Hopefully we're not rushing things by launching on Steam now!
But seriously, I want to thank all of you so much for your support and kindness over the years. It's definitely been a journey--and it's still not over! We have another update coming...

Hey everyone! I have a lot of fun stuff planned for the rest of this year for Ooblets, but we just got sitting added to the game and couldn't... sit on that. So here's a small update with sitting and a bunch of other bugfixes and improvements. It's out now!
Changelog:
Thanks for making the Port Forward launch in June such a fun experience! Our next big milestone is the v0.9 "Secret Update" for later this year, but before then, we're going to be releasing a couple smaller bugfix and content patches, like this one, 0.8.11!
The big new change is per-room wallpaper and flooring in the pl...

We worked super hard on this update so we hope you like it. It's a pretty big departure from the gameplay of our other regions, so we're excited/terrified to hear everyone's feedback! Be sure to share your high scores in our discord or on 2021-06-12 17:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Today's the day that our big Port Forward Update goes live!
We're going to be kicking it all off at the Wholesome Direct, where we're showing off a brand new trailer we made just for the update. We hope you all tune in to see it along with a bunch of other amazing games.
Hi everyone! We're only 5 days away from the launch of our big Port Forward Update to Ooblets, and we're sharing a bunch of behind the scenes stuff leading up to it.
Plobpen is one of the minigames you can play in Port Forward, and it's maybe our favorite one!
The idea is to build fences around the plobs and try t...

Hey all! Ben here with an update as we get kinda close to the big Port Forward update launch next month.
I thought I'd do something a bit different and share one of the scripts I wrote.
It was originally written sometime in 2019 or earlier, but after the whole Jan 6, 2021 thing in the U.S. I felt the theme might g...

We teased their existence a couple days ago and I can safely say nobody guessed this one.

Hey folks! It's been a while since I've posted here! We've been really hard at work caring for the baby and getting some fun new stuff out for Ooblets.

Thank you so, SO much to everyone here for supporting us and being a part of Ooblets!! This community has meant so much to me over the years (can't believe it's been years!) that I can't describe it.
So now the game is finally out! And we have our very own store pages!!
Before everything goes live on Wednesday, I wanted to give you all early exclusive access to the very special Ooblets OST we've put together, as a small thank you to everyone.

I had planned to shut it down last year, but after the outpouring of support we got following the Epic backlash, I felt it would have been awkward to just turn off this whole support network of pe...

Now that there's a lot less for me to show off on the new systems front, I've been focused on fixing the millions of bugs to get us to certification. It's a lot of boring stuff that wouldn't work too well to feature in patreon posts, but thankfully we have our animator Dave to fill in the gaps!

As we were playtesting recently, we realized a bunch of the lines we wrote last year for Churles, the resident clothing designer and phobia-laden hypochondriac, were going to be read in a much different context than that which they were written.
