Hey Bluesky! 👋

Critter Cove is a 🌴 tropical life sim 🌴 game inspired by games like Animal Crossing, Portia and Zelda. We're a small, family-based dev team making games we love.

We're available now on Steam and GOG, and launching on consoles next year.

Hello everyone! There's a new update on Steam, lots of bug fixes & the long awaited beach house is finally available for your townies to move in to! Also the townie cap is now raised to 17! Hope you all enjoy. 💙

Beautiful art! I'll see what we can do. Generally, 3D animation weighting is the biggest hurdle & why there isn't a whole lot of skirts & dresses in the game, but I'll do some tests & see how a loincloth will play with our animations. Thanks for the suggestion!

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 14

Thank you! I'll let our designer know he needs to sprinkle in more lore notes here & there! 💙

Now the Summer Sale is over, and the update is out, we again look towards the horizon!

We don’t know everything about the long-ago ruins that litter the world of Critter Cove...

But we do know this:

Carnivals are universally fun, and there’s more than one awaiting discovery and even repair in our Enchanted Islands update…

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 10

The town bakery is now available to be repaired!

And unlike the real world, there’s actually a reasonable chance you and the town's tourists will be able to eat them without having to fight a seagull.

Favorite baked goods, bsky?

Ok bsky...

We haven’t wanted to spoil this while the update was new, but... has anyone found any TREASURE yet?

There’s a ton of new treasures around the islands in our new update -- so many that we're gonna need a bigger.... museum!

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 6

As we expand Critter Cove in Early Access, we want to explore some of the backstories of the island's notable residents.

In the first of Copperbottom's personal quests, if he chases you into the tavern and starts telling jokes, you KNOW he wants you to do something for him...

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 5

All this summer heat making you feel a little... lazy?

The only reasonable solution? Craft a plunger gun in Critter Cove!

It can suck up objects nearby straight into your pockets, use it to save time, grab hard to reach items, or slay at carnival games...

New Update = New Islands…🏝️

New Islands = New Ocean… 🌊

New Ocean = ….New craftable wetsuit, of course! 🤿

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 3

Sure we all THINK about going to the gym on holiday...

But did you know that some people actually DO IT?

For those dedicated tourists, the new Critter Cove Gym can now be rebuilt, inviting critters far and wide to pump iron while the rest of us relax on the beach.

Critter Cove @crittercove.bsky.social · Jul 2

Fancy luxuriating in an art nouveau-themed bedroom, or prefer something a little more down to earth?

Luckily both options are available in our new sets!

Can't pick? Don’t worry -- you can just grab the new bath set instead and have a relaxing soak. Interior design is EXHAUSTING

The enchanted islands might be a bit wilder than Critter Cove proper, but that doesn't mean folks don't live there... 🛖

Along with new critters, we’ve also got a line-up of farmers who work the land and trade goods at the new farmer's market!

Here’s a helpful guide to some of the many new things to explore in our latest update.

Warning: there’s a lot! 💕

Some content is available straight away while other bits unlock as you play, so if you’ve been waiting for the right time to jump in, it's now!
