This is the second time that Misburg has worked with Headup Games for a project. In 2018, Misbug worked on pixel art for Textorcist. This is just another instance of Headup Games partnering with the right people to deliver a great experience to gamers and its community.
According to Headup Games, Hiroki Kikuta will contribute two tracks that are being created exclusively for Tinkertown. Hiroki Kikuta had this to say about the project.
“When the team of Tinkertown approached me with their request to contribute to the game, I was quickly sold on the idea; it’s a cheerful take on 16-Bit RPG classics, transported into the modern sandbox genre. My soundtrack is designed to enhance this experience, lifting up the spirits of any adventurers setting foot into the lovely world of Tinkertown.”
What is Tinkertown?
Tinkertown is a drop-in multiplayer game where players build, craft, and explore a procedurally generated, open world. Players will discover dungeons filled with enemies, bosses, and epic loot. The loot can be combined with countless resources and blueprints to craft tools, armor, and weapons as well as furniture, workshops, and machines. The machines can be used to build settlements that can eventually turn into the talk of the land.
Players explore the world and its different biomes such as mystical forests, vast deserts, chilling ice tundras, and mountains. Mountains can contain rivers of glowing lava, all depicted with handmade pixel graphics.
Tinkertown offers different experiences to all players, based on their choice of weapons and armor. The player can choose to play as either a rogue, warrior, mage, or some variation; It is important to choose carefully at the beginning, as many enemies lurk in the world, and powerful bosses await you in the dungeons.
