A former 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley developer is now worജking on their own life sim game, this time set in a bustling California city instead of Grandpa's farm.

As highlighted by myPotatoGames over on Twitter, the currently unnamed city life sim is being developed by , who previously assisted with some of Stardew Valley's development alongside the game's original developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone - which is why the two games appear ꦍto have very similar feel to them. 

According to Mr. Podunkian, they were hired by Barone to help with the farming sim's 1.4 and 1.6 updates - assisting with everything from bug fixing to developing new features like the tailoring system and fish tanks - giving Barone more time to work on their upcoming game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Haunted Chocolatier - not to mention the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:other secret project they've also got in the works.  

Mr. Podunkian's game is still fairly early in development, hence why it doesn't quite have a name yet, but we can get a pretty big insight into the up✤coming project via the developer's Twitter account. The g🅘ame's world is so vibrant with buildings like coffee shops, salons, restaurants, and more decorating the city. It's also got a variety of characters, all of which also sport the pixel-art art style we're now used to seeing from these Stardew Valley-likes. 

A full list of the game's features is yet to be revealed, but we do know that it's being built in the programming language C#, as well as a "heavily modified" version of the software MonoGame. As by the developer: "The engine was developed while I was [ConcernedApe's] employee as a generic engine for Stardew-like games. He graciously allowed me to continue using it after I left the company as 💜it was written entirely by me!"

We might be waiting a little while before we can play this one for ourselves, but it's definitely worth keeping tabs on the developer to see where the game ends up in the future.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise🎐 lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
