Hey Goblins! 👋
We're now a week on from our Steam Early Access launch, and we have been thrilled to see your positive feedback towards our game! 💚 Over the last week, our tiny team has been focused on addressing your launch feedback in adjustments and bug fixes to bring you more improvements to Goblin Cleanup.
We're excited to announce that a second patch for Goblin Cleanup will arrive very soon. Patch 2 brings a long list of improvements, QoL adjustments, and bug fixes. This builds upon our first patch, which we launched at the end of last week.
We're aiming for Patch 2 to release next week and will keep you updated on this via our Goblin Discord server. Here are some main additions that our next patch will bring:
Addition of an ability to scan for pickable objects that need resetting, alongside tweaks to make the object scanning more noticeable!
Balancing the current levelling system to bring down the thresholds of experience needed per experience level. This will make it easier for you to obtain some cosmetics options that are difficult to obtain with the current levelling system.
Change to the completion percentage of Level Challenges across all levels, from its current Cleanup 100% to Cleanup 85% after Patch 2. (Please note, we may change this back to 100% at a later date, but this alteration will allow for more players to achieve the Level Challenge and mitigate problems with the 100% Cleanup challenge if you experience any issues when cleaning up a level.)
Even more Bug Fixes & Improvements from the community's launch feedback!
We'd like to use this time in between patches to discuss what we have in store for after Patch 2. Our First Major Content Update will arrive after Patch 2, as we turn our attention back to game content!
Here's a first look at what you can expect from our future Content Updates:
Firstly, we've heard your comments, and Male Goblins will arrive in our first Content Update! Alongside the addition of Male Goblins in Content Update 1, we're also aiming to bring some Male-presenting outfit options in this Content Update for added Goblin customisation!
At Early Access launch, we held off releasing with Male Goblins, as we wanted more outfit options to be ready with the addition of Male Goblins, so you could customise your character to your liking!
Our aim with customisation is to make all our outfit customisation options available to select from and equip, regardless of whether you choose a Male or Female Goblin model. This may not be fully implemented from our first Content Update, but we'll continue to develop our customisation features throughout Early Access to ensure all outfit options are available, no matter what you select. Overall, we aim to provide you with the best Goblin Maid customisation options possible during Steam Early Access and beyond!
After implementing Male Goblin Models, we'll bring three new levels to Goblin Cleanup in our second content update. This will complete both The Dark Tower and Floor 4 of our first dungeon! And some of you may have spotted our teaser icon... what will be waiting for you at the end of the dungeon in Floor 4?
We're excited to expand our dungeons in many Content Updates throughout our period of Steam Early Access. We aim to bring you varied levels to reset with your Goblin friends, special monsters to face, and unique challenges to experience during your cleaning adventures!
