ConcernedApe’s homage to the farming simulators we’ve grown to love has sparked a wild amount of interest in similar “cozy games”. To have developed and sold enough copies to become what is referred to as one of the greatest video games of all time is no small feat. Years after its release, fans still have more to look forward to as another major update has been released. Developing games can take years even with a team of hundreds– and that’s if it ever sees the light of day. Updating it with fresh content post-launch is another situation entirely. So if you’re digging what games like Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons, and Fae Farm are putting down, keep up the momentum by looking into these middle-grade and teen stories.
