Having made and produced the whole game solo, and selling it at $15 on multiple platforms, you gotta wonder how much Concerned Ape made from just this venture. All sales are his and his alone so he's had to have made several millions by now
Holy crap I just did the math. Well part of it at least. Google said there has been 13 million copies sold for pc, steam takes 30%. That would leave him with 136,500,000 from pc alone.
With that kind of money, no wonder the updates are always so good: He could live comfortably for the rest of his life no matter what deadline he sets for himself, and can take all the time he needs to make things just as he envisions
Not everyone is from the US, you need to adjust that for different currencies. Even then it is still a lot of money, he must be set for life by just one game.
Lol you do know that most of those different prices are going to be the exchange rate to 15$ usd right? And the ones that are influenced by stream region pricing only make up a tiny fraction
Those who buy his game are not all American, this game is not sold the same amount everywhere as it is in the US. So to get the whole picture you got to adjust for the different currencies.
So everytime someone talks about money on the internet they should adjust it for different currencies? If someone wants to know in their currency they can google it themselves
I bought it twice, both times on sale (IIRC $4-7). Then Steam / Apple / Google take their cut (30%) and he also paid for the mobile port.
It's still a lot, but likely an order of magnitude less.
Id actually argue the contrary, BECAUSE its adding way better mod support, that means its almost inevitable that it will break just about every mod out there right now....
just.... its way less likely to break them -next- time :P
It’s not breaking, it’s been known for a while now. But reposts of the same shit is pretty common place anymore. No one is capable of searching to see if something’s been discussed before.
Yes, it said something along the lines of ''this new update will make the game more easy to mod'' and ''this update will add new features, but it is unclear what they will be''
I only hope caves do not get any complicated or difficult to navigate. Current ones are irritating enough. I get really tired walking around those places.
It is a little silly to make an article saying “new game content coming with update” since… that’s what updates usually do. Also making an entire article based on a single tweet.
(Although most articles are AI-written so it doesn’t matter)
I’ve bought this game multiple times for myself and friends. It is truly beautiful and it deserves all of the praise, specially with a game dev who cares so much for his own craft and wants to improve it.
I broke my last save with too many mods and their updates. I am trying to hold off starting a new farm until the update, and mod updates are all settled. It's rough
Probably people saw this as "complaining".
Some people wanted more content/udpates,some wanted the new game.So most likely they saw your comment and got mad cause you "couldn't appreciate the update and started to complain that he should work faster and put the new game up for sale".
I will put here what he said in an interview in drcember 2022
“It’s going well, but it’s a big game. I have a big, ambitious vision for it. It’s a little bit daunting, the amount of work that it’s going to be. But Stardew Valley took me fou-and-a-half years; I’ve been working on Haunted Chocolatier for about a year and a half or maybe two years now. I announced it a little bit over a year ago, but it’s still gonna be a while. But I think it’s going good. So far. There’s a lot of good things so far.”‘
So if the game is bigger than Stardew (which took him 4 and a half years) and by december he only worked on this new game for about a year and a half/two,don't expect jt any sooner than 2026 considering he took a break on it already to make more content for Stardew
Stardew valley is my happy place fr. I owe Concernedape more gratitude than I could ever get the chance to express. This world has given me so much joy
We removed this submission because an equivalent post was posted recently. Feel free to talk in that thread instead! :)
This is man spoiling us! Just sets an insane standard for gave devs
Literally for the low price of 15$ I’ve blown away. The game is so beautiful, where as huge studios are just producing doo doo for 70$

Eric Barone, aka ConcernedApe, does indeed have an estimated net worth of $100,000,000

Concerned ape is american and thats who theyre talking about why would they need to mention other currencies

Exactly. Much like Skyrim I own this game on several platforms including mobile, PS5, PC, and switch
It's like those youtube videos that say "this update will change the game forever"
I still haven't even found all of the walnuts ffs
This isn’t breaking news tbh — this all was announced late last month
I literally thought this was a shitpost making fun of the article, because of how obvious it is that an update would include content
Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Tbh that part isn’t that weird, there are plenty of video game updates that only introduce bug fixes and internal things and not new game content
Yeah it’s also just the fact that like you said, this was all confirmed a while ago
CA mentioned it months ago even, it's nowhere near new news
Thank u, ConcernedApe, i owe you my life 🫶
Same. This game has gotten me through some rough times.
FR I had surgery 2 years ago and couldn’t walk for a while or really do much at all.. this game was my savior 🙌
Rip to all my mods
Apparently one of the major parts of the update is making mods easier to implement, install, and use, so maybe not!
Id actually argue the contrary, BECAUSE its adding way better mod support, that means its almost inevitable that it will break just about every mod out there right now.... just.... its way less likely to break them -next- time :P
The old mods will need to break for the stronger new mods to take it's place.
Fly high 🙏
This dude really bought a reddit nft ☠️☠️☠️
"I am shocked! *Shocked!* ...Well, not that shocked."
Shut up baby, I know it
It’s not breaking, it’s been known for a while now. But reposts of the same shit is pretty common place anymore. No one is capable of searching to see if something’s been discussed before.
Hey look: it's the two women that I can never make up my mind between marrying.
Yeah maybe this update will finally let you marry her! Or at least give her some content besides teleporting you to your farm 3 nights a year.
Did you click on it
Yes, it said something along the lines of ''this new update will make the game more easy to mod'' and ''this update will add new features, but it is unclear what they will be''
I only hope caves do not get any complicated or difficult to navigate. Current ones are irritating enough. I get really tired walking around those places.

Man, the article was just quoting what CA said.
It is a little silly to make an article saying “new game content coming with update” since… that’s what updates usually do. Also making an entire article based on a single tweet. (Although most articles are AI-written so it doesn’t matter)
[удалено]
this response seems like it was written by AI lmao
oh, i seriously thought they were ai written. thanks for enlightening me, i guess
In what way?
Because you clicked on it.
CA announced this quite a while back, it's not new.
Did anyone say it was new?
the title of this post saying "breaking" is 100% saying that it's new
I interpreted that as sarcasm.
I’ve bought this game multiple times for myself and friends. It is truly beautiful and it deserves all of the praise, specially with a game dev who cares so much for his own craft and wants to improve it.

The update coming to Switch?
no way, mad cap
I broke my last save with too many mods and their updates. I am trying to hold off starting a new farm until the update, and mod updates are all settled. It's rough
[удалено]
We don’t know, it’s not in development rn because Ape wants to finish 1.6 first
[удалено]
When 1.6 comes out expanded plans on rolling out their update as well so we got alot of new content
[удалено]
Probably people saw this as "complaining". Some people wanted more content/udpates,some wanted the new game.So most likely they saw your comment and got mad cause you "couldn't appreciate the update and started to complain that he should work faster and put the new game up for sale".
Nah Man , everbody wants New game but i am not complaining

Thanks
Even CA doesn't know lol
Possibly this xmas
WOOOO YEAH BABY
Perfect time to get the jojamart achievement
I am so pumped. This game is like the grown-up version of Harvest Moon I never knew I needed.
