Been replaying the best rune factory game 💖

It’s called rune factory 4 special it’s also on promo right now on ps!! that’s why I bought it again. It’s exactly like story of seasons / harvest moon you manage a farm and you also build relationships with the townspeople but you can also get married!! Time passes like in stardew valley, there’s just more focus here on dungeons and explorations since you have a real story that will plays out at different days during the year, and you’ll have to do certain things to progress through it. It’s not difficult and I’m mostly playing on easy because that’s not the most interesting part imo, there’s just so many dialogues to read you barely see any repeat and there’s so many festivals and events that it’s always nice to talk to everyone and see how they are doing!

Be warned though that you can’t be gay without mods so you have to play as a man to romance women, and play as a girl to romance men. The cast of characters are really nice, but some chars will only show up way later in the story and it takes a lot of time to build up relationship so you will have to invest quite a lot of time if you want your sweet romance~

If you have any tips about the game I’m all for it!! I never made it past act 2 because the game is really long, but this time I hope I can finish it

Mobile and Xbox Suggestions

I have recently started delving more into this genre. Unfortunately my PC is pretty old and a lot of the steam games don't play due to that. Any good decent games on mobile or Xbox. I am open to anything, I loved Tiny Bookshop. I have been playing one on Xbox Ultimate about a person in a camper. So stuff like that. I also have dream light valley and power wash sim

Grow cotton, make clothes, and romance villagers in Tailor Tales Cottina

Tailor Tales Cottina can be wishlisted on Steam!

Many years ago, I had an idea for a game; a romance game where you could make your own clothes. Sadly, back then I didn't have the experience to really develop such a game, and instead, the project was turned into an otome visual novel.

But now, armed with more experience, talent, and knowledge - I am trying once more! Tailor Tales Cottina is a cute farming sim with a focus on fashion and romance. While you can choose your gender, pronouns and romance any gender, it's still an otome at heart.

Features:

  • Customize your character's looks, gender and pronouns
  • Farm and gather materials to craft them into clothes
  • Dress up your character! Many layering options available
  • Explore the town and surrounding nature
  • Talk to villagers and even romance them

I am a solo dev and create the art, writing and work on programming. Which is why I would appreciate anyone wishlisting my game to support me! While the game is very much in its beginning development, for those that want early access to the game, they can pledge to the Patreon.

Currently, I'm working hard on getting the animation and dress up system working. Getting all those clothes layered and play nice with other clothes is quite a challenge. But being able to go crazy with customization is exactly what Cottina has to offer.

Here's also a nice timelapse video of one of the characters in the key art.

Having fun making random outfits in my dress-up game! (Kittycat Couture)

Hi everyone 🐱 I'm making Kittycat Couture, a dress-up game about styling outfits for cats!

I've been hard at work designing and drawing clothing items for the past year, so it's nice to finally sit down and test what kind of outfits I can make with them. Honestly I'm really proud of the variety of styles already achievable in the game :^) If anyone has any suggestions for what kind of clothes or styles you'd like to see in a fashion game, I'm all ears!

You can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3441310/Kittycat_Couture/

I have a pet duck so I had to get duck side of the moon

And its such a cute game! Playing on the Switch 2. Pictured is my cozy gaming buddy Henry and Clementine, my 2 year old call duck. She hatched in my hand. :)

This game is simple but wicked cute and relaxing. I'm new to the cozy genre and I still love combat heavy games.. however sometimes its nice to just have a pleasant chill experience. Anyone enjoying this one?

Been working on outfit customization for our cozy café game - Everbrew ☕

Hello cozy gamers! 🌿

We’ve been working on expanding the character customization options in Everbrew and trying to make each outfit feel distinct, cozy, and expressive. We love making unique characters in games ourselves, and absolutely wanted that to be part of Everbrew too.

Here’s a small taste of some of the customization options that will be in the game 🧥 The video shows part of the process for creating one of the outfits in Aseprite!

What are some customization features or outfit options you love seeing in cozy games?

P.s. Feel free to check out the steam page and wishlist to stay updated with progress😊 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4036920/Everbrew/

How many unfinished games do you have in your library right now?

I was looking at my library today and realized it’s basically a graveyard of games I bought on sale and never actually finished.

I have this habit where I’ll get completely obsessed with a game for a week, pour a bunch of hours into it, and then just drop it for something else. I used to feel so guilty about it, but now I just think that if I had fun for that week, it was worth it.

It's not even about the money, I don't mind buying an indie game that I might never play, because it still feels like a way to give back to the developers. But if I look back at the past three years, I think I've actually finished maybe three games total lol

What does your finished vs. unfinished situation look like? Do you actually finish most of your games?

Our first indie game launches June 1, and we’re honestly nervous (and looking for advice)

We’re just a two-person indie team working with almost no budget. This project started as a small passion project inspired by historical miniature paintings, mythology, and folk tales. Things have gone better than we ever thought they would but we're not sure if that's enough to keep going.

We’ve seen many successful indie games shared here over the years. So if anyone has any advice, especially about launch week or marketing as a budgetless indie team, we’d truly love to hear it!

And we just want to say thank you to everyone who gave feedback, supported us or shared the game. It honestly helped us get this far.

Anybody need a hot bean drink?

Villainville has gift giving! NPCs like tea, fruit/veg juice, or 'hot bean drink' aka coffee or hot cocoa.

Me, I'm mostly in that last category--actually hot chocolate--though I wouldn't usually say no to herbal tea. What about you?

Also, asking while I can, is there really such a huge divide between tea drinkers and coffee drinkers as these misfit fairy tale folks seem to think?

Wishlist Villainville today!

First trailer for our cozy shop game, Gemmy Gems! 💎

Hey everyone! ✨

My team and I have been working on a cozy shop management game called Gemmy Gems, and I'm so incredibly excited to finally share our trailer with you all!

In this game, you run your own jewelry shop in a fantasy world. The core loop is super relaxing: you explore different biomes to gather raw stones, bring them back to your workshop to carefully mold and polish them, and then sell your sparkling jewels to a cast of mystical customers. You can also collect every gem type to complete your own museum! 🏛️💎

Since it's a cozy game, there's no rush or heavy stress. You can just sit back and play at your own pace. I think the strongest part of the game is our quirky characters. We have a very specific cast ✨

We are joining Steam Next Fest next month and will be launching a playtest very soon. If this looks like your kind of game, adding it to your wishlist would mean the world to us 💖
