In an interview, he revealed the sights with both games.
This is about two weeks, when Eric Barone (worried) gave an interview for a PC -Gamer PC. In an interview, he talked about his first and favorite game Starting valleyWhich became a complete hit after his release in 2016. Even after almost 10 years, when the game was released for Steam, Starting valley This is still very popular with fans, and he himself works on the game and adds various updates. Moreover, however Ghostly chocolateHe also revealed several information about this name by the field.
O Starting Valley
In short, this huge hit, in which an independent title has changed incorrectly, will briefly represent those that could miss. This is a classic farmer simulator where you inherit an old farm from a grandfather in a picturesque and quiet city. You begin a completely new life, you must find out how such a farm actually leads and falls among local residents. First of all, you have the task of growing all types of agricultural crops, but you also have time to explore mines where you will fight monsters and collect other useful ingredients.
Among the NPCs you meet in the city, you will find friends or even love that you can create a family with, and also in the museum there are collections of fishing, cooking and assemblies. In the background of all this, you also have a story in which you can either try to return the city of its former glory, or join the Jojamart corporation, which changed the lifestyle in the Stardew Valley.
As Eric himself said in an interview, in Starting valley He did not start working because he had large ambitious plans with the game. He just wanted to create his little game that would inspire games that he loved in childhood and raised them. The mentioned games are how Harvest MoonIN Runa Factoryor SimsField but the most popular part was just Harvest MoonWhich was inspired most of all in creating their game. According to him, he wanted to make his own world, which will look like this game.
He wanted to create his little game that would inspire games that he loved in childhood.
Since he could be very critical together, he thought that it was absolutely terrible in the development of the game, and no one would like to. Even today, after almost 15 years of experience in developing a video game, he thinks that it can do something better. As his skills grew in development, he thought that after his whole game would like at least a small community of people who loved Harvest Moon How he. But they will probably tell you that this is not so good.
On Starting valley He worked for about 4.5 years, and his big surprise after the release in 2016 became quite popular. Thus, he suddenly had a large base of fans, which his game was excited, and therefore he immediately rushed to repair beetles and planned to add more content to the game. To this day, all fans value and care about them, so he is still working on the game. Now you can play Starting valley Not only on a computer where the game was originally released on Steam, but also on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch and on iOS and Android devices. During this time, more than incredible 41 million copies on all platforms were sold.
More than 41 million copies of the game were sold.
In an interview, he also said that it is difficult to create a game as a solo developer, because it takes so much time to complete the game. And if he has been working on the game for 4 years, during this time you change slightly in another mood, for example, where he can prefer another palette of colors and so on. Then he has a desire to return to some parts of the game and constantly adjust them, which will take some time.
And what is the opinion that Starting valley Is this a model for many similar games that have been created in recent years? According to him, it’s great that Starting valley Inspired other creators to work on these games. Although, as he said, of course, he himself cannot attribute all his merit, as when creating Starting valley He was very inspired by a series of games Harvest MoonAs I mentioned earlier. In any case, he likes to see that this style of games was revived because he loved similar games, like a child.
New title Chocolatier
About development Ghostly chocolate He was known for some time. The game is still in the early days, but in an interview, Eric said several attractions. It will be a game that will be a little like something Starting valleyBut it will be more RPG. Elements such as meeting with neighbors in the city, achieving goals and the like, are not missed. In this game, you will play for chocolate manufacturers who live in the castle -conjure. Your task is to collect rare ingredients, produce excellent chocolate sweets and sell them in your store. Eric is working on this game alone again, help will probably need a port on the console and localization again. He intends to publish the game himself. He has been working on a new title since 2020. But since he still devoted himself to work on Starting valleyHe did not have so much time for a new game.
In an interview, he said that at that moment he Starting valley In total, in a stable stage, he already thinks that he will move his work until he becomes Ghostly chocolate made. But they say they don’t think they will Starting valley He completely turned off and will probably release more updates. At what stage of development, therefore, Ghostly chocolate found? Said that he is currently at the work stage on “Vertical slice” And he still adjusts this. At the same time, he is already working on the content that will be in the game. In any case, this is still at the beginning, and the development will take some time. He does not want to rush and stress.
The village valley is in a rather stable phase, so he thinks that he will move his work on it until I finish the chocolature with ghosts.
However, he somewhat revealed the plans and visions of the game. The biggest difference from Starting valley It should be a general atmosphere. Ghostly chocolate This will be more terrible, given that the game takes place in a ghost and a magic castle with ghosts. So we expect a mysterious atmosphere. We should not expect from a completely evil, dark atmosphere, but compared to the sunny Starting valley There the difference will know. Next said this Starting valley On that basis there was more where he emphasized the foundations of human means to existence and existence, since our task was to grow cultures. IN Ghostly chocolate On the contrary, he thought about what to do next.
The new name should not only differ in the atmosphere, but also in the ability to begin creativity and imagination. He wants to offer interesting, perhaps strange things, because this path will leave the right in people, remembering feelings and experience. He also thinks about making chocolate a more creative, capricious or even mysterious way. This wants to replace the classical “Engineering” procedure, where we get the ingredients, and the game tells us how to do it. On Ghostly chocolate Thus, we will have to wait a while, but the game from already available demonstrations looks very attractive again.
