Eric Barone started making a clone of one of his favorite games to teach himself how to code in C#, and now that project is one of the most successful releases of 2016.
Stardew Valley, a simple-looking farming game, has done something rare for a PC indie release: it has has surpassed 1 million copies sold. This is something we don’t see often. To put this into perspective, by September 2015, only six games released last year had sold more than 1 million copies on Steam, according to data-tracking website Steam Spy: Grand Theft Auto V, Ark: Survival Evolved, H1Z1, Cities: Skylines, Rocket League, and Besiege. That’s good company for Barone’s game.
