Iconic indie game Stardew Valley celebrated its 5th anniversary yesterday. Developer ConcernedApe expressed his thanks on Twitter.
Arguably one of the greatest indie gaming success stories of all time, Stardew Valley is the creation of Eric Barone. Barone, better known by his alias ConcernedApe, single-handedly brought the game to life back in 2016. Since then, the game branched out to major consoles and sold more than 10 million copies as of January 2020.
For half a decade, ConcernedApe continued to work on, refine and update the game. Recently, update 1.5 of the game arrived for the Switch, PS4 and Xbox One versions. As one of the biggest updates the game has ever received, update 1.5 added the new region of Ginger Island. Furthermore, local split screen co-op also made its way to the game, allowing players to share the farming fun with friends and family. Currently, only mobile users have yet to receive the new update and will likely be receiving it soon.
Besides the video game, the official Stardew Valley Board game also released a few days ago. You can read more about the board game at ConcernedApe’s developer blog.

One of the last surviving breed of MacBook gamers, I have learnt to appreciate running games on the lowest graphics setting possible. Prone to crashing, both in-game and on the road. A fan of indie games, because I can't afford anything that is more expensive than a lunch. Follow me on Twitter or email me if you prefer.
