Looking back at Stardew Valley's four-year journey to overnight acclaim.
Stardew Valley enters the third dimension thanks to this in-development mod that even comes with VR functionality
I don't need to tell you that Stardew Valley is not a 3D game, and if I do, your understanding of dimensions is unsettling to me. However, where there's a will, there's a way, as a modder has done the unthinkable by adding an extra dimension to the beloved farming sim, turning it into something else entirely.
Help, I can't decide if Stardew Valley in 3D is amazing or horrifying
Somehow adding a third dimension made it claustrophobic.
Stardew Valley doesn't have any microtransactions because Eric Barone values the player 'more than the money I could squeeze out of everyone'

"You're Offloading Creativity To An Algorithm" - Stardew Valley Creator Stands Firm Against AI
"My goal is to express myself in a creative way.". Stardew Valley is pure pixel art paradise. You can live the life you want to, decorate your farm how you want, fall in love with whoever your heart desires (within some limits). And, for creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone, it's been his creative passion project for over a decade. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that, in an interview with Game Informer (paywalled), the developer is pretty firmly against the use of AI in any creative endeavour.

A rumour has started going around that Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is considering adding the ability to cheat in your marriage in the wholesome farming sim. However, Barone has since come out and squashed those rumours while having an out-loud discussion about the merits of a theoretical cheating system in the game.
No, Eric Barone is not adding infidelity to Stardew Valley, although he did briefly consider letting you ruin marriages, to Grandpa's deep disappointment
Some idle musing about the nature of morality in sandbox games has spiraled out of control.
"Everyone would hate you": Stardew Valley creator is "open" to adding adultery and NPC divorces, but he's against it "on a moral level"
The first thing I read this morning was a lifestyle headline about how humans simply aren't "built" for monogamy. The second thing I read was Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone toying with the idea of introducing adultery and, by extension, divorces to cosy life sim Stardew Valley. If the third thing I read this morning is, for example, a bus advert for Paramount show Caught in the Act, I will interpret this as the universe granting permission to jump into a Portaloo with the next person who waggles the

Happy this week, all! Also: huge apologies to the World Cup organisers and teams for any matchside cosmic sabotage brought on by our struggle to feed the Maw. Truth be told, Mexico should have had last night's game in the bag, if only I'd topped up the Maw's feeding trough on Friday with another handful of Slay the Spire 2 stories. In its hunger, the creature broke containment, and fell upon the sacred realm of association football, kindling all manner of pandemonium. You may have noticed that h
