Tinkerlands: January devlog

Tinkerlands - EveTok

Heya, Tinkerlanders!

We’re back with another short development update as Tinkerlands moves closer to becoming the adventure you’ve been waiting for!

So far the singleplayer version is nearly ready, packed with new features, reworked biomes, and fun updates. Our next focus is testing all this content and diving into the multiplayer mode’s optimization.

While it’s taken a bit longer than we originally planned (turns out making an awesome game is quite the adventure!), we’re thrilled to announce that Tinkerlands is now planned for Early Access release in Q2 2025 - and we’re working hard to make sure it’s polished to perfection.

Here’s a glimpse of what we were working on last month:

Pirate Items: Counterfeit coins, pirate guns, coin guns, cutlasses, and more themed gear.
Biomes and Locations: We've made some final touches to the islands you will travel to in the Early Access version of the game. Ghostlands, Jungles, Coraline Fields are almost ready to be explored, as well as all the new locations like Ghostlands Town, Turtle Island, Monsoon Jungles, Tribe Ruins, Merman Dungeon and more.
Systems and Events: Vanity system to give you more variety in your outlook, Pirate Invasion Event, reworked Cooking System, NPC Quests, and Ship Navigation improvements.
New NPCs: Meet the Chef, Cartographer, Carpenter, and more, each with unique quests and rewards.

Thank you for your patience and incredible support - we couldn’t do this without you! Stay tuned for more updates as we craft the world of Tinkerlands! 🚀

DRILL TO HELL: The demo is available!

Drill To Hell : Clicked Too Deep - Lapin Lambda

Hello everyone!

Let me introduce myself: Lambda, independent developer and artist. After working at Evil Empire Studio on Dead Cells, Return To Castlevania and The Rogue Prince of Persia, here I am, launching my solo career.

And I haven't been idle. After 4 months of development, I'm already announcing my first Steam game: Drill To Hell!

It's a clicker that combines automation, frantic collection of minerals and deepening exploration of the bowels of the earth. The game is meant to be satisfying without too much hassle. And... judging from the first playtests, the addictive side doesn't seem to be lacking! I'll let you judge for yourself.

Because, yes the first two levels are available for you. For the other six... I still have new content to prepare, balance everything out and take care of the last elements for an optimal gaming experience!

While waiting for the full release, I hope to have as much feedback as possible to refine the game to the finest detail! 🎂🍒👌

> DEMO PAGE <

So, don't hesitate to share the game, add it to your wish list and follow me on the various social networks to be informed of the latest progress of the project! For those curious, I regularly post short absurd devlogs where I talk to you about Drill To Hell with a sexy frenchy accent! Hehehe!

Kisses to you and my best wishes for this year 2025!
