Lunar new year graphic from Steam Lunar New Year sale of a horse chibi riding a dragon-like fish and holding a steamer next to the capsule art for Familiar Findings. A witch opens a spellbook and magical creatures like a dragon and a cat emerge.

Familiar Findings is taking part in the lunar new year sale on Steam! As a special gift, we've added a few lunar new year decorations in the Craft Tab. We hope to add more seasonal decorations in future so you always have more to look forward to!

Familiar Findings is a charming, creature-collecting idle game where players summon and fuse magical familiars to complete the magical codex of creatures. @cliffagames.bsky.social #Steam #FamiliarFindings #indiegame

"Overall, I found Familiar Findings to be a charming addition to my idle games collection with an engaging fusion mechanic that kept me eager to experiment and discover new species and color variants.

Final Verdict: I Like it a Lot"

Chat & I have been having so much fun with the demo & now we get to see the full game together!

🟣 Live 2/9 at 2 pm EST

Fans who've played the Demo may have spotted a sneak peak at one of Avia's new outfits. We'll be launching with three outfits to choose from in four colours each. Can anyone guess which Familiar this replica armour is based off of?

You can see Fidel hasn't changed much from his concept art sketches. Excited for everyone to meet him when the game launches tomorrow!

Counting down a Familiar a day until our game launches TOMORROW except today its Avia!

Avia is a witch and researcher of mythozoology, the study of magical creatures. It's her dream to publish a magical grimoire about Familiars and she's looking for a new assistant...

An early development screenshot of idle game Familiar Findings. On the left is some very basic 2D pixel art showing slimes. On the right, a selection screen for upgrades of various "monsters" with basic pixel art of slimes, beasts, undead, dragons, flora and demon monsters.

An updated screenshot of the current gameplay of Familiar Findings. The menu is now shaped like a book with tabs to open other pages. There is a selection screen where the user can choose between a dragon, a ghost or a two-tailed cat. On the right is a summoning circle. On the bottom of the screen are two baby dragons, a cat and a panda with a bamboo scarf. There is an elf-like witch in the bottom right screen in dragon armour with long white hair. A scroll above their head depicts the mana.

This #screenshotsaturday we're going to be a bit sentimental with the launch of the game on Monday. How it started vs. how it looks now!

The game has come such a long way in such a short amount of time and we can't wait for people to see it.

Screenshot from the codex of the grimoire from the witch Idle Game Familiar Findings. It shows a drawing of a four-legged blue creature with small pink horns and purple mousey ears. The tail of the creature is a blue flame. The text reads: Fidel Tier 4 Spirit Fauna Scholars Notes: These creatures value loyalty and always keep their word. They usually serve as overseers of various pacts made by Witches. A contract sealed using their spirit flames is unbreakable. Avia's Notes: One time, I promised Grandma I'll do the dishes and a Fidel overheard us. It chased me around the hut until I did it!

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.

Fidel is a Tier 4 Spirit - Flora hybrid. They were originally designed by our artist @demeru.itch.io long before this game began development!

Screenshot from the codex of Idle Fantasy Game Familiar Findings. The image depicts a blue teddy-like slime riding on a cloud with glitter covering its body. The text names it as a Dewdrop, Tier 4 Slime Familiar. Text reads: Scholar Notes: These delicate familiars need constant humidity to avoid drying out. Their mucin is highly sought after in skincare and cosmetics for its hydrating and regenerative properties. Avia's Notes: Just holding one leaves my hands feeling soft and hydrated. Potions with their mucin are outrageously expensive so I like to make my own.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.

Featuring more of our Slime Family. Today we have the Tier 4 Slime, the Dewdrop. We had so much fun writing the codex entries for this one.

#Idlegame #Indiegame #Fantasygame #Steam #cozygame

Excited to launch in just four days! Here's a preview of some of the background we've been working on, presented by some members of the slime family.

Screenshot from the upcoming Idle Game Familiar Findings on Steam. It depicts a page from the codex. On the right hand side there is a 2D Pixel Art drawing of a ghost-like figure, with a fiery mane and a ram skull mask covering their face. They carry a staff and wear blue grey robes. Text: Lunaris Tier 5 Spirit Scholars Text: Familiars wielding moonlight magic. Their power reaches its peak during a full moon and they can help witches enhance their spells by imbuing objects with magic. Avia's Notes: Charging my moonstones has become our little ritual. We make tea and chat for hours.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.

The spirit Lunaris is a Tier 5 Familiar and wielder of moonlight magic. They are the most powerful pure Spirit Familiar in the game.

An image of a potato wearing a top hat with the text Top Potato

I wanted to challenge myself and decided to try to make a game using a kid's game engine! I didn't have any coding classes growing up, so I was excited to give this a go & purposely limit myself using the Scratch engine.

Here's my game: Top Potato!

#gamedev #indiegames unaminh.itch.io/top-potato

Familiar Findings Idle Game Codex entry for Leavete. A Tier 2 Flora-Dragon hybrid. There is a pixel art drawing of a pink axolotl-like creature with leaves for gills. Text reads: Scholar Text: Known for their regenerative abilities, these familiars were favored by famous alchemist and astronomer Isak Newton, assisting him in his attempt to create an Elixir of Life. Avia's Notes: He may not have succeeded in his goal, but he really inspired me with his vision to work with Familiars in shared scientific discovery.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.

The Leavete is a Flora-Dragon hybrid inspired by axolotyls. Their codex entry was inspired by Isaac Newton's real alchemical studies.

A pixel art drawing of a mushroom creature called Noko in the codex of Familiar Findings. Text Reads: Incredibly resilient creatures found in dark places. Their bioluminescent magic can heal minor cuts or injuries. They're always happy to lend me their light when I'm working in the dark.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th (a bit delayed today because the internet was down).

Today is Noko, a Flora-Spirit hybrid Familiar. The perfect companion to any Ecowitches with a penchant for fungi.

Is the Kelpie the most underrated fantasy horse creature? If you're a horse girl who like cosy games, you can wishlist Familiar Findings on Steam:

A screenshot from the codex of idle game Familiar Findings. It shows a photo of a Kelpie - a green horse-like creature with seaweed for a mane and gills along its legs. The text reads: Kelpie: Tier 5 Flora Fauna Scholarly Text: Kelpies will ride off in excitement with any who climb upon their backs, dragging them into nearby waters. Eat some seaweed from its mane to temporarily grow gills and swim to shore. Avia's notes: Kelpie Seaweed loses its magical potency after its cooked. It's a popular ingredient in soups, salads and as a garnish. I like to use it to make Kelpie Seaweed Jerky.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.

Today features the Kelpie, introducing a hybrid from the last of our new families - Flora. They'll let you brush their mane but be careful unless you want to take a swim!

Screenshot from the codex of the Idle Game Familiar Findings. The codex shows a Tier 1 Familiar from the Slime Family called a Jelly. The image shows a small blue slime with green eyes and small antennae. The Text Reads: Jelly Tier 1 Slime Scholarly Notes: These trash gobblers are magical vaccums, hoovering up moss and lichen from adventurer dungeons. Popular with housekeepers and janitors. Avia's Notes: They'll leave your floor shining like a mirror and are so much cuter than a magihoover.

Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th. Next up gives us a look at a brand new family, Slimes!

The Jelly is the baby of the family and you can tell, its one of the cutest Familiars in the game.
