Goblin Sushi news & patch notes

Hey Sushirollers 👋,

We have two new goblins for you: Puppet Goblin and Gnoblin! The designs were the winners of a drawing challenge, created by our lovely community on Discord. As always they are free and you can unlock them by creating a poop with the right ingredients in the right order.

You can find the sushimat code for the Puppet Goblin on the preview picture of this post. Just put the same ingredients in the same order that are shown in the picture onto your sushimat and create a poop. A popup will appear that you unlocked the Goblin.

We also wanted to share with you the code to unlock Gnoblin. But this cheeky little guy disappeared and took the code with him! The last time we saw him, we saw him sneaking around on our Steampage. If you look closely you will maybe find his sushimat-code there somewhere? 👀

We hope you enjoy playing the new restaurant and thank you for all the warm words and the amazing feedback!

If you missed this drawing challenge, now worries, we will definitely make another one in the future. Join our Discord and keep an eye on the drawing-challenge channel and don’t hesitate to share any fanart with us in the meantime.

All the best, Old 🍰 Factory

Steam Next Fest October is over and GOBLIN SUSHI is going crazy! 🍣

The game had over 16'000 total demo players during the festival, which is crazy to us! Thank you so much!

We just want to thank you for all the support! It is incredibly motivating for us to read how you all enjoy playing our game. And all the feedback and bug-reports you sent our way! It is very important for us to hear from all of you what you like about game and what you don't like so much, so we can shape it into the best experience it can be! ✨

There is a lot of great feedback, we have read all of. Next to all the small things we are going to adjust, the two biggest features you requested that we are currently working on are:

• Meta progression, progress outside of a run

• Difficulty Settings, play easier or harder (or extreme)

With the end of the next fest, the Steam Key Giveaway is also coming to and end. We are currently checking all the entries and will be selecting the lucky 100 who will get a full game key for GOBLIN SUSHI! The winners will get a message from us very soon!

If you want to stay up to date and get the latest updates on the development and other activities, join our discord, if you have not done so yet!

PS: If you are hungry for more random rogue-like happenings, I would like to recommend you to try our friend's game: RANA CARD. It also contains frogs, like GOBLIN SUSHI (although, in their game you don't mix them in a blender).

We are so excited about you all playing so much and having a lot of fun. Also you are amazing at finding random bugs and exploits! So we are dropping a small patch to fix some of the most game breaking issues that you were having. Here is the complete list of all the changes we made!

Balancing

• Make “Full of Rice” a golden card.

• Make “Rice loves Nori” a purple card.

• Reduce the value of “Rice loves Nori” to +0.03 from +0.05 for each rice.

Performance

• Fix Performance issues that occurred when using the “Full of Rice” and “Rice loves Nori” cards.

Bugs

• Fix Landlord Tutorial breaking the game.

• Fix putting back ingredients during mat sushi construction can lead to infinite ingredients.

• Fix finished grilled dishes on the grill turn to burnt poop upon saving and loading the game.

Dear sushirollers,

The voting for the next goblin has ended and the Ghost Goblin won by a large margin! 👻

Final Results: Ghost: 5243 votes Magnet: 2008 votes Time: 477 votes

But don't worry if the magnet or the time goblin were your favorite. We still like their concepts too, so there is still the possibility of them joining the customer roaster in the future.

Ghost goblin mechanic: When the ghost goblin eats a dish he will leave behind a ghost copy of that dish. This ghost copy can then be eaten by another goblin.

The Ghost Goblin will be part of the big demo update that will be released on the 13th of October for the Steam Next fest!

Love u lots,

Old 🍰 Factory
