Hello friends!
December has been and gone, and the new year begins! While there’s plenty of exciting things to look forward to for TNgineers in 2023, let’s have a quick recap of the final month of 2022:
Discord Clean-up
We’ve cleaned up the TNgineer’s Discord and added some of the new forum channels, including the new “grid” view forums!
You can now view a preview of all the devlogs for both APICO and FTBS in the new forum channels, as well as share your cute APICO bases in the new APICO Pics channel. Come check them all out over in our Discord.
“The Science Behind” Stream
Twitch steamer enceladosaurus and PhD student Alex Hart teamed up to stream APICO and talk about the science behind the game, commenting on similarities, differences, and general interesting science tidbits.
If you’re interested in how “realistic” APICO is or just a general love for biology and science it’s definitely worth catching the VOD of the stream (and maybe give them both a follow too!)
What’s Mastodon?
There was a lot of movement to Mastodon by a large chunk of Twitter users, for us it was mostly fellow game developers rather than players though.
However if you’re using Mastodon and want to follow along with stuff, Ell has made one over on gamedev.social so you can get your Elon-free TNgineer news there instead if you like!

Steam Winter Sale
The Steam Winter Sale began on 22nd December and ends 5th January - which means you still have time to pickup APICO for 25% off, or the OST for 50% off. The next sale won’t be until late spring (or when the next content update for APICO is out), so better make the most of it!
If you want to be notified of when it’s on discount, you can wishlist our stuff over on Steam.
So that’s a wrap on December! We’ve got a lot of fun things in store for 2023, and can’t wait to share it with you all.
Love,
Ell & Jamie <3
