Good morning!
February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

I love people who play indie games, but also I'm always a little disappointed when I see people saying "I love indie games, my favorites are: *insert the biggest and most popular indie games of the last 5 years and nothing else*"
I wish more people would search for gems, not just play the biggies.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Sometimes you just accept things as a part of your day to day, so take a second and say out loud...
"We're making a game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! where you play the truck in an Isekai story."
You can think "...hell yeah..." if you like!
It's coming out next year!
