The developer of Stardew Valley<\/em>\u00a0releases a progress update on the next version of the game, along with the future of co-op multiplayer and eventual console ports.<\/h3>\n

Ever since its release on Steam<\/a>, Stardew Valley<\/em><\/strong> has accumulated a growing mass of fans who quickly became heavily engrossed in the Harvest Moon<\/em>-inspired title. For the uninitiated, the game features quite a few similarities (and improvements) upon the original farm-building franchise, such as rebuilding an old farm, befriending\u00a0the townspeople, getting married, and even interacting with spiritual forest sprites, bringing an element of magic into Stardew Valley<\/a><\/em>. What makes it all the more impressive is that the game was created entirely by one man, as opposed to a fully-staffed studio.<\/p>\n

Now that solo developer ConcernedApe has taken a well-earned vacation following the successful launch\u00a0of his game, the Stardew Valley<\/em> creator says that he is both refreshed and ready to get back into the swing of things. He took to the official website today to let fans know what the plans were regarding the future of the title, and to state that there are free updates aplenty to go around. ConcernedApe plans for the upcoming 1.1 update to feature a substantial amount of new content, and also went on to discuss some important news regarding co-op multiplayer and eventual console ports.<\/p>\n

In order to get the long-awaited co-op feature included as soon as possible, ConcernedApe has accepted an offer from his publisher, Chucklefish Games<\/a>. The publisher will now handle all the technical aspects involved with\u00a0getting the co-op multiplayer feature up to snuff, localizing the game for different languages, and porting the game onto current generation consoles. This lets ConcernedApe focus on developing new content for the game<\/a>, rather than worrying about things like console licensing and the technical side of multiplayer connections.<\/p>\n

In the more immediate future, the developer also went on to discuss just what the aforementioned \u2018substantial content update\u2019 for version 1.1 will entail. Here\u2019s what ConcernedApe is cooking up to keep gamers interested in the Harvest Moon<\/a><\/em>-inspired title:<\/p>\n
