Cozy Caravan News

Hoyooo! How's it going, Cozy Caravaners? After the new Gothic Caravan pack dropped last week, did you perhaps feel like you wanted to wear something a little better matched to your caravan? Well, you're in luck. Introducing the Nightshade pack!



Hmm, wait a sec, looks like one of the characters in that pic is a lop-eared bunny... 🤔

That's right, we've got not one, but TWO new animals you can choose from! The Bunny, and our first reptile, the Gecko! 🐰🦎



The bunny is one of the most highly requested character additions since we launched on Early Access, so we're thrilled to finally have it available! And the gecko has long been on our list, so we'd love to hear what you think of them!

[h2]Future Updates[/h2]
Since we launched in Early Access a little over two months ago, we've been updating the game at least once a week. We've still got plenty more updates to come, but after next week's update, we'll be changing our release schedule to provide content updates every second week.

This isn't about reducing the amount of content—in fact, it's quite the opposite. Every time we release an update, we need to pause development to build, test, document, and prepare the release. While this process is necessary, it takes time away from creating new content. By shifting to a two-week update schedule, we can minimise downtime and stay 'in the zone' more consistently.

We appreciate your support and promise to keep the updates coming! There’s still so much more to look forward to! ✨

Hoyo Cozy Caravaners!

Something dark stirs in the shadows...


A new Gothic themed Caravan customisation pack is available today! 🦇

Hey Cozy Carvaners! We've got a juicy update today. Let's jump straight in!

[h2]Change your Character Species[/h2]

[h3]The Magic Cave...of Magic![/h3]

After many requests, we proudly present — The Magic Cave...of Magic! Talk to the mysterious ghost, and let it change you into the animal of your choice... for a price.




[h3]New Animals![/h3]
But maybe you're looking for an excuse to check out the Magic Cave...of Magic? How about two new animals to choose from? If you've felt a kinship with our favourite Guild Rep Arthur, now you can be a seal as well!
Or maybe Bob is more to your taste? Now you too can be an Opossum or an Australian Ringtail Possum!




[h2]Caravan Customisation[/h2]

And we've also introduced new ways to customise your caravan — inside and out! Now, not only can you change the internal colour scheme, you can change the adornments on the exterior with new packs.



We've got three packs available today, with more on the way! Plus, we've got a bunch of new colour-schemes to put on your caravan. All of these can be changed at will with the new Customisation screen.



[h3]Note about Existing Caravan Customisation[/h3]
Because we've updated how the customisation system works, your previously applied colours will default back to normal, and any colours you've already purchased will be automatically refunded. Now, you can purchase the caravan customisation upgrade from the guild, and you'll receive a colour pack with the purchase.

[h2]Roadmap[/h2]

Once again, we've asked Bubba if he can give us a lil update on the roadmap. Where are we at now, Bubba?



[h2]General updates[/h2]
We've also added some new options to help make your experience playing Cozy Caravan more comfortable.

[h3]New Options[/h3]

• New 'Soft Camera Movement' option in the controls menu for people who have discomfort with the default camera.
  
• A 'Reduce Wet Sounds' option in the audio menu for people who dislike the sloppy sounds during cooking.
  

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• The character now draws a 'shadow' on the screen when obscured to help keep track of your position.
  
• Updates to dialogue for Stew quest to improve clarity.
  
• Updated white camera flash to a black shutter. Rejoice, photo-sensitive folks!
  
• For anyone missing their old Hoyo~, this update has reduced the number of variants, and made the original sound more likely to play than any other.
  
• Fixed an issue where hitchhikers waiting to be picked up could be talked to during a market, causing chaos.
  

Thanks for all of your feedback and support! If you haven't already, please join our Discord, we'd love you to join our community and share your character pics, ideas, and feedback!

Hey Cozy Caravaners! We've put together a new outfit collection today, available in the Guild Store! Are you a Pastel-Appreciator? We've got you covered with this Pastel Outfit Pack!



That's not all! If you're finding your waving-arm is getting a bit tired, don't worry! With this update, you can now wave to groups of people in front of you all at once. You don't need to do anything different, just give a little wave like usual, and watch the happiness explode!

That's all for today. Don't everybody overwhelm Arthur all at once!

• Fix occasional lockup while talking to hitch hikers, 100% guaranteed this time.*
  
• Fix saving while carrying a hitch hiker not restoring hitch hiker on load.
  
• Crafting apple cider fixed.
  

* if it turned to night while a hitch hiker was onscreen, the hitchiker would become a zombie hitchhiker (Instead of going off to bed). They looked normal but as soon as you spoke to them, they would lockup the game.
