If I was the developer behind one of the biggest games over the last 10 years—one arguably responsible for the huge surge in 'cosy gaming' and the return of the glorious farming sim—I'd probably reckon I was a bit of a hotshot.
Okay, I definitely wouldn't because I forever suffer from a severe case of imposter syndrome. But Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone doesn't seem to think he's all that of an advanced developer either. Something I found mighty interesting when reading through his interview with IGN for the game's 10-year anniversary is that he still very much thinks of himself as "a total amateur."
When talking about transitioning from solo development to working on the game with a team, Barone credits his fellow coworkers for their "unique sensibilities" and being able to do "so many things I couldn't have done on my own" like translating the game into multiple languages and introducing multiplayer.
