What an awesome story. Just goes to show, one day you think you're a loser, the next you have hundreds of millions of dollars in your bank account. Just like Stardew, if you water the seeds you plant, they'll always grow.

playing stardew while watching this

Amazing story, it was very well told too, thank you

is amber real? nah, I doubt it

Wait, how come he had only 12 mil with 30mil copies of 15% game sold?

Must be nice, my parents told me to stop playing on the computer and go do real things

Shout out to Amber. She’s the real deal. I hope she’s super happy.

"Day A and Night...." 🤡

Un desafio muy dificil tuvo que superar pero lo consiguio con mucho esfuerzo

I didn't even know you had this channel, instant sub. Hell yeah, more colonello

LESSON: Stick to your own thing. It can be a lifetime before you make money. You might not even make it and stay poor. But at least no one else controls you.

Good video!

Moral of the story: be persistent, don't give up, and find yourself a good woman that shares your interests and will stick by your side through along the journey

in USA a kid can buy an AK47 but you are telling me that the red stuff of the pokeball is a problem??? wtf

Such an inspiring story. Never give up.

Amber is such a jewel of a person. I don't think Stardew Valley would exist without her.

So my dream life all along is being played by the creator of one of my favorite game. And I'm very much inspired.

Amber deserves all the prismatic shards..

good video, but shitty click baity title

I recently started playing & wanted to know more about ConcernedApe. Thanks for this history!

Fun fact: Agatha Christie hated Poirot. :) - That is how... :)

Amber is the pure contrast of an average girl. "No money no love"

My husband and I bought Stardew many years ago and it was a great game. After a few years we both got a little bored and started a different one. But I found out that he had continued working on the game and was adding the big update, I was really happy to find out he was still working to expand and improve it. I started playing again right before the release and am addicted again lol! Hoping he keeps up with Stardew as he can. Will definitely be checking out his new game

Holy shit that is a terrible and biased take on Sarkesian. She was fully a grifter. She didn't have "good points" and was only even commenting in the space to generate controversy.

I love how a one in a million scenario of someone breaking out big time is always somehow proof that "with enough hard work, you can accomplish anything..." Yeah mf, if you are the one in a million that make it!! 🤣

Thats why its a good game, if he felt it was good it wouldnt have became this great

the guy is just Sebastian. Like exactly like Sebastian. 🤣

3 piping hot mouse is the best

1:45 😂😂

People can be so so horrible to a person for making a game they enjoyed at first then get pizzed off to the creator because of their own problems with it. So immoral

Eric is lucky his game made such a big hit, or all of those years would've been for nothing; not all indie devs are so lucky with their first big title. Glad he struck gold though, it's an inspiring story to not give up on one's dream, to see it to completion.

yea thank god I didnt know bout this game it sounds pretty absurb, the money is alot I guess yea but it is really worth your time for it?

Amber truly loved eric

I always want to move on to new things. If I got 12 million from Stardew Valley I would immediately hire a team and make something completely different.

You kind of glossed over the mobile game he made but that sounds like something that would have disturbed those close to him. All that work and time and now you're stopping to make something from scratch?

I played Stardew before and never knew that this game was a one-man made, what a legend, props to Amber for supporting him so much. I don't play Stardew anymore but I still love all the moments I spent in the game, it was one of the few and likely rare of a gem game that makes me really appriciated all the effort that was put in to make such a memorable genre of a game.

Damn, Eric's a beast no question, but he's lucky he found such a good gf.

I wanna give him a hug

i love this game!!!

Amber is a beautiful human and Chucklefish is awesome.

I just saw the concert in philly. It was awesome.

No snu snu in game, no JC denton voice, of course he hated it.

Star dew real funny directed energy weapons stars rats

Amber is a fucking GIGACHAD

That's a very generous summarization of Anita lmao

Getting the creator of Harvest Moon (the game that inspired Stardew Valley) must have been an amazing moment for Eric. I'm so stoked that he got to experience that after all his hard work ❤

With enough persistence, but never forget the support he received from his SO, friends, and family. He deserved the support and I'm glad it paid off for him and his new community. Kudos to those who stuck by his side and propped him up when he was his own biggest doubter.

Microsoft charging 40k for a patch sounds fake as hell, and if it has any shred of credibility, is likely a huge exaggeration.

As an Indie Dev myself working on my first title, this video was extremely interesting to watch and well done. Thanks for making it.

I can relate so much to this... Not anywhere close to the success Eric has found, but have provided for my family with the games I've developed. Finding a balance in working on them and being with the family can really be tough, especially in the weeks/months before a release. Great story!
