Name your shop, and yourself
Your own name on the sign over the door and on the board beside your stall at a craft fair. Pick your pronouns too, because people write to you.

The roadmap
Three columns and no dates. Things move between them when a printer jams or a better idea turns up, which happens more than we would like to admit. The game itself is already out, so you can play it free while these get built.
Now
On the bench
The first letter
A local starts sending orders. One tugboat, facing the door, and a mailbox on the garage door that puts its red flag up when there is post to read.
Play it nowSound in the garage
A printer hum under everything and soft sounds for the little moments, with a slider for each on the days you would rather have quiet.
Play it nowA tugboat you can actually print
The Tiny Tugboat as a free STL with a print profile, and a code under the hull that unlocks something in game.

Drawn up
Shut the shop, open a better one
File your patents and start the garage again. You get there faster every time, and nothing you care about is left behind.
Tell me when this landsThe rented unit
Chapter two. A room with a door that locks, about twenty printers, and a lease that the cat co-signs.
Tell me when this landsSomebody to watch the printers
Managers take over the jobs you are tired of doing. Every card is earned in game. Real money never buys one.
Tell me when this landsColor, and what it costs
Four colors in one printer, and a growing pile of purge beside it. Three materials, each badly behaved in its own way.
Tell me when this landsLater
No date, no promises
The warehouse
Chapter three. Printers by the rack, and contracts big enough that somebody across town wanted them too.
Tell me when this landsHoliday farms
A separate little farm for the season, with its own rules and its own shop. Miss one and it comes back next year.
Tell me when this landsThe factory floor
A grid you lay out yourself. Put a printer next to the right station and both of them speed up.
Tell me when this landsThe harbor at the end of everything
The last chapter, and the silly one. You finally find out what the first tugboat was for.
Tell me when this landsOne letter per update
Letters from the Harbormaster
What changed, what is coming, and the occasional note from a customer who only buys tugboats.
