Haunted Chocolatier Shows Why Developers Shouldn’t Rush Game Releases

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the news of Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update and the impending release of Haunted Chocolatier has left me in a state of anticipation. While I understand the need for developers to prioritize their projects, it is always bittersweet when a beloved game like Stardew Valley receives an update that might be its last.


After the release of Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update on consoles and mobile devices this November, creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone has stated that he will resume work on his second game, titled Haunted Chocolatier. Initially announced in 2021, the development of Hotel Chocolatier was paused while Barone focused on porting Stardew Valley’s massive Update 1.6 to consoles and mobile platforms. Despite causing a delay for Haunted Chocolatier, the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley adds fresh content and fixes to the farm simulation game, benefiting both Barone and enthusiastic fans of Stardew Valley. The postponement of Haunted Chocolatier may ultimately lead to a more successful debut.

In an interview with Aftermath, Barone shared that he had the choice to set Stardew Valley aside while working on version 1.0 of Haunted Chocolatier, but instead, he decided to fully focus on updating Stardew Valley to version 1.6. He even brought a new team aboard to help with this update. Barone took his time developing Haunted Chocolatier, which allowed him to eventually release the Stardew Valley 1.6 update for consoles and mobile devices in November.

Hurrying up the 1.6 update to access Haunted Chocolatier sooner might have led to an earlier release of the game. But, this speedy process could potentially mean a lower quality update for Stardew Valley enthusiasts, leaving both loyal fans and newcomers interested in Haunted Chocolatier somewhat unsatisfied.

6 Update for Stardew Valley could potentially be its final version, as Barone has been meticulously preparing an outstanding release before he transitions to work on the Haunted Chocolatier project.

In a fresh take on Haunted Chocolatier, players can anticipate novel mechanics and gameplay, including an entirely new combat system. Unlike Stardew Valley’s relaxed approach to battling enemies, this game will lean heavily towards action-packed combat. With Barone now able to bring Stardew Valley 1.6 to platforms beyond PC, enthusiasts can look forward to additional information about the Hotel Chocolatier project.
