'Tinkertown' Steam Early Access Update Adds Fast Travel Stations And More

by Rainier on Aug. 2, 2022 @ 10:25 a.m. PDT

Tinkertown features a procedurally generated open world, which can be explored alone or via simple drop-in-drop-out multiplayer with up to three friends online.

Come to Tinkertown - A refreshing new Multiplayer Sandbox Experience! Grab your shovel, your pickaxe, and your sword and enter the realms of Tinkertown. A magical place awaits filled with loot, danger, and creativity. Build your own village - from small shacks to impressive castles and townships.

Tinkertown features a procedurally generated open world, which can be explored alone or via simple drop-in-drop-out multiplayer with up to three friends online. Sinister dungeons offer an additional challenge with merciless battles, but reward the players with epic loot, which can be used for numerous crafting possibilities.

The game world captivates with handmade pixel graphics and offers a dynamic day and night cycle, creating a very special, magical atmosphere. There are various biomes to explore, such as mystical forests, vast deserts, chilling ice tundras and mountains with glowing rivers of lava. And above all that, you will find one thing: Loot, Loot, Loot!

Utilizing many resources as well as countless blueprints and crafting recipes, there are no limits to the design possibilities in Tinkertown. Besides tools, armor and different weapons, players can also craft furniture, workshops and machines. This way, a small village can rise from an initial hut in no time, and eventually whole settlements and impressive cities will emerge.

By equipping their character with different types of weapons and armor, each player experiences Tinkertown their own way - as a rogue, warrior, mage, or in a self-created role. Character specialization is especially useful, because in this colorful world many dangers are lurking: In addition to small enemies, which will make life difficult for the player on the overworld right from the start, powerful bosses are waiting in the combat-orientated dungeons.

Adventuring alongside friends in Tinkertown gets a great deal more convenient today with the release of the new Travel Update. The update adds a host of new features that makes traversing the land of Tinkertown easier and more exciting, building on the previous Combat & Classes update which brought more depth and balance to combat.

In this update, the player can place a complex railway system and then hop into a mountable Mine Cart to travel faster than ever before. If mountable mine carts aren't really your style, then you can travel even faster with the Fast Travel Stations (via teleportation). These Fast Travel Stations can be placed all over the map and allow players to travel instantaneously between other stations. All you need to do is place one in each of your bases and there’s no more need to travel long distances between towns.

The Travel Update also continues to build on the new systems introduced in the recent Combat & Classes update, which introduced the charge-attack, weapon scaling and new stats bringing depth and balance to combat. Tinkertown will continue to grow with more updates planned.

Tinkertown is available on Steam Early Access.

Key Features:

  • Explore beautiful landscapes such as mystical forests, great deserts, steaming lava mountains, and more.
  • Craft new equipment and become a rogue, a warrior, or wizard - or create a new loadout and invent your own play-style.
  • Gather resources and discover new things to build.
  • Build your own habitat - by yourself, or online with up to three friends.
  • Descent into combat driven dungeons and battle large underworld bosses.

Tinkertown is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2022.
