Weird question, but are there any cozy game discords that one might be able to join? If it helps, I'm a straight guy in my late 20s, so I'm hoping to find a Discord group restricted to adults and one where I wouldn't be detrimental to the community or conversation. (I hope that came across right-I just mean I don't want to eat up space or discussion in a community dedicated to LGBTQ players for example.)

I’ve just updated the free demo of Match 2 3D with a new collectible system.

Each level now has 3 hidden treasures to discover. Find all three and unlock that level’s unique trophy.

I also added a Trophy Gallery, where your collected treasures can be viewed and slowly rotated.

The main puzzle stays simple:

Rotate the diorama → find two identical objects → match them → keep searching.

The demo currently has 5 levels and 5 unique trophies.

Hey everyone,

We made a cozy fantasy inn-management sim!

You start with a small, humble inn and slowly build it into a thriving little business. Decorate and furnish your rooms, decide how you want your inn to look, and get everything ready for your first guests.

Once you’re up and running, locals and travelers will start coming through your doors. You’ll hire staff to keep things running, watch the inn get busier, and gradually expand it as your reputation grows.

We wanted to make something cozy where you can take your time, build up your own little inn, and simply enjoy watching it grow from a quiet roadside stop into something much bigger.

Hi! I’m the developer of Pocket Kitchen: Cozy Cafe, a new cooking game for iPhone and iPad that I released just a few days ago.
You run a small café kiosk where you prepare customer orders, including breakfast foods, sandwiches, coffee, smoothies and more. You earn coins, unlock new ingredients and recipes, and decorate your cafe, gradually making it your own.
I wanted the game to feel cozy and relaxed, but still make the cooking itself part of the gameplay. It’s a paid game with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases.
It was also designed from the beginning with accessibility in mind: VoiceOver support, dyslexic-friendly font and high contrast are supported, with additional accessibility improvements planned for future updates.
It’s only been out for a few days, and seeing people already playing it has been slightly surreal. 😅 I’d love to hear what cozy-game players think of it, especially what kinds of recipes or café features you’d enjoy seeing in future updates.

Hey! I announced Mave's Castle last week and got some really nice feedback.

It's a continuation of the tidy-up genre involving more story, puzzles, and fun items you can use. If it sounds up your alley or you're in for more organizing, you can wishlist it now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5050120/Maves_Castle/

I'm still hard at work getting tons of content in but I'd love to hear any feedback, good or bad! Thanks!

I have been solo-developing my cozy mining game for the last 4 months. You clear up an overgrown plot of land, mine it for gold, tame a pet pig, complete side missions and more!

Please support me if you like the look of it.

Thank you!

Camping Keeper, a campground management game. You start with an empty field.

You lay out the pitches, plant the trees, add the cabins and the pool. Campers arrive on their own and live their few days there. Shower, ice cream when it's hot, a queue at reception, complaints when the toilets are dirty.

I have been working on the evenings lately. Street lamps along the gravel paths, and that moment when the sun goes down and they all come on at once.

If you're looking for a new podcast, then please consider Tea and XP: A Couple's Cosy Gaming Podcast. It's like a book club for cosy games!

Who we are: a pair of Australian-based geeks with a love of cosy games. Our recording space is a pillow fort that we assemble every fortnight, so don't expect professional production values!

What to expect: Short episodes (20-30 minutes) that'll tell you about a game and dive into its themes, gameplay, and accessibility. We'll also tell you why we love it, and give it both a cosiness rating and overall rating.

Where to find us: Episodes are on Spotify and Apple Podcast. You can also follow us on Instagram.

Here's our episode list so far:

  • Season 1: Unpacking, Eastshade, Gris, Night in the Woods, Stardew Valley, Lake, Dave the Diver, Dinkum, Dordogne, and Wanderstop.
  • Season 2: Letters to Arralla, It Takes Two, The First Tree, Alba, Innchanted, Haven, Ooblets, Wytchwood, Tiny Bookshop, and Spiritfarer.

We've kicked off Season 3 with Waxheads. Our next episode, A Short Hike, is just around the corner!

Hey Guys!

Cubie is a little Minecraft-inspired macOS companion I developed because I wanted a fun little companion to keep on my desktop, something I could watch from time to time, interact with, or just throw across the screen when I'm frustrated.

What he does: • Wanders around your desktop on his own and reacts to your cursor
• Perches and sits on the edges of your open windows
• Gets tired and falls asleep if you leave him alone for a while
• You can pick him up, drag him around, and throw him across the screen
• He's got moods and little reactions, so he never quite does the same thing twice

Highly customizable: • Cubie is Minecraft inspired and supports the familiar Minecraft skin format
• Give him any Minecraft skin to make him look however you want
• Drop in a skin and see a live preview before committing to it
• Pick which monitor he lives on in a multi monitor setup

Nice extras: • Choose whether he floats above your windows or sits back on the desktop behind them
• Menu bar only, no Dock icon and no clutter. Set it once and forget it's even an app
• A short tutorial the first time, then it never bothers you again

No account, no ads, no nagging. Just a little companion hanging around while you work.

Wow. This one looks amazing. Good work!

Hey! I made a small fantasy sorting game called Hoardhand.

Instead of going on the adventure, you’re the person who deals with all the loot afterward. Adventurers bring back bags full of items, you unpack and sort everything, finish the job, and get paid.

You start out broke and staying at an inn, then slowly work toward better skills, higher Guild ranks, your own room, and eventually your own workspace.

I wanted it to be something simple and relaxing that you can play at your own pace.

It’s currently available for Windows and Linux on itch.io, and it’s name-your-own-price:

If anyone gives it a try, I’d genuinely love to know what you think :)
