[p]Hey Goblins! 👋

As we mentioned at the end of last week, our team has been working hard on Patch 2, which brings significant improvements and adjustments to Goblin Cleanup, all based on your community feedback![/p][p][/p][p]Patch 2 needs a little bit more time to cook, but in the meantime, we want to roll out our second Experimental Beta Branch to you. It's time to get experimental once more, Goblins! 🧌[/p][p][/p][p]If you would like to try out our patch early and experience the new improvements that Patch 2 has to offer, you can now opt into this beta branch. Before we jump into how to do so, here are the new key features that arrive in this Beta Branch...[/p][p][/p][h2]Experimental Beta Branch 2 - Opt In Now! [/h2][h3]New Features & Improvements:[/h3]

• [p]Reset Unrestored Items: Accidentally thrown a book into the abyss? You can now reset unrestored items back to their original locations! Head to the pause menu and you'll find the new option "Reset Unrestored Item" under the "Unstuck" option.[/p]
• [p]Improvements to the Scanner: The scanner now provides much better visual feedback to you on the items located around the dungeon.[/p]
• [p]Addition of Restorable Items Scanning: You can now scan for restorable items! That means no more searching every nook and cranny of the dungeon for the last singular fork.[/p]
• [p]Balancing to the XP system: Level thresholds have been significantly reduced. Ready to see your levels shoot up Goblin? Jump into the beta branch and you'll see! We've also implemented a hard cap for levels at Level 21.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Please note that these new additions may contain minor issues. If you do encounter any bugs during your Beta Branch 2 playthrough, please use our dedicated pinned thread at the top of our Steam Discussions page to discuss this.

We are also aware of an issue in The Hot Springs regarding The Golem Heart so interacting with it may not work as intended on the Beta Branch until the full patch next week.[/p][p][/p][p]Alongside these additions, this beta branch includes a number of bug fixes, from correcting hat and tail positions to removing an invisible collision from a certain pesky drawbridge.
[/p][p]Next week, we'll be bringing you a full breakdown of fixes, which will be provided when the patch goes live to all![/p][h3]
How to opt in:[/h3][p]We're aiming to release this patch to all next week, but here's the steps so you can opt into this beta branch today:[/p]

• [p]Right-click Goblin Cleanup in your Steam library.[/p]
• [p]Select Properties.[/p]
• [p]Go to the Betas tab.[/p]
• [p]Select experimental_goblins in the dropdown menu.[/p]
• [p]Give Steam a minute to switch to the beta branch.[/p]
• [p]You've now opted into the beta branch![/p][p][/p]

[p]Please note: Whilst you are playing our Experimental Beta Branch, you WILL NOT be able to match make with players on the default branch. We've noticed you can bypass this via Steam friend invites, which we strongly advise against doing, to ensure you have the best experience playing on our Beta Branch.[/p][p][/p][h3][/h3][h3]Wondering what's next for Goblin Cleanup?[/h3][p]Last week, we released a Steam News post covering our future Major Content Updates for our co-op cleaning sim game. Read the news update here on Steam![/p][p][/p][h3]Feedback on our Experimental Beta Branch[/h3][p]For any feedback surrounding our Beta Branch, please use our dedicated pinned thread at the top of our Steam Discussions page named Experimental Beta Branch 2 - Feedback Thread, or leave your discussions on this post here! [/p][p][/p][h3]Want to keep updated on Goblin Cleanup?[/h3][p]Join our Discord and follow us on Twitter — we share dev updates, sneak peeks, and goblin nonsense regularly.[/p][p][/p][p]We're excited to rolling this patch out to everyone very soon! Thank you for all your support 💚[/p]

[p]Hey Goblins! 👋
[/p][p]We're now a week on from our Steam Early Access launch, and we have been thrilled to see your positive feedback towards our game! 💚 Over the last week, our tiny team has been focused on addressing your launch feedback in adjustments and bug fixes to bring you more improvements to Goblin Cleanup.[/p][p][/p][h2]Patch 2: Arriving Soon[/h2][p]We're excited to announce that a second patch for Goblin Cleanup will arrive very soon. Patch 2 brings a long list of improvements, QoL adjustments, and bug fixes. This builds upon our first patch, which we launched at the end of last week.[/p][p]We're aiming for Patch 2 to release next week and will keep you updated on this via our Goblin Discord server. Here are some main additions that our next patch will bring:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Addition of an ability to scan for pickable objects that need resetting, alongside tweaks to make the object scanning more noticeable![/p]
• [p]Balancing the current levelling system to bring down the thresholds of experience needed per experience level. This will make it easier for you to obtain some cosmetics options that are difficult to obtain with the current levelling system.[/p]
• [p]Change to the completion percentage of Level Challenges across all levels, from its current Cleanup 100% to Cleanup 85% after Patch 2. (Please note, we may change this back to 100% at a later date, but this alteration will allow for more players to achieve the Level Challenge and mitigate problems with the 100% Cleanup challenge if you experience any issues when cleaning up a level.)[/p]
• [p]Even more Bug Fixes & Improvements from the community's launch feedback![/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]After Patch 2 & Our Major Content Updates[/h2][p]We'd like to use this time in between patches to discuss what we have in store for after Patch 2. Our First Major Content Update will arrive after Patch 2, as we turn our attention back to game content! [/p][p][/p][p]Here's a first look at what you can expect from our future Content Updates:[/p][p][/p][h2]Content Update 1[/h2][h3]Male Goblins[/h3][p]Firstly, we've heard your comments, and Male Goblins will arrive in our first Content Update! Alongside the addition of Male Goblins in Content Update 1, we're also aiming to bring some Male-presenting outfit options in this Content Update for added Goblin customisation![/p][p][/p][p]At Early Access launch, we held off releasing with Male Goblins, as we wanted more outfit options to be ready with the addition of Male Goblins, so you could customise your character to your liking![/p][p][/p][p]Our aim with customisation is to make all our outfit customisation options available to select from and equip, regardless of whether you choose a Male or Female Goblin model. This may not be fully implemented from our first Content Update, but we'll continue to develop our customisation features throughout Early Access to ensure all outfit options are available, no matter what you select. Overall, we aim to provide you with the best Goblin Maid customisation options possible during Steam Early Access and beyond![/p][p][/p][h2]Content Update 2[/h2][h3]More Dungeon 1 Levels[/h3][p]After implementing Male Goblin Models, we'll bring three new levels to Goblin Cleanup in our second content update. This will complete both The Dark Tower and Floor 4 of our first dungeon! And some of you may have spotted our teaser icon... what will be waiting for you at the end of the dungeon in Floor 4?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We're excited to expand our dungeons in many Content Updates throughout our period of Steam Early Access. We aim to bring you varied levels to reset with your Goblin friends, special monsters to face, and unique challenges to experience during your cleaning adventures![/p][p][/p][h3]That's all for right now on news updates, Goblins! But we'll see you soon for Patch 2, bringing more bug fixes and improvements before our Major Content Updates for Goblin Cleanup![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h3]Ran into an issue whilst cleaning the dungeons?[/h3][p]If you run into any issues with Goblin Cleanup, please reach out to our Support Team via the Report a Problem Steam forums here![/p][p] [/p][h3]Want to keep updated on Goblin Cleanup?[/h3][p]Join our Discord and follow us on Twitter — we share dev updates, sneak peeks, and goblin nonsense regularly.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for all your support! 💚[/p]
