- Chicory speedrunner sets two world records while chatting with the indie game's dev - 14 January 2022
If not the best game of 2021, Chicory: A Colorful Tale is certainly the most delightful. (I'm a little gutted I couldn't argue it onto our Game of the Year list .) It's part of AGDQ this year, featuring runner Punchy along with commentary from the indie game's director, Greg Lobanov. But it seems the real magic happened before the run on the big stage. In a set of casual practice runs while chatting with Lobanov, Punchy set back-to-back Chicory world records. The second of those records stands at 32 minutes and two seconds, a full 48 seconds ahead of the next-fastest run listed on Speedrun.com . This is in the category for all bosses and trials - any% runs can be as fast as five minutes. While the actual GDQ run has plenty of insight into the game's development from Lobanov and info on how the speedrun works from Punchy, the earlier world records pretty much just feature the two of them…
- Chicory: A Colorful Tale team is working on "something new" - 2 January 2022
A new game from the team behind indie darlings Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Wandersong , and Celeste is on the way - which may be a sequel to Chicory or a brand new game - and to celebrate the reveal, one of Chicory's creators teased a weird new creature from the upcoming game. After a successful Kickstarter where it raised nearly three times its starting goal, the delightful Chicory: A Colorful Tale released in June 2021. It's an adventure game where you play as a dog in a colouring book. Players have to solve puzzles and help other characters with the ability to paint and colour anything in the game. It's currently rated "overwhelmingly positive" on Steam, and some reviews called it a " clear GOTY contender ". Chicory's director and main developer is Greg Lobanov, the creator of Wandersong - a game with reviews so ridiculously positive that Steam thought that users were faking them . Now…

- Chicory: A Colorful Tale review: picture-perfect storytelling - 1 July 2021
Creativity lies at the heart of both Greg Lobanov's games. In Wandersong , it was singing. In Chicory: A Colorful Tale , it's painting. While not the most heroic of video game pursuits - indeed, Wandersong's bard and Chicory's janitor-turned-amateur brush wielder are repeatedly shown to be considerably less capable than their games' personal and professional heroes - both end up playing critical roles in restoring their respective worlds to their former glory. They balance out the bad, and revive what was lost. It's a feeling that anyone with a creative outlet can relate to, whether it's drawing, singing, knitting, playing an instrument, heck, even writing, but Chicory goes one step further. Despite its big, chunky picture book veneer, this top-down adventure game strikes hard at what it actually means to be creative, celebrating its joyous and fulfilling highs while also tackling its (…
- Week 1 Hotfixes Report! - 21 June 2021
Since our previous bugfix report, build has gone from 1.0.0.53 to 1.0.0.56. Changes: *Saves now create a backup file to hopefully mitigate the extremely rare case where it saves incorrectly/corrupted on PC Rainforest flowers now have a much higher priority to receive clicks even when the player is standing on/in front of them. This also makes bombs easier to operate when combined with these. Added button shortcuts for Undo/Redo and made the buttons interactable for co-op players A certain NPC who gives you litter for accomplishing something obscure will now give it to you on any interaction after you've beaten the game Lowered the fill % requirement for the wall mural in Dinners Added 1680x945 resolution Increased the distance from which you can interact with Couscous slightly so the player doesn't walk out of it during conversation Increased Clementine's interact priority while in your…
- Official First-Days Hotfix Report - 13 June 2021
Version number on launch was 1.0.0.50 The latest build is now 1.0.0.53 New Features: "Teleport to Luncheon" in Options menu lets you warp safety if stuck "Clear GIF" button on title screen - now you can use and re-use the title screen as a full-featured time-lapse drawer and exporter! Toggle Cursor Stick with L3 - option added to let you live toggle the sick which pilots the character and cursor. Might be helpful for left-handed players Setting font style to "Readable" also sets a minimum text size so it can't get too small *New text added when a certain character appears in the Master Gallery after beating the game - this appeared to be a bug previously but we actually had to write new text for this (lol) *Added one new content warning for a certain NPC *These changes are awaiting localization in some languages and will appear in future builds for non-english languages Fixes: A massive…
- Day 1 hotfixes & Teleport option - 11 June 2021
Hey there! We've been patching the game with tiny fixes throughout the day. A few more issues are known and not yet addressed - we're workin on them! For the most part we've been focused on areas where players can squeeze out of bounds and/or get themselves softlocked in the game. We've plugged MANY holes in the last 24 hours. But also to help address this, we added a new option on PC to let you teleport to Luncheon - this is an abslutely emergency failsafe that should fix you up no matter where you're stuck. If the option looks OK, we'll be rolling it out soon to other platforms as we work on other fixes. Thank you everyone for the amazing response so far!!!!!
- Chicory: A Colorful Tale makes you engage with its world in a completely transformative way - 11 June 2021
I guess Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a bit like Zelda really. You're a gentle hero on a thrilling, sometimes frightening adventure. You explore a top-down world filled with charming people to talk to and lovely diversions. There are side quests and puzzles and abilities that steadily open up the map and allow you to manipulate the world around you in increasingly inventive ways. There are dungeons and bosses. But! But the more I play the more I realise that Chicory is actually nothing like Zelda. It's like no game I've ever played. And that's because of what it does with its map. I'm still getting my head around it, to be honest, learning by the hour. It's a bit like Zelda and - weird to type this - a bit like the menus they sometimes give kids in restaurants, along with a beaker of crayons. Chicory's map is something you can draw on. And this brings the entire game, and everything in it…
