Hello frens, really underestimated how long it would take to get a streaming setup up and running. Even built a whole new PC for it! Should have a new Smol Kobold Garden build out today or tomorrow along with my first stream starting later this week or so.
First thing I had to sort out was my PC. it was built on the ea...
Thank you all again for your continued patience! As promised, the weekly update videos will be coming soon. I’ve been using this time to figure out how to make them in a timely and consistent way, and I think I’ve found a good solution. Alongside that, I’ve been working on an update for Smol Kobold Garden, brin...

Hello friendbolds new and old, thank you for your continued patience so far. Just wanted to give an update on whats up and what to expect going forward with - Smol Kobold Garden (currently in Steam Early Access) and the main Kobold Garden (coming soon) - and even this Patreon!

Some may have known that Kobold Garden was going to have a playable demo for the current Steam Next Fest. I unfortunately had to make the executive decision to pull out as I was unable to finish the demo in time.
Most foundational systems were complete such as picking up and petting kobolds, the levels, the shop, but o...
Thank you everyone who was able to show support in buying the Early Access version of Smol Kobold Garden on Steam! I've been struggling a bit for awhile now but the additional support has helped me get back on my feet! This month has been the most hectic I've ever had to deal with in releasing Smol Kobold Garden, getting upda...

Hello friends, family, colleagues, and that one guy in the back. Today I come to you not as a game developer. But as a game developer who has yet to release a single video game...

Rough design concept for the omobold, a robotic kobold.
I wanted to see how a hologram or no-mouth face would look like more clearly before committing to a 3d model. Not sure which I want to go with but i feel the hologram version would be more popular so I'm leaning to it.
They serve as a tutorial dump for new...
There has been some delay which pushed me from being able to release in February. But with this I can in 100% confidence say that Smol Kobold Garden will release in March!
This has given me some time to work on the trailer and things. I'm not really happy with the trailer. I feel half of it barely makes any sense but I...
I've been having a hard time conceptualizing how things should look in the main Kobold Garden game without having the actual kobold design finalized so here's my first attempt at it. Going with a cartoony style while feeling physically realistic in 3d. This may change a bit as I polish but I feel this is close to what the fin...

Sorry for he lack of updates so far. Again, again, again. When theres so much going on I seem to get tunnel vision'd easily trying to get everything in as fast as possible. But it's all coming together!
Currently the kobolds just cycle through their animations but the plans to get them to cycle specific ones with perc...
Hey everyone, thank you for your patiences so far.
I was really gunning for this month to be THE month but had a lot of setbacks pile on one after the other with the worst being the sickest I've been in literal years. But I've fully recovered and am ready to push this game out for you all as soon as possible.
I ...
In polishing and getting the build ready, I've decided to go all in on more detailed graphics. Since Steam builds are aimed for PC, they can handle a lot more graphically compared to phones so I've added more detailed trees and grass. I've been slightly concerned with how smol kobold garden might look too different from main ...

Had some unfortunate last minute issues. I assumed this would just work but apparently if you lock the system cursor so a fake cursor can be used, the event system that handles all the cursor events still reads off the locked cursor. Meaning you couldn't click on any ui buttons. Nothing seems to change this, even forcing it t...

It's been pretty rough out here I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I expected to launch Smol Kobold Garden back in Febuary but with things falling though and me mostly over estimating what I would need done for a first release I'm still trying to finish that first build. The good news is we are really close to that finish line.
The Kobold Garden Movie is now in full production!

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

I've been looking at ways to give the Smol Kobold Garden world more style as I felt it was lacking a bit. I was also thinking of how the top down perspective has been used for so long in games. What are modern g...

A lot has been happening in the background, thank you for your patience during this time! I've polished the garden to something that looks somewhat acceptable, I'm pretty proud of it right now! Each object like rocks, plants, bushes, and even trees are selectable and you'll be able to remove them with a shovel to help customi...

Just kidding, been working on Smol Kobold Garden so much I haven't been able to plan for a fun Halloween update this year. But fret not! I come baring a load of new updates and changes to share with you.
I find one of the main appeals of chao garden is being able to customize and make your chao your own. So when it cam...
Been working on revamping the loot/pin minigame. I wanted to give a better sense of progression as you play so Instead of just giving you a list of levels, you'll be able to progress through multiple worlds in a similar manner to Super Mario Bros 3. Every world is procedurally generated so you'll never run out of worlds to ru...

Hello everyone, here's an update with where Smol Kobold Garden is at currently.
I've been very hesitant with releasing Smol Kobold Garden in it's current state. The game looks very rushed because it basically was very rushed. I have been polishing it up as best as I can and I've also taken this opportunity to rewrite m...
Hello! Apologies for the radio silence again. It just kinda happens when I'm trying to figure out a lot of things, something I'm trying to work past. This month as most of you know was suppose to be the launch of Smol Kobold Garden.
Smol Kobold Garden was suppose to be done by April fools day as a not really a joke kind...

I was planning on having a minute long poorly made powerpoint video that felt like it was from the 2000s showing off smol kobold garden but I didn't finish what I wanted for it in time. I didn't get sleep to try and get more done but it didn't pan out so in the end I decided to just release a few pictures on twitter. Biggest ...

With one week left I'm getting pretty nervous but the progress continues. The menu system is complete with all the menus and buttons working. Got a small foliage model done and textured. I've also added in the kobold egg model in and gave kobolds some basic ai. They can wander around the grass area pausing at different times ...

Smol Kobold Garden has been off to a great start, what you see here is the main garden! The big structure there is just a big tree, I hope to have its roots look like it's spreading out more through the textures but I'm just using some placeholder textures for now. I've also pretty much turned off all unitys features while us...

In my spare time I've been trying to get into the Ape Escape series of games. I never got into them when I was younger but always wanted to. It's easy to notice its low poly geometry and think how easy it would be to make something like it while playing. Something about colorful low poly games inspire me to want to make somet...

Hello! Had a pretty hectic start to the month. The NPCs are complete and fully rigged, but I still have to get their rooms done for the bottom of the barrel area to be fully complete.
This isn't what I mean by bad news though. As the title suggests I have both some good and bad news still. So what do you want first? Bad...
