Finding a bug right before and after launch is a dev right of passage.
"You never want to incentivise stuff that isn't fun, that's gamedev 101." #stardewvalley10thanniversary
Seeing the progress from Stardew Valley at six months to release is so interesting. What a treat it is for indie developers to see the process of such a giant of the industry!

Anybody else tuning in? Casting this to the tv in our sitting room right now. #stardewvalley #stardew10thanniversary

art from the idle game Familiar Findings. It is 2d hand drawn pixel art of four kelpies in blue, pale green, bright green and purple roaming in front of a forest and mountain range. Lunar new year decorations adorn the screen with fireworks, lanterns and horse statues.
Happy Lunar New Year! You can check out our Lunar New Year decorations as part of our Lunar New Year sale with 10% off the game. Our kelpies are helpfully modelling a few below.

Lunar new year graphic from Steam Lunar New Year sale of a horse chibi riding a dragon-like fish and holding a steamer next to the capsule art for Familiar Findings. A witch opens a spellbook and magical creatures like a dragon and a cat emerge.
Familiar Findings is taking part in the lunar new year sale on Steam! As a special gift, we've added a few lunar new year decorations in the Craft Tab. We hope to add more seasonal decorations in future so you always have more to look forward to!
Familiar Findings is a charming, creature-collecting idle game where players summon and fuse magical familiars to complete the magical codex of creatures. @cliffagames.bsky.social #Steam #FamiliarFindings #indiegame

The Irish Games community has been so supportive of our studio and we can't wait to be involved in this event.
"Overall, I found Familiar Findings to be a charming addition to my idle games collection with an engaging fusion mechanic that kept me eager to experiment and discover new species and color variants.
Final Verdict: I Like it a Lot"
Thanks to Ladies Gamers for the review!

Tomorrow is the day!
I am so excited I get to have the full release of #FamiliarFindings for the stream tomorrow! I cannot wait to see all of the new familiars for myself.
Chat & I have been having so much fun with the demo & now we get to see the full game together!

Fans who've played the Demo may have spotted a sneak peak at one of Avia's new outfits. We'll be launching with three outfits to choose from in four colours each. Can anyone guess which Familiar this replica armour is based off of?

You can see Fidel hasn't changed much from his concept art sketches. Excited for everyone to meet him when the game launches tomorrow!

Counting down a Familiar a day until our game launches TOMORROW except today its Avia!
Avia is a witch and researcher of mythozoology, the study of magical creatures. It's her dream to publish a magical grimoire about Familiars and she's looking for a new assistant...

"Itβs ambient joy. A soft fantasy hum in the background of my daily PC routine... for anyone who likes a charming and cozy idle game, Familiar Findings feels like a warm spell cast directly onto your desktop."
Huge thank you to @linuxgameconsortium.com for this thoughtful review.
An early development screenshot of idle game Familiar Findings. On the left is some very basic 2D pixel art showing slimes. On the right, a selection screen for upgrades of various "monsters" with basic pixel art of slimes, beasts, undead, dragons, flora and demon monsters.
An updated screenshot of the current gameplay of Familiar Findings. The menu is now shaped like a book with tabs to open other pages. There is a selection screen where the user can choose between a dragon, a ghost or a two-tailed cat. On the right is a summoning circle. On the bottom of the screen are two baby dragons, a cat and a panda with a bamboo scarf. There is an elf-like witch in the bottom right screen in dragon armour with long white hair. A scroll above their head depicts the mana.
This #screenshotsaturday we're going to be a bit sentimental with the launch of the game on Monday. How it started vs. how it looks now!
The game has come such a long way in such a short amount of time and we can't wait for people to see it.

Screenshot from the codex of the grimoire from the witch Idle Game Familiar Findings. It shows a drawing of a four-legged blue creature with small pink horns and purple mousey ears. The tail of the creature is a blue flame. The text reads: Fidel Tier 4 Spirit Fauna Scholars Notes: These creatures value loyalty and always keep their word. They usually serve as overseers of various pacts made by Witches. A contract sealed using their spirit flames is unbreakable. Avia's Notes: One time, I promised Grandma I'll do the dishes and a Fidel overheard us. It chased me around the hut until I did it!
Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.
Fidel is a Tier 4 Spirit - Flora hybrid. They were originally designed by our artist @demeru.itch.io long before this game began development!

Screenshot from the codex of Idle Fantasy Game Familiar Findings. The image depicts a blue teddy-like slime riding on a cloud with glitter covering its body. The text names it as a Dewdrop, Tier 4 Slime Familiar. Text reads: Scholar Notes: These delicate familiars need constant humidity to avoid drying out. Their mucin is highly sought after in skincare and cosmetics for its hydrating and regenerative properties. Avia's Notes: Just holding one leaves my hands feeling soft and hydrated. Potions with their mucin are outrageously expensive so I like to make my own.
Counting down a Familiar a day until the launch of our game Familiar Findings on February 9th.
Featuring more of our Slime Family. Today we have the Tier 4 Slime, the Dewdrop. We had so much fun writing the codex entries for this one.
