Stardew Valley was is the largely the work a single developer: Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone. That only makes the farming RPG’s success even more heartwarming, but there was one other factor in the game’s release. Publisher Chucklefish brought the game to market on Steam and other platforms, but now Barone is parting with the company in order to go self-published. “When I first released Stardew Valley,” Braone says, “I was a complete novice to the video game industry. Chucklefish, as my publisher, oversaw the distribution, console ports and translations of the game. They set up the official wiki and helped me redesign the website, to great effect. And of course, Tom Coxon did amazing work adding network code to the game, making multiplayer a reality. “But I’m at a point now where I’m ready to move forward on my own. I think self-publishing is the end-goal of most indie developers, and I’m happy to be in a place where that’s possible!” For its part, Chucklefish says as part of the blog post that “We are proud to be part of the Stardew Valley story and wish ConcernedApe every success with his new self-publishing venture.”
