French Translation Disclaimer:
La traduction française est actuellement disponible en version bêta. Bien que jouable dans son intégralité, elle n’a pas encore bénéficié d’une relecture finale ni de tests complets en jeu, et peut donc contenir de légères imperfections. Merci pour votre patience le temps que nous finalisions la version définitive.



We still plan on adding in what we had promised (pinning, NPC moods etc.) we just keep getting sidetracked! Our baby girl is also still very young so she takes up a ton of our time. We hope though that this new update will still get people excited! Keep posting your thoughts and wishes in our Discord, we still read all the feedback and appreciate everyone's comments ❤️ Knowing what our players want makes it easier for us to know what to focus on 🥰

Thanks again for all your support! We'll let everyone know when our French translation is out of Beta!!

[p]Hey everyone!

We’re really excited to share that we’ll be part of Cozy Quest 2025, running November 17–20.
This year’s event is the biggest Cozy Quest yet, with almost 300 cozy games joining in, so grab something warm to sip and settle in for a seriously comfy weekend of streams, showcases, and good vibes.

To celebrate Cozy Quest, our game will be 40% off for the duration of the event!

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]🎥Developer Broadcast🎥[/p][p]We also had the chance to join a Developer Panel for the event, chatting about our game along with some amazing fellow devs. Keep an eye out for us in the Simulation broadcast stream during the event! There will be a Let's Play Feature on our game, and right after, you can find us in the "Making it On Our Own" Panel. We had a great time recording for the panel, and we can’t wait for you to see it.[/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to take a moment and share some exciting news with you all![/p][p]In true Echoes of the Plum Grove fashion, we’ve expanded our family tree in real life, and we’re welcoming a little girl! 🍼💮[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll be taking a short hiatus from active development and community presence while we adjust to life as new parents. This game means the world to us, and so does this community. You’ve always been so supportive and kind, and we’re deeply grateful for all the encouragement you’ve given us. 💜[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll be back once things settle down a bit. In the meantime, here’s what’s still on the roadmap:
