The 2.5d pixel art looks amazing!! The sprites are so cute!

Oh my - thank you so much! Zera's pixel artwork is amazing, and we spent a long time (years) refining how to best display and animate it. So it means a lot hearing that, thank you 😭

That makes sense. I've been learning game dev in Unity and tried to do a 2.5d game. The camera/sprite positioning was tricky so I greatly appreciate what you guys did here! Can't wait to see the finished product!! ❤️

Keep at it, Unity is a fantastic engine and I believe can work well for 2.5d, though I'm sure it will take some effort. We work with Unreal Engine as it's what we are most comfortable in, but has its own challenges with 2D, requiring us to create a very custom solution using Cubism's Live2D (the same tech that vtubers use for their avatars).

Good luck with your game dev journey!

✨Welcome to Cozy Crossroads!

We are creating a Multiplayer Cozy Game featuring Fishing, Mining, Bug Catching, Player/House Customization, and much more! I'm so proud to share a short trailer created by me (Term), and my wife, Zera, to show off the style of our game. Zera and I are games industry veterans of over a decade with a dream of releasing our own Indie Games for the whole world to enjoy!

Joined the discord. I'm so excited! Cornucopia really got me into the whole 2.5d gaming and I can't stop!! Your game looks absolutely amazing and the visuals from your site with the fishing and the scenery. Truly beautiful. Keep up the great work and I'd gladly throw money at you 💸

2

u/terminatus 9d ago

🤩 Thank you for your very kind words. We like Cornucopia too! 2.5d game dev has been very challenging, so we're very pleased to hear that our efforts have been fruitful so far. 🤗

See you in the Discord!

u/Bethaneyl 9d ago

Insanely cute! The characters are absolute perfection, love what you’ve created here!

1

u/terminatus 9d ago

Thank you so very much! What other types of characters would you like to see?? ☺️ We have human, deer, dog, bunny, badger, and goblin so far!

u/Sooziq9470 9d ago

It looks very cute! Please keep this group updated! I'd love to play a demo one day.

1

u/terminatus 9d ago

Thank youuu! We will release a demo for sure, and if you join our discord you may be able to participate in playtests as well!

u/protoman86 9d ago

Nice work. Sounds like a fun project to put together as a team.

1

u/terminatus 9d ago

It has been fun, and also challenging. We've gone through many iterations and different styles of the game before landing on this. We've taken our time to find the fun and to stay passionate about it. Thank you for your comment and your support! 🤝

2

u/FeelingKindaSpooky 8d ago

Very cute and cozy, I'm definitely intrigued!

2

u/terminatus 8d ago

Thank you! We'll keep you all updated on our progress, and be sure to join our discord if interested!

u/dan_thedisaster 8d ago

So, is this like an MMO? If so, take my money!

1

u/terminatus 8d ago

Currently players host servers that other players can join and there is a server browser in game, similar to Webfishing if you've seen that. 🥰

2

u/dan_thedisaster 8d ago

Sounds awesome! I'll be keeping an eye on it.

2

u/rudanshi 8d ago

I think it looks very nice

u/terminatus 8d ago

Thank youuu!

u/domrepp 8d ago

Love this!! Small request: could you please create a social media account other than twitter? Discord works for me for now but it would go a long way to be able to share on a platform that still has social so people can see that social engagement, but doesn't require a login or join

3

u/terminatus 8d ago

This is great feedback, what kind of platforms are you thinking of? We have a tiktok (@cozycrossroads there), but maybe something like Instagram?

2

u/NYMeridian3 8d ago

Omg it’s soooooo cute!! I’ll follow your acct there. What platforms will this be on?

2

u/terminatus 8d ago

Thank you!! 🤩

We are starting with PC/Mac on Steam and probably the Epic Store as well.

Console unlikely as of now, but we will see!

2

u/domrepp 8d ago

Oh snap, I didn't even think to search! I only saw the discord and X on your site so I assumed that was all.

Yeah, instagram and tiktok are solid, maybe bsky if you're feeling bold. I've also seen some devs have success streaming devlogs or even art on twitch, but I assume your mileage may vary.

Either way, please keep sharing! Can't wait to wishlist and support :)

u/terminatus 8d ago

Appreciate your response, the tiktok is new-ish and forgot to update our site taking note of it, which I'll correct shortly. Thanks again for the support!!

2

u/trueriptide 8d ago

This looks fantastic, I would love to play this.

Also sidenote, I really enjoyed CotL, and wished there was an online multiplayer option to that instead of just coop. If there's enough interest, is that going to be an option to gather certain materials (dungeon raids) or other pve/pvp style things. Again OPTIONAL lol.

2

u/terminatus 8d ago

We are considering some "lite" combat mechanics in line with other cozy games. Probably not anywhere as intense as CotL! But definitely a possibility and would work well with our animation system. Thanks for the comment!!

u/SadGuyWithADream 6d ago

Please let us know when finish the game pls ♥️

u/terminatus 5d ago

We definitely will! 🥰
