I know Haunted Chocolatier is taking a long time. I apologize for that. I'm still working on it, and it's still my passion project.

Every time I think I'm done with Stardew Valley, I find myself coming back to add more things or fix things. It's hard to let go.

I want Haunted Chocolatier to be as good as it can possibly be. That's the most important thing to me.

Being a solo developer means I can only focus on one thing at a time, and Stardew Valley has a lot of momentum still.
