We'll be releasing v1.7 in two parts, with the more competition based release tomorrow (rumors are a new game is coming?) 1. Music Integration Posting a Spotify link to a track or album will now display on your blog AND comments! We haven't tested this out with playlists but it would be the perfect next step. Share your taste with the world! https://open.spotify.com/album/2W2kTmbqetc2JDHk3UNIZN?si=Xvd-FU4mT4WzLW5gCnd8RQ 2. Shops Changes - Minimum price for public shops decreased to 400. - Stock for public shops increased from 30 to 40. - Stock for gifting shops increased from 18 to 25. 3. Diamonds Diamonds are the new purchasable currency on Kovaze! More paid features will be coming to the website in the future. Thank you for your continued support. You are the reason Kovaze is growing! 4. Change Usernames Check your settings! This will be a paid feature as we don't want usernames to be changed too often, but we've set it at a fairly cheap price point. - You can change your username for 100 diamonds. - You can change back to a previous username for 50 diamonds. - Once you purchase a username, no other user can take it ever again! - Tagging one of your inactive usernames will tag your current username. - All of your usernames will display on your profile. Thanks all, see you tomorrow for Part 2!

Hi Kovaze 👋 In a previous release, we reworked public shops to remove the competing aspect. We have been pleased with the outcome on all metrics except one: Shop owner satisfaction. We can see that much less players place a bid on Public Shops than Gifting Shops, and we would like to balance this number out. We’d like to hear from you: how can we make opening a public shop more appealing to everyone? Post your ideas in the comments!

We’ve just rolled out Kovaze v1.6, bringing several new features and the conclusion of one of our most popular events to date. **The Mushroom Hunt Comes to an End** The Mushroom Hunt has officially concluded. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped uncover every hidden species across Kovaze. All mushrooms discovered during the event are now available for sale, allowing collectors and new players alike to complete their sets or purchase their favourites from the shop. **Blog Tags** You can now add tags to your blogs to help organize your posts and make them easier to find. Whether you are sharing strategies, designs, or stories, tags make browsing the community smoother and more intuitive. **Profile Visit Counter** A new profile visits counter has been added. You can now see how many times your profile has been viewed, giving you insight into how much attention your page is attracting. **Coming Soon: The Competitions Rework** Work is well underway on the upcoming Competitions Rework. This update is being developed with great attention and care, aiming to deliver a smoother system, improved layouts, and exciting new features that will redefine how some minigames are played. Stay tuned for more details in the next release.
