This charming reboot hopes to inspire a new generation of future programmers.

BROOKLYN, New York, USA – 22nd May 2025 – ChipWits, Inc. is excited to share that their reboot of the original ChipWits is coming to Steam with a demo releasing May 28th. Inspired by the early Macintosh game, old and new players alike can find a passion for programming in this nostalgic automation, programming game.

From Floppy Disks to Steam

The original ChipWits debuted for Macintosh in 1984, developed by Doug Sharp and Mike Johnston. A game for all ages, ChipWits was created to teach players the basic principles of computer programming using a visual programming language of pictorial action chips placed on a chip board. Users chained together these chips to automate a ChipWit through a series of tasks and challenges. Receiving rave reviews and awards from leading magazines at the time like Byte, MacUser, and COMPUTE!, a reimagination of this nostalgic game is now coming to Steam. 

Inspiring New Programmers

This current reboot of the 1984 game began back in 2023. The small team led by co-creator of the original ChipWits, Doug Sharp, and lead engineer, Mark Roth, are looking to bring this nostalgic classic to a new generation of fans. Mark Roth himself was first introduced to the original ChipWits in elementary school, by his 5th grade teacher. A programmer now, Mark personally credits the game with sparking his interest in the field. The team hopes to create similar experiences for new players of ChipWits.

“I’m proud that ‘ChipWits’ inspired young coders in the 80s and even prouder that it will inspire a new wave of coders–young and not-so-young–40 years after Mike Johnston and I created it,” shared Doug Sharp.

A Modern Makeover

ChipWits modernizes the retro original with updated graphics and music. New items, chips, missions, challenges, and an online leaderboard round out the additional features. Just like its predecessor, players are faced with a series of missions to complete by programming their little ChipWit robot. Every puzzle is open-ended, giving players the freedom to experiment with different chip combinations and encouraging everyone to find their own solutions. For those looking for an additional challenge, the global leaderboards track level scores, number of chips used, and number of steps taken, with lean and efficient programs coming out on top.

A ChipWits demo will be arriving on Steam this May 28th. Players can solve their way through 15 different levels, including two ChipWit Challenges, and two classic missions from the original 1984 ChipWits! The main story missions are set in Professor Chip’s Factory, where players will automate their ChipWit across the factory floor, maneuvering around obstacles and moving items to complete tasks. ChipWit Challenges are an expanding catalog of standalone puzzles that will be updated regularly. Demo players can always come back and access the two most recent challenges for free as they are published.

Gameplay Features:

• A Legacy Reboot: Bringing the original 1984 game to a new generation of gamers, an accessible introduction to programming.
• Easy to Learn: No prior experience required. Learn how to control your ChipWit in the step-by-step tutorial that will have you programming in no time.
• Hard to Master: Missions build upon themselves with new challenges, chips, and mechanics. Later levels can have players using over a hundred chips across multiple chip boards.
• Efficiency is Key: Optimize your solutions to maximize your score, minimize the number of chips used, and minimize the number of steps in your program to secure a top spot on the global leaderboards!
• ChipWit Challenges: An expanding collection of standalone puzzles that challenge the ChipWits community to compete for the highest score or most efficient solution. Complete past challenges and check back regularly for new ones!
• Old and New: 8 original classic missions from the first ChipWits, and over 55 new puzzles and missions with revamped chips and mechanics will be in the full release.

Wishlist ChipWits now on Steam to be notified of development updates and the upcoming game release. A demo will be available on May 28th for players to experience.

Quorum Games reveals Call of Elyndra’s development in Godot, offering a 2.5D reimagining of where farming meets fantasy.

Dorado, Puerto Rico, 22 May 2025 | Quorum Games is excited to announce that their top-down RPG, Call of Elyndra, is coming soon to Steam with a brand new 2.5D look. Inspired by beloved retro RPGs, Call of Elyndra invites players to create their own protagonist, nurture the land, and fight to protect the city of Elyndra. 

A Hybrid RPG Like No Other 

Join a group of vagabonds brought together by a mysterious, shared prophetic dream. Now, they must help save Elyndra, a village threatened by an empire seeking to seize their land. The Elyndirans have entrusted you with a humble abode to call home. Now, you must earn their trust by helping the community in the village’s dire time of need. 

Your Farming Legacy

Whether you are drawn to peaceful farming or action-packed combat, Call of Elyndra offers two distinct play styles for your liking. Manage your dream estate by planting crops, fishing, raising livestock, and selling goods at the town market to earn gold. Tend to the unique needs of your garden by rotating your crops across four full seasons to maximize your yield. Complete narrative-driven farming quests that challenge you to cultivate your land, manage your crops, and continue to share your contributions with the townspeople to maintain your reputation in the village. Throughout your quests, you will gather resources to earn XP points to spend on farm-focused skill trees. These skills will improve your chances of obtaining higher-quality item drops, such as crops and gems. Additionally, you can enhance livestock breeding, boost your fishing success, and increase the normal growth time of plants.

Become A Trusted Warrior

If you’re feeling adventurous, head to the city’s outskirts and hunt imposing threats. Chain unique combinations of different fighting styles with your sword and bow while perfecting your timing on dodge rolls. Increase your reputation by undertaking brave and dangerous quests. As you explore various dungeons that feature environmental puzzles, you’ll gradually make your way to the center, where boss battles await. This exploration not only offers valuable loot, but also progresses the main questline narrative forward, uncovering the story behind the threats you face and the world around you. After completing quests, you will earn XP points to spend on a combat-focused skill tree. Improve your swordsmanship and archery skills to increase your attack damage and learn new abilities. Keep a close eye on your inventory and manage your equipment, making necessary repairs to ensure the durability of your gardening tools and weapons.

Join a Vibrant Community

During your downtime, visit the town to trade leftover resources for currency or use them to craft recipes for meals, clothing, or home customizations. Become an integral part of the community by completing errands to build relationships with the local villagers, each possessing unique skills that reflect their trades. Increase your affinity points with each villager to unlock special stat bonuses and gradually learn more lore about the village. Plus, discover new areas in different biomes with different quests!

Gameplay Features: 

• Retro Vibes: Play in a nostalgic retro style featuring sprite pixel art inspired by beloved RPGS.
• Two RPGS in One: Enjoy farming sim elements for a slow-paced, relaxing experience, or dive into real-time combat gameplay. You can also enjoy a combination of both!
• Six Skill Trees: Customize your character’s growth. Choose to become a gifted botanist, a skilled warrior, or a master of everything!
• Craft, Customize, and Build Your Dream Estate: Use the resources gathered throughout your journey to transform your home.
• Affinity Point System: Build relationships with villagers to unlock stat bonuses and uncover local lore.

Call of Elyndra will launch in early access for PC later this year. Make sure to add Call of Elyndra to your wishlist on Steam.
