Hey villagers!

It has been a busy month at the studio. We are currently finalizing the release build and want to share a look at everything we have been putting together recently.

The Story is Complete

We finished the main story arc, covering the rest of the journey all the way to the finale and credits. New quests will take you into unexplored areas and introduce some late-game mysteries we are keeping under wraps so you can discover them yourself. We focused on packing more lore and humor into the conversations to give the adventure a proper send-off.

New Systems, Areas & Polish

We expanded the game with fresh mechanics and handled a lot of under the hood optimization to ensure a smooth experience.

• Unexplored Areas: We added brand new locations to discover, each bringing its own distinct atmosphere and late game mysteries.

• Revamped Progression: The equipment page has been completely redesigned with upgradeable tiers, alongside an expanded skill tree.

• New Tools & Mechanics: We introduced fresh crafting features like the Banquet Table, plus new tools and buildings to help automate your workload.

• Performance Updates: This build includes extensive optimization, general balancing, bug fixes, visual improvements, and new music tracks.

Steam Achievements

Achievements are fully integrated. We added a complete set of goals for you to track your progress and hit new milestones as you restore the village.

Controller Support

You can now play Suncraft with a controller. Full gamepad input is supported for crafting, clicking, and exploring, making it much easier to play away from your keyboard.

Thank you again for the ongoing support and feedback.

Stay cozy,

Spicy Tuna Games

The response to the demo has been incredible, and we know many of you are wondering what we have planned for the full release. We’ve been hard at work, and while we want to keep a few surprises under wraps, it’s time to share some of the cool new features you can expect!

A Mysterious New Area

We've expanded the map with a brand-new region. While we’re keeping its core mechanic a secret for now, we can say it will play a massive role in improving your stats!

Coins and Requests

You can now earn coins! Use your hard-earned currency to buy powerful blueprints that will make life in the village much easier. You'll also be able to purchase essential items, ingredients, and gems.

More Automated Abilities

This was one of the most requested features from the demo, and we made it a top priority to ensure gameplay doesn't feel repetitive or tedious. Expect to see new helpers alongside our cute little Ember, plus some very helpful machines to take the heavy lifting off your hands.

Story Elements

In the full release, you won't just learn about the village and the ancient Sun-Spire through quests alone. We've woven more natural story elements directly into the world to help you uncover the deeper mysteries of the village.

And there's much more that we are cooking (pun intended?).

Thanks for all your awesome support, we can't wait for you to experience the full game at the end of July,

The Spicy Tuna Team

As we're getting ready for our July release, we wanted to thank you for playing the demo, leaving reviews, and joining our community. We couldn't do this without you!

Hitting 10,000 wishlists is a huge milestone for us that we didn't anticipate at all! We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing support we've received from our community.

We are working hard behind the scenes to make sure the game is as perfect as we can get it for launch. By combining your feedback and all the great ideas we've gotten, together with the vision we had, we hope you will have a great time playing it.

Thanks again,

The Spicy Tuna Team

The Wait is Over!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the Suncraft Demo is now officially live and available for everyone to play!

This has been a massive journey for our small team, and seeing the community finally get their hands on the world we have been building is an incredible feeling. Whether you have been following us from the start or are just discovering the game today, we are so happy to have you here.

The time has come to open the doors to the village. We are officially inviting everyone to participate in the Suncraft Playtest.

Our goal for this phase is to gather broad feedback on the overall gameplay loop, technical stability, and world balance. Whether you are a fan of cozy adventures or a systems-driven player, your input is essential to making the game the best it can be.

How to Join:

We are excited to announce that the revamped Skill Tree is now live in the Demo!

We redesigned the Skill Tree system to move away from static numbers and boring stats boosts to focus on meaningful, game changing upgrades. This update introduces specialized automation skills to fuel your building processes, alongside significant improvements to the speed and efficiency of Ember.

What’s New:

• Impactful Automation: Unlock new skills to automate the fueling process.

• Ember Skills: Increase Ember speed and other various aspects of her.

• Storage Chests: Build this new structure to better organize your resources.

• Sprint Skill: By popular demand from our playtesters, you can now unlock a Sprint Skill to traverse the map at higher speeds.
