| 8 years anniversary | 2024-11-08 | Hello little goblins, Thank you for all your support throughout the years. 8 years, to be more precise, as the first game in the series - Goblin and Coins - was released on November 8th 2016. Time simply flies by. There are two more Goblin and coins games since, a very difficult Goblin and Coins II with metroidvania-lik levels and a focus on exploration and acquiring upgrades, and an easier alternative to it, The Lost Recipes, which is more similar to the first game, with mostly linear levels and unlimited continues. In order to celebrate together, a franchise link has been created on steam, so it's easier to find all the games in the series, |

| Goblin and Coins works on SteamDeck | 2022-02-28 | There's an unofficial confirmation that Goblin and Coins works out of the box on SteamDeck. Here's a picture proof: We're all waiting for Valve to test and sort all the 60.000+ games on Steam for SteamDeck compatibility. With that amount of material to go through, it's understandable that Goblin and Coins, being a very small indie game, won't be a priority for a while, and that's okay (there's ~1300 games rated so far). But while we wait for the official rating, there's many 3rd parties that have access to SteamDeck and with the lifting of embargos and the official release of the handheld, it's now possible to simply have the game tested - no |

| Comparing caves in GnC1 and GnC2 (in development) | 2021-05-07 | Goblin and Coins II has been in development since late 2017. Right now there's an alpha build being tested with tutorial/intro level, map, trader, "the underground" and 4 various regular levels.

| Attempt to address the slowdowns | 2021-01-17 | I've pushed a minor change that should in theory address the slowdowns that were happening on windows platform, without the need for players to use dx11 beta build. In my tests it works and fps doesn't drop to 24 with everything dragging around slowly, but this was a wild run so you'll have to test for yourself if the game is sticking close to 30fps with gameplay simply flying. |
| Experimental DX11 build available | 2020-12-17 | Ever since Windows 10 v.1703 (Creators Update) the game (and many other titles) had issues with the fullscreen mode. At first it was just a black/white screen (easily mitigated with a compatibility mode), which was sort of fixed with the release of Win10FCU (1709) and KB4048955, but for some reason ever since game runs sluggish and under 30 fps even if it worked perfectly fine before... and runs fine on older versions of Windows even today. It's playable, and gamers who aren't using frame counters might not even notice, but everything just feels way too slower than intended on random occasions. I've finally decided to try making this experime |
| Bored? Draw and maybe win! | 2020-03-28 | Hello little goblins, We're all stuck at home and it's sometimes hard to keep your mind off what's going on in the world, but if you're willing to try, here's an idea - imagine goblin is stuck at home too. Because of reasons, I dunno. Hiding from the dragon or something. Now, what would that home look like? What would goblin do to pass the time? Any weird details in that picture? Can you see it in your minds eye? Nice! Now get your pens, your pencils, crayons, Wacom tablet, sharpies, watercolors, whatever you prefer, and draw that scene, upload it to the game hub between April 1st and 30th and tag it #stayhome in the title. If you feel really |
| Toss a goblin to your loved one | 2020-02-11 | I know you long for some more of the goblin's bean-soup my pretties, but the winter is long and full of lost coins and the strains that puts on a friendship can down a dragon if it's not careful, and we know, my pretties, that dragons are not the most careful of beings, all glorious and full of... Well... While you wait for the next chapter in my story, you can warm your heart with friendship and love by sharing the adventure with a loved one. But only if they'll make a bean soup for you later. Or an eggmeal. It's the rule. It is known, goblinisi. - Goblin the 1st, master Chef of the royal dungeon cafeteria. |

| Patch 1.0.3.1 - Changelog | 2017-09-02 | Fixed a visibility issue with old school difficulty only bean cauldrons in Spanish and Russian version of the game. Patch 1.0.3 added new bean soup cauldrons to certain levels that were supposed to be visible only in old school difficulty. Due to a minor bug they were visible - but not allowed for picking up - to casual players using Spanish or Russian version of the game. This should be fixed now and these cauldrons will not be visible and will not confuse the players anymore. |
