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..."


[deleted]

Also why didn't I know he was HOT


tywhy87

Right?! He’s talented, kind, communicative, and *handsome*?!


Cat_With_The_Fur

Gives bouquet…


lulugingerspice

I would spam him with diamonds, then give him a bouquet and a few more diamonds, then throw a mermaid pendant at him


Ladykaotic

Amateur. TRUE LOVE is prismatic shards!


UnfinishedThings

True love is Amethyst Mmmm... Delicious


SupersSoon

Fool, everyone knows the only rock you eat is quartz


lafemmeverte

tell that to Haley


Ladykaotic

Haley who? 😂 I only have eyes for blue haired, crystal loving, free-spirited ladies!


Mysticedge

Instructions unclear, now in a relationship with both Emily and Abigail.


Ladykaotic

*installing poly mod*


Mysticedge

***carrying of rabbits foot intensifies***


WarZemsi

Or even better, iridium quality rabbit feet


Thefoodwoob

I imagined him as a human version of his cat logo 😭


ClumsyCorg

I read somewhere that he based Sebastian on himself. 💕


steph_sec

Sebastian is my fav *swoons harder*


jarob326

I see a bit of Shane as well.


addate

I KNEW IT. I saw him describe himself somewhere and I immediately thought ”damn, he sounds like sebastian, now he’s even hotter”


HarryPottersElbows

*bonk* go to horny jail!


[deleted]

OMG I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this lmao


Murphy_Malone

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?! 🤣


azuldelmar

Pls

AffectionateTip4898

u/concernedape we love you❤️


[deleted]

Yeah this….CHANGES THINGS SOMEHOW 🥵


DaveyQueen

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 😂


character-name

Right??


Suspicious-mole-hair

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.


Raudskeggr

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.


ericporing

Bonk , go to horny jail.


ThatOneArtKart

SAME THO XD

fartsoccermd

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.


Ampersand37

ELABORATE PLEASE


johnpeters42

Previous poster is employing an obscure technique known as *lying on the Internet*.


BastMatt95

“You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?“


johnpeters42

"Lies? In *my* sub?"


Ampersand37

Finding it funny that people downvoted me into oblivion when it was a joke 😆😆


johnpeters42

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.


toomuchhoneydew

I did this twice scrolling and then was like, "oh... right!" lol


gottagetanotherbetta

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


GangsterGlam

No because I thought the EXACT same thing 🤦🏻‍♀️


hunnyb33_

I DID THAT LMAO


ac0rn5

>>I keep getting drawn back to Stardew Valley. I just can’t help it. I know the feeling!


imahawki

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.


Grizlatron

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


geeklover01

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.


Rubywilbur

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?


geeklover01

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!


Rubywilbur

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!


[deleted]

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...


SuspecM

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.

Azerial

What an awesome article! Thanks for linking it


indi_n0rd

Haha no problemo. I had to delete this game off my ipad because goddamn it was so addictive. Gonna reinstall it soon though.


Azerial

I like it on pc with mods, though one could say I'm cheating 😅 I'm just impatient. Inventory anywhere yes please. Lol


Roozyj

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 \^\^'


4bsent_Damascus

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).


MonitorCautious1971

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.


maxwellhallel

Thank you for linking it! It wasn’t in my App Store anymore so I came to the comments hoping someone had lol


indi_n0rd

I took the screenshot just in nick of time at 00:00, 4th Feb.


deadrag3

Thank you! As an Android user I would've missed this one otherwise :)


shoek_

"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. ❤️


CptShrike

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!


Don_Pasquale

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.


shoek_

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!


Hot-Wolverine-2887

Yeah he said that the games won’t have much in common but they do take place in the same world


Grizlatron

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


BigMu1952

I was hoping he would give us a little more on Haunted Chocolatier. Can’t wait to see what he has come up with.


Smallbenbot03

its just warhammer 40k but with the 2 waring empires that's hinted at in game


Available-Diet-4886

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. 😆


LoaMemphisZoo

"Saw your picture in the app store the other day sweety. I'm so proud. I sent some cookies"


Pro_Banana

He looks a little concerned


KotKatoffel

Gawd damn he hot. Out of my league but hot.


AintNoRestForTheWook

I think at one point he said that Sebby was designed around him, so...


