The major Spring Update is now live, and also, the New Neighbears DLC!

26 Apr, 2022

We are so pleased to announce the release of both our free Spring Update, as well as our first DLC for Cozy Grove, the New Neighbears DLC!

New Neighbears contains the following:

4 new bears. Their stories are longer than any of the game’s original bears, but also designed to take less calendar time to complete – i.e. less waiting in between story beats, and no “waiting for one bear to give you something that another bear needs.” (See, we’ve been listening to you!) These bears appear on the island once you have ascended certain of the old bears.
A new type of critter – Butterflies – to catch and collect during the Spring and Summer seasons.
A new option (once you’ve completed a certain quest, we won’t say more than that) to bring all the bears together in one place with you for a special group moment.
A new song added to the background music collection
Unique new clothing that you’ll automatically receive upon purchasing the DLC
Bonus: some free expansions for your clothing closet, as an extra “thank you” for supporting us.
Bonus: a free, special house cat.

The Spring Update brings Ms. Carouse back to the island, and with her:

New festival items you can earn.
Dyes, which allow you to change the color of decorations
Orchids, which are a Spring-only source of special dyes
Ducklings, a temporary Spring pet that will follow you around the island once you've unlocked them!
A new gold storage chest you can buy from Pandam, if you're a late game player with way too much gold in your inventory.
... and more, including some nice bugfixes and balance tweaks.

Thank you, all of you, for your support and encouragement. As always, we are very grateful to you, and we hope you enjoy these updates. :)

Update 4.2

16 Feb, 2022

Howdy Scouts! This is intended to be the last update before our major Spring Update and New Neighbears DLC. It's a rollup of bugfixes and QoL that we don't want to make you wait for:

Added an additional row of slots to the default backpack size (increasing it for everyone)
Fix for issue where cats were not visually appearing hungry, even though they were hungry
Canceled animal yoga class (animals won’t appear bent out of shape anymore)
Sped up the animal feeding animation sequence
Allow players to select what items to give in all delivery quests, not just some of them
Fix for getting stuck when scrolling in inventory/filters
Fixed issue where the game could freeze if the player drops a large stack of decorations
Allison’s photo quests require less food
Quest turn-in UI stays visible when quest log is open
Quest log and backpack UIs auto-hide when you’re moving an item
New solution that will hopefully prevent players from borking their save files by accidentally time travelling backwards. (No guarantees here, but we tried our best.)
Speculative fix that will hopefully stop chaseable imps from sometimes getting trapped inside objects and thus becoming uncatchable by the player
Add support for future premium DLC!
Pandam no longer sells snow sculptures
Updated catbox button UI to make it more obvious how to convert hairballs into other essence.
Fix for issue where the dowsing rod might fail to detect new targets at the start of a new day.
Cleaned up some technical debt.
Various minor performance improvements.

The major Winter Update is now live!

20 Dec, 2021

Hi Scouts! We're pleased to release our third major update to Cozy Grove! Here's a list of the highlights for the "Winter Update":

The Winter Festival begins December 23rd and runs for 6 whole weeks. It includes: new snowfolk characters you can craft and speak to, special gifts you can make for some of your island friends, and lots of fun with snow!
Most collection, crafting and storage UIs now have filters, to help you quickly find the item you’re looking for.
When you buy a hint from Charlotte, you can now choose which quest to buy it for.
The new Wishing Well now appears on fully-expanded islands. It allows you to buy the rarer recipes you might still be missing, if you can rustle up enough coin...
New background music track.
There is now one more tent upgrade (and 5th interior room) that can be purchased via Flamey.
New "complete the pattern" minigame that spawns randomly in the world.
Pandam now sells greens and roasted roots, in addition to his usual things.
Clothing closet default size increased by 30. You can buy more space for it, too.
Improvements to photography quests and hints to make them less confusing / difficult.
Perishable items left on the ground inside your tent will no longer disappear over time.
Bears will generally avoid wandering on top of hidden objects.
Darla and Ms. Carouse will not request clothing that's awarded by a quest and thus not immediately obtainable.
Blue clams once again give essence when you hit them with enough skips.
When bears step in front of major landmarks (thus hiding them), the hidden landmarks will be slightly less transparent / more visible.
Fixed issue that was causing Darla to give out more than the expected numbers of clothing items like tichels.
Various performance improvements/optimizations.
Various other bugfixes and minor improvements.

