The crew at Mighty Merch are just the cutest, to see the full song-n-dance, head here.

HOW THINGS CHANGE

Thought it'd be fun to show you some comparison shots from one of the earliest builds we can find, almost exactly 3 years old!

This view didn't change all that much in terms of camera position, even after all this time!

Wow, back when we split the customer bench into "keep" and "sell" sections.

The customer view might be the view with the most significant changes - look at that crowded street!

Player customisation makes all the difference in the most recent version. Oh, and actual textures on the stairs.

Um... I guess the old build needed a bit of a lighting pass. But also we moved the camera in a lot too!

WHAT'S THE VIBE?

Hungarian <- thanks so much to our wonderful community member Brechler Zsolt for this!

COMMUNITY FUN

Of course we keep talking about our wonderful community, so we had a couple of community highlights to share! One dedicated player in our Discord - the very talented Han - has been working on making colour-matched trinkets for characters in the game!

We never imagined the recolouring gameplay could bring so much creativity out of players, and this is just the tip of the iceberg!

And then there's the Trash Goblin wiki, which certain members of our playerbase have really been dedicating a lot of time and effort to so we wanted to officially thank Han, Myrrien, HamsterMilk, Kenzie, GreenishLady, Kittie, Crystal Dreams, APN, Minty Kitty and more for all their cataloguing efforts!

Merchandise Progress Update

  1. Digital Rewards are going out in the coming days, we're literally just wrangling the backend system to send it all out!

  2. We're closing the late pledges precisely 1 week from now! So if you've been umm-ing and ah-ing about a purchase, now's the time.

Please do fill in your survey if you haven't because we need that info and it holds everything up to wait. Remember you can update your delivery address later!

So in a week we'll have closed late pledges and planning to open the permanent Merch Store over on Mighty Merch - exciting times!

Until next time, Stay goblin!
