OMG the dev is still working on this ?!

Hey everyone, I'm glad to present the brand new update for Tinyfolks. This update contains the following :

• Boss Rush Challenge Mode : Try this extra challenging mode where you only get to fight the bosses, no more feeble minions to warm up your team! Will you be able to beat the Evil Sorcerer if you are not able to farm feeble goons for resources?
• Achievement bug fixes : all achievements should be accessible to unlock. This has been an issue for a while, but everything should work now
• Some bug fixes on baby mode (cradle didn't work as intended)

I would like to appologize for the lack of updates recently, here are a few reasons this took so long : - Last year I was pretty busy working as a small shop owner in my community. This obviously took a lot of my energy, and I just could'nt find enough free time to work on game dev projects. I stopped doing that a few months ago, and I just got out of the French paperwork, so I'm back in front of the computer and will be resuming my work on all of my game dev projects! - I have a big game in the works called Rootown, on wich I have been spending a lot of time. Obviously this meant that Tinyfolks was not my highest priority anymore. - To be totally honest, it's hard to go back on a 3 years+ old project when you have other fun things to work on ^^

Unrelated news : Orb Tower

I just released the steam page for a brand new project that should be coming out really soon called Orb Tower and I'm really excited to share it with you. In short, it's a Roguelike version of the arcade classic Puzzle Bobble, with cool pixel art graphics and tons of different challenge modes, bosses, items, achievements etc... Enough to keep you entertained for hours if you dig that kind of game! The game should come out in a few weeks, but you can already wishlist the game to be notified as soon as it comes out. As always, wishlisting the game is one of the best way you can help me! You can find it here : Orb Tower Steam Page

What About Rootown?

Don't worry, I'm still working on it, even if I didn't share any updates about it recently on Steam, I have been making video content about my progress on Youtube and TikTok as well as sharing my developement process on Twitch. The game is coming along nicely, even if the shopkeeping buisness slowed down things a lot last year. Expect some cool news on this in about a month!

As always, thank you so much

I'm really happy to see people are still enjoying Tinyfolks three years after its launch, and I'm really glad I'm finally able to spend more time making games now. Have fun with the new challenge, and take care Pierre

Just a quick patch to fix the game breaking bug during combat, forgot a small detail in the build that completely breaks the game. This is now fixed on Windows and Linux, making the Mac build right now (but it's taking a bit longer since I have to boot up my old Macbook pro to make the build) Really sorry about that!

Hi all! To celebrate an entire year of Tinyfolks being out in the world, I made a game mode where the king has been replaced by a 1 year old baby! It's a completely different game mode, where the baby must be in all combats, and if it dies, the game ends! This should be quite a challenge! On another note, I've been working hard on a little project called "Spacefolks", and I will keep you posted about it later this year. This update includes a bunch of small bug fixes, so the game should be as smooth running as possible! As always, thank you so much for playing :) Cheers Pierre

A BIG THANK YOU

As always, thank you all for your support! I'm trying to scale up my one-man studio and get funding to hire some cool game devs and pixel artist friends of mine. As I'm working on a new game, I can't say when I'll be adding new content to Tinyfolks, but I'll at least try and get the game on iOS in the next few months! Love Pierre

Hi all! Thank you so much for the enthousiasm around the 1.1.0 update! I've been working hard for the past 6 weeks to give you an amazing update, packed with new challenges, features, folks and music! The game is currently being tested by a bunch of friends, but I think I should let the community get their hands on it as well! I'll be closely listening to feedback on the Steam community dashboard and on the brand new Discord server as well

WHY MAKE A PRE-RELEASE?

I figured this would be the best way to gather feedback about the new features before making them the default option. Since this is a pretty major update, I really want you to have a say on what it brings to the game.

HOW TO GET THE PRE-RELEASE

To make the job a little easier for me, the 1.1.0 prerelease is only available on Windows at the moment The 1.1.0 BETA version is currently on the prerelease branch of the game. To access this branch : [olist]

Right-clic on the game's name in your Steam Library

Go to Settings > Betas

Select the "prerelease" option in the dropdown menu

Type the password : "tinyprerelease" [/olist] WARNING : this is a pre-release version and might not be perfectly stable. You're at risk of loosing game progress (not your achievements). You can make a backup of the save files, they're located in the main game file directory.

NEW DISCORD SERVER

As it has been suggested multiple times, I've decided to create a Discord server for our community. This is the best place to reach out to me, talk about the game and share cool new strats. You can reach the server by clicking this link : https://discord.gg/gVtgr8apxc

TINYFOLKS OST

The OST is finished, including all the new music added in the 1.1.0 update, and will be out as soon as the Steam verification process is over (usually a few days)

TRANSLATION

Only the English language has been verified, but I decided to make the text file containing all the text in the game availables directly in the game files. This way, adding new languages and / or fixing spelling error will be A) faster for me B) easier for anyone to do. I'm still speaking with a few kind translators, but If you want to help as well, feel free to reach out in the Discord !

NEW ACHIEVEMENTS ??

I had to create new achievements to accomodate the 1.1.0 update. Most are not available to unlock in the current official 1.0.7 version. I will do a proper changelog once the 1.1.0 update is officially released (next week if everything goes well), until then, have fun, and feel free to reach out about anything regarding the new update, I'm really looking forward to hear your thoughts on it ! Love Pierre
