    Didn't this game's creator say that a given update was the last content update quite a few times already?

    Same as the Terraria devs, yeah.
    Glad he's found a passion project that makes him happy!

    Terraria is going to keep adding versions until they jump to 2.0

    To be honest, compared to 1.0, is almost a different game

    Not looking for a full changelog or anything but what would you say have been some of the most significant changes over the years?

    I mean, the original release had Skeletron as the final boss, which is not even the last one before hardmode now.

    So 7 or 8 bosses, wings, "classes" (specialized equipment) including summoner with wasn't a thing at all, new weapon types like yoyos, expert mode, several biomes, many events and mini games, town building, NPCs, modding support...

    Ahh ok I've played since most of those were added but not the mini games or towns. Might have to give it another play this winter

    Fyi, the next "last" update is expected to drop mid to late January (though it's been delayed multiple years at this point). If that's something you'd want to wait for.

    In this particular update, they've said that it will not be the last. But yeah, January is highly likely.

    It feels so bad how long it has been delayed. As you say, its been years now. But that's not because it keeps getting delayed over and over. It's only really been postponed once. The original release date was dropped because they decided to increase the scope, and then their feature-creep seemed to get out of hand. But I think that by far the biggest reason for the delay is the death of one of their team members. In that small tight-knit team it has caused a lasting malaise and loss of focus; understandably so, I think.

    In any case, I'm looking forward to that update. Terraria is a great game.

    I hadn't heard about the death. That's awful :(

    Fwiw, my note about the delay wasn't a complaint, just a setting of expectations. I think it's amazing that they're still doing this much support, essentially for free, for so long. I'll take it whenever they manage to get it out. Super grateful for the whole team.

    I think he has also said that there are other people working on the game now and he is mostly focusing on his new game iirc. So it sounds like he has just passed the torch and we're gonna get more Stardew content forever lol

    I just read the announcement. He's working solo on Haunted Chocolatier and says this about Stardew

    with 1.7 I have been trying to take more of a “creative director” role in the team, so that (at least for now) I can focus the vast majority of my attention on Haunted Chocolatier.

    and also

    in order for me to maintain a full connection to the game, I need my hand to touch every piece of new content. And there are some aspects of content development which I insist on doing myself, like the music.

    That was the last update where he was doing all the work, I think. Heavy lifting on newer updates is done by his employees now. His primary focus is Haunted Chocolatier, though he does approve everything that goes into Stardew Valley.

    CA is such a great developer and I have no idea what I did to deserve him.

    He's still going. This is the kind of person we need in every field.

    ooooh, that's exiting! Maybe I should give it a go again. It's been ages since I played last time

    I feel like Haunted Chocolatier will become our version of Half Life 3

    Nah. I'm sure SD had a similar development time, we're just aware of it at this point, so it feels "delayed".

    It'll be done when it's done. Declaring it a lost cause just because the solo Dev hasn't whipped it up in a year or two is misguided, to say the least.

    All I wish for is Clint to get an online girlfriend, my wife to be able to hang out with her friends again, and the cute Joja cashier to move into town

    Would be cool if they added some more buildings and rooms and furniture and tech as well.

    I think the game would be very cool with electricity, like off grid solar, maybe coal generators if you have a water supply and batteries to buffer the energy, and pumps and water tanks. Maybe automated fertilizer systems. It might also be cool to hire labor to work on the farm and try to turn it into a bit of a business sim.
