Tinker & Spell
Description
Tinker and Spell was a playable demo developed between 2019 and 2022, while working at Golden Age Studios (in Adelaide, South Australia).
Although the project did not secure funding and the full game was never brought to market, the demo earned a strong reputation at events like PAX (Australia) and Gamescom (Germany), for its fast-paced combat, responsive character controls, and a large, vibrant world that felt alive.
Work on another prototype began called Seeker Neeko. This focused more on the creature taming and collectables elements:
