Despite the anticipation players might have for ConcernedApe's upcoming Haunted Chocolatier, it might be wise for the developer first to look back and borrow one of Stardew Valley's new features introduced during its 1.6 update. While it might have been initially unusual for a game like Stardew Valley to receive a major update after so many years since its release, it seems that ConcernedApe's focus had been on improving Stardew Valley's quality of life and longevity. More specifically, it's possible that ConcernedApe wanted to ensure Stardew Valley could stand on its own two feet so that development could resume on Haunted Chocolatier.
