Stardew Valley creator shares a selection of adorable hand-drawn concept notes and sketches
Eric «ConcernedApe» Barone recently shared a selection of very early sketches and ideas that eventually led to the creation of fan-favourite farming sim, Stardew Valley.
They include notes and annotations handwritten by Barone that intimate how he expected players to interact with the different characters and items in the game.
"[I] was going through some things and found my old notebook with the original community centre concept," Barone tweeted, before sharing wonderful sketches taken from his original notebook.

It's since prompted fans to ask if Barone had plans to sell his doodles as a physical art book.
«If you published this notebook and sold it, I’d buy it, this is adorable,» confirmed one fan.
