Demo Out Now!

Hey Chefs!

I'm excited to announce that the demo for Snacktorio is finally here and you can take a bite out of it RIGHT NOW on Steam! Take on 2 different beasts and 4 different courses on your journey to become a Witchelin Star chef

If you find any flies in your food or maybe have some compliments for the chef, please do let us know using the community forums (there's a seperate forum for bug reports)

If you wanna chat with other players or show off your chaotic factory layouts be sure to drop by the TNgineers Discord as there's now a few new special Snacktorio channels:

It's been a long time in and out of development the poor thing, but happy to finally have it all finished up, I hope you enjoy!

Bon Appétit!

TNgineers News - OCT2023

Hi friends!

A month passed by since our last newsletter, here’s what’s been going on!

[hr][/hr]
FROG CON

We joined the Frog Con, an online convention for frog lovers that mixes educational panels with creative works, in the middle of the month. Mudborne was one of the froggy games and got played during the convention!

For the occasion, we shared more about the game on our socials, as well as some redesign work-in-progress sneak peeks!

APICO Checklist Tracker

A fellow beekeeper created a checklist tracker & guide spreadsheet for APICO! It’s truly an amazing resource, and includes the Ocean Update (3.0) new content.



Thank you so much DeluxeGremlin for this!

[hr][/hr]
APICO Community Spotlight

Fellow beekeeper Hazel shared this screenshot of her base in our community discord! Between the rainbow hive garden and the Mothense concert for the NPCs, it’s a dream place to bee. If you want to share you’re own cute pics you should come join us!



In other APICO news, the lovely Chelsea, that you may know as myPotatoGames on Twitter, wrote a very wholesome review of our beekeeping sim! It’s always heartwarming to hear such nice feedback
[hr][/hr]
Beemoji Mashup!

Last month, our discord bot beebot started sharing a beemoji mashup everyday, and that gave us an idea: what if you could make your own mashup, and beebot could send it to the server?



You can now submit your mashup by filling this form, and it’ll get added to the bot’s daily posts! :D

[hr][/hr]

That’s it for this month’s recap! Thanks for sticking with us and keeping these hives buzzing, it’s been a quiet month but we have some exciting stuff coming next time!

Take care!
Manon, Ell and Jamie

TNgineers News - SEP2023

Hi friends!

September is already gone and oh boy, what a month! APICO’s second major update came out - “What Lies Beeneath” :D

[hr][/hr]
APICO 3.0 Makes A Splash!

What Lies Beeneath launched on September 26 on PC! Beekeepers can now explore the ocean, restore coral reefs, clean the seabed, fish… and, of course, discover all the new bees (including underwater ones!!). You can check out the patch notes here to see all the new stuff added.

If you’re a console player, no worries! The update will eventually come to you, and we’ll make sure to let you all know when it happens
[hr][/hr]
APICO Steam Sale

To celebrate the new update, APICO and its amazing soundtracks (I’m not the one who composed it so I can say it) are currently on sale on Steam!

The game is 45% off, and the soundtracks are each 50% off until October 10th ✨

[hr][/hr]
Bee Butts?!

We experimented a bit with the discord server this month: after a short career in sending cute bee pics, beebot switched to beemojis creation. Some are cuter than others, but it’s a little surprise everyday!

We’ve also been very happy to see the players enjoy the update and sharing tips (and bugs) in the server, feel free to stop by!
[hr][/hr]
What’s Next?

In October, we’ll join Frog Con, a lovely online convention for frog lovers that raises funds for amphibian conservation. In the middle or froggy cams, the artist alley and educational streams, Mudborne will take part to the con as a froggy game, October 13-23

Be sure to check it out, along with the other amazing froggy games we’ll be alongside!

[hr][/hr]

And that’s a wrap for September! We wish you all a good spooky month!

Take care,
Manon, Ell & Jamie

TNgineers News - AUG2023

Hey friends!

August came and went, my first month technically doing gamedev full-time! Both exciting and terrifying :'D

[hr][/hr]



APICO 3.0 Coming Soon

Unless you’ve been living in a pineapple under the sea, you’ve probably seen that the APICO 3.0 update, aka, What Lies Beeneath has been announced as coming soon! Bee sure to check out the new trailer!

If you’re a content creator or streamer interested in trying out the new content you can also fill in our creator preview form.

MibyleDraws Joins The Gang

Pleased to say that the lovely Manon (also known as MibyleDraws) will be joining us as our PR & CM!

If you've been enjoying anything posted on socials this last month (like all the new cute tiktoks), then you have Manon to thank for it!

[hr][/hr]



G.Round Playtesting
G.Round is a playtesting platform where you can get your hands on a bunch of different indie games and feedback directly to the developers!

Currently you can playtest both Mudborne and Rift Breach, and give us feedback as well as chat with other players in the G.Round discord!

[hr][/hr]



Socials Consolidation

Now that we’ve got 4 different games being juggled about, it’s impossible to manage 6 different accounts on each platform (we know, we’ve tried)

We’ve now combined all games into a single TNgineers account on each platform, so be sure to follow to not miss anything! (Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, Steam)

[hr][/hr]

So that’s a wrap on August, bee safe and we’ll see you next month!

Love,
Ell & Jamie & Manon
