Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier are separate games. “When working on Stardew Valley, I’m not thinking about Haunted Chocolatier, and vice versa,” he clarifies. “I wouldn’t ‘test something out’ in Stardew Valley because that would be unfair to Stardew Valley, and also I don’t want to spoil ideas for Haunted Chocolatier by adding them first to Stardew Valley. 3 is that Barone is making another Stardew Valley update because he’s “burnt out on Haunted Chocolatier”.
