As of 09/13/2019, TinkerQuarry has exited Early Access. The game is now fully available for purchase on the Steam store page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/651280/TinkerQuarry/ First and foremost, I want to give an earnest, personal Thank-You to all of the Early Access testers and Dollhouse Denizens that made this project possible. This game would have never come as far as it has if it wasn't for your wonderful feedback, support, and patience! I'd also like to thank the individuals that helped contribute to the project in the form of music and other assets: Antriksh Bali was the primary composer for TinkerQuarry, whom brought his talents to the project and created a truly incredible auditory experience for the games' many locations + battle sequences. In conjunction with the games' v1.0 update, Bali has released the TinkerQuarry Original soundtrack on a variety of streaming platfor…

Hello all! I'm sure you're wondering how the next patch is coming along...It has been a few months after all. I've unfortunately been burdened with school, computer issues, and other projects. But luckily for you, I have a few small previews and patch notes to share! Some minor spoilers inbound, as usual. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F29109964%2F19d1e150310dab7be08ddd64c41438ba0bf09e81.gif Those who have played on the Testing branch lately may have noticed these goo-covered arms lingering around the Locked Halls Vents. This gif shows off a simple random damage tile effect. The placeholder stairs represent a 'safe' passage, while the grates represent a 'dangerous' one. Stepping onto the tiles while the goo arms are facing you will trigger an attack, inflicting a small amount of damage on the player! Going through the vents in these areas will require so…
