This looks really great! Definitely looking forward to future announcements!

 

[SurfingMimikyu]

I, for one, welcome our new chocolatier overlords. Seriously though this game looks great, and the environments are gorgeous. Can't wait to learn more about it!

Take it easy, CA. Spend as much time as you can until you feel ready.
I am looking forward to this game.
The ghosts are sooo cute...

As an Xbox gamer if he needs to do a Kickstarter to help get the game ported my wife, daughter and myself would gladly help donate. Looking forward to this especially the wife (I can't tell if her drooling is from the chocolate or lack of sleep)

Floppy animated hair! Now my long locks can blow in the gentle breezes, and trail behind as I glide past the townsfolk on my swift horse.

And get into the chocolate becoming a giant, tangled, matted mess I need to shave off, ending up looking like Sinead O'Connor. Meh could be worse, I'm not stuck in front of a hot sweaty furnace all day.

So excited for this new game! It looks so fun and has everything we love about SDV but a whole new theme. Can't wait to play it!

 

[Johndeere756]

That is great news! I am really looking forward to playing it.

 

[Hill Myna]

Wow, looks promising!

Looking forward to spotting all the Stardew references! I really like how he incorporated some art from earlier versions of Stardew. Looks like there are lots of different trees and plants, and a birder's hut (!), so hopefully some new wildlife as well? And honestly, I just want to try that decorating mode!

I can't wait for the next dev logs to see how it evolves!

P.S. – Anybody else wish we had a bow and shield in Stardew?

 

[lilan castel]

well I already made a new character to that game! Christina will be my protagonist. She is sheer than her SDV counterpart (Lilan) and less rebellious. She usually does what she is told to. But of course she is gonna be stuck (not in game) with a spirit called Lilan who is her will to make her own decisions. And it will cause a lot of problems.

 

[Cuusardo]

Looks like fun!

 

[nicodeux]

Looks really promising and interesting.
I shall definitely follow the development of this game.
It's fun that so many parts of SDV can be seen in this announcement, both in visuals, gameplay and even some part of the code that might have been reused in a way or another. Clever.

So is it going to be something like Willy Wonka? I*m asking because I'm not an English speaker and never read the books / saw the movies and I don't know if I'm missing something! Someone please correct me if these are actually completely different.

The idea sounds vaguely Burtonesque but as long as there is crafting and chocolate, I'm in!

nah, the only thing this has in common with willy wonka is that they're both dealing with making some kind of candy, but that's where the similarities end imo

 

[Kreeate]

Wondering if there will be any tie-ins or references with the Ferngill Republic and/or same universe? Either way, it looks amazing and if I'm not mistaken I saw some custom furniture mode, which makes me very happy

 

[FlyingCatPhillips]

Wow, it looks awesome! I look forward to seeing more about it!
If he does do a Kickstarter I hope a link would be put up here so we can all see and support his new endeavor.

I really like ConcernedApe's style of games and I look forward to seeing how this one goes as well!

While I think it's unlikely there will be a kickstarter, but if there is one you can count on us posting about it here!

I also thought of Willy Wonka while first watching the video. But upon reading ConcernedApe's post on the game blog, I believed Haunted Chocolatier is not related to Willy Wonka or at least, this is not intentional.

I watched the trailer yesterday, and I'm excited! I'd honestly love to donate to a Kickstarter--I save up money to donate to Kickstarters for independent creators because fan-supported is the way to go.

 

[NEACIA]

The trailer was really good, and worked very well ! I'm really excited for this new game. It looks so fun !
