First and foremost, I want to give an earnest, personal Thank-You to all of the Early Access testers and Dollhouse Denizens that made this project possible. This game would have never come as far as it has if it wasn't for your wonderful feedback, support, and patience!

I'd also like to thank the individuals that helped contribute to the project in the form of music and other assets:

Antriksh Bali was the primary composer for TinkerQuarry, whom brought his talents to the project and created a truly incredible auditory experience for the games' many locations + battle sequences. In conjunction with the games' v1.0 update, Bali has released the TinkerQuarry Original soundtrack on a variety of streaming platforms, which you can check out below. It would mean a lot to all of us at Caprizant Games if you'd consider supporting him by purchasing the album!

NOTE: The songs in-game have been lightly edited/cut for better playback with RPGMaker2003's music looping. The only way to get the full, High-Quality versions is by checking out the links above!

Further honorable mentions:

Julia Harkin, the original musician whom created a few tracks for the game during its Pre-Beta and Beta periods (before the game was even on Steam!) Her work can be found on Tumblr.

Ender, for being both a fantastic friend and worldbuilding partner, with whom I'd frequently bounce back and forth ideas and concepts for the game.

Lemony, Luka, Jess, and Brandon, for being incredible Discord moderators and testers, as well as close irl friends who have helped me a ton personally over the near-5 year development of this game.

CircusPuma, for creating and managing the TinkerQuarry TV Tropes page since 2017.

Jack, who owns the real-life inspiration for Peter / Peter's design.

and finally Bituin-Queen, for creating Odettes' iconic Music Box theme!

The Future

So, what's next, you may be asking? I've already touched on the subject briefly before in other news updates, but for the sake of a recap and overall reiteration, here's what I currently have planned.

• TinkerQuarry will continue to receive periodic updates post v1.0. This will most likely include visual updates (new assets, artwork, etc.), and minor bugfixes / changes if needed (any remaining errors, dialogue, syntax, etc.).

• There will not be any more main plot-related changes that will massively impact current in-game switches, so the game can continue to be playable in its current state no matter the save from here on out. (as Opposed to Early Access, where resets frequently had to be made)

• The addition of more recruitable characters aside from the current cast is being tested.

• Support for the TinkerQuarry Discord Server will continue for as long as it is relatively active

• New projects and games will be announced via this Discord and other social media

That's all for now! I hope you enjoy TinkerQuarry v1.0 and I am looking forward to both providing continued support and new content down the road!