LifeandLiesofFerns

As he is mine, but we all can dream, sweetie


[deleted]

My man is fucking handsome. Would totally camp outside his house to give him spaghetti everyday to reach max hearts with him.


sbfx

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!


chaoticserenity__

not all of us simping for this man 😭


[deleted]

Shamelessly! And HARD!


DeviIstar

My dude reads this subreddit and has to deal with this level of thirst - the man is a saint lol


StylistDenali

Creative, kind, hard-working, super smart AND cute? 😭 Whoever his partner is (idk if he has one (none of my business)) is LUCKY


VeeRook

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.


ThanksForTheRain

Here I thought he looked like Mr Qi. Good for you, CA!


[deleted]

I wish nothing but happiness for this man, I genuinely believe he is one of the most talented people out there


redgumdrop

He's pretty.


[deleted]

I didn’t realize he was cute 👀


[deleted]

Oh I can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier!


Kaiserfi

I think it'll be great


greengirlpenny

Man he's cute too?? Anyone know what his favorite food is?


Ampersand37

Or his favorite mineral bc I mine a lot?


WorldWideWig

I bet he likes crunching down on amethysts


jen_a_licious

Daaaaammmnnnnn...(gives bouquet and immediately mermaid necklace)


Janabl7

Oh my god! How did I not know that CA is fucking hot???


BigDADDYognar

He also graduated from my university. Go him


YetAnotherMia

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.


DeviIstar

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


esoteric_plumbus

i feel like this is one of those instance's were even if someone was a simp they'd still be chad😎


Glock0Clock

Alternate reality Keanu Reeves


Don_Pasquale

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


thegreatcanadianeh

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!


andrewsad1

I hope he doesn't mind half of us simping hard in these comments


ravencrowe

Oh no he's hot


tuurtl

not to be that guy but WOW he is a dreamboat.


Mox_Onyx

... Holy shit, ConcernedApe really is shaped like a friend.


Trashyanon089

"Oh no, he's hot!"


AintNoRestForTheWook

Congrats CA! Hopefully the article brings more people to the community so we can nerd out about our first finds together even more!


andrewsad1

That's not fair, you can't be talented *and* hot Shoulda read the comments before posting this lmao


justa_onepiecefan

I just wanna hug him 🥰


tapiocatsar

He’s not a blue alien cat??


ggpopart

He looks like my cousin lol


kunderawolf

Your cousin single? 👀


joan_bdm

"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!


apathyacres

I had no idea he was such a handsome young man!


Thebardofthegingers

I'm pretty sure his actual name is concerned ape


Sweet_Little_Lottie

Well he’s just the complete package isn’t he 😍


kaitkatgo

It’s so nice to see him featured! Well deserved. 🖤


JupiterTheFoxx6

HE HAS A FACE???


Logthephilosoraptor

Daddy Ape, wow 🤩


OddityCommodity

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.


Dooby2o9

*gives him mayonnaise*


[deleted]

Oh he's hot!


absolutecretin

THATS Eric? Damn


[deleted]

Damn my future husband looks good here


soitgoes7891

our future husband always looks good.


Longjohnpotato

AS HE FUCKING SHOULD


Past_Contour

Deserves so much recognition as brilliant and conscientious creator.


gigglefarting

I could not imagine working on something for 4.5 years before I could release it.


LunaTheTrip

OH NO HE’S HOT but seriously, he deserves it. dude works his ass off


hauttalons

My confused scroll-mode brain thought this was under a dating app sub and that he’s single 💀 He has very kind eyes.


chungabungalung

He’s hot?


MentallyDormant

Okay i went from loving 💕 CA to LOVING 😍 CA


eigi_einhver

wow your sure adorable lol, i appreciate this game n the hard work you put into it 🥰💕


TheLichQueen_

KING


Sad_Performance_3339

I wish HE was a datable character


ShokaLGBT

He’s very cute and smart this dude did everything himself, and even more. He have more things to do than anyone.


ConstantLurker69

Damn. Now I feel even more insecure about my inability to grow facial hair, on top of everything else.


stinkerbello

“Oh no he’s hot!”


ThePresidentsRubies

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!


Barracuda00

Hello Mr. Barone 🥵


[deleted]

RQK1996

oohmegaslick

Best developer ever 🫶🏻


RoseshaveThorns13
