Village of the Tinkerer

Hello All,

Been a hot minute but work and family life has been taking up a lot of my time for personal projects. Since it's just been me working on things I haven't been able to accomplish a whole lot.

However, I do want to announce that I have picked back up one of my older projects "Village of the Tinkerer". I got a bit inspired from some cozy games I have been using my free time on and had an idea for a story. Village of the Tinkerer was a base for a project I was working on that could easily tie into the narrative.

The game doesn't have much so far and is still very early in the prototyping phase. It's got working 3D, movement, level transitions, inventory, stats, and a job system. The job system is half baked at best right now.

The goal will be to create a game in a similar vein as something like Fantasy Life. Many of the cozy games I have been playing have the whole "you are a farmer who occasionally fishes and mines" sort of vibe. Don't get me wrong, those are fun to play but I wanted something that feels a bit more alive. Luma Island was a step in the right direction with some job aspects and a town that has to be recovered.

Anywho, thanks for reading the ramble here. I'll get back to the grind and see what I can make!
