Issues fixed: Ghost gourdlet named "Null" In my previous patch, I added the ability to delete gourdlets. I did not realize that an issue would arise when you try to delete a gourdlet that is already included in a building's guest list. This patch fixes the issue. If anyone ran into this issue and got to a corrupt savefile, please feel free to reach out to me directly on discord and I will try t…
Ability to delete gourdlets!! Paintings change size when being moved Be able to move rug even if there is furniture on top of it Wall hangings flip on cam rotate Visual glitch on backs of paintings / wall hangings Deleting gourdlets has been requested since release, because if you invite too many guys over, the game starts to stutter. I wanted to spend a bunch of time testing this to make sure…
1. The Chinese and Japanese fonts had a lot of missing characters- that should now be fixed. Apologies to any players who experienced problems in these languages 2. Did a lot of coding changes that are not going to be visible to players, but makes it much easier for me to fix other bugs in future patches. Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to report bugs!
A small patch to fix some small bugs. Just little things that people have reported, nothing crazy. glitch if pressing (esc) during season change moving a house erases the name Building names keep resetting every time I close and open the game Smoke from Chimney unaligned at certain angle
I have been hard at work fixing the most reported / biggest issues that still exist in Gourdlets. Thank you so much to everyone who reported bugs and sent me savefiles! Note: if you want to report a bug, I try to read steam comments, but I am much more responsive in the gourdlets discord . I wish I could check steam comments regularly, but I am just 1 person and I am always trying to find the r…
Wall decor was disappearing when loading a savefile! This will now work going forward- it may or may not reload wall decor that was saved prior to this patch, but will will properly save and load going forward!
Hello gourd gang, I’m super excited to share what I’ve been working on for this next content update!

I tackled quite a few bugs in this one! bugs - Fix the line edit popup on steamdeck bug tracker link - Putting certain letters in your twitch username no longer makes the menu cycle bug tracker link - add a pause before saving is done bug tracker link (I'm uncertain whether this is the actual fix, so I'll keep an eye on this one- at worst my solution shouldn't affect gameplay) art / visual - up…
This should fix the issue that a small percent of users were experiencing, where the initial loading screen would fill up partway and then the game would crash. It seemed to mostly impact users with AMD graphics, and or people with older model macbooks. The cause of the issue was that the asset textures took up too much memory, which caused the VRAM to spike past the capacity of certain compute…
tl;dr: Added small changes to make it more clear when a controller was detected. Some people are inadvertently playing in controller mode with their mouse an keyboard (which is a pretty terrible ui experience) because it isn't clear in the game when a controller is autodetected. This patch adds a small label to the town creator screen saying whether the game is in mouse or controller mode, and…
Optimizations on the load screen- there are a small minority of players whos games crash on the splash screen or the load screen (once you start a new game), this should help that, though some of those players may still experience crashing.

Hello Gourdlet friends!

Dear Gourdlets fans, Did you see my cozy city builder at the 2023 Wholesome Direct? :) If not, then feel free to watch the new 30-second trailer below. It has a surprise toward the end that I think many of you will be happy about. That’s right – I’ve added farming to Gourdlets!

Dear Gourdlets fans, I am excited to announce some new updates for my cozy city builder game that I hope will make the demo more fun :) I have added *the most requested feature* - a paint bucket tool! Without it, building big islands took a LOT of clicking, hopefully this makes things a little easier. You can now quickly and easily fill in large areas with the click of a button. In addition, I…
