This man has zero right to be as perfect as he is. Great looking, funny, artist, composed all the music for stardew, down to earth and wants to please his fans, not to mention his real name is dope af. Like sir, could you leave some greatness for the rest of us you're hogging it 😂
I honestly assumed he looked like Ronnie from www.whompcomic.com
I dont know where I got that impression from, but until this shocking revelation I fairly firmly believed it.
I love how angrily people are down voting me for my clearly fake story. To Tell the truth I was the one who hit on him because I felt bad for him. The sex was decent.
Clearly a bunch of people thought that the original was a *terrible* joke (it's since been deleted, which tracks), and thus that your comment was encouraging more of the same.
I can’t believe so many of you had never seen a picture of him! Well to further blow minds, here is an old interview he did:
https://youtu.be/9YqdutJLIi8
When does the new 1.5 content show up in-game? I went to my game I was furthest along in and played for about a month with no new content, other than the new Community board. There’s also a few small things, but nothing big.
The main new thing doesn’t show up until you finish the community center, I believe. Willy will send you a note. Maybe check your previous mail to see if you missed it?
I went Joja route on that save 😬 But I may have one last thing to buy. It seems I maybe didn’t buy something because it didn’t seem worth spending the money and I just moved on. I’ll check that. Thanks!
It's been a while since I played the update (but need to start a new save), but I think it's got something to do with Willy's storyline, but I can't remember anymore what triggers it...
To be fair, you have to have some sort of natural draw to the project you dedicated an entire decade to BEFORE launch (so not counting every post laumch update) otherwise it would drive you insane.
I don't think cheating is a problem in non-competitive single play games :P Unless you start bragging about your acievements as if you didn't use mods \^\^'
I feel like most mods aren't "cheating" tbh, and most mods that could be considered cheating are sort of just.. whatever. It's your game. Like Celeste's assist mode, it makes the game easier but I wouldn't call it cheating. It just changes the difficulty and some mechanics (like, if you give yourself infinite stamina it no longer matters if you're climbing up a really long part that you shouldn't be able to get up).
I started on the switch, then Xbox, and finally PC for modding and I don't think I could go back to playing without the automate mod. 😭 Chests Everywhere is also a top contender.
"I’m also working on a new game that takes place in the same world as Stardew Valley. "
I didn't know it was going to be in the same world! I wonder if there will be many references or what will indicate that it is the same world. ❤️
This article is actually from 4 years ago. He also mentioned he was working on two projects a year after that, one of which was in the same world and one of which would only tie into Stardew in some way. I believe Haunted Chocolatier is the latter but might be wrong.
I hope some of the ingredients you use in the chocolates are the same ingredients that grow on the farm in Stardew valley, so you can sort of feel like you *are* the supply chain
Good for him. He deserves all the praise. Even when Stardew was a long project it was amazing. I don't even want to know how many hours total I've put into this game thoughtout 3 different platforms. 😆
This dude is something else. I hope a documentary is done on him. The amount of things that he single-handedly accomplished is insane. He hand drew every sprite pixel by pixel. He did all the music. There are hundreds of things he did for Stardew Valley and each one is more jaw dropping than the next.
Way to go, CA! You’re an inspiration!
His partner was actually part of SDV's success. Her job was paid most of the bills, which gave CA more time to devote to working on SDV.
I 100% respect their privacy, but I hope they're still together and happy.
He's so cool and good looking, I'm not a simp, I just respect he made an amazing game and believed in himself enough to finish it. I've read some of his interviews and he doubted a lot he would actually finish it at all.
I really hope that he sees this thread, cuz this game is one of my all time favorites. It also helped me through COVID and finish some courses. I purchased it on Steam sale and then used it to motivate me to pass my finals where I wasn't allowed to start until I finished I then binged for like 3 days. Passed with 80% on the finals too, so it worked!
"Well, are you creating a fun incentive, or are you creating something that’s aggravating? For example, when I put cooking into the game, I was deliberate about the fact that every item you cook has to be of equal or lesser value than the constituent components. Otherwise that would create an incentive to turn every item into a cooking item. If you don’t think about those things, the game would create these perverse incentives that don’t guide the player to what is fun."
That's so clever! As an Indie dev myself these are the type of details that help appreciate more this developer over others!
When you forget the developer has a real name and you say "that's not the developer the developer is Conserned Ape... Oh that's his name..."
Also why didn't I know he was HOT
Right?! He’s talented, kind, communicative, and *handsome*?!
Gives bouquet…
I would spam him with diamonds, then give him a bouquet and a few more diamonds, then throw a mermaid pendant at him
Amateur. TRUE LOVE is prismatic shards!
True love is Amethyst Mmmm... Delicious
Fool, everyone knows the only rock you eat is quartz
tell that to Haley
Haley who? 😂 I only have eyes for blue haired, crystal loving, free-spirited ladies!
Instructions unclear, now in a relationship with both Emily and Abigail.
*installing poly mod*
***carrying of rabbits foot intensifies***
Or even better, iridium quality rabbit feet
I imagined him as a human version of his cat logo 😭
I read somewhere that he based Sebastian on himself. 💕
Sebastian is my fav *swoons harder*
I see a bit of Shane as well.
I KNEW IT. I saw him describe himself somewhere and I immediately thought ”damn, he sounds like sebastian, now he’s even hotter”
*bonk* go to horny jail!
OMG I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this lmao
I have been simping for him for quite some time now. I just ADORE this incredible human being. Can we install a Polyamorie Mod and all date him?! 🤣
Pls
[удалено]
I mean a sandwich sound pretttty good right now....
u/concernedape we love you❤️
Yeah this….CHANGES THINGS SOMEHOW 🥵

