- Your Music in Virtual Cottage 2 - 18 October 2024
Hello 😄, Are you a Lo-Fi music producer and want to have your songs in Virtual Cottage 2? Link to your music in the comments or send it to [email protected] and we'll take a listen. 🎶 While everyone will be able to add their own songs in Virtual Cottage 2, we also want to support other artists again and give them the spotlight they deserve. To answer the question everyone wants to know: when will Virtual Cottage 2 be released? Next year. We ourselves don't know when yet precisely. There is no time pressure from our side, so we want to be 200% satisfied with what we made before we show it to the world. Oh and before we forget: please wishlist if you haven't already :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2943180/Virtual_Cottage_2
- A small update (bugfixes) - 10 June 2024
This small update addresses the following: Cicada, Birds, and Thunderstorm sound slider settings are now saved properly. All sounds can now be combined, with the exception of different weather types. Fixed a bug where the cottage graphic would get stuck around midnight, preventing it from updating with the clock.
- Virtual Cottage 2, Character Customization & New Ambient sounds - 7 June 2024
Dear friends, We have big news to share with you today: Virtual Cottage 2!!! But before that, here's also an update for Virtual Cottage. This update includes character customization, new ambient sounds, and the ability to create tasks using Simplified Chinese glyphs. Update features 👤 Character Customization: Change your skin tone Change your hair color 🎶 New Ambient Sounds: Cicadas 🦗 Chirping birds 🐦 Rain with distant thunder ⛈️ Simplified Chinese: Tasks can now be created in Simplified Chinese Virtual Cottage 2 Since the release of Virtual Cottage all these years ago, you, our precious community, have provided us with a ton of feedback. Some of it was implemented, but a lot was left out. This is because of two reasons: Virtual Cottage was never intended to be a big game but rather an interactive blocker for your screen to help you focus on your work. The code is extremely simple a…
- New Music DLC, New Features, Yay! - 31 October 2023
Good day everyone! After a long period of silence, it's good to be able to present an update again! We are pleased to announce that we have worked with DREEME (of which you may already know some tracks 😉 ) to produce an exclusive album for Virtual Cottage! The DLC includes 10 brand-new tracks that should make every study session easier. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2661170/Virtual_Cottage__Dreeme_Collaboration_Music But besides the DLC, there's more! We have also included these features / quality-of-life improvements: Revised To-Do List: This version of the To-Do List is a bit easier to use and now also saves the tasks after Virtual Cottage has been closed. It was about time! 🙂 The last task entered in the To-Do Pop-Up is also saved for the next session. New Options Menu: Time and pet are now in a drop-down options menu. Minor UI changes The Halloween decor is back! Oh, one more…

- Seasonal Decoration & Labor of Love Steam Award - 22 November 2022
Hi! Yes, it is that time of the year when we bring out the warm blankets and enjoy biscuits of all sorts and a hot beverage. We've decorated the cottage accordingly and wish you all the best for the holiday season. On another note: the Steam Awards are happening again this year, and we kindly ask you to consider nominating Virtual Cottage for the "Labor of Love" category. It would mean a lot to us! :) Take care of yourselves and stay safe!
- Halloween & Bugfixes - 18 October 2022
Hey everyone, with this update, we decorated the Cottage just in time for the spoooooookkky season! Also, some bugs were fixed: - Songs should not loop anymore - Audio volume should now be saved - Arrow keys no longer toggle the sound sliders when pressed during the start pop-up or pause screen - When all songs are turned off and back on again, the shuffle button triggers a song from the playlist. Before un-toggling all music resulted in total silence We know the music is still audible when the volume marker is moved to the left. We'll tackle this next. Also a huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased the Music DLC! We hope you like it! Cheers, DU&!
- 2nd Anniversary Update! - 7 October 2022
Hi! Over the past two years (oh my, time is flying!) we have received hundreds of messages, about why Virtual Cottage can not be showcased in the profiles, or why it would not count in the global achievement and game collector count. For that to happen, games need to generate an undisclosed amount in sales (which is hard if your game is free 😉 ) We stand by our statement that Virtual Cottage will always remain free so we decided to make a paid DLC instead. But not just any DLC. A lot of you wish for more music. So we're giving you 24 new, never-heard-before tracks that were exclusively produced for Virtual Cottage by LØNÆR! This doubles the number of songs that are currently in the game! The majority of the proceeds from this DLC will go to LØNÆR and with enough sales, not only will you support a great artist, but you will also finally be able to showcase Virtual Cottage in your profil…

- A little Christmas Update - 21 December 2021
Hello everybody, we want to squeeze in a tiny update with some quality of live changes before the holiday season kicks in. - Support for Japanese and Korean glyphs The font now supports input in these two languages. If you know about a font that contains even more glyphs, please let us know ;) - Sound sliders Changing the volume of a deactivated sound will now automatically activate the sound. This should help solve some confusion about the states of the "white noise" for newer users - A new music track Rizzugoi - i'm in love with a ghost - Holiday decoration We fetched that one box from the basement with the holiday decoration. This will probably be around until mid January. There's also a small hidden message for you. We all wish you a great holiday season and hope that you will get the best out of it, given the difficult circumstances. Stay safe! :) Cheers, DU&I

- Weather, savegame and to-do list - 12 March 2021
Hey Cottage Dwellers! We were really busy with our other projects and there was no real time to work on the cottage. But finally it's time to bring a new update which introduces new features, quality of life improvements and some fixes. As you can see, the little construction area in the Cottage is now gone. Instead there is a small fire place now. And that brings us to the features :) Features: - Fireplace: Can be toggled to hear the fireplace We know winter is over for the northern hemisphere, but maybe you'll enjoy it on some cold mornings or nights. As for the southern hemisphere, you'll now be able to toggle snow and the fireplace, when it get's cold over there :) - More weather types: Snow and wind were added so now you can toggle between 3 different weather sounds. Also the tec for adding more weather is now in place. (sound effects were provided by the wonderful Damien Combe fro…
