Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game news & patch notes

• Upgraded EOS SDK to maintain leaderboard functionality
• Fixed leaderboard polling to show all entries

Hello! Matt here - I’m one half of the team, working alongside my infinitely talented friend Nick on our first game - Goblintown: RHDG!

First of all, we just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing / looking at / showing even a passing interest in what we’ve made so far. It’s hard to explain how much it means to put so much work into a project as a new, small team, and then see it out in the world.

Second of all - sorry for being a little quiet. Making games is really tough - and we’ve been hard at work building…

Major Update 1 is here!

• Unlockable skins

  Complete challenges to unlock a ton of new vehicles we’ve added to the game. 

• Leaderboards

  Cross-platform global leaderboards! Set times for each ‘gong’ you hit, and overall delivery times.

• Stat tracking

  A proper save system to track all your personal best stats - what else would you like to see added?

• Bug fixes

  So. Many. Bug fixes. 

What do we want to do in the future?

We’ve obsessed over watching livestreams and listening to feedback - addressing comments from players will be our first priority. BUT we also have a super long list of things we’d love to add to the game, and a lot of ideas about where we might be able to take it in the future.

Goblintown is a wonderful place to explore, with so many more characters, stories and crazy environments we want to bring to you.

Skins will be coming as often as possible. We have so many more that we’ll be adding as often as we can. There’s also a ton of extra work we’d like to do to make each skin feel as unique, expressive and just fun as possible.

We intend to add loads more obstacles, challenges and shortcuts to the track. Maybe a few more refrigerators.

We wanna hear from you
