    You’re a dog wielding a magic paintbrush! Use color to explore, solve puzzles and make friends. From creators on Wandersong + Celeste.

    We’ve been following Greg Lobanov’s work on this game, formerly known as Drawdog as the working title, and now we have the full title and the whole picture (pun intended)! Greg Lobanov is an indie game designer based in Vancouver, Canada, and has designed, programmed, and written many indie games. For example: Wandersong, Coin Crypt, Phantasmaburbia, and more. Chicory: A Colorful Tale launched on Kickstarter just yesterday and before we even got the chance to write this article, it surpassed its goal! With 29 more days to go, you can still make a pledge on the Kickstarter campaign here and get in on those rewards/backerkits!

    About Chicory: A Colorful Tale

    Chicory: A Colorful Tale is an adventure game about a dog wielding a magic paintbrush! Use the power of art to explore, solve puzzles, help your animal friends and restore color to the world. The Brush is a one-of-a-kind artifact that can color the world. Naturally, it needs a wielder, a master artist responsible for all colors and for passing the brush down. The current wielder, Chicory, is immensely talented and beloved by all… until all the color in the land vanishes, and her with it! I guess that leaves it up to you, her number one fan, to take up the brush and fill in for her. Hmm… good luck!

    Key Features

    • Explore the Picnic Province, and draw on anything!
    • Manipulate the environment with your paint and solve puzzles!
    • Unlock new paint abilities and use them to reach new places!
    • Collectible clothes, plants and furniture to dress your character and the world how you want!
    • A world full of animal characters to meet and befriend!
    • Local co-op! Play with your friends and draw together!

    Kickstarter Rewards and Merch

    The creators of Chicory have put together some really awesome in-game rewards as well as various artwork and merchandise created by the team’s very own artists; Alexis Dean-Jones and Madeline Berger. In addition, that team also includes: Lena Raine and Em Halberstadt, the composer and sound designer respectively. See the list below for the goodies you can look forward to as a backer.

    • A Digital Art Book, full of promo art, sketches, concepts, unused characters, notes, and other loose ends from our creative process!
    • A backer-exclusive enamel pin, designed by game artist Alexis Dean-Jones and produced + shipped with the help of the Yetee! There are 2 points for this pin to fasten with so it’s extra-stable, and so you can angle it any way you like! 
    • A sticker sheet of black-and-white in-game characters designed by game artist Alexis! 
    • backer-exclusive t-shirt, designed by game artist Madeline Berger! 
    • Your art in the game! Your black-and-white drawing or writing could appear in an art gallery, scratched on a tree, as graffiti on a wall, a picture in someone’s house, or somewhere else! 
    • We’ll draw you an animal portrait! Immortalize yourself, your friend, your pet or your OC as a character in the style of the game.
    • You can design a piece of clothing that can be collected and worn in-game!
    • Your character will appear in-game! We’ll make an animal character based on you, a friend, a pet, or something original… and place them in the world of Picnic as a character you can meet!

    We here at myPotatoGames can’t wait to help Chicory paint the whole world! Most importantly, you’ll be able to too when the game releases sometime in “202X” on Steam (PC, Mac).

    In “To The Rescue”, the goal of the of the game is to treat all of your doggies real nice, so that they may reach a place where they are ready for forever homes. But it’s not all “cuddles and snoot boops”, as the devs mention. There are many to-do’s in your day to day that help ensure the best environment for each of your unique and charming doggos. The ultimate goal is to match each of your dogs traits with the proper traits of your visitors, making sure they go to a comfortable forever home.

Manage your resources, create new buildings, have creature pets find ingredients and guardians to protect your hive. There’s so much more to explore, magical characters and spells to discover, and puzzles to solve in this rich and enchanting world! We’re talking witches, fairies, woodland sprites and more!

    Lore

    The four insect tribes mentioned above even have their own pantheon of gods! Each of which will play a role in the game. There’s definitely ancient magic at work here.

    • Mara : the goddess of peace and harmony. Her servant is Yuna the guide, who you will meet very early on in the demo.
    • Angrith: the god of destruction, too be invoked in times of war. 
    • Nexir: the dark god of betrayal also exists, but his motives are shrouded in mystery.

    Subterfuge and Warfare

    You can create beacons from pebbles and other stuff lying around with the aid of a Beacon Spell. This will beguile the drones from an enemy hive. Furthermore, you can also use a Zealot as a spy to infiltrate an enemy hive and change its allegiance. When there are enemy hives that need squashing, you can grab a bunch of your drones and point them in their direction. You can also bring to life piles of old sticks to make a Stick Knight that will further defend your hive.

    Finally, the developer has fixed many bad bugs since the last demo so you might want to return to the Old Orchard and have another go! You can grow your Hive into a powerful kingdom in Hive Quest although just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view flying around is also a treat! Follow Rod Tyson on Twitter here to stay updated on Hive Quest’s progress.

    We absolutely love the indie gaming world, and some of our favorite titles are coming to Kickstarter very soon!

    Games created by independent developers always seem have just a touch more charm than games created by large companies. You can always feel that someone put a lot of love and care into what you are playing. Whether made by one driven and passionate individual, or a collective of like-minded innovators, indie games always have something new and exciting to offer. Creating video games is an amazing way to show the world what makes you special, and share a bit of your heart with all those who would have it.

    We at myPotatoGames pride ourselves for having developed a keen eye in finding wonderfully charming and surprisingly unique games. We do our very best to share everything we can about the games we find enthralling. A few of myPotatoGames favorites are soon going to be looking for funding to help their projects become the best that they can. Outside of creating the games themselves, what better way to help something wonderful become even more grand.

    This article is based on a very early demo version of the game.

    Littlewood is a new RPG where you play the role of a hero who has completed their quest of defeating the evil wizard, saved the world of Solemn, and is now trying to rebuild the town of Littlewood. Being developed by the indie developer Sean Young, Littlewood brings an interesting spin to the usual town building simulator by melding together aspects of familiar games like Minecraft and Animal Crossing

    In Littlewood, you get to fully customize your town. This doesn’t just include building homes for townsfolk, plotting farming areas, furnishing your home AND the townsfolk’s homes, but it also includes customizing the elevation of the land and choosing where to put bodies of water. This interesting element of customizing the terrain brings an extra touch to making the town your own.

    Along with customizing the terrain of your town, there are also tons of activities to keep you busy like gathering resources, catching bugs/fish, farming, cooking, crafting, buying/selling goods, building relationships with new friends, and even becoming a master of tarot card readings.

    Picture above is some of the interesting townsfolk you will get to know in Littlewood.

    Littlewood is scheduled for release in May 2019 and already has a Steam page, so there’s not much more of a wait. If you’d like to check out the game right now, there is a free demo over on the game’s Kickstarter.  

    Be sure to stay tuned to myPotatoGames for the latest information on Littlewood and other games.  Happy Gaming!
