Last guesses on the new marriage candidates? Sandy? The Wizard? Gus? Someone entirely new?

Finding a bug right before and after launch is a dev right of passage.

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!

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 wp.me/p70tPw-rvz

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? #Fantasy #creaturecollector #Idlegame

Concept sketch for Avia. She is wearing red and purple dragon replica armour with a red cape and purple headband. She is an elf with white hair in buns and blue eyes.

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... #Cozygame #Idler #Steam

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. #Idlegame #Indiegame #Fantasygame #Steam #cozygame

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.

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! #Idlegame #Indiegame #Fantasygame #Steam #cozygame
