You have been given a bit of power from within the tower... through voting!

So what is this new build about?

This build mainly includes quality-of-life changes that add structure to the game beyond its sandbox state, such as more guidance, narrative, and less guesswork, as well as general polish, as seen in our previous posting.

Fellow apprentices, we are on our way towards a build for public playtesting! 🧙‍♂️

Once we are done with internal playtesting to iron out any obvious bugs starting next week, we will be dishing out a build for the community server to test!

See thread for more... #gamedev #indiegames #qa #playtesting

⚙️ 15 new named Potions with effects that interact with the player—for better or for worse.

So… what’s next?

That’s all we can show for now, but hopefully it’s enough to show that the team is still working hard on something we truly hope you’ll love! ✨

⚙️ A gorgeous lick of paint across all assets, bringing everything up to a consistent quality level.

⚙️ An overhauled Dialogue System, with much more flair and personality in every interaction! (Easter eggs, secret information, and hidden recipes tucked away in secret dialogue, too?)

⚙️ A new, compact source of information: a Journal containing all your unlocked details about Ingredients, Potions, and Settings.

⚙️ The Request System has been overhauled with a more “Bounty Board”–style approach, including the ability to track requests inside your Journal.

Hey all! 💊

We’re hard at work ensuring the next preview of Clockwork Concoctions is worth revisiting after our previous GaMaYo.

We have a lot on the way, but we want to make sure it’s at a level we’re proud of before you pick it apart.

So have a sneak peek...
