Notice: Issues Following Language Support Update



Hello, everyone!

We've resolved an issue in multiplayer where guests were unable to perform certain actions, such as using an axe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to monitor and optimize the gameplay experience for smoother performance.

To apply the update, you will need to restart Dinkum. Steam should update the game automatically, but if no update appears, you can manually check by right-clicking on Dinkum in your Steam library, selecting Installed Files, and clicking Verify Integrity of Game Files.

We appreciate your patience and feedback as we work to improve the game. Thank you for your support!

We will provide an update as soon as we have more details.


Thank you.

Go-Go Town comes to Dinkum

G’day everyone!

Dinkum and Go-Go Town are having a crossover! Two great Aussie games smashed together!

Right now in Dinkum, you may run into a strange character wandering around your island out in the bush. This strange new character appears to be somewhat lost, but if you chat with them they’ll be happy to craft some Go-Go Town items for you to place around your island.


This new character will only start visiting your island if you have John’s shop built. And they'll only turn up if no one is currently in your Visitor's Site. If that’s all set, you should start searching for this mysterious visitor after 10am.

But that’s not all! In Go-Go Town, you’ll also find some strange (strangely familiar?) characters visiting your town. If you see any of them, please be sure to say hi for me! Maybe you can try and find them all while you're cruising around on your very speedy Vombat mount?


Oh, and you can now get both Dinkum and Go-Go Town in a steam bundle together. So if you know someone who would love both games, you can grab them both with a 5% discount!
