| Gobs 1.5.2 | 2026-07-27 | This patch focuses on making the UI more intuitive and the game more controller-friendly. It took me longer than expected, as I had to do an in-depth rewrite of the focus and navigation logic, and experiment a bit to find an intuitive configuration.For long-time players: the mouse buttons in combat have been swapped, left click now gives the basic orders. I think it's fast to get used to this setting, but if you prefer the previous one there an option for that.Here is the changelog:UILeft click is now used for the giving default order (I added an option to revert to the previous right click if you prefer.)The combat UI shows more clearly when |
| Patch 1.5.1 | 2026-04-01 | I received a few crash reports on the latest version, and they took some time to diagnose because there were no logs. I’ve now managed to reproduce the reported issues, and this patch fixes them: - Fixed a crash that could occur when opening the “Hire” window - Fixed a crash on launch affecting players who had played the demo two years ago and are now reinstalling - Improved the “Hire” UI to help prevent accidental hires If you encounter any other issues, please let me know so I can fix them! |
| Gobs and Gods 1.5 | 2026-03-09 | This update focuses on two main things:Visual improvements: your gobs now have eyesMuch higher replayability with new campaign starts and the Iron Gob modeNew campaign starts:When beginning a campaign, you can choose from several starting options:The normal start.Start with 5 gobs, skipping the early-game “tutorial” quests in exchange for higher gob wages.Start with the Chosen Gob: instead of the usual main quest, your goal is to keep the chosen gob alive and make him become the Supreme Grand Master.Iron Gob modeYou can select this option when starting a campaign to play without save scumming.

| Gobs and Gods — Update 1.4: God’s Path Rework | 2026-01-09 | Update 1.4 brings a major rework of the God’s Path system, new quests and lore, and a few new achievements to challenge you!God’s Path ReworkWhen making choices in many dialogs, you may get the opportunity to advance one of the three God’s Paths: Nurturing, Nerdy, or Sadistic.These paths already change the gobs available for hire, but we felt, and some players told us, that following a path should bring more meaningful rewardsWhat's new:the God’s Path window lets you track your advancement on each path (Sadistic / Nerdy / Nurturing).Killing a gob, overfeeding, or inventing potions now grants an advancement only the first time. The new Path Al |

If you observe a buggy-looking fog of war after reloading a save, go to the "Save" menu and click the "Fix Fog of War" button in the top right. It will regenerate fog of war almost identical to what should have been there at this point in the game. - Fonts: Changed how increasing font size works, focusing mostly on increasing small fonts.

| Gobs and Gods 1.3: More Mobs and Monsters! | 2025-06-01 | After six months without updates, we are thrilled to announce the release of the next big update to Gobs and Gods! This patch focuses on enhancing tactical combat. We’ve added a much wider variety of enemy mobs and reworked almost all existing enemies. These changes should make the late game far more diverse and challenging. Additionally, we’ve revamped several traits and skills that felt underwhelming. For example, ranged weapons have been redesigned to feel more distinct, and goblin traits have been updated to be clearer while always offering some (small) advantage. Looking ahead, we plan for the next major update to focus on adding more qu |
| patch 1.2.1 | 2025-01-28 | This is a minor patch containing only one fix, as the upcoming changes in the pipes are not yet ready and will take some time to complete: Fixed statue effects that were not correctly applied to goblins |

The mood will provide a few small bonuses, and goblins in bad mood are more likely to activate their defects. - goblins in good mood may sometimes become "Obsessed", triggering a mini quest you can complete to keep the gob happy (and get rewarded by a small but permanent bonus) - Goblins wages: - to better balance the economy, your goblins will ask some wages whenever you rest; and will get unhappy if not paid. (Note: you can disactivate the wages at the start of the campaign if ) - Limited time quests: - random g |

| Gobs and Gods -- Gameplay live ! | 2024-09-30 | |
| Gobs in the Clouds | 2024-09-28 | Following a common player request, I've configured cloud saves for Gobs and Gods. I have to admit, it was easier than I expected—Steam has really done a great job with this! If you run into any issues with the saves, here are the details: - The saves are located in this folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Gobdot\saves - Each subdirectory represents a saved game. - This directory is now synchronized with Steam Auto Cloud. - The game also creates a backup of the saves in: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Gobdot\savesbackup This directory is *not* synchronized by Steam, so if any data is mistakenly er |
| Patch 1.1.1 | 2024-09-23 | - player gobs willpower decrease spells effect - further nerf death magic - increased athletics hp bonus - donjon: allow entering directly to lvl 2 if lvl 1 was cleared - fix rally perks - increased trollish effect - saves: making backups (to prepare safely activating autocloud) |
| Gobs 1.1, Balance patch | 2024-09-20 | Since the release two months ago, we've gathered a lot of player feedback, which has helped us identify ways to improve Gobs. We've already released a series of small updates with fixes and quality-of-life improvements based on player suggestions, but a larger patch was needed to address game balance. This patch is thus designed to correct all the balance issues which were reported or which we noted ourselves. Overall it should make the endgame more difficult, by increasing the diversity and strength of late-game enemies, and by nerfing some abilities that were too easy to exploit. We hope it will make the game more challenging and interestin |

| Already 10 Patches since release! | 2024-08-18 | Since the release one month ago, we have been actively iterating based on players' feedback and suggestions. Our primary focus has been improving the UI and enhancing the overall player experience. Next, we plan to address game balance and difficulty, aiming to provide a rewarding challenge for all players, from casual gamers to hardcore enthusiasts and even sadistic goblin gods. Following this, we intend to introduce additional content such as new items, quests, the new "alchimechanics" skill, and—hopefully—new scenarios to offer more varied playthroughs. We sincerely thank all the players who have contributed their comments and ideas! You c |
