I didn't know Concerned Ape ever had help.
From the Stardew valley faq:
Stardew Valley 1.0 was developed completely solo by ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), over the course of 4.5 years. It was released on February 26th, 2016.
-The 1.1 update was also developed solo by ConcernedApe.
-Starting with 1.3, there have been others that helped with the updates, including:
Arthur Lee, “Mr. Podunkian” (1.4 & 1.5 updates).
Tom Coxon (Multiplayer net code in 1.3).
Alex Erlandson, “Zillix” (1.4 update).
Sickhead Games (Console ports).
The Secret Police (Mobile ports).
…and more. Full credits can be found in the game’s title screen.
Thanks, Farmer!
Me neither, but this guy has ConcernedApeLLC on his LinkedIn.
I really don't like that it uses the same assets as Stardew and seems to be very much in the same genre.
If he has CA's blessing to make it with the same art, then I look forward to it. If he just copied CA's art without asking, then I hope whatever measures CA takes work out in his favor.
The SV art could also just be early placeholder until he gets his own art, which is also fine to me.
stardew is literally harvest moon bruh
Does the dev have permission to use Stardew Valley assets, or are those placeholders?
It doesn't look like the exact same assets, but it clearly has the same color palette and design. Honestly it kinda feels like a slap in the face, but maybe the two of them came to some kind of agreement? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are we looking at the same screenshot? I see many assets that look the exact same as SDV. Bushes, the sand and grass floor tiles, the fence maybe?
Edit: Did some digging and apparently this is some engine the dev was working on while doing stuff for SDV and the ConcernedApe is cool with it. That explains the copied base assets.
That makes me feel a lot better knowing they've discussed it. I know Mr Podunkian helped out a ton for the last couple updates, so they probably worked really closely together.
It might just be because of the bike, but the videos I've seen of it give it a real Earth Bound feel.
