I’m flabbergasted.

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

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.

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

BigPotato,

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

RebekahWSD,
@RebekahWSD@lemmy.world avatar

Phone as well!

Cethin,

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.

Prox,

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.

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,

Who doesn’t already own a copy?

He’s sold 41 Million Copies so far. It shares 19th place with the
Modern Warfare reboot

Vespair,

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, (edited )

~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,

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.

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

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

What does expanded add ?

BradleyUffner,

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

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

Ty !

mnemonicmonkeys,

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”

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

mnemonicmonkeys,

Thank you

Vespair,

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,
@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Is it hard to mod on deck ?

Vespair,

Dunno, I’m PC, sorry.

mnemonicmonkeys,

It’s the same process as on Windows

Vespair,

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.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Seems weird as fuck to get downvoted for not knowing about a thing

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

pirateKaiser,

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

Wonder what it will add.

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

Wildmimic, do games w Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all

That game will be the second coming of Terraria

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Feel like it’s already there

ech,

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

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

Wildmimic,

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

Poopfeast420, do games w Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all

Looking forward to the next final update.

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

Wouldn't this encourage companies to be sloppy, cause "others will fix it for us"?

Eurogamer is shit. You can serve ads without tracking. But, they don’t care.

echodot,

Yeah I hate this trend of you have to subscribe in order to not be tracked. I just agree to the cookies and then block them at the OS level. Get to have my cake and eat it too.

@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Probably invaluable if you’re intent on pumping out slop.

Video games are an art. If you outsource your art to shitty robots…what service is it that you’re providing? What are you doing that I can’t do my fucking self.

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

all parts of videogames are art. sound, visuals, level design, code. you could make the argument that someone who enjoys some of those things but not all of them could more easily get a thing out the door if they could automate one part of it.

ArchmageAzor,
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

Why should a single developer of a game not be allowed to offload making textures for a gravel road or some other brain-numbing task onto AI, and use the time saved to make the main features of the game better?

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

exactly. aside from the ethical concerns of using unknown source material.

echodot,

Personally I agree. The problem is then you have to declare it and the way that steam currently handles that declaration is literally the worst possible implementation of the idea, - all games just get dumped into the same category of “uses AI”. I would actually prefer them to just take the tag away, then keep it in its current dysfunctional state.

It’s just a tag that says that AI was used in some aspect of making the game, but there’s no breakdown of how the AI was used, did it author code or did it design background elements that no one will really see, because there’s a huge difference there, and the distinction is important.

Making the rest of the video game.

ArchmageAzor,
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

Way I see it AI should be allowed to be used on grunt work that stays in the background. Stuff nobody would notice but that would still take up time, so the dev can focus on making the stuff in the foreground better. Indie dev teams can be small, sometimes just one person, and the quality stands to increase if they can offload dumb, time-consuming tasks elsewhere.

No, I’m not talking about LLMs here.

De_Narm, do games w AI was a common theme at Gamescom 2025, and while some indie teams say it's invaluable, it remains an ethical nightmare

Honestly, it would be weird for any industry to start caring about ethics after all this time.

Not an endorsement of AI but a criticism of capitalism.
