Craftlings

Hello there, Ariano here, I was thinking that sending Craftlings to space would also be a good idea. Since humans will follow shortly, those tiny workers could already start mining asteroids, building infrastructure on planets, and helping to create a new life in space for humans, right? But first things first — we need a rocket! 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Engines are on! In the newest patch, I’ve added a new map, Apollo 67, where the player has to build rocket parts with the help of a local scrap merchant in the sandy dunes of a desert. The merchant accepts anything that interacts with the metal detector and turns it into rocket parts. It is up to you whether you start mass fork production, build a hammer factory line, or try to brute-force your way to space with just axes! 👀 There are also a few small QoL additions and small bug fixes. Before you jump into the patch notes, I would like to ask for one thing: Thousands of you have finished the campaign, playing through all of the missions, many of you even multiple times. Hundreds have played the new scenario map! Craftlings currently has around 300 reviews, which I am super grateful for. Those are really important for the game’s visibility

Hello there, Ariano here, I have a few updates for you today. Before I jump into the new content and the 1.1 update, I want to say two things: 1.) Thank you for playing, for being part of the community, for your help, your kind words, your Steam reviews, and for the trust and hope you have in me as a developer and in the game. It truly means a lot! 2.) Unfortunately, Craftlings did not sell enough to cover all the costs associated with development and running a small company, and also the consequences of the termination of my publishing contract last year make it even harder. Honestly, it’s kind of a wonder I managed to launch the game at all with these circumstances, the stress level, and the limited time and resources after that. I’m not allowed to talk about the details and could get into serious trouble if I do — that’s how contracts for indie developers are often structured these days. If you’re interested in what happend, I wrote all I could here. Money, Money, Money ... Speaking of money, let’s dive into the new update and the new map: “Shark of Wall Street.” In the 1.1 update, I’ve added a new section called “Scenarios.” This is something I’m really excited about — it gives

Hey, Ariano here – officially an independent game developer with a number of games in his catalog equal to ONE! I had a short night. After releasing the game, I stayed up late to fix a bug and push a patch for Steam Deck users 🐞 But I’m really happy and proud that so many of you are playing Craftlings and enjoying it. I truly appreciate all your warm comments and messages on Discord, X, and Steam! If you could do me a favor and write a review on Steam, it would really help. This way, people interested in buying the game can better understand what to expect from it—what Craftlings is and what it is not. That would be awesome! And here’s a short changelog for the small patch v1.0.3: - Bug fix: On Steam Deck, the ladder did not react to the B button - Bug fix: The ladder was sometimes skipped at 3× speed BTW, I’m curious—how does the rank system work? What are your best ranks so far? On the Discord server, I’ve prepared special roles for top-tier ranks. If you want, join us there and share your rank 💪 Happy wusseln! Ariano

Hello there, Let’s start with the Craftlings 1.0 Release Date Trailer right away — no long intro! Oh boy, oh boy! I guess we’re really getting there. I can’t believe that after 4 years of intense work I’m finally releasing Craftlings next month! Maybe you’re asking yourself how does it feel? Honestly — kind of hard to find the right word! On one hand, I feel excitement and happiness that the first big chapter of my indie dev journey is coming to an end — and players will get their hands on Craftlings. On the other hand, I’m a bit uncertain about what the next chapter, starting after release, will be about! But let’s keep our fingers crossed — because the players from Discord community and I already have plenty of ideas on how we could extend the core concept of Craftlings! Craftlings has come a long way, from its first prototype and early demo under the old working title "The Settlings" in 2022, to today’s version that we’re currently beta testing heavily with focus on: Bugs & stability Performance Balancing QoL improvements These priorities might sound obvious, but it’s not always the case — and not always possible.
