While the creator is taking their time to make sure the patch is ready for release, they have made it clear that progress is coming along while also sharing a little tease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over on Twitter, Barone has shared a screenshot from <em>Stardew Valley<\/em>, showing off the new &#8220;Big Chest&#8221; in update 1.6. The post goes on to say that the developer has &#8220;self-imposed&#8221; a crunch mode to get the patch out but made a &#8220;ton of progress&#8221; on it last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A ton of progress on 1.6 last month, it&#39;s (self-imposed) extreme crunch mode, nose to the grindstone (raw nose) mode. Heres&#39; one of the many additions in 1.6. Keeping mostly everything secret <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cFT3Nks8z0\">pic.twitter.com\/cFT3Nks8z0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ConcernedApe (@ConcernedApe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ConcernedApe\/status\/1730673829083775387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing much has been said about what&#8217;s coming, as the developer wants to keep &#8220;mostly everything secret.&#8221; However, we have had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/cats-in-hats-could-be-coming-to-stardew-valley\/\">some teases in the past<\/a>, such as hats for animals. But we&#8217;ll know more once the update does roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-labor-of-love\">A labor of love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Barone seems clearly passionate about their game, which has gone down as one of the best indie titles in recent memory. When asked why they continue to work on <em>Stardew Valley<\/em>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ConcernedApe\/status\/1730684624706441377\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creator said<\/a>: &#8220;I want it to be the best it can be,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it&#8217;s been my life&#8217;s work and I care a lot about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of update 1.6, the game is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/due-to-popular-demand-stardew-valley-orchestral-tour-is-adding-more-dates\/\">going on tour<\/a>, with an orchestra set to travel the globe playing arrangements from the <em>Stardew<\/em> soundtrack. The tour kicks off in Los Angeles on February 16, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a personal note, I&#8217;m actually fairly new to the game myself. However, I became rather hooked on its simplistic visuals, relaxing mechanics, and the sheer amount of content that&#8217;s been lovingly put in. The next patch is definitely one that a lot of fans will be keen to try out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re getting bigger chests!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":868,"featured_media":435539,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[20147,20450,19109,19138,688,111],"internal-label":[24255],"invoiceable_action":[23725],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":868,"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","user_nicename":"andrew-heaton"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/stardew-valley-night-market.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/andrew-heaton\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/stardew-valley-night-market.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435538"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/868"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435538"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":455522,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435538\/revisions\/455522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435538"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=435538"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=435538"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=435538"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=435538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
