Announcing Cozy Quest - A Social MMO Where you can be a Quest Giver 🌟, Business Owner 💸, Adventurer and more!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to finally share what I've been working on - a cozy MMO that turns the traditional MMO formula on its head. In Cozy Quest, every player can become a quest giver, run their own business, and help shape the world through their crafting and creativity.

The Vision 🎯

Imagine walking into a tavern and picking up a quest, only to discover it was carefully crafted by another player. Or running your own apothecary shop, creating unique potion recipes that adventurers seek out from across the realm. That's the world of Cozy Quest - where every trade skill is a journey worth taking, and every player can leave their mark on the world.

Core Features 🛠️

• Player-Created Quests: Once you master a trade skill, you can design and publish your own quest chains
• Deep Crafting System: Every item tells a story of its creator and the resources used to make it
• Player-Owned Businesses: Run your own tavern, shop, or crafting hall
• Private Islands: Own your slice of the world, complete with customizable dungeons
• Dynamic Weather & Seasons: A living world that affects gameplay and resource gathering
