Cozy Keep News

[p]Hello there, Cozy Keepers![/p][p]One of the most requested features has finally been added to the game... so let's get straight to the details![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎣 Fishing[/h3][p]There was so much water around the shop, yet the only thing you could do with it was take a bath to avoid smelling bad. Well, not anymore! Some of these rivers now have fish you can catch.
[/p][p][/p][p]You'll first need a Wooden Fishing Rod and some bait of your choosing.
Then, find a fishing spot (these are water docks where you must stand to use your fishing rod).[/p][p][/p][p]Once you're on the dock with your fishing rod and bait equipped, simply cast your line and wait a few seconds for a fish to bite.[/p][p][/p][p]A mini-game will start shortly after — all you need to do is hit the targets at the right time.
You can't lose this mini-game, but hitting the targets will help you catch the fish faster.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🧑‍🌾 New NPC – Aveline
[/h3][p]Aveline is the daughter of the old fisherman of the Valley. She’ll sell you fishing-related products and help you get started with your new hobby.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🪤 Fishing Traps[/h3][p]Aveline has a few broken fishing traps that you can repair and use to catch certain aquatic creatures.
[/p][p]After repairing a trap, interact with it to submerge it in the water (no bait required).
Fishing traps take about 2–3 days to catch something. Once ready, interact with the trap to collect its contents.[/p][p]Note: Don’t forget to submerge the trap again after collecting your catch![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🐟 New Product Display – Raw Fish Hanger[/h3][p]Perfect for displaying your freshly caught fish.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🦪 New Workstation – Pearl Extraction Table[/h3][p]Fishing traps can catch clams, which can be opened at this workstation to obtain White Pearls and Black Pearls.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Changelog[/h3]

[p]Hello there, Cozy Keepers![/p][p]As promised, I’m working on delivering content faster. [/p][p]Let’s see what this update has to offer![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🐫The Nomad Trader[/h3][p]A new NPC will visit the Valley from time to time, resting by the lake near your shop. [/p][p]This NPC will have an inventory and will be willing to trade his goods for yours(if the deal is fair).[/p][p][/p][p]You can offer up to 7 unique items from your inventory, and the same applies to his inventory.[/p][p][/p][p]The Nomad Trader will arrive in the Valley early in the morning and leave the next day before you wake up, giving you plenty of time to weigh your options and make trades![/p][p]The Nomad Trader will return after 3–7 days, depending on your luck.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️Changelog[/h3]

[p]Hello there, Cozy Keepers![/p][p]The latest update has just arrived, introducing features players have been asking for for a while now... so let’s get straight to the details![/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛒Customer Behavior Tweaks[/h3]

• [p]Increased customer patience, as things can get overwhelming the bigger your store gets.[/p]
• [p]Improved how customers decide what to buy (still needs more balancing, but we're getting there).[/p]
• [p]Customers are now more forgiving when you don’t have everything they want in stock.[/p]
• [p]Customers should now ask less about certain products if you stop selling them for a few days.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]💬Haggling Customers[/h3][p]What’s a game about selling products without customers trying to get a better deal?[/p][p][/p][p]Every now and then, customers will try to haggle before paying. They’ll wait by the Management Table, and you can interact with them to start a mini-game. If you hit the targets, you'll increase the selling price of the product. If you miss a target, the customer gets a discount instead.[/p][p]Customers won't get mad if you choose not to haggle, it's entirely up to you.[/p][p]Early on, when customers are only spending a few coins, haggling might not make a big difference to your profits.[/p][p]By default, you’ll need to hit 3 targets in a row to earn a 15% bonus. At that point, you can stop and take your win or keep going for 2 more targets to increase the bonus to 25%.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]📦New Product Displays[/h3][p]Based on player feedback, a new set of product displays has been added:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Log and Plank Racks (10 slots)[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]📜Final Note[/h3][p]In the Roadmap, I mentioned this update would include new decorations, a new NPC, etc. These features will arrive in the coming weeks. I believe it's better to release smaller updates focused on specific systems or areas every few weeks, rather than one large update every month with a mix of unrelated content. I’ll do my best to stay organized and release updates faster.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Once again, thank you so much for your support!❤️[/h3][p][/p][p]Also, check out the Steam page for a new game made by a fellow game dev and good friend of mine:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