We have already started work on our Spring update. We'll share more details next year!

v3.2.0 is now available!

4 Nov, 2021

As of now v3.2.0 has been made available on PC and is being submitted for certification to Apple Arcade and consoles! The changes include:

Have you been wondering what cat hairballs are useful for? We're finally ready to tell you! Hairballs are the meta essence - they can now be converted into any other essence via your catbox. :D
Improvements to selecting an item when there are multiple nearby/overlapping objects. This will hopefully reduce frustration some folks have reported feeling when they are trying to click or tap on a specific animal or object in a crowded space.
We've upgraded our game engine, which should help us better support old and new devices while adding new features and improvements.
Improvements to info panels so they don't extend off-screen on some devices
Radar will point you at nearby rocks that you can harvest
Fix for cat beckoner recipe for ultra rare demon cats
Darla won't ask for hats you can only buy with wolf coins
Darla wont request clothes that can be locked by quests
Jester mask is now correctly tagged as a full face mask, not a hat
Fixed a number of bugs/issues with photography quests
Ursula will give you some decorations you might need to do her photography quest
Fix one-off patches of ground surrounded by beach
Improved inventory sort ordering
Fixed bug preventing animals from getting increased happiness from ultra-rare and legendary decorations
Removed old obsolete berry jam and sunflower items
Automatically remove old/deprecated items from collections that shouldn't be there
Fixed issue where Flamey wasn't aware of spirit logs in chests
Hungry imps shouldn't drop unnecessary excess quest items
Jack-o'-lanterns can now be sold for a small amount of coins
Fall lamps now limited to Ms. Carouse's store.
Fixed a memory leak that could cause game to crash over time.
Fix bug causing some pinned crafting recipes to display unreadable code instead of a description of the recipe.
Fixed a bug that caused some recipes to drop at the wrong times
Other minor fixes and improvements

As always, these changes were driven largely by the community's feedback. Thank you as always for helping us make Cozy Grove a better game.

The major Autumn Update is now live!

7 Oct, 2021

Hi Scouts! We're pleased to release our second major update to Cozy Grove! Here's a list of the highlights for the "Autumn Update":

If you've upgraded it enough, you can now go inside your tent and decorate the interior! As you further upgrade your tent with Flamey, more rooms will be added to the interior (but not every upgrade adds a new room). You can decorate your tent's interior to your heart's content. When you enter for the first time, there should be a small housewarming gift waiting for you within.
You know what enjoys hanging out indoors with people? Cats do! Lure them into your tent with the mysterious Cat Beckoner. Experiment and see which cats you can attract, and share your recipes with others. Note: you must leave food in the Beckoner overnight in order to attract a cat, and your odds of attracting a rarer cat will increase if you use at least one high quality prepared food.
New Halloween event, coming to Cozy Grove from 20 October till 1 November. Who knows what spookiness might descend on the island... Don't miss it!
We know that many of you have so many plants that it takes you forever to harvest them, so we've added the magical Accordion tool to the game! Use it to harvest many plants simultaneously by playing them a sweet tune that makes them sway with delight. Note: the Accordion will appear in Kit's store once you have revealed Bruin on the island.
New Photography minigame! Join Arjun in his favorite activity to capture the magic of the island and your decorative scenes.
Bunnies will now be available to join your outdoor birds and deer.
New background music.
Improved stone skipping activity.
New clothing options, including some Halloween-exclusive outfits.
Lots of new decorations for the new tent interior and outside.
Improved decoration placement and movement.
Added 20 slots to clothing closet.
Improved sorting to merge items.
Don't show happiness flyups when an animal's happiness has not changed
Joyous and happy imp essence can be recycled
Many other bugfixes and improvements.

We are already starting work on our Winter update, which will be smaller than this one as we can't keep putting off addressing some of the technical debt that has built up over the life of the project (technical debt makes it hard to add more to the game without causing perf and loading time problems, and just generally slows down development). We'll share more details on the Winter update later this year!
