- ❗️ Make sure Tinkertown is updated – Outdated server shutting November 18 ❗️ - 15 November 2024
Hi Tinkerers! We hope you’re enjoying the Tinkertown 2.0 Update! If you haven’t updated your game yet, you’re not only missing out on a bunch of cool new additions, changes, features, and a whole new biome, you might also risk not being able to play online anymore! Some of you might still be exploring, crafting, building, fighting, and farming in an outdated version of the game which is running on an older server. ❗️ That server will be shut down on November 18. ❗️ If your game isn’t updated to the latest version by then, this might result in you not being able to play the game online anymore. Luckily, the fix is easy: update your game to the latest version, and you’re good to go! There is nothing else you need to do in order to transfer your save. If you don’t read this in time or are unable to update your game before the server is shut off – don’t sweat it! All you need to do to enjoy…

- 🚧Update 1.0.10 live! Fixes for decoration and final boss👹 - 2 November 2023
Hey Tinkerers, Hope you've been enjoying the Halloween vibes in Tinkertown! Also, thank you for the nice input you've had on the new skins, you are looking great in them! 🤩 We just wanted to pop in here with a small update. A few of you have ran into a bug with not being able to reach the last boss, and as much as we want to protect you from any harm, we still think it's fair to let you in there. 🤓 So, we squashed that bug and also changed the newly added effects for the halloween deco equipments - they are now correctly set on the character model and looks a bit better.

- 👻Time for spooky season in Tinkertown!👻 - 30 October 2023
Dear Tinkerers, Only a few days ago we released a new patch with some minor fixes to make your experience of Tinkertown even smoother. We also invited you to leave even more feedback about how we can improve the game via a new feedback form: forms.office.com/e/02JjAgw2bq Of course, you can also still send us your feedback the “traditional” way – via social media, in the Steam discussions, and on Discord. ❤️ Today, we have a spooky surprise for you!

- Update 1.0.8 and the way forward! 🛣️ - 26 October 2023
Dear Tinkerers, It's been a few weeks since our latest dev blog, and we wanted to give you an update on where we are currently at. We’ve been working hard to optimize the overall experience of Tinkertown, especially from a technical perspective, and we will continue to do so for some time. This means that our programmers are putting almost all their time into transforming the game backend towards a database structure, and optimizing the performance. Still, we're taking what time we have left to improve other features in the meantime.😊 Therefore we’re now releasing patch 1.0.8.! Looking at your feedback on Steam and Discord, you mentioned that new quests and follow-up quests were hard to spot. In 1.0.8, we’ve added an indicator on each NPC to show whether there’s a new quest, and updated the icons within the quest UI. One of the other bigger requests from you was some sort of guidance s…

We have been working very hard with the game, based on the feedback you've given us since we left Early Access. One of the major things on the horizon is the database update, which will enhance the performance of the game. The Lava Biome is of course also a big thing coming up, and we wanted to give you a little glimpse behind the curtain! Here's us getting into a unfortunate situation with a Watcher, one of the new mobs introduced with the biome. Watch out for that (glorious looking) beam! As you can see on the map below, the structure of the biomes changes up a bit when we introduce the Lava area. Instead of having two desert areas, there's now one of each - forest, desert, ice and lava. Do you have any hopes or wishes for…
