Tbh I can barely believe that Modern Warfare has sold anywhere near as many units as Stardew.

Stardew is masterpiece, Modern Warfare is a video game.

[–] bss03 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

~40M copies, ~8B ppl, so ownership rates are about 0.5%.

You might meet one of the lucky 10k that learn about Stardew Valley today, and you can enable them with a gift purchase.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

He made it on his own. 40 Million copies even at 10$ and with steam taking 30% is still 280,000,000$. I honestly don't think you need to worry for ConcernedApe's financial situation.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 64 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago

Same look I use when a rock band "retires"

[–] Wildmimic@piefed.social 50 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That game will be the second coming of Terraria

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What second coming? Terraria still has another update in the pipe.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago

I am firmly convinced that we will continue to receive sporadic Terraria updates until Red literally dies

[–] Wildmimic@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

didn't say that the first appearance was over already ;-)

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Feel like it’s already there

[–] 7112@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope he adds a follower system or officially brings over Expanded. Those are the two mods that keep me on PC.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It extends the town and surrounding areas, and adds quite a few new NPCs with associated story lines.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've never modded stardew but I'll give it a go

Ty !

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A bit of advice: you need to install SMAPI first (Stardew Modding API) first. Also, Nexus mods is where most people get their mods. The one in question is called "Stardew Valley Expanded"

[–] jimerson@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You saved him a lot of time and trouble! You're a cool human.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man, you've got to dive into SDV mods.

Stardew is a great game, maybe an 8/10, but with mods it is an amazing game, 10/10.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is it hard to mod on deck ?

[–] pirateKaiser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I've modded it on Linux, it's not much different or more difficult. There's an article how to set it up here

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the same process as on Windows

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Probably, but since I don't own and have never touched a Steam Deck, but the question was directed at me, I could only honestly answer with my unawareness.

Seems weird as fuck to get downvoted for not knowing about a thing I don't have experience with, but hey.

I'm pretty sure you got downvoted for suggesting Steam Deck's and/or Linux don't count as PC's.

Also, it's one downvote

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's the Hayao Myazaki of gaming.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He's doing for games what Peter Molyneux did for beans in the Middle East.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

i saw one mod that had a digging in the trash skill i thought was pretty neat. i mostly play on console though so

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Damn, following the footsteps of the great Terraria devs. o7

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

This is definitely not going to be the last update.

Even the original claim didn't say it would be the last update. It said it would be the last update until the release of haunted chocolatier.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

for real this time

That's what they said last time. Actually, I think this is what I said last time, too.

Can't wait for the next update

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I'm flabbergasted.

[–] Mavytan@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ridiculous cookie wall, can't use the website

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Great. Now I have to go back and play ANOTHER time through
