The Haunted Chocolatier tease is that it’ll have farming.

Would be funny if Haunted Chocolatier just became a stardew valley DLC.

As much ad that would be cool, I want ConcernedApe to make it its own game. I don’t know how much net income he made from SDV, but he DESERVES another payday with HC.

Also, he may have changed enough engine/code stuff in HC so SDV and HC aren’t compatible with each other to bundle together.

Why not a separate update cross reference update between both games? I can imagine something Haunted Chocolatier related content (not the entire game) to be added into Stardew Valley that acts as a sort of "advertisement", to get people familiar with the new IP. Or not. Just an idea.

at this point, just make the chocolatier the next update to stardew

kinda smells like the same game

You should probably include a source of him being a transphobe if you are going to put that out there

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not adding a nonbinary does not make him a transphobe. Not every game, movie or story need a trans sexual character. It's fair to ask for an addition in a "roleplaying" game (which it is here to be fair), but its not fair to call someone transphobe if he or she does not do it.

I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.

If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.

There are mods to do this.

Would it be nice in the base game? Sure, but it's not there, and speculating that he's a transphobe because of that seems like a hell of a conclusion to make.

Edit: I should add that the game does support nonbinary via its special dialogue tokens, but not in the UI. This shows at least some level of support explicitly added by CA.
