Hello fellow Tamers!

We’ve got some exciting updates on Tin Tamer that we’ve been working incredibly hard on, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

One of the unique charms of Tin Tamer is its “Mint Tin” size – perfectly portable for taming on the go! However, we know that at such a small scale, achieving super crisp visuals can be a challenge. Previously, some elements might have looked a little blurry once printed. Well, we took that challenge head-on! The biggest news is that we’ve undertaken a significant visual overhaul. Almost all of our game assets – including all the fantastic creature images, the tamers themselves, and the various card elements – have been meticulously recreated in SVG or vector format. We then export everything into a high DPI PDF.

Honestly, this was a lot of work, but we believe the results will be worth it. The primary goal was to ensure that most of the words, icons, and art are now significantly clearer, sharper, and much more readable in the PDF format you’ll use for printing.

Now, full transparency: given the incredibly tiny “Mint Tin” dimensions we’re working with, there might still be a few super-fine details that retain a touch of softness. That’s just the nature of printing at such a compact size, and there’s not much more we can do there without changing the game’s core concept. However, we’re confident you’ll see a big improvement overall!

Beyond the vector conversion, we’ve also: Redesigned the layout and format a little: We’ve made some tweaks here and there for better visual appeal and usability.

Addressed some rules and provided more clarity: We’ve gone through the rulebook to clarify points and make the gameplay experience even smoother.

Changed a few Mintin Creature images: Keep an eye out for some refreshed artwork! And now for some really exciting news: we’ve just ordered a physical proof copy of the updated Tin Tamer through The Game Crafter! You can see the (not yet for sale!) page here: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/tin-tamer

Once the sample arrives, we’ll be giving it a thorough proofread. If it looks as good in our hands as it does on our screens, and we’re happy with the quality, we’ll officially make it available for you to purchase! We’re incredibly excited about these improvements and can’t wait for you to (hopefully soon!) get your hands on a sharper, more polished Tin Tamer. Thanks for your continued support!

Happy Taming!
