• Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone would never use AI, instead wants to rely on human creativity—'I feel like that should take priority over a soulless machine' - 15 May 2026

  Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, creator of Stardew Valley , one of the most impactful indie games of the last decade and dev behind the upcoming highly anticipated Haunted Chocolatier , knows a thing or two about being creative. And like many other creatives he's recently been touting the importance of human-made art and listening to your gut instead of relying on a machine to drop prompts in your lap... Read more.

  Clint is one of two new marriage candidates planned for the next big Stardew Valley update, but that doesn't mean you have to wait to befriend Pelican Town's resident blacksmith. He's available to visit starting from day one of your new life in the valley, and his smithy isn't a long trip from home... Read more.

• I opened my own store in Stardew Valley so now Pierre has to buy my seeds. MY SEEDS - 31 March 2026

  If you'd asked me yesterday how I felt about Pierre in Stardew Valley, I think I would have said "fine." I don't particularly like him but I don't have any specific gripes against him, either. My biggest issue is probably that he opens his store at 9 am and I'm up at 6 am every day, so if I head straight to his shop I have to hang around a while for him to open his doors. That can be a bit annoying... Read more.

• 'There are no leaks', says Stardew Valley creator, taking a hammer to the rumour mill - 27 March 2026

  Stardew Valley 1.7 is a hotly anticipated patch to a game, and for good reason—it's one of the biggest indie sensations of the past decade. Riling up the anticipation is the fact that it usually takes years for big updates like this to drop, with the last major version releasing in 2024... Read more.

• Stardew Valley farmer takes advice from AI, ends up brewing 136 useless bottles of rice juice - 25 March 2026

  In today's episode of "innocent AI usage goes wrong," a Stardew Valley player wastes a bunch of time and resources because a Google AI summary lied to their face... Read more.

• Stardew Valley and Wordle sure do make for a cute combination in this daily guessing game on the farm sim's crops - 10 March 2026

  I'm not really a Wordle person, but I'm not opposed to the daily challenge format if you spice it up a bit with a theme. I've played quite a few gaming and anime-inspired takes since the word puzzle first took off, but Stardewdle—a fan-made mishmash of Stardew Valley and Wordle—is one of the best I've seen yet... Read more.

• All about Sandy: Stardew Valley gift guide, schedule, and events - 6 March 2026

  It's official—You'll be able to romance Sandy in Stardew Valley after the 1.7 update, when she joins Clint as one of two new marriage candidates. But before then, what if you want to get to know Sandy a little better? Maybe feel out her personality before tying the knot?.. Read more.

• Stardew Valley's soundtrack is the game's unsung hero, and nails the surprisingly difficult task of making a cosy game's music memorable - 1 March 2026

  God, Stardew Valley turned 10 this week , didn't it? That feels sort of wild to think about. I didn't jump into the game until around 12 months later, but that's still nine entire years that this game has been in my life. It's certainly not been in my regular gaming rotation anywhere near as much as some of Pelican Town's most dedicated farmers, but it's one of those I always come back to when I desperately crave some cosy warmth in my life... Read more.

• Stardew Valley has basically become the Tolkien of cozy gaming - 28 February 2026

  It happens multiple times a week in online fantasy reader circles: Someone says they're new to fantasy, or a former avid reader returning as an adult, or otherwise looking to join the space by asking what they should read first. The answer that fantasy fans love to give, inevitably, is The Hobbit. I see it often enough that it almost feels like a gag, but so many fantasy lovers still really do think you should start with Tolkien... Read more.

• I went on a serious cottagecore Stardew Valley mod hunt and now I've got the cozy farm of my dreams for my next save - 27 February 2026

  It's been a decade since Stardew Valley continued a farming life obsession that started with Harvest Moon in my childhood, and I never seem to stay away for long. That's partially thanks to ConcernedApe's endless cycle of updates, and partially because the Stardew Valley mod scene is filled with talented fans determined to keep their hooks in me somehow... Read more.

• ConcernedApe finds out not everyone will be hot for the blacksmith in Stardew Valley's upcoming 1.7 update: 'You've all been dying to marry Clint... right? ...guys?' - 27 February 2026

  Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone celebrated the farming sim's 10-year anniversary last night with a fantastic video that dives into the game's past and looks ahead to its future. What shocked me most was how much the bones of Pelican Town have remained the same. What everyone else is talking about are the two marriage candidates who will be added in the upcoming 1.7 update . While most people are happy enough Sandy is being added to the dating pool, Clint has once again proved to be a divisive individual... Read more.

• All the Stardew Valley 10th anniversary announcements, including new romance options and a giant Pelican Town desk mat to replace your map keybinds - 27 February 2026

• Stardew Valley 10-year Anniversary - 26 February 2026

  Hello everyone,Today is the 10-year Anniversary of Stardew Valley. Back when Stardew first came out, I was worried it might be a flop. Now, 10 years later, it's one of the highest rated games on Steam, and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. It's been quite a journey. Of course, none of this would be possible without you, the players. So I would like to thank all of you for playing this game, for being part of the community, your love for the characters, the billions of crops you've harvested, and even your screams of terror as the serpents swarm over you in the skull caverns. There's been many free updates to the game over the years, and even now, there is a new major content update in the works--the 1.7 update. With 1.7, My goal is to add more depth to various areas of the game that are somewhat lacking, without "bloating" the game with too many systems. More depth, but not nec…

• ConcernedApe wins my funny bit of the year award for making Clint a marriage candidate in Stardew Valley's 1.7 update - 26 February 2026

  Stardew Valley , as of today, as temporally upsetting as it is to write this, is officially 10 years old. An entire decade! A far cry from being able to vote, but in the UK it could be convicted of a criminal offence, if such a situation were to arise. And to commemorate such an occasion, creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone shared a 22 minute long video showing some old builds of the game, shared some behind the scenes and tidbits, and revealed the new marriage candidates coming in the farming sims' 1.7 update.