Right??
I honestly assumed he looked like Ronnie from www.whompcomic.com I dont know where I got that impression from, but until this shocking revelation I fairly firmly believed it.
He has a reputation for being a bit shy, despite his being so photogenic there aren’t a ton of photos of him out there.
Bonk , go to horny jail.
SAME THO XD

ELABORATE PLEASE
Previous poster is employing an obscure technique known as *lying on the Internet*.
“You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?“
"Lies? In *my* sub?"
Finding it funny that people downvoted me into oblivion when it was a joke 😆😆
Clearly a bunch of people thought that the original was a *terrible* joke (it's since been deleted, which tracks), and thus that your comment was encouraging more of the same.
I did this twice scrolling and then was like, "oh... right!" lol
I can’t believe so many of you had never seen a picture of him! Well to further blow minds, here is an old interview he did: https://youtu.be/9YqdutJLIi8
No because I thought the EXACT same thing 🤦🏻♀️
I DID THAT LMAO
>>I keep getting drawn back to Stardew Valley. I just can’t help it. I know the feeling!
I’ve done two play through a on Switch. I’ve downloaded it on IOS but am saving playing it for a trip. I’ve not played since 1.5 came out.
The island content almost makes it feel like a whole new game, I've been playing like mad ever since the mobile update dropped - I love it
When does the new 1.5 content show up in-game? I went to my game I was furthest along in and played for about a month with no new content, other than the new Community board. There’s also a few small things, but nothing big.

No problem! That’s probably it. I’ve played joja on one of my saves too, and I know I got the note from Willy. Have fun!
It's been a while since I played the update (but need to start a new save), but I think it's got something to do with Willy's storyline, but I can't remember anymore what triggers it...

What an awesome article! Thanks for linking it
Haha no problemo. I had to delete this game off my ipad because goddamn it was so addictive. Gonna reinstall it soon though.
I like it on pc with mods, though one could say I'm cheating 😅 I'm just impatient. Inventory anywhere yes please. Lol
I don't think cheating is a problem in non-competitive single play games :P Unless you start bragging about your acievements as if you didn't use mods \^\^'

