ConcernedApe is Eric Lorenz Barone (pronounced buh-ROH-nee; born December 3, 1987), the creator and lead developer of Stardew Valley, as well as the name of the company he founded to continue game development. Born in Los Angeles, California, he grew up in Auburn, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, and studied computer science at the University of Washington Tacoma, graduating in 2011. From 2012 to 2019, he was the sole developer of the game (except the multiplayer networking code in 1.3) and created all art, sound effects, and music, working roughly 10 hours a day, seven days a week, over the four and a half years it took to finish it. He currently resides in Seattle, Washington. In early 2019, ConcernedApe formed a small development team to continue updating the game. The 1.4 update of the game was developed by ConcernedApe, Arthur Lee (a.k.a. Mr. Podunkian), and Alex Erlandson (a.k.a. zillix). The 1.5 update of the game was developed by ConcernedApe and Arthur Lee. See Stardew Valley for more info about the game's development.

Trivia

  • Setting the favorite thing when starting the game to "ConcernedApe" will trigger special dialogue upon consumption of a Stardrop.
  • When launching Stardew Valley, if the player clicks on ConcernedApe's face, he will open his eyes or remove his sunglasses and a 'splat' or honk sound will play. There is also a 2% chance that the screen and ConcernedApe logo will turn green and have leaves fill the screen, similar to the effect when drinking the Forest Magic potion.[1]
