- Mazey Village ~ Our Early Access Roadmap 🗺️ - 19 August 2026
Mazey Village ~ Roadmap Patch NotesAs promised, we are sharing a development roadmap of what you can expect from us during Early Access to our 1.0 release. Each milestone will be accompanied by a community post with plenty of explanations and videos of what's new. We won't be patching these changes individually, since preparing and releasing a patch takes a lot of time and testing, especially when we're adding new features. Instead, we'll focus that time on getting the actual content and improvements ready as quickly as possible. The patch notes for today:Improvements & New Features ✨Levels now appear faded on the map once you've completed them.Added a counter to the shop showing how many copies of a decoration item you already own.Renamed "Fences" and "Wall Decoration" to "Barriers" and "Wall Ornaments", along with updated translations.Added support for milestone edge cases when using…

- Mazey Village Is Steam Deck Ready! 🎮 - 4 August 2026
Mazey Village is Steam Deck Ready!From the very beginning, we wanted Mazey Village to feel just as cozy curled up on the couch as it does behind a desk. While we're focusing on the PC Early Access launch first, we'd love to bring Mazey Village to consoles in the future. A Nintendo Switch version is something we'd like to explore for the full 1.0 release, but for now our priority is making the PC version the best it can be. That being said...........Full Controller Support 🎮 Mazey Village was designed with controllers in mind, so everything works naturally on Steam Deck.Controls aren't currently rebindable in-game, but we've carefully designed the layout to keep everything comfortable, intuitive, and easy to use.Performance 🔋We've tried to optimize our game as best as possible to make sure it runs smoothly on Steam Deck.Depending on your preferred balance between visuals and battery li…
- Localization Update: Languages Supported at Launch - 3 August 2026
Localization Update 💬Mazey Village is going to be available in multiple languages, and I'd like to give everyone an update on what you can expect! At launch, Mazey Village will support the following languages:EnglishDutchSimplified ChineseTraditional ChineseFrenchGermanItalianJapaneseKoreanPortuguese (Brazil)Portuguese (Portugal)RussianSpanish (Spain)Spanish (Latin America)To make all of these supported languages possible, I created an automated translation workflow and then spent a lot of time reviewing and improving the results manually. I tried my best to check every piece of text, but with the large amount of dialogue in the game, you may still come across the occasional mistake or sometimes "literal" translation. While we tried to polish every language, it's simply impossible for a two-person indie team to catch everything before launch. We felt it was better to make the game acce…

- Big Development Update: New Features & Early Access This Summer - 30 April 2026
Hey cozy villagers! It’s been a while, but we’re still here, working every day to bring the best experience possible. This post covers some of the latest updates, what we’ve been building over the past few months, and a look at what’s coming next. Over this time, we’ve made some significant changes to better align the game with what we truly want it to be: a cozy exploration experience, focused on discovery, interaction, and relaxing gameplay moments. 🧭 Design ShiftOne of the biggest changes is moving away from the “being stuck in puzzle spaces” design. The puzzle elements aren’t gone completely, but they’ve been reworked into something more natural. Using levers and simple environmental interactions rather than relying only on shifting the maze. Being stuck in puzzles often got in the way of a smooth, cozy exploration experience, and we want players to feel free to explore and enjoy t…
