Haunted Chocolatier screenshots withheld until 'fully baked'

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone recently gave a small update on Haunted Chocolatier. He said the project is taking longer than expected because it's a bigger game than Stardew Valley and because he's a perfectionist. He also explained why there are no screenshots or detailed system descriptions while the game is in development: "Please excuse me, but I don’t like to share too many screenshots, or even talk about the systems in too much detail, while the game is in development," Barone wrote.

"Partly, it feels like I’m serving a half-baked bread. I would rather serve a fully baked bread." That choice isn't surprising given that as far as we know Haunted Chocolatier isn't close to being finished. There's plenty that could change before release, and Barone warned that revealing features early risks disappointing players: "If I reveal them early, I risk disappointing players if the final product does not match their expectation." Inaccurate screenshots truly are the goopy bread of indie game development.
