As WhiteboySlim mentioned in the latest roundtable, ConcernedApe is nearing the release of Stardew Valley. He says it should be out sometime this year and as such Chucklefish streamed the game for an hour. Personally I want to wait to experience the game fresh, but I don't fault you for peeking early. I'll clip out a bit from a recent blog post on the matter:
"The game is very close to being finished. I don’t have a set release date yet, but it will certainly be out this year. Single player is 99% finished, but needs a more polishing and debugging. Multiplayer still needs some work, and I am looking into possibly switching to MonoGame, which would allow for a Mac and Linux release. I can’t make any promises about that, but I’d really like for it to happen."

"...which would allow for a Mac and Linux release."
Honestly it seems odd for an indie title not to have Mac and Linux releases these days. I hope they decide to do this.
It seems highly likely and fans really love it so I imagine it will happen as some point. But yeah, it seems Mac and Linux are par for the course for Indies these days.
