Can you marry npcs in stardew valley multiplayer

The community surrounding Stardew Valley has grown so large, and with so many people producing fan art, memes, videos, mods, theories, guides, and more that its sometimes hard to remember that this all started in my own head. As an idea, a vision. A vision that I grinded away at to materialize into the physical world. And now its expanded into this massive thing that is largely external to me. I sincerely hope that Stardew Valley, and all my future work, will be a force of good in the world.

I have a lot of old Stardew Valley files on my computer. And somewhere, I have an external hard drive with back ups of the game that I took periodically during the entire course of development.

The games that I played as a kid inspired me with feelings of boundless creativity and possibility. To be able to pass that special type of feeling on to others, is to me a noble pursuit. So Im really grateful that Ive been given the opportunity to do something like that. And I hope to continue it with Haunted Chocolatier and beyond.

It seems that Stardew Valley has been a positive force for a lot of people. Not just as a fun game, but as an experience that brought them comfort, hope, joy, and even taught valuable life lessons. And with multiplayer, an experience that brought them closer to friends and family, or even to their future spouses.

To highlight some of that growth, I put together a little video that shows off some very early versions of the game, with my commentary. You can watch that below. It will be available on Feb 26th, 2026 at 11am PST.
