Hi guys!
Time for another quick news shout about what we've been up to since the game launched short ago.
Hosting an event at our local game merch store
We like to include people in what we do physically as well as online. So next Sunday we have made arrangements with Epic Panda, a place that sells retro game t-shirts, fantasy card games, 8bit NES and other consoles plus a bunch of other cool stuff, and they are lending us the place to present the game.
We hope to attract many gamers, and will all be there to talk about the game, let everyone play it and generally enjoy a day of cozy, dark humored Christmas mood fun.
We hope to shoot some video/pictures as well!

What you can expect in the next patch
As you have possibly read already, we had to patch the game right after the release because of a critical bug.
One player reported a savefile issue while updating however, and we had to look into that.
But now we are preparing a second patch. We want to include some Steam achievements. There is still some unwanted effects we now have the time to get rid of, a few sound glitches the most noticable one after beating Mrs. Evilhead, and the pause in the flying stage after escaping Robot will be handled too.
The achiements might be postponed sadly, as the public API made available by Steam is compiled in MS Visual Studio and relies on us to use the same compiler. Luckily our programmer likes a challenge, so he's working on setting that up and finding out if such a massive change has undesired consequences :)=
After the release
Releasing games is great fun! We have contacted lots of let's players, and seeing their immediate reactions to playing our game has been amazing! They give us great feedback, and we've already had some interesting talks in the comment section of their videos among other places. This is why we make games! It's simply so rewarding that nothing can replace it <3
Thank you everyone for helping us see this, for all of the ongoing support, and the laughts you have given us through the videos and comments after the ups and downs of building a game from scratch and getting it on the Steam store.
So grateful
Giant Goblin
