Stardew Valley is a time-intensive game. This is also shown by the latest success of developer Eric Barone.
The creator of Stardew Valley has via X published a post in which he proudly reported that he had earned all 49 achievements in his own life simulation. He has officially completed Stardew Valley 100 percent and can be quite proud of that, after all, the undertaking took a full eight years.
An infinite game ended
Since the indie title is designed to be played endlessly, it’s hard to pinpoint an actual point at which it’s 100 percent finished. Obtaining all 49 achievements seems to make the most sense here. These cover many different areas of the game and make one Progress
measurable.
Stardew Valley inventor and one-man developer Eric Barone has now achieved this, as he proudly presents on X:
The comments under the post also show how impressive this is. The user Ash, for example, writes that he has already spent 800 hours in Stardew Valley and still has some achievements outstanding.
In addition to numerous congratulations, there are also numerous humorous references to the fact that Eric Barone is not only a player, but also the developer of Stardew Valley. For example, the user Matt writes:
Hopefully the developer takes note of your success.
Eric Barone jokingly replied:
The developer gave me a pat on the back for this.

Another entertaining comment stammt von katsuyakku | illust:
Congratulations! Now you just have to hope that the developer doesn’t add any new achievements.
Now that Eric himself has achieved all the achievements, he will probably think twice about adding more later. Or maybe that’s a reason for him to create even more playing time for him?
Unfortunately, Eric Barone doesn’t reveal why it took eight years to complete his own game 100 percent. In the end, it doesn’t matter that much because video games are ultimately about having fun and not forcing you to achieve any goals. Unless, of course, you are passionate trophy hunters.
