Desktop Gremlins 3.1: A New Character, Personal AI, and More Chaos!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey there! 👋 A new fluffy friend joins the gremlins in this update, alongside personal AI conversations, new pranks, and more settings for streamers.

🐺 Meet the Wolf!

A new level 9 character with seven unique animations and a personality of his own. Loyal, curious, and a little mischievous. Available right away!

💬 Your Personal AI Companion

You can now talk directly to your gremlin in Character settings. No Twitch connection is required for personal conversations.

You can also let your gremlin comment on the names of open apps and window titles. This feature is optional and only enabled with your permission.

Compatible Chat Completions, Responses, Anthropic, Gemini, and Ollama APIs are supported. Enter your own endpoint and API key to use your chosen connection for both your personal gremlin and Twitch chat.

🎁 Automatic Twitch Rewards and Purchase History

Selected Channel Points rewards are now created automatically when the game starts and removed when you fully quit the game normally. Completed redemptions are confirmed, while unfinished ones are canceled and refunded before the rewards are removed. Your other channel rewards remain unchanged.

Purchase history lets you check reward execution status and request refunds for unfulfilled redemptions that Twitch allows you to refund.

🔎 Pre-Stream Check

One button checks your Twitch connection, OBS sources, and reward queue. If something needs attention, you can jump to the relevant settings or purchase history.

📊 Customize Your OBS Statistics

Adjust colors, fonts, opacity, compact layout, and visible stats in the notification editor. Your settings are saved.

We also fixed EXP display: it no longer exceeds the maximum, completed evolution displays MAX, and OBS statistics show the selected character’s level.

Viewers can now type !stats or !статистика to receive a short, in-character reply about the gremlin’s needs and EXP. The command works without AI and does not trigger desktop notifications.

🛡️ Protect Your Windows

Choose which apps window pranks must never touch. Your selection is saved between sessions. Desktop Gremlins, OBS, and Streamlabs are protected automatically.

🔔 More Notification Controls

Individually enable or disable viewer banners, gremlin speech bubbles, chat animations, co-op messages, app reactions, and automatic AI comments.

You can mute local notifications while keeping the gremlin’s Twitch chat replies active.

🎲 Secret Challenges and New Pranks

Introducing Screen Decoder and Rune Memory! These challenges appear through automatic Chaos or Channel Points rewards, including in OBS-only mode. There is no manual test button, so your first encounter will be a surprise!

Fail a challenge, and a random effect allowed by your Chaos settings will trigger.

New effects also include Window Boomerang, Window Accordion, Cursor Comet, and Cursor Constellation.

🛠️ Expanded Effect Builder

Layers, timeline controls, undo and redo, more precise previews, and JSON project import and export. More tools to create your own pranks!

🖥️ Better Window Controls

Press F11 to expand the menu or Creator Studio, and Esc to return to the normal view. Creator Studio opens above the main menu, the support button stays in the title bar, and you can now open the menu from the system tray.

Shutdown has also been improved: the app stops its background helper processes when you quit.

Thank you to everyone sharing ideas, reporting bugs, and giving the gremlins a home on your desktop ❤️
