UPDATE 2025/01/31

Good morning, dear friends :

As you may know, throughout 2025 we have committed to releasing weekly updates for Gremlins, Inc. Such updates typically include a few quality of life improvements:
  • edits for card rules, to make them easier to understand;
  • fixing typos and missing values in some languages;
  • occasionally, balancing changes (thanks to the forum discussions);
  • sometimes, improvements in visual assets (contrast/colors);
  • sometimes, improvements in the UI (font sizes and other things);
  • from time to time, improvements in stability of servers;

If you have any suggestions for future updates in the categories above, please post them on Steam Forums. We are here for you, working to make your game experience better.

And if you report a ːhypnoheartː particularly good ːhypnoheartː bug which we then find, and fix, then we will happily mail you a little package from our studio –



[h2]UPDATE 2025/01/30[/h2]

[h3]LANGUAGE EDITS[/h3]
  • harmonized description of special movement effects (17 cards); languages affected: English, Simplified Chinese (ːmagic_sparklesː thanks, 炒鸡厨客, 菇男), Japanese (ːmagic_sparklesː thanks, members of Gremlins, Inc. Japanese community), Russian.

  • a few years back, when we thought we could introduce "edit" function for all cards, we modified some card rules in anticipation of this change – which resulted in the phrase "Misfortune cards to choose from: 1". We did not manage to add the "edit" function, but that language remained, and it was confusing. It is now fixed. Languages affected: all languages.

  • action card "Secret Police ID" had a name that was too long in Brazilian Portuguese language, which prevented it from being displayed fully; we shortened the name (ːmagic_sparklesː thanks, Jef).

  • one of jail cards had, only in Russian language, a mistake in description of effect ("-0 days"); this is fixed now (ːmagic_sparklesː thanks, VaBaDak)

[h3]USER INTERFACE[/h3]
  • reduced unnatural line breaks; languages affected: Simplified Chinese, Japanese.
  • fixed a bug in which “ー” disappeared in some sentences; languages affected: Japanese.

[h3]TECH ISSUES[/h3]
  • the stability of our servers has been somewhat increased, thanks to a better communication protocol

[h3]OTHER ISSUES[/h3]
  • we adjusted the prices to be able to participate in certain sales events, as in some currencies the prices were flagged as "too low"; currencies affected: here and there, about 20 currencies, with small changes




[h2]ROADMAP[/h2]

[h3]LANGUAGE EDITS[/h3]

We will continue with the clarifications and harmonization of the rules of the cards. The effort is focused on English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Russian languages initially.

[h3]USER INTERFACE[/h3]

We started working on a couple of updates for the visuals of the game, we don't have ETA when these yet. Maybe this becomes a DLC, maybe not, who knows.

[h3]TECH ISSUES[/h3]

There's a server upgrade in the plans, which will provide significant improvement in stability. We are not releasing it at this time as there's a tournament in progress, but once it's over, we'll ship it.

[h3]OTHER[/h3]

"Brand recognition" will be rebalanced after the Lunar New Year tournament ends. Thanks for all the feedback, we agree that it can be improved.

Gremlins, Inc. will celebrate 9 years in full release on March 11, 2025. Do we plan something special? You bet (Valve will also help).
