[p]Hello and Happy Lunar New Year![/p][p][/p][p]Cozy Beach was invited to take part in the Lunar New Year festival this year, and to celebrate we've updated the demo to be available in Chinese (Simplified)! We are very happy to finally bring localization to the game and plan to follow up with more languages.[/p][p][/p][p]Is there a language you want Cozy Beach translated into? Let us know in the comments![/p][p][/p][p]A couple other small changes:[/p][p]-We added bouncy umbrellas - you can jump on them like trampolines[/p][p]-We also added in some beach balls to kick around, just for fun[/p][p]-Tool swapping is active! You can hold a fishing rod, a shovel or nothing. Shovel functionality coming soon![/p][p]-Cute little hermit crab added, functionality coming soon, feel free to chill with him in the meantime[/p][p]-We updated our character rig on the backend to work more smoothly with clothing and animations, so you may see some cute new animations in the game[/p][p]-Some emotes have been temporarily disabled as not all of them work with the new models yet. We're working to get all emotes back in ASAP and we should have them back for the next update. Thank you for your patience![/p][p][/p][p]If you'd like to support the development of Cozy Beach, please wishlist the game, play the demo and leave a review! It's super helpful for us and we always want to know what our players think :)[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks so much for checking out the game![/p]

[p]Hey everyone, happy new year![/p][p]We are hyped to go into 2026 with Cozy Beach - it's been really fun to develop and hearing community feedback has been awesome.

It's a super exciting milestone for us, so thank you for your support for Cozy Beach, we appreciate it so much![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We also just updated the Cozy Beach demo-[/p][p][/p][p]New Things[/p][p]-Fast swimming![/p][p]-You can now cast a line and fish if you're high up on a cliff or in a tree, cause it's fun[/p][p]-New UI for interacting with NPCs & objects. You can now identify what/who you can interact with as you approach, with a button indicator that changes for different controllers and mapping.[/p][p]-Advanced NPC dialog - we brought Capy's dialog system to Razzy & Snarky so you can chat with them a bit too, instead of just getting a quick line.[/p][p]-You can no longer cast a line until you're close enough to the water[/p][p]-Improved the progress bar for reeling so it is easier to understand[/p][p]-Added scrolling for the multiplayer chat window[/p][p][/p][p]Bug Fixes[/p][p]-Capy Quest bugs fixed.
