Hello there, Cozy Keepers!
The latest update has just arrived, introducing features players have been asking for for a while now... so let’s get straight to the details!
🛒Customer Behavior Tweaks
Increased customer patience, as things can get overwhelming the bigger your store gets.
Improved how customers decide what to buy (still needs more balancing, but we're getting there).
Customers are now more forgiving when you don’t have everything they want in stock.
Customers should now ask less about certain products if you stop selling them for a few days.
💬Haggling Customers
What’s a game about selling products without customers trying to get a better deal?
Every now and then, customers will try to haggle before paying. They’ll wait by the Management Table, and you can interact with them to start a mini-game. If you hit the targets, you'll increase the selling price of the product. If you miss a target, the customer gets a discount instead.
Customers won't get mad if you choose not to haggle, it's entirely up to you.
Early on, when customers are only spending a few coins, haggling might not make a big difference to your profits.
By default, you’ll need to hit 3 targets in a row to earn a 15% bonus. At that point, you can stop and take your win or keep going for 2 more targets to increase the bonus to 25%.

📜Final Note
In the Roadmap, I mentioned this update would include new decorations, a new NPC, etc. These features will arrive in the coming weeks. I believe it's better to release smaller updates focused on specific systems or areas every few weeks, rather than one large update every month with a mix of unrelated content. I’ll do my best to stay organized and release updates faster.
Once again, thank you so much for your support!❤️
