Stardew Valley continues to sell
Often, in the world of video games, just one idea is enough to be able to sell many copies. Don't believe it? Well, Stardew Valley is here to prove you wrong. The game produced by Eric Barone has in fact recently passed the milestone of 20 million copies sold. A success that Barone himself struggles to believe, for many reasons.Let's start, obviously, from the beginning. Stardew Valley is the product of a single developer, Eric Barone. Man has spent a good part of his life learning to program and above all to draw. In this way he was able, in total solitaire, to produce the game, of which he also developed the engine. The title arrived on the market in 2016 and was immediately a great success: launched under the ConcernedApe label, the game immediately won over many users and 6 years after its release it has surpassed 20 million copies, 13 only on PC.| ); }
For Eric Barone this is certainly an important milestone, considering that he himself had a degree in Computer Science at the time of the work on the game, but without a stable job and above all not suited to his skills. Stardew Valley was his way out, able to fulfill his dream of having a job in the games industry.
