Good morning, dear citizens of Clockwork Town!

It's been a while since we broadcast on this radio wave. We hope you're holding up well!

Today we have a few news items, all of which should please you.

GREMLINS, INC.

We still love this game, support its community, maintain servers in Europe and in Asia, run tournaments – and even work on new content.

NEW CARD

With this update, Gremlins, Inc. receives a new card in the deck –

ːcardsː Change of Policy

Played at: Gamble spots
Move points: 3
Cost: FREE
Type: normal
Copies in deck: 2

Special rule:

Discard your hand.

Before blaming the current failures on the predecessors in the office, it is recommended to check first, whether there was a predecessor.

This card is played at the Gamble spot, because changing your whole hand is also a form of a gamble.

SMALL FIXES HERE AND THERE

This update also includes a number of small fixes, mostly dealing with spelling mistakes or missing translations (including some CZ language tags). If you know of a bug somewhere in the game, please let us know, and we'll try to hunt it down.

NEW TOURNAMENT

The next tournament of Gremlins, Inc. is scheduled to start on:

ːfirstplaceː July 10, 2026 ːfirstplaceː

Get ready! Bring your fireproof pants!

GREMLINS, INC. – CARDS & PROJECTS

This new game is in focus for our development since last September, and we finally reached the stage when we can open Steam Playtest. It feels so good to see you guys trying the new project!

SYNERGY WITH THE NEW CARD GAME

This week's update is the first time when we introduce a new card to 2 games at the same time: ːcardsː Change of Policy was added simultaneously to the decks of both Gremlins, Inc. and Gremlins, Inc. – Cards & Projects.

This is how we see the bright future: that the existing community of Gremlins, Inc. will benefit from our new game in development (Cards & Projects), because we are able to add content to both games at once. It's a win-win situation.

PLAYTEST OF CARDS & PROJECTS: OPEN!

Any kind of synergy between two games is only possible when... yep, when there's a second game!

And a few days ago, we started the Steam Playtest of our new card game set in the world of gremlins:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/860560/Gremlins_Inc__Cards__Projects/

Some of you may have heard about it back in 2021, when we experimented with a Nintendo Switch version; others may even have had a chance to play the printed edition, which we released around Gamescom 2015. It's been a long time coming, waiting for the opportune moment when our team could fully focus on this project – and now it happened. Hip. Hop. Hurray.

The playtest version is available in Chinese (Simplified), Russian, Japanese and English, and offers single-player and multiplayer sessions in peer-to-peer duel mode, with leaderboards. German and French languages are expected in the autumn, when the game transitions to Early Access. No other languages are currently in the plan – we look at wishlist regions, and work from there.

At the moment, close to 5.000 players have joined it, with some of the community veterans already displaying excellent results and impressive record of victories (our dev team members have been steamrolled during a few amazingly dynamic sessions, and now we will show no mercy to anybody who pretends not to know how to steal score points!!).

If you would like to try this new game, you can request access by pressing the green button on its page, which looks like this:

We would love to see you try that game out, and to hear about your first impressions. The duel session in Cards & Projects lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.

Once you join the Playtest, you can invite up to 3 friends. And by the time when you will read it, we might already have Private Sessions added, so that you may play a duel with the people you know well (if we can give you one piece of advice: show no mercy! Veteran players learn fast!).

Throughout the summer, we will be 100% focused on Cards & Projects, and expect it to launch in Early Access later in 2026, with the server architecture and competitive ranked system. Other features, like sessions for 3 and 4 players, and team mode, are coming later – we will work on them once we are already in the Early Access mode.

WHAT'S NEXT?

We already started working on the next new card, which will be played at the Misfortune spot (Gremlins, Inc.) and in the action slot (Cards & Projects).

If you have any bug reports or feedback to share, on any of these two games – please let us know, here on Steam forums or on the Discord server.

Many thanks, and big hugs, to all those who already submitted feedback. It's been amazing to hear from all of you!

With best regards,

Your CO dev team.
