If you could ask concerned ape anything, what would it be?

Can I know if you guys are learning how to make 3D games.
The experience of playing Stardew Valley is almost perfect and I love pixel games.
but even though like Harvest Moon or Rune Factory, they are trying to make morden games.

I am not say pixel games are not appealing enough.
Whereas, making a perfect 2D game normally makes more effort becuase it needs more designers to output delicate graphical materials.
As we know, Stardew Valley has sold over 48 million copies, do you have a plan to expand the scale of studio to recruit more talents to make games together?
Thanks.

I have a question about the lore:
Are monsters and magical things common in the world of Stardew Valley or are they just things that happen in the valley and the inhabitants prefer not to talk about it? Teleportation and magical items could be useful for technological advancement, the caves would be a place of quite a bit of interest to scientists. Plus I can teleport in the middle of the bar, monsters are displayed in cages and no one in town seems to care.

So be honest are you sick of Stardew Valley yet? Do you ever play it for fun?

I’m nearly 4 irl years in and still loving it. I’m disabled and it makes up a good chunk of my daily entertainment. It literally keeps me alive at times as I have chronic Major Depressive Disorder and I can’t afford most games. They make you pay to play, pay a subscription or charge for updates. (We don’t have spare money.) But then I don’t have to do the probably unbearably repetitive, mentally draining and 24/7 at times of tedious coding and edits. Not to mention the constant negative criticism or complaints you unjustly get at times. I just have fun lol!

If you don’t play Stardew Valley for fun, what games do you enjoy?

Is there hope for a future update? I know HC is your new baby but after it’s released, is there hope or is it complete in your mind?

ETA: I can’t believe you’re actually replying to these you are so cool!

How does it feel to have played such a big part in popularizing the farming sim genre? So many new games have come out that are marketed as Stardew Valley mixed with X genre/other game.