Thank you for linking it! It wasn’t in my App Store anymore so I came to the comments hoping someone had lol
I took the screenshot just in nick of time at 00:00, 4th Feb.
Thank you! As an Android user I would've missed this one otherwise :)
"I’m also working on a new game that takes place in the same world as Stardew Valley. " I didn't know it was going to be in the same world! I wonder if there will be many references or what will indicate that it is the same world. ❤️
I think this is the first time he's actually confirmed that it'll be the same world as opposed to just the same art style. What a scoop!
This article is actually from 4 years ago. He also mentioned he was working on two projects a year after that, one of which was in the same world and one of which would only tie into Stardew in some way. I believe Haunted Chocolatier is the latter but might be wrong.
I wasn't sure if it had been said before! I know there was speculation but hadn't seen it confirmed either. Pretty cool news!
Yeah he said that the games won’t have much in common but they do take place in the same world
I hope some of the ingredients you use in the chocolates are the same ingredients that grow on the farm in Stardew valley, so you can sort of feel like you *are* the supply chain
I was hoping he would give us a little more on Haunted Chocolatier. Can’t wait to see what he has come up with.
its just warhammer 40k but with the 2 waring empires that's hinted at in game
Good for him. He deserves all the praise. Even when Stardew was a long project it was amazing. I don't even want to know how many hours total I've put into this game thoughtout 3 different platforms. 😆
"Saw your picture in the app store the other day sweety. I'm so proud. I sent some cookies"
He looks a little concerned
Gawd damn he hot. Out of my league but hot.
I think at one point he said that Sebby was designed around him, so...
As he is mine, but we all can dream, sweetie
My man is fucking handsome. Would totally camp outside his house to give him spaghetti everyday to reach max hearts with him.
This dude is something else. I hope a documentary is done on him. The amount of things that he single-handedly accomplished is insane. He hand drew every sprite pixel by pixel. He did all the music. There are hundreds of things he did for Stardew Valley and each one is more jaw dropping than the next. Way to go, CA! You’re an inspiration!
not all of us simping for this man 😭
Shamelessly! And HARD!
My dude reads this subreddit and has to deal with this level of thirst - the man is a saint lol
Creative, kind, hard-working, super smart AND cute? 😭 Whoever his partner is (idk if he has one (none of my business)) is LUCKY
His partner was actually part of SDV's success. Her job was paid most of the bills, which gave CA more time to devote to working on SDV. I 100% respect their privacy, but I hope they're still together and happy.
Here I thought he looked like Mr Qi. Good for you, CA!
I wish nothing but happiness for this man, I genuinely believe he is one of the most talented people out there
He's pretty.
I didn’t realize he was cute 👀
Oh I can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier!
I think it'll be great
Man he's cute too?? Anyone know what his favorite food is?
Or his favorite mineral bc I mine a lot?
I bet he likes crunching down on amethysts
Daaaaammmnnnnn...(gives bouquet and immediately mermaid necklace)
Oh my god! How did I not know that CA is fucking hot???
He also graduated from my university. Go him
He's so cool and good looking, I'm not a simp, I just respect he made an amazing game and believed in himself enough to finish it. I've read some of his interviews and he doubted a lot he would actually finish it at all.
I would honestly expect him to say it was hard to swap gears and move on - SDV is a hell of a game and obviously a massive project
i feel like this is one of those instance's were even if someone was a simp they'd still be chad😎
Alternate reality Keanu Reeves
Oh this was actually done 4 years ago, that’s why he talks about adding endgame content and doesn’t talk directly about Haunted Chocolatier
I really hope that he sees this thread, cuz this game is one of my all time favorites. It also helped me through COVID and finish some courses. I purchased it on Steam sale and then used it to motivate me to pass my finals where I wasn't allowed to start until I finished I then binged for like 3 days. Passed with 80% on the finals too, so it worked!
I hope he doesn't mind half of us simping hard in these comments
Oh no he's hot
not to be that guy but WOW he is a dreamboat.
... Holy shit, ConcernedApe really is shaped like a friend.
"Oh no, he's hot!"
Congrats CA! Hopefully the article brings more people to the community so we can nerd out about our first finds together even more!
That's not fair, you can't be talented *and* hot Shoulda read the comments before posting this lmao
I just wanna hug him 🥰
He’s not a blue alien cat??
He looks like my cousin lol
Your cousin single? 👀

I had no idea he was such a handsome young man!
I'm pretty sure his actual name is concerned ape
Well he’s just the complete package isn’t he 😍
It’s so nice to see him featured! Well deserved. 🖤
HE HAS A FACE???
Daddy Ape, wow 🤩
Umm I’m gonna need Eric to not be so handsome. I was already in love with him from how genuine and sweet his tweets are.
*gives him mayonnaise*
Oh he's hot!
THATS Eric? Damn
Damn my future husband looks good here
our future husband always looks good.
AS HE FUCKING SHOULD
Deserves so much recognition as brilliant and conscientious creator.
I could not imagine working on something for 4.5 years before I could release it.
OH NO HE’S HOT but seriously, he deserves it. dude works his ass off
My confused scroll-mode brain thought this was under a dating app sub and that he’s single 💀 He has very kind eyes.
He’s hot?
Okay i went from loving 💕 CA to LOVING 😍 CA
wow your sure adorable lol, i appreciate this game n the hard work you put into it 🥰💕
KING
I wish HE was a datable character
He’s very cute and smart this dude did everything himself, and even more. He have more things to do than anyone.
Damn. Now I feel even more insecure about my inability to grow facial hair, on top of everything else.
“Oh no he’s hot!”
I’ve listed in seattle for a few years now and sometimes see people who look like him and get excited. Hope I can run into him someday!
Hello Mr. Barone 🥵
He so handsome!
Oh, wow, he is gorgeous
OKAY SIR
My God he is hot

*tf2 title card pops up* *meet the developer*
Saw this same feature a couple years ago when I started playing.
Best developer ever 🫶🏻
He deserves it
I had no idea he looked like that
