My heart... CA is so precious :awe: that note is so heartfelt. I totally understand his feeling about SDV1.6 haha, I have faith he will make both projects work!
I really like the art direction of HC - It's got a similar familial vibe of the Valley but retains its own personality!

I don't know if those slimelike creatures have already been seen before, but this is my first time seeing and they are so cute - I can't wait to interact with them (hopefully I can keep them as pets)... this is super hype! :heart: As always, nothing less from our beloved CA!

Hopefully 1.6.X. will be completely patched up on all systems soon, so he can get back to working on what he wants to be working on! There's a lot of work that still needs to be done to get 1.6 in a stable state on consoles, I'm sure he would like to be finished with it all sooner rather than later so he can move on to HC. The previews look very interesting, I'm a bit sad that there's a distinct possibility it will be entirely exclusive to PC but if that's what is best for him, that's unfortunately how it goes. Hopefully it ends up available for more people than just those who play on PC. We shall see

Thank you for sharing this. I did not had the opportunity to look at Haunted Chocolatier blog for a while and this post is wonderful. I fully support ConcernedApe on this project and the difficult choice he made between pursuing development on Stardew Valley and creating a new game that few know of.

I'm having tons of fun with Stardew Valley (and not only because of update 1.6), that game becomes a more and more refined gem years after years. And I can't wait to get more informations about Haunted Chocolatier. So far, the game sounds very promising, I like the artistic direction. I hope ConcernedApe will have all the time and quiteness he needs to work on HauntedChocolatier now.

ConcernedApe said multiplayer for mobile Stardew Valley would never be possible due to technical limitations and now we have it as an experimental feature that is quite robust. So, I don't think that chances that Haunted Chocolatier is released for other plateforms than PC are null. But given all the difficulties, stress and pressure ConcernedApe faced with the porting of Stardew Valley, I understand that he ponders carefully the decision to follow the same road with his next game!!

I'd really rather the game not get ported to mobile.

Honestly I'd like it, I don't see it as a negative at all. I do see the constant backlash as a negative though, people are continually horrible and always seem to lower my bar for what I think are basic standards.
Just for CA's sake and for the sake of the dev team (if there is one later on for something like porting), I'd stay away from other platforms.

I agree with FilthyGorilla. I discovered Stardew Valley on mobile and I'm still playing it on my mobile, though I now play most on my time on the PC.
Therefore, I would like to have Haunted Chocolatier ported mobile. However, I don't want it to be at the cost of ConcernedApe sanity or tranquility of mind.



But back for a more important thing:

I would love so much to have my character being able to settle in that mill. It's so nice and well designed and drawn!!
Am I the only one that can almost see the wheel spinning in the water?

Kind of rude to hope that a lot of fans / players don't get to experience a new game they're all looking forward to. But you're in luck, sadly, as CA has stated that it "probably" won't be releasing on mobile. Hopefully that changes but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't play on mobile so I have no horse in that race, but I do have empathy for those left out

This is also kind of rude and shortsighted. Just because a few immature idiots can't be polite when they've been forced to sit in the corner and watch PC enjoy shiny new toys for eight months, doesn't mean all fans outside of PC are awful and undeserving of getting thr chance to experience an exciting new game from the creator of game they love

But, all that to say, it will end up however it ends up. Unfortunately HC will likely be PC exclusive, and be all the worse for it. But if that's what they want to do with the project, and what will help keep his development process smooth and enjoyable for him, I suppose it means that PC only is the best / worst choice lol
