As Stardew Valley fans continue to wait patiently for the previously announced 1.7 update, creator Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) has dropped a couple small, vague, yet exciting hints about what said mysterious update might entail: a new farm type, and "more character/social stuff."
I mean, the original release had Skeletron as the final boss, which is not even the last one before hardmode now.
So 7 or 8 bosses, wings, “classes” (specialized equipment) including summoner with wasn’t a thing at all, new weapon types like yoyos, expert mode, several biomes, many events and mini games, town building, NPCs, modding support…
Fyi, the next “last” update is expected to drop mid to late January (though it’s been delayed multiple years at this point). If that’s something you’d want to wait for.
I think he has also said that there are other people working on the game now and he is mostly focusing on his new game iirc. So it sounds like he has just passed the torch and we’re gonna get more Stardew content forever lol
I just read the announcement. He’s working solo on Haunted Chocolatier and says this about Stardew
with 1.7 I have been trying to take more of a “creative director” role in the team, so that (at least for now) I can focus the vast majority of my attention on Haunted Chocolatier.

in order for me to maintain a full connection to the game, I need my hand to touch every piece of new content. And there are some aspects of content development which I insist on doing myself, like the music.
Same as the Terraria devs, yeah.
Glad he’s found a passion project that makes him happy!
Terraria is going to keep adding versions until they jump to 2.0
To be honest, compared to 1.0, is almost a different game
Not looking for a full changelog or anything but what would you say have been some of the most significant changes over the years?

Ahh ok I’ve played since most of those were added but not the mini games or towns. Might have to give it another play this winter

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I will definitely wait until then
