Father of Fallout Tim Cain is happy to return to the office after five years of remote work.

The creator of Stardew Valley, Eric Barone, admitted in an interview with IGN that he can't completely stop supporting his game, although he has long planned to move on to a new project, Haunted Chocolatier.

"There have been many times when I thought the updates would end. But that doesn't happen, and perhaps the work will never be finished," Barone stated. He explains this with the game's enduring popularity: as long as people are playing it, he has the inspiration to develop it further.

At the same time, the developer does not rule out creating a full-fledged sequel. "I would really like to make Stardew Valley 2 — to create a new world and characters," he said. However, any plans for a continuation will only appear after the release of Haunted Chocolatier, which Barone humorously indicated would be "within the next 10 years."
