Fans have been clamouring for Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone's next game, Haunted Chocolatier, for a almost five years now, and while he's largely kept a lid on its development he has revealed in a recent interview with GameInformer that it's not taking more of his time than Stardew Valley.

"It’s kind of hard to switch gears sometimes, to be honest, but it’s just what I’ve got to do," Barone says. "It’s just another challenge, because I have two games that I’m working on. I just have to do it. It’s not my preference, but it’s just what needs to be done." Barone is now working on Haunted Chocolatier five days a week, with the remaining two being spent on Stardew Valley.
