Gremlins, Inc. News

Hello there!

Based on the community feedback as well as the stats from tens of thousands of sessions completed on the servers of Gremlins, Inc., we plan to adjust special abilities of 2 characters.
Before we do this, we’d like to receive a bit more feedback – please help us by commenting on this topic on Steam forums as well as on the game’s Discord server!

[h3]Expected adjustments of the Banker[/h3]
This is a character that is too powerful in duels but isn't effective enough in sessions with more than one opponent. To balance this out, we consider changing the ability "Money makes money" from:

• whenever you stop on one of the income spots, your income is increased by 2

to:

• whenever you stop on one of the Income spots, your income is increased by a value equal to the number of opponents in the session (in team sessions, only players of opposing teams count as opponents)

With this change, the Banker will become stronger in sessions that have a higher number of opponents – but will become weaker in duels where this ability will provide +1 income instead of +2.

Another smaller change that we consider for this character: changing the ability "Old Investments" to provide +10 income at the start of the session, but not to give any additional money.

The intention here is to reduce the initial aggression toward this character, which is sometimes experienced due to its better starting conditions.

[h3]Expected adjustments of the Collector[/h3]
The main issue with this character is not its strength or weakness, but the fact that it isn't very interesting at its core because its abilities provide almost no meaningful choices. By design, the Collector also heavily relies on the size of its collection of active permanent cards – but has no tools at its disposal that could help to expand it.

To compensate this and make the character a bit stronger, we consider giving the Collector a new, fifth, ability “Excavation”:

• whenever you stop on one of the Income spots, you can choose between using the spot's effect or discarding any number of cards from your hand

This ability will make the Collector very effective at managing its hand, but in order to use it the player must reject double income (and that could be a significant sum of money), which puts in front of the player an interesting choice. This also helps the Collector in cases where the player struggles with finding permanent cards to play and expand the collection.

[h3]Please share your feedback![/h3]
We very much look forward to your comments on these proposed changes in this thread on Steam Forums as well as on the game’s official Discord server. Thank you!

[h2]RULES[/h2]

Sessions that count towards the tournament:

Amsterdam:

ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (8)

Singapore:

ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (8)

For each win, players receive additional points that depend on the strength of the opponents over whom they have won. Important: your tournament points will continue to increase with the increase in the tournament score of your past opponents, over whom you prevailed – even if you already have reached the limit of sessions for the tournament. What this means is that the tournament is never over for you as long as your previously conquered opponents continue to play, and win.

During this tournament, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will NOT affect your regular rating.

Players get tournament points for the first 8 sessions played in the tournament on each of the servers. Any subsequent sessions won't give any tournament points, and won't increase the number of defeated opponents who give additional points. Nonetheless, victories of all opponents who were defeated in the first 8 sessions will affect your final tournament rating.

[h2]PRIZE FUND[/h2]

Awarded: Top 20 players on each of the servers. In addition to the main prize fund, every player who finishes all tournament sessions receives a special bonus player icon “Facepalm” (only if it has not been received before)!

We congratulate the winners and wish good luck to everyone in future events! Thank you for being such an awesome community! ːvotesː

We released Gremlins, Inc. on Steam in late 2015 and every year since then, the game has been performing better than before. If you told us that things would work this way back in 2015, we would have found this hard to believe. But here we are – with another record-setting year – thanks to dedicated players who come from all over the world!

Some companies measure their products by revenue. We measure our games by how much time people spend playing them, and by this measure last year saw more players play more sessions in Gremlins, Inc. than in any year before. We don’t think that we are creative geniuses, or that Gremlins, Inc. is a divine masterpiece. Rather, we think that the continued growth of the game is the collective result of these simple policies that we follow:

• We continue to support the game with new content (including new cards)
  
• We continue to organize regular official tournaments
  
• In ranked sessions, we enforce the Fair Play Rules and review every protest
  

With today’s update, we take the opportunity to thank you for your continued support of the game and for recommending Gremlins, Inc. to your friends. Together, we’ve already built a great community around the game. In the new year, let’s continue to set new records!

[h2]Changes on playing fields[/h2]

Two spots on each playing field have been changed. From now on, you won't receive income on the way out from the Jail (it is replaced with a Risk spot) – but you also won't receive a misfortune because the Misfortune spot has been replaced with with a Bribe spot.

We discussed this change with the player community and among the dev team, from different angles for quite some time – and finally decided to give them a try, because we believe that they will affect positively the dynamics of the sessions.

Firstly, those who are arrested will no longer be punished twice: first by being jailed, then by passing through the Misfortune spot on the way out. Secondly, the choice of behaviour in the Jail is now affected to a lesser degree by the route through which the player prefers to leave the place, and more by the strategic decision of which behaviour is more advantageous under the current circumstances.

The first moment was especially unpleasant to new players who do not know yet how to avoid arrests and misfortunes, or how to be properly prepared for such events. And the second one created the situation where bad behaviour in the Jail was by far the most popular choice because escaping from the Jail was safer than leaving it after the sentence is completely served. We expect that now the balance of these decisions will begin to level off, since the threat of an additional misfortune on the way out no longer pushes players away from choosing good behaviour.

[h2]Updated timers[/h2]

The speed balance of the game has been changed.

The new settings make it easier to play on Fast speed (more time is available for actions such as choosing a misfortune or a card when more than few are available) and increase the dynamics of sessions at Normal speed (which is used in ranked and tournament sessions), allowing less time for actions that do not require as much time as they were previously given. Slow and Relaxed settings of the timer now provide more time for each action, allowing to decrease significantly the pressure of the timer on players – without removing it entirely.

We are confident that these changes should positively affect not only the future ranked and tournament sessions, but custom sessions as well – no matter at which speed they are played.

[h2]GMT on both server clusters[/h2]

Both server clusters, Amsterdam and Singapore, now use GMT as their server time zone. Mostly it is required for our internal operation, but this also makes it easier to create protests because local timezone is no longer relevant – only the time as it is shown in the "previous sessions" tab in player profiles.

The New Year is near and what is the best way to celebrate it if not with another big tournament! 6 days, an extended prize pool, special prizes for the best players of both servers, modified decks on both servers, more sessions are taken into account... The New Year Tournament is almost here!

Please keep in mind that since rating points are frozen during tournaments and the monthly rating reset happens on the 1st day of each month, the December season actually ends a bit earlier, with the beginning of the tournament.

Sessions that count towards the tournament:

Amsterdam: ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (14)

For each win, players receive additional points that depend on the strength of the opponents over whom they have won. Important: your tournament points will continue to increase with the increase in the tournament score of your past opponents, over whom you prevailed – even if you already have reached the limit of sessions for the tournament. What this means is that the tournament is never over for you as long as your previously conquered opponents continue to play, and win.

During this tournament, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will NOT affect your regular rating.

Players get tournament points for the first 14/18 (depending on server) sessions played in the tournament on each of the servers. Any subsequent sessions won't give any tournament points, and won't increase the number of defeated opponents who give additional points. Nonetheless, victories of all opponents who were defeated in the first 14/18 sessions will affect your final tournament rating.



Awarded: Top 20 players on each of the servers. In addition to the main prize fund, every player who finishes all tournament sessions receives a special bonus player icon “Facepalm” (only if it has not been received before)!



ːhypnoheartː Special prize: the top-3 players on each of the servers will receive by registered mail a set of 4 hard enamel pins "Gremlins, Inc.". The pins will be mailed to the winners as a registered letter to any country in the world, provided that we receive the mailing address within 72 hours after the announcement of the tournament's results.
