This Stardew Valley documentary details the development of the indie video game Stardew Valley and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how Eric Barone, an Auburn native, made the very successful farming simulator RPG all by himself. Creating all the art, music, sound effects, dialogue and programming were a daunting task that had its ups and downs, but after four years of development, it all paid off for Eric. Stardew Valley would go on to be a huge success, selling 10 million copies as of January 2020.

The documentary also explores how Eric wanted to develop a small Harvest Moon clone at first, but eventually decided to expand the scope of his passion project and develop his dream version of what Harvest Moon could be. It also details why Eric Barone kept his real-life identity a secret for years and instead used his nickname ConcernedApe when he communicated about Stardew Valley’s development.
