by

The creator behind both “Stardew Valley” and the upcoming game “Haunted Chocolatier” has revealed a fresh snapshot of the latter, offering fans a sneak peek at the artwork and ambiance of the title. Developer ConcernedApe has also hinted at a much-loved – albeit contentious – mini-game from “Stardew Valley,” which will make its reappearance in “Haunted Chocolatier.

The game titled “Haunted Chocolatier” was initially announced in 2021, with its creator expressing intentions to launch it no later than 2030. Despite consistent work on the game, the developer, known as ConcernedApe, has been frequently focusing on updates for “Stardew Valley,” which involves adding content and rectifying glitches. This divide in attention means that progress on “Haunted Chocolatier” has been slower, but over time, the developer has steadily shared more details about the forthcoming title, including recent revelations.

On Twitter, the creator of “Haunted Chocolatier” recently shared a new game snapshot, showcasing the substantial advancement in his artistry since “Stardew Valley”. Although there are some visual resemblances between the two, the artwork in “Haunted Chocolatier” seems to be more refined, with intricate details on items like the ground and trees. Additionally, the design of the character sprites has been altered compared to those in his initial project. The screenshot presents a character gazing at a flowing river nestled between two forested areas, boasting a massive treehouse equipped with windows, an archway, and mushrooms clinging to its sides.

In the screenshot, something intriguing is shown, and it sparks a question from a fan about whether fishing would be included in the game again. The creator confirmed that fishing will indeed be part of the game but didn’t provide any additional details, leading to speculation among fans. While some players relish the fishing system in Stardew Valley, others find it challenging, particularly during the early stages. To make fishing more accessible in Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe introduced a training rod. Given this history, it’s thought that he may have considered player feedback when developing Haunted Chocolatier.

Currently, enthusiasts can only anticipate further information about the Haunted Chocolatier, as time passes. The occasional tidbit from the developer maintains excitement among fans, and in the interim, Stardew Valley continues to flourish with an active player base and a bustling modding community.
