Stardew Valley is a very popular open-ended #farming, #RPG, hybrid that is being expanded immensely.
Eric Barone, better known by his developer alias #ConcernedApe, announced a list of planned features for Stardew Valley. In a recent post on the game’s official site, Concerned Ape announced that a co-op multiplayer, language localization, plus a massive content update are on the way. Not to mmention a Linux and Mac port, plus consoles.
ConcernedApe will be working on version 1.1, along with several new features planned:
- More late-game content
- New farm buildings
- New crops
- New artisan goods
- New advanced farming/producing mechanics
- Shane and Emily will be marriage candidates. They will also have more events and dialogue as a result.
- More marriage content for all spouses
- More events for the non-marriage NPC’s
- Improvements/Additions to mining and combat
- Ability to move buildings and other convenience features
- More bug fixes
- More secrets
- More small, fun touches to the world
“There’s obviously a huge amount of work involved to achieve all this, and I am just one person,” Barone writes in the update. “I know in the past I’ve been very adamant about doing everything myself, and I still am when it comes to game design and content. However, I’ve decided to seek outside help for some of the more technical things listed above.”
Here is a list of what’s planned for the future of Stardew Valley:
- Version 1.1 — A substantial content update
- Co-op Multiplayer
- Localizing for non-english regions
- Mac/Linux Ports
- Console Ports
- Merchandise
Stardew Valley is currently available on Steam for Windows PC, with a huge follow. So it is no surprise to see an official Linux and Mac announcement.
