The major Winter Update is now live!

Hi Scouts! We're pleased to release our third major update to Cozy Grove! Here's a list of the highlights for the "Winter Update":

• The Winter Festival begins December 23rd and runs for 6 whole weeks. It includes: new snowfolk characters you can craft and speak to, special gifts you can make for some of your island friends, and lots of fun with snow!

• Most collection, crafting and storage UIs now have filters, to help you quickly find the item you’re looking for.

• When you buy a hint from Charlotte, you can now choose which quest to buy it for.

• The new Wishing Well now appears on fully-expanded islands. It allows you to buy the rarer recipes you might still be missing, if you can rustle up enough coin...

• New background music track.

• There is now one more tent upgrade (and 5th interior room) that can be purchased via Flamey.

• New "complete the pattern" minigame that spawns randomly in the world.

• Pandam now sells greens and roasted roots, in addition to his usual things.

• Clothing closet default size increased by 30. You can buy more space for it, too.

• Improvements to photography quests and hints to make them less confusing / difficult.

• Perishable items left on the ground inside your tent will no longer disappear over time.

• Bears will generally avoid wandering on top of hidden objects.

• Darla and Ms. Carouse will not request clothing that's awarded by a quest and thus not immediately obtainable.

• Blue clams once again give essence when you hit them with enough skips.

• When bears step in front of major landmarks (thus hiding them), the hidden landmarks will be slightly less transparent / more visible.

• Fixed issue that was causing Darla to give out more than the expected numbers of clothing items like tichels.

• Various performance improvements/optimizations.

• Various other bugfixes and minor improvements.

We have already started work on our Spring update. We'll share more details next year!
