Why Early Access?

“We designed the Trash Goblin for Early Access from the ground up - the game is fundamentally about systems and player expression so we believe every element in the game will benefit from ongoing feedback, from the price of a trinket to how many clicks it takes to break a block.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning for the Early Access development of Trash Goblin to continue in 2025. We don't have a specific end date in mind for our Early Access at this time.””

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We expect the full version of Trash Goblin to contain a more polished and complete set of features and content when compared to the Early Access version.

We intend to include Steam Achievements, plus the bulk of story content including the ending.

During Early Access, our plan is to release a Major Update every few months containing new features and content, interspersed with smaller updates that will address smaller issues, add quality of life features, and add more content (characters, trinkets, etc) at a constant pace.

We will share an Early Access roadmap that details this as much as possible.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Trash Goblin in Early Access already has endless hours of gameplay, customers and 50 trinkets to play with. But we want to add so much more including key characters, trinkets, narrative, sidequests and systems.

We have been actively working on the game for about 2 years and we want this Early Access version of Trash Goblin to contain as much gameplay as possible so that you can have a ton of fun immediately, yet not so much that it's too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive. We consider the content in the Early Access version of Trash Goblin to be of an almost-finished quality and intend to expand that content during Early Access.

various interface elements are still a work-in-progress, along with various other aspects of the presentation - and there are a few accessibility and quality-of-life features that we intend to add over time too, including widely-asked for features like ultra-widescreen support, localisation into multiple languages beyond English, and more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Depending how long we spend in Early Access - plus the size and value to the player of the content added to Trash Goblin during that period - we may raise the retail price for the launch of the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Much like with the Early Access development of Tango Fiesta, we will be actively monitoring feedback from our community as we continue building and improving every single bit of Trash Goblin.

Our official Discord server is linked in the game's main menu and offers a friendly place to leave feedback via the ticketing system and general conversation with the devs. We also regularly check feedback in our Steam forums plus of course wherever else we can find people talking about the game. We expect to keep making many changes and improvements inspired by our player community!

At some point during Early Access we will be introducing a Reporting feature that will allow players to report bugs and suggestions directly from the game, further taking advantage of our amazing community.

We will make Trash Goblin the best it can be with your help.”
