Small game update + Steam Awards

Virtual Cottage · published 27 Nov 2020, 20:43 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello hello everyone!

With this announcement we bring you an other game update with some smaller changes and we also want to make a request to you all!

Changes to the game:
- The neighbor's cat is back again! (by popular demand ːsteamhappyː )
- Play and Pause buttons for music were switched
- Once paused, there now is an overlay for better visual feedback
- Wintertime! The light should now closer reflect the daylight in the northern hemisphere. There will be a winter update, adjusting this even more, but this is what we could do in the couple of evening hours.

Regarding the request: Steam Awards!
Some of you let us know that they have nominated Virtual Cottage for the Steam Awards. First we were shocked but then super happy about these lovely messages. If you haven't done so already and want to support us, you can do so at the top of this announcement or follow the instructions below:

Visit the Virtual Cottage Store Page and click the "NOMINATE THIS GAME FOR AN AWARD" Button.

Following this, you will now be able to select a category for the nomination. The "Sit Back and Relax" Award is at the bottom of the list. Just click on it (for some reason you have to click on the right side of the button) and the selected category will turn yellow.

Save your selection and DONE, hooray! Thanks to everyone for the support!
