Harvest Moon 64 was one of my favorite games on the Nintendo 64; like with Ocarina of Time and Metroid Prime, Harvest Moon 64 is a game that I go back to annually. I haven’t latched onto any of the recent Harvest Moon games the same way I did with 64, though, and Harvest Moon-like games such as Rune Factory and Story of Seasons didn’t do it for me, either. I figured I’d try one more game that was reminiscent of Harvest Moon 64 in Stardew Valley for PlayStation 4. I put in a good five or six hours over the course of several days before it was officially announced for Nintendo Switch. That’s when I decided to hold off until it finally came out for Switch, and that decision has paid off because I can’t imagine any other way to play Stardew Valley.
ConcernedApe has reassured fans on social media that this version of the game is still in progress, and acknowledges the fact it is "taking a long time". This version, along with the mobile port, has been the "primary focus" for the team since the rollout of this update on the PC in March.
Stardew Valley has an impressive amount of lore and depth for an independent video game, and delving into it when time has passed could be fun.
Let’s just get Haunted Chocolatier released first. We still don’t even have a whisper of a release date. And ConcernedApe will probably do updates for HC for a few years. We’re likely nearly a decade away from Stardew Valley 2.
I love SV but I wish he had just moved onto Chocolatier instead of continuing to add to SV. But I think he mentioned it’s therapeutic or something so I can’t be mad. I do highly respect his commitment to his craft.
