ConcernedApe continues to tease ’s upcoming 1.4 update with new fish ponds and customizations. You can't really blame the guy for taking his time. Whereas most games have dozens or sometimes hundreds of folks working on updates, Stardew Valley is mostly the brainchild of just one person: Eric Barone, who is better known by his online handle of ConcernedApe. Much like a decade before, Stardew Valley is another casual game that is taking over the world. First, it came to PCs where many indie titles get their start. After that, it migrated to consoles, mobile, and even the PlayStation Vita. Stardew's expansion is notable for being a game that was mostly just a single-player experience until last year when the pixelated farming simulator finally got multiplayer on PC.

Some new shrubs at the bottom could indicate some new berry bushes, while two new hats are seen on some of the farming characters.

There's still no timeline on when we can expect update 1.4 to drop, but it must be coming soon.
