I don’t trust Morris

Barone began by sharing his “original community center concept”:

This got a great response on Twitter, and Barone tweeted some more pictures in response to requests. That includes an early doodle of JojaMart owner Morris:

Barone’s next game isHaunted Chocolatier, which looks like a spooky-sweet cousin to Stardew Valley. He’s currently taking a break from it though in order to work onyet another free update to Stardew Valley.

I played Stardew Valley for the first time ever on Wednesday. Please send me tips because I spent the whole hour just anxious that I was focusing on the wrong things and was going to miss out on something.
