Hi Tinkerers!

We are humbled and amazed at how engaged you are in us going 1.0, a big thank you for that!

We've had a few snags during the launch, but we are working super hard to fix any issues. Please continue to give us your feedback, it's so valuable to us!

In 1.0.2, we are adressing some of the most frequent feedback points, for example the bug in the Forest Volcano (yay, dragon is back!) and UI issues.

Here's the full list:

Tinkertown 1.0.2

• Fixed issues with the Forest Volcano map
  
• Fixed some UI issues on the title screen

Your Tinkertown team

Tinkertown v. 1.0.1

• Fixed some issues with tracking quests
  
• Fixed some issues with audio devices & microphones in multiplayer
  
• Added an option dialogue at the game's initial launch, allowing you to decide whether you want to share anonymous user data, or not
  

Dear Tinkerers,

We have received multiple reports regarding issues with microphone functions within Tinkertown. Our team is aware of those and we are currently working on a solution. We apologize for any inconvenience caused!

Along with this update, we will also implement an options dialogue at the game's initial launch, allowing you to decide whether you want to share anonymous user data, or not. Until the patch is released, you can disable this here: Settings > Game > Share User Data.

Allowing the game to anonymously share gameplay data and error reports helps us to improve the gameplay experience further. You can read more about how and what data Unity collects here: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy


Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope that you continue to have a great time in Tinkertown!

UPDATE: Patch 1.0.1 is now live and addresses the issues mentioned above. Thank you for your understanding.

Happy release day, dear Tinkerers!

Grab your backpacks; the day has finally come! After more than three years of development and Early Access, we are happy to announce that Tinkertown 1.0 is finally out! ːsteamhappyː

You also have a journal to help you with your journey through the world. Here you can find what monsters, areas, and recipes you have discovered and which ones you are missing.

And to make the world feel even more alive, we have given all NPCs a “Love-o-Meter,” which fills when you follow their questline and build their dream homes. If you fill their meters - maybe they’ll even reward you!?

Tinkertown is a heartfelt journey, that blends nostalgic charm with a sense of adventure, as well as our town spirit of excitement, discovery, and creativity. Of course, all of you know that the thing our town prides itself on the most and what truly makes it great is its Tinkerers – all of you!
