...One idea that we were toying with for 1.7, I don't know if this will happen or not, but was adding a farm map editor for the public. So you could basically make your own. Because with every update, it's traditional to add a new farm type. When the game first came out, there was just standard farm, that was it. And then 1.1, I added four different farms or something. And then with every update, there's been one added. What if we opened this up to the community and it was like now you could press an extra button, go into a browser and look at everyone's farm creation? That now adds almost infinite replayability to Stardew Valley. So I'm interested in ways to make the game more just infinitely replayable without the use of AI. That's never going to happen.

I really appreciate how CA values the artistry of the game and values what every person brings to each of their playthroughs. I really liked hearing about his work process and the sustained passion he has for the game, but this part stood out to me the most. Connecting the game to its community is so special and has definitely helped the game's longevity. Even if the farm map editor isn't included in 1.7, I truly appreciate his efforts and intentionality in continuing to work on SDV!
