Either way, we've just added a new map, titled "Love", in which the goblin discovers the Blue Knight's true feelings about him. Or something. Happy Valentine's day, folks!

To help you, you must decide whether to trust the advice of the Red Man, the Green Man, or the Blue Man!

And it looks like every player is wearing that dumbass freebie Santa costume offered by the server admins this year!

Can one lowly goblin sway the future of the server? And what does the treacherous Facepalmer have to do with it all? (Patch: v1.3.1)

Patch 1.3.0 adds a new map ('Haunted House'), full of fiendish traps and spooky noises. And the usual amount of dumbass adventurers out to kill the goblin for a few XP. It also adds a brand-new piece of spooky music. Enjoy! ... if you dare!

When smashed this creates a purple "cloud of helium" that makes anything inside it fly up in the air for a few seconds. Seems realistic, right? - We have added two new official maps which you'll see from the Play window: (1) Gopunzel - can you save the lovely maiden from the tower? Is there such a thing as a goblin with long flowing golden hair? (2) No Goblin's Sky - explore an almost infinite procedurally generated universe! Meet other players! Craft new spaceships!** ** Some of these claims may be false. Music DLC: This is the full original 13-song music soundtrack from the game. Track Listing: 1. Goblins & Grottos Trailer 2. The Goblin's Quest 3. Goblin Dance 4. Goblin Detective 5. Magic Woodland 6. Enchanted Forest 7. NPC March 8. Sneaky Goblin 9. The Hall of the Mountain Troll 10. Goblin Boss Fight 11. The Illusionist 12. Goblin Detective (Reprise) 13. Final Boss Battle

http://i.imgur.com/YapPfXv.jpg We have added Steam Workshop support to the game (patch 1.1.2). This will make it easy to share your cool Goblins & Grottos maps with your Steam friends, and browse/download other people's maps. We have also made a 'cheat sheet' of commands for use with the map-maker, and a video tutorial covering its basic useage: Map Editor Instructions

http://i.imgur.com/G5OUu5a.jpg There's a couple of bug fixes in here related to Achievements. A major version number update was needed due to server compatibility. Also just to let you know we're working hard on integrating Steam Workshop and this should be ready in a week or so.

http://i.imgur.com/yQieJDq.jpg This patch makes these updates: - replaced the tutorial with a much more entertaining one - improved the zoom in/out feature when using the map editor (it's done using mousewheel or +/- on keyboard) - chains swing a bit more based on speed you hit them at when grabbing them - a number of physics efficiency tweaks to help framerates - fixed a bug with positioning of the troll sprite when it attacks

http://i.imgur.com/IdK3jEB.jpg This patch rolls in a few playability tweaks with keyboard and especially game controller use: - 2 or more controllers can now be plugged in at once, and whichever one is active will be listened to - to jump from a wall or chain: now just press left/right+jump; there's no need to also press Up (which was awkward previously, especially on game controllers) - if you jump to a wall/chain and grab it without letting go of the 'up' button, then you will now start climbing without needing to release+re-press 'up' - on controllers, either of the analog sticks, and the dpad now work for movement - fixed a bug whereby you could not jump off walls/chains when using the dpad
