With Steam Next Fest around the corner - it starts on Monday! - we've been hard at work making the brand-new demo as perfect as it could be.
Well, as perfect as it could be given the usual constraints of talent, time, effort and the laws of physics.
BRAND NEW DEMO
We're streaming the brand new demo out live on twitch right now! Kieran and Anthony will be touring you through the whole thing, and you should definitely tune in for a few surprises!
And we aren't stopping there - the demo is out right now, ahead of the Next Fest!
We'd love you to play it and tell us what you think, but honestly, if you're waiting for the ideal time, then between 14th and 21st October is the time any true Goblin would play it, as the more people playing it during the Next Fest the more other gamers will have it recommended, which means more wishlists, which means more goblins!
WHAT'S IN THE DEMO?
I don't want to spoil too much but here's a quick rundown:
- The first 20-ish minutes of the game are brand new!
- We've reworked the basic controls considerably! Scary, but needed doing!
- We've taken the Stash Book off the Workbench and Customer Area... but where is it now
- Expansion & Customisation. I'll leave it at that... but this is a particularly cool feature we're excited to have you play!
- A big part of the game is intended to be customising your space. In preparation for that, we've dressed down some of the areas in the shop.
Basically, if you've played the previous demo then you'll miss a few characters and there are a limited set of 20 trinkets in this new demo, but there's a lot more to do. And worry not, they'll be back before you know it!
GOBLIN FEST
Never one to be outdone by a little company like Valve, we've also been running Goblin Fest this week to drum up interest in Goblin games of all shapes and sizes, and you can check that out on in our discord where we post links and summarise every day!
Monday's was all about Peglin, and the devs of that game went all out and have been making fan art of all the games! Here's yesterday's cutie!
Until next time, please do play the demo and let us know what you like and dislike, and let us know about any bugs too!
