After the enormous success that Stardew Valley supposed, a proposal of farming life that has already managed to overcome the goal of 10 million units, its creator, Eric Barone, is already thinking about his next projects, and it seems that he has a few ideas that would connect with the game universe. The creative would have up to two new proposals, although he warns fans not to have many illusions, for now.
"Yes, I am actually working on a couple of new projects," Barone confirmed to an amateur who asked him on twitter what he was working on right now. “One takes place in the world of Stardew Valley, but it is not an agricultural game. On the other hand, I'm still not 100% sure in the world, but somehow it will be linked to Stardew Valley«.
Yes, I'm actually working on a couple of new projects. One takes place in the world of Stardew Valley, but is not a farming game. The other, I'm not 100% sure about the world yet, but it will tie into Stardew Valley in some way

Faced with the inevitable focus of attention by the media and the players, the creative wants to make it clear that "do not get too excited." «I want to avoid too much exaggeration or speculation. I would like to make any game that is natural to me without too much pressure or expectation«, Says Barone. «I do not intend to make the next indie success, I just want to make another game that I enjoy and with which I am happy. And to share some of my ideas and art with the world. If it becomes popular, I will be happy, but that is not my approach.
I'm not setting out to make the next indie smash hit, I just want to make another game that I enjoy and am happy with. And to share some of my art & ideas with the world. If it becomes popular, I will be happy, but it's not my focus
