The simulation management "Stardew Valley", which was mainly developed by one person, has given up most of the cooperation with the publisher and has truly moved towards independence.

Eric stated that he wanted to abandon the follow-up development of "Stardew Valley" several times before and invest in future new works, but during the period found that he could not give up "Stardew Valley", and at the same time saw that the game currently has very good players In the community, many players still have expectations for the game, so he can hardly give up for a while. This also made it lose a lot of time to focus on new works.

Eric said in the announcement that he will form a team, even if he has been used to developing games by himself before, but this will allow him enough space between the subsequent development of Stardew Valley and the development of new games. Of course, at the end Eric also said that he will still have complete control over the development direction of the game, such as screenwriting and soundtrack. In this regard, he will not leave it to others, but in terms of programming, BUG repair, business, and pixel art. , He might get some help.
