The pawsibilities are endless with this week's companion!
🐾 Introducing the Cougar Sprout!! 🐾
While real cougars can jump 18ft high, it's not a leap to say this Sprout will still keep you on your toes. So you'll need the right cattitude if you want to land this purrfect partner.

Step right up and try your hand at one of Thicket's themed claw machines! 🕹️
Fully overhauled for multiplayer, we've squashed multiple bugs, added new sounds and visual effects and... drumroll... Sprout companions are now actual prizes you can win! 🥁🐦
#ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame
Aw that's lovely! They're such beautiful creatures.
This week we've got a fantastically cunning companion for you!
🦊Introducing the Red Fox Sprout!!🦊
They may have a reputation for skulking around, but don't let that fool you - foxes are curious, playful creatures, and this Sprout will have you kitted out and prepared for any adventure.

Getting the cat into the harness will be the hardest part! But maybe it'll enjoy walks outside enough to ignore how awkward the harness is.
...I can hope 😂
Oh heck yes! We've got to find the most fun looking cat toy on offer, only for the cat to be more interested in the packaging. 😺
Very nice! The upbeat music makes me feel very optimistic about whatever lies ahead that day!
You can't pull the wool over the eyes of this week's companion!
🐑Introducing the Sheep Sprout!!🐑
This ewenique critter enjoys watching people knit, being counted, and flocking towards tasty treats. Don't worry about any baaad habits; all's wool that ends wool with this sheep!

🐠 Introducing the Clownfish Sprout!! 🐠
Do you know why clownfish are always laughing?
Because anemones have tentickles! 🪸
If you prefer a companion that doesn't take things too sea-riously, you're sure to enjoy clowning around in #Thicket with this bubbly critter. 🫧

Now I'm picturing a ball pit but it's just hundreds of Sprouts, haha
The votes are in and our community named Gold-Laced Rukabird is officially nicknamed Cornelius!
This charming Sprout companion is now spreading its richly coloured wings in Thicket, and looking forward to accompanying you on many adventures in the future!

That would be absolute chaos will all the players running around with 20 Sprouts, but I would love to see it. Until it starts crashing people's games, at least 😂
Honestly I have no idea how I'll limit myself to 5 Sprouts when the game launches. They are all too cute (I'm totally not biased 😂)
Happy #WIPwednesday! 🛠️
We've been playing around with googly eyes on our Sprout companions!
We're not sure yet if we'll make them a permanent fixture, or have the eyes temporarily turn googly when you make a Sprout dizzy. What do you think? 👀
#WIP #indiegame #indiedev #UE5 #gamedev
Based on the screenshot, you fall off a cliff into seeming nothingness before randomly popping into a strange series of hallways in a never-ending office building.
I wonder if driving a car through the backrooms would make them feel more or less surreal. 🤔
This week's companion is ready to build something great with you!
🏗️ Introducing the Blue Crane Sprout!! 🏗️
Known for their leaping courtship displays, these graceful birds always strive for new heights. So if you'd like an inspiring partner, this Sprout is sure to keep your spirits high!
#indiegame
That gif is perfection 😂
Weather is an important aspect of Thicket. But who says it has to be normal weather? 😎🌦️
Happy #WIPwednesday!! 🛠️
We have been fuzzing... fuzzing up... fuzzifying?? some of our Sprout companions!
If you're feeling an overwhelming compulsion to cuddle them, we understand. We're trying to resist the urge to fuzzify everything now. 🧸
#WIP #indiegame #cozygame #survivalgame
Oh my gosh, and then it just rains fish. I'm here for that.
This week's companion is a fish out of water:
🐟 Introducing the Carp Sprout!! 🐟
Not only do carp seize the day (carpe diem, anyone?), but they're also great at catching air - they can jump up to 10ft!
The Sprout version probably won't leap up and whack you in the face though. Probably.

Ahhh, that sounds interesting too!
Makes sense! It'll be neat to see how you present it so that (presumably) everyone doesn't skew towards one choice.
With the way he is bopping I could totally see him rocking a little party hat 🥳
So when you say one choice, you mean at the end it boils down to one big decision, but there are lots of meaningful interactions along the way that help prepare you for that choice? Or something else?
Yesss, I am looking forward to more of Sunday! (Who isn't though, honestly?)
Oh that's really cool! Well, not being in danger. 😂 But secret routes!
