Hello Goblinz,

We have a lot of news lately, so we thought it would be really cool to give you a little summary here!

As you probably know, Goblinz is focused on strategy and management games, and we strive to offer you high-quality games with our selection.

We regularly offer demos so you can get hands-on experience before buying!

Today, Synergy is being released, a beautiful city builder inspired by Pharaoh and Frostpunk. The game is developed by Leikir Studio and you will have 10% off the 2 first weeks!

Sandwalkers will have a new prologue, this time focusing on gameplay rather than the story. It will be released on June 4th. And we can already announce that Sandwalkers will be available in Early Access before this summer.

The demo of Mini Settlers is a huge hit with more than 80,000 players in the last three weeks! If you haven't tried it yet, you can find it here. Mini Settlers is an automation game similar to Factorio but much simpler, like Mini Metro.

Hello everyone,

As part of the Pirates vs Ninjas Fest, we have a new update available for you now, which we are detailing just below.
The reason we are doing this is that we believe the game's current content and replayability justify such a price. Considering we will also add more content for the 1.0 launch and continue supporting the game afterward to make it the most complete game possible.

That's why we have applied a 30% discount to the game, so this is your last chance to grab it at this price for a while.
We hope you will understand our decision, which we truly believe is fair.

Hey there!

Pushing some fixes live since they were potentially softlocking the game :

• Fixing an issue with the gamepad in the shop ending up in stucking the selector and softlocking the game unless played with mouse-keyboard. This was mostly linked to sacrifying a tile in the shop
  
  
• Fixed an issue with the Jujitsuka when yeeting throwing the Shogun with 1hp on an ennemy, that ended up in softlocking the game

We've reached the next major milestone of the Early access. The big star of this update is the new hero, the Jujitsuka!
We're so excited for you to get your hands on this new hero and the new mechanic! (That I personally call the Yeeting, but you'll see more when trying it :D)
Along this new hero, Elites ennemies are coming, new skills, new tiles, and more! Please find the complete changelog below !

In addition, we'll be discounting the game, so you can GRAB SHOGUN SHOWDOWN AT -20%, LASTING 24 HOURS!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/Shogun_Showdown/

• New Hero: Introducing The Jujitsuka
  
• New Gameplay Mechanic: Elite Enemies make their debut from Day 3
  
• 4 New Tiles (Scar Strike, Signature Move, Meteor Hammer, Kaitenryuken)
  
• 4 New Skills (Combo Deal, Monomancer, Karma, Cursing Move)
  
• 4 New Quests (Steel Summit, Honorable Death, One-Way Hero and Frugal Fighter)
  
• New Enemy: Yumi Sniper
  
• New Location: Hibiku Wastelands
  
• New Boss: Baru the Barricader

• Tweaked Back Strike tile: from 2DMG, 1CD to 3DMG, 3CD
  
• Tweaked Perfect Strike: +2CD -> +1CD
  
• Tweaked Combo-Recharge:
  - Level 1: recharge 4CD on the tile dealing the combo kill.
  - Level 2: recharge 8CD
  
• Tweaked spawning probability distributions
  
• New attack pattern for Nobunaga

We do hope you'll like this additions to the game, if you do, take a bit of your time to review the game, that definitely helps us! (In addition to make us smile, which is great!)

Hey there, just a little update fixing some stuff we/you found!

Changelog :

• Fixed a bug where the game would soft-lock in the shop if you sacrificed a tile when using the gamepad
  
• Fixed a bug where Fullscreen mode option was displayed in the wrong language
  
• Fixed a bug where Offscreen inputs could mess up with the game
  
• Fixed a bug with French localization displaying a button wrong
  
• Fixed a display issue with "Perfect Strike" description

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to announce that the first goal of our roadmap is there!


This does mean that you can play the game with your favorite controller! As some of you might have seen already, we've been able to get the "Steamdeck Verified" check so that's also great news for Steamdeck people!

Some of you might not be aware though, there is a little bad news. We wanted to get the key/button binding in this update too, however we had some difficulties having it ready and tested yet. We'd rather publish the gamepad update without it since a lot of people were waiting for it.

Key and buttons remapping is still in the pipe and is definitely happening, you just have to be a bit more patient, and we'll give you more news as we'll have some to share!
For now you'd have to use the default layout, don't hesitate to play the tutorial again to get familiar with it!

Along with bug fixing, here's the major changes for the 0.6 version :

• Gamepad support.
  
• Steam Deck compatibility.
  
• New tile enchantment: Perfect Strike.
  
• Increased max skull limit to 9999.

We'll be releasing more minor updates with improvements on the input system (e.g. key rebinding), so let us know your thoughts!
Stay tuned for the next major update, which will be all about new content!

Cheers,

~Mirko and Goblinz team
