Meet the Team Behind Tinkerlands!

Hello, Adventurers!

We're excited to let you know that we're diligently crafting Tinkerlands, and a free prologue is on its way to you soon! But as it is swiftly making its way to you, we thought it would be fantastic to introduce ourselves and give you a glimpse into our approach to crafting the magical world of Tinkerlands.

So, who are we?


We go by the name Endless Coffee, and there are just three of us pouring our hearts and souls into making Tinkerlands a reality.

First up, we have Manuel, or as he's better known online, Codemanu. With a background primarily in programming since 2003, Manuel brings a wealth of experience to the table. But don't let that fool you - he's also a wizard when it comes to pixel art and music. Crafting games has been his passion for over two decades, and Tinkerlands is the culmination of that dream.



Next, meet Carlos, also known as Karv. He's the artistic genius behind Tinkerlands, responsible for bringing its vibrant world to life. While he dabbled in programming and game design early on, it was his knack for pixel art that truly set his soul on fire. With a portfolio boasting titles like Hoppy Hop, Rogue Voltage, and 9 Years of Shadows, Carlos injects Tinkerlands with his unique creative flair.



Last but certainly not least, we have Jacob, aka DonutDroid, the maestro behind the mesmerizing music of Tinkerlands. A seasoned guitarist with over two decades of experience, Jacob's journey into the world of video game music began four years ago. With a passion for gaming spanning three decades, his musical compositions add depth and atmosphere to every corner of Tinkerlands.



As a team, we're having an absolute blast building this world and sprinkling it with all sorts of little secrets for you to uncover. So gear up, fellow adventurers, because the journey awaits in Tinkerlands!

Join us on this magical adventure!

Tinkerlands: Brand New Visuals, Gameplay Updates & Co-op Mode!

Hello everyone!

Long time no see 🙂
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year!

Meanwhile, we worked hard on our two upcoming projects: Tinkerlands and its prologue - A Shipwrecked Adventure. And now, in our second monthly (well, not really monthly, but we will try to keep to that schedule!) devlog, we want to share some updates with you!

Let's get started!

[h2]Updated Visuals and UI[/h2]
The most significant improvement is the art style. We've received a lot of feedback from the Reddit and Twitter communities, and we've taken some notes on how to make the game look great!

Let's take a look at some of the changes to the overall art style and UI:



[h2]Gameplay Changes[/h2]
We also started to make the gameplay more complex and the walkthrough more complicated (not a grind wall, don’t worry!)

We decided to create some conditions to go to other locations but in a logical & more realistic way. For example, you will need to wear special light clothes for the Desert adventure. Otherwise, you will get some hallucinations and the sun can heat your head!



Or another example: don't have warm clothes? You're not going to like the Snow Forest biome, because it's really cold out there!



[h2]First Steps into the Online[/h2]
And we have some brand new stuff about the online mode! Let's have a look at the WIP video examples:



[h2]And some bonuses![/h2]
A new way to move around the Tinkerland world quickly - the Hook!
And yes, you can also do the GET OVER HERE thing with it :)



That's it for now, folks!
We've got a lot of work to do :)
Thank you for your attention
See you in a month (or more)!

Cheers,
The CodeManu Team
