It’s always interesting when we get to see video games in their embryonic state.Stardew Valley’s lone developer, Eric Barone, worked on his farming sim smash hit for years before it was released in 2016, and yesterday he found his old notebook and started sharing some sketches and doodles he made while planning its features.

This got a great response on Twitter, and Barone tweeted some more pictures in response to requests. That includes an early doodle of JojaMart owner Morris:

Barone’s next game isHaunted Chocolatier, which looks like a spooky-sweet cousin to Stardew Valley. He’s currently taking a break from it though in order to work onyet another free update to Stardew Valley.
I played Stardew Valley for the first time ever on Wednesday. Please send me tips because I spent the whole hour just anxious that I was focusing on the wrong things and was going to miss out on something.
