8 years later, the famous life simulation title Stardew Valley continues to please and attract its fan community. Every day on Steam, tens of thousands of players rush to play it. Rated on JV 18/20, this classic comes to us from an average young student who worked in a shopping center to support himself. Not having a specific goal at that time, he came up with the idea of creating a video game, on which he would concentrate 100% while his beloved supported him financially. Here is the story of its creation!
Stardew Valley is the work of one man, Eric Barone, known by the pseudonym ConcernedApe. Before creating this game, Eric Barone was a young computer science graduate from the University of Washington Tacoma, without a steady job and with few career prospects. Passionate about video games, he dreamed of creating his own, but he never completed any of his projects. The idea for Stardew Valley came to Eric while he was playing Harvest Moon, a farming simulation game that he really liked but found to be improvable in some aspects. He then decided to start creating a video game that would improve on all that while adding his own ideas and improvements. Thus, the Stardew Valley project was born. In addition, he set himself a major challenge: creating this game in just six months. He knew he was struggling to complete his projects and thought a strict deadline would help him focus and complete the endeavor. However, he didn't expect his game to reach such heights…
