Reviews:

Legit LOL!

I really cannot praise the writing and direction things go in Goblin Layer highly enough. When I say that the game is funny, I do not mean that you will have a little chuckle or some kind of half hearted snort! You will legit be laughing at some of the absurd things that happen and are said in this game. It really is written and presented amazingly well and you just sort of go along for the wild ride as it is so funny.

Never Gonna Give You Up

While Goblin Layer has a great story, this is also a pretty solid lewd RPG in its own right. Most of what you will be doing in the game is played from the top-down perspective. You will have to search around, interact with characters, and find items and the typical RPG type stuff you would expect. There is also a combat system in the game that has a bit of an old school Final Fantasy vibe about it which I like. However, the best thing about the gameplay here is the accessibility options. It gives you full cheat and skip options if you just want to breeze through the game or just certain parts of it. They have really made this so anyone can play it and that is cool.

As Crazy As You Would Expect!

As far as the presentation and the lewd content of Goblin Layer goes, that is also awesome. The top down portion of the game has a nice pixel art look to it and I like how detailed things are.The combat system and the portraits in the game use these amazing hand drawn style portrait type images of the characters that are very appealing and then we have the lewd content. This game is completely over the top and it features some over the top sex scenes as well. They walk a fine line between being pretty damn hot and funny at the same time and they are all animated and animated very well.

Changelog:

0.57.1.1 "New Beginnings-s" - Edition

Another quite significant update, fixing some serious, including game-breaking, bugs, in addition to the new content.

This update is a combination of 0.57.1 and 0.57.1.1.  As mentioned normally the free/public updates generally gets released one by one. But yet again, there were some really important bugfixes that I didn't want to paywall. Otherwise, people would get a bad impression of the game y'know?

Randomly stumbled over this? Here's the tldr: Goblin Layer is a (nsfw) parody Adventure with a large cast of characters, humor, animations and more! Not to be confused with Goblin Slayer.

For Mac/Linux version check Patreon (The post is  unlocked/free).

- The reason these are not on Itch, is because they simply don't work on certain Mac/Linux versions.

- I don't want to upload something that maybe works on a platform like Itch. Trying to keep it a little professional at least :-)

Also, while there's not an official android version at the moment, people have gotten the game to work on Joiplay.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the changelog. (scroll down for 0.57.1 & Dev notes)

Scenes

Improved the writing/dialogue for many scenes

Added a dialogue reaction from Gobrielle (Paladin), during Anvil's Potion quest. If you've finished up Ch6 before doing it.

Some extra dialogue with Farm Girl during the scene where you "fix" Anvil after her potion quest. You'll have to have read two specific books for it to trigger though.

Gameplay

New Walk + Combat Sprites for Priestess

New Combat Sprites for Goblin Layer.  [You can find the old ones in img/sv_actors/old]

Adjustments to the Textbox position

Grinder Lvl 1 is a bit easier now,  got some more things planned in the future

Gobelyne's scene is now unlocked after doing Grinder once.

Added a Variable that tracks how many times you've Grinded, might come in handy in the future

Previous update  added some small secret events here and there. You might now get a random stat boost if you find some of them.

Removed some events from the Hubtown main, the map has become a bit 'heavy' and need some optimization

-  (the removed events only affected non-important visuals)

A new room with  loot in the Watertown/Sewer Dungeon.

- Well, to be honest it's been there all the time, but I accidentally made it inaccessible. But now it's accessible.

General map touch-ups

Updated/improved cursor behavior for multiple events (like cursor changing to indicate an interaction)

Added shadows to some events that lacked them

Added a small secret room, with loot, in the Biz district

Remove TP requirement from Barrel's Moonshine skill, in exchange for a higher MP cost.

The quick-time defense/parry during combat is still kinda janky, but I'm working on improving it.

Added different music in the Ch4 areas

Bugfixes

I've done a full playthrough from a New Game, every main quest, every sidequest, every frontier conquest clearing.*

So the game should be fully playable with a fresh save, but I'm sure you people will figure out a way to break things anyway. Please report the bugs when you do.

I experimented a bit with dialogue window width in a previous version, which lead to text getting cut off in some cases. Should be mostly fixed now.

Fixed many bugs that could outright break the game when using Chapter Select.

Fixed a bug that could prevent the game from progressing after Chapter 4

Fixed party members going invisible during a cutscene in ch7

Fixed a missing reaction when asking Town Hall for a quest after the prologue

Fixed typos

Fixed duplicate dialogue lines

Cleared out junk files that had been accumulating, unused image files, plugin code and such.

Fixed Lonesome Lighthouse being visible on the world map too early.

Fixed flickering map icon for the Burnt Elven fort

Fixed a whole bunch of bugs with the farm, that got you stuck in walls and shit, side effect of changing things on a map where a lot of quests take place...

Fixed bugs with the Inn Bath that caused the same kind of issues

General map fixes, pass-ability, clipping etc, in particular during CH6

Fixed a bug that broke the flame trap in CH3

Fixed the wrong background music kicking after listening to the Bard in Watertown/Capital

Adjusted the location of message boxes & choices to prevent them 'cutting into' each other

Removed a superfluous teleport trigger in Watertown/Capital

Fixed a sewer goblin with the wrong type of trigger

Fixed a sewer goblin ending up in the water instead of on the walkway

Fixed Anvil's sprite not behaving properly during the potion quest, movement/visibility

Fixed the Potion shop reverting to an old empty version during a cutscene

Music fades out properly after Anvil's 'flattening' scene

Fixed some minor issues with the Quest Log

Removed some duplicate dialogue

Fixed the text not displaying for some signs, apparently if you put a sound effect between the 'display' box command, and the command defining the text in the box, the text disappears.

*'Except the 'holiday specials'

0.57.1

Scenes

A fabulous intro animation on New Game start. Though, it's not exactly Pixar-level yet.

A couple renders when you first meet Priestess in the cave

Gameplay

Improved the code for the Active Defense plugin. Preventing some bugs & spamminess. Still need to visually remake it so the "jump" becomes a dodge or block though.

Some new rare loot added to random loot lists

Some Item Balance adjustments

Some Combat balance adjustments

Map improvements, visually, and in terms of passability

Hall of fame updated

Bugfixes

Fixed bug that made combat way too easy

Fixed a bug that made your character jump up and down constantly in Combat

Fixed some bugs when entering the Farm

Fixed a bug that got you stuck in Coastal Cavern

Dev Notes:

I have done a full playthrough (using New Game) of the game, all main quests, side-quests, and Frontier Conquest areas, and fixed a lot of broken things, and improved others. Including some game-breaking bugs. I also fixed a lot of issues with Chapter Select.

When I did a full playthrough, I used a New Game. When I tested the Chapter Select, I mainly just checked out the Cave & that the next Main Quest triggered properly. So can't rule out there's some hidden issues. I'll have to do a more careful check later though, there just wasn't enough hours in the day for a full check of each. I'd do these type of playthroughs more often, but then I wouldn't have time to add new content lol...

But hopefully the game should be in a nicer state now!

I'll update the Cheat Room & Hall of Fame next version, realized I hadn't after uploading...
