Grab them all (or any you don’t already have) at the bundle discount!

From now until January 10th, the Ooblets Wintertime Event is live! Collect festive bobbles and chuck em in the gotsapon machines to snag event-limited goodies like new house exteriors, new outfits, and more.

Head over to the Dept. of Ooblet Vehicles each day to find the event kiosk and grab all the event-limited oobmobiles as well.

Badgetown's been gussied up a bit in the holiday spirits and there's a greater chance of snowy days, so be sure to stock up on meltilizer or heaters.

We hope you all have a very safe and happy holiday season <3

Our pals at Fangamer have just launched two new Ooblets plushies that they've done an incredible job on: Clomper and Glanter! These are in addition to the Shrumbos that have been out for a little while that a lot of you have already picked up.

Here's the Fangamer Ooblets collection where you can snag them all!

We haven't gotten ours in the mail just yet but from what we've been told, those proportions are accurate and clomper is indeed quite the big boy.

Some small changes for 1.4.29:

• Several optimization improvements to reduce memory allocations
  
• Several content additions for the yearly Winter event (will not actually trigger until December 1st)
  
• Fixed issue where Xanaboo is still appearing in daily summary despite being unobtainable

Have fun!

Little update for folks who were finding the oobmobile audio stressful:

• Added user-controlled volume settings for Oobmobile sound effects.

Have fun!

This patch contains a couple small hotfixes for the Oobmobile update.

• Fixed occasional "Rebecca why you no give me any dialogue" comment from downmark in Mamoonia
  
• Slightly lowered volume for Oobmobile sound effects
  
• Fixed mis-assigned seed visuals for Isopud, Gullysplot, and Firmo
  
• Fixed Zuffle cutscene soft-locking when button mashing
  
• Fixed Xanaboo figurine having cloned base
  
• Fixed cut-off text in Settings screen in French language
  
• Adjustments to scale of some Oobmobiles

Thanks for playing!

This entire update stems from us having no impulse control and running with every dumb idea that crosses our minds.

We were debating about what incentive we could provide for folks to fully level up ooblets without goofing with the dance battle balancing, and it came down to either a congratulatory “got-to-level-10” hat they could wear orrrr…

OOBMOBILES!

We picked oobmobiles. Now your ooblets can ride around in little cars!!!

It took a lot of fiddly work but the results are better than we could have hoped for. Way better than a lousy hat.

There are some barriers to getting your ooblets driving though:

• You need to have unlocked the *Dept. of Ooblet Vehicles* (DOV) which is related to the “Mystery Door in Town Hall” Tinstle Task available after reaching a player level of 5. It should become available a day after that’s completed (you’ll get mail about it)
  
• Your ooblets need to be level 10 to get a license
  
• It costs a lot of gummies to get a license (currently 800 but that may change)

We also tweaked the ooblet level requirements so it won’t take as long to get to level 10 and gain access to oobmobiles, but still keeps it a fun longer-term goal.

You can also buy oobmobiles at the kiosk in the DOV regardless of whether or not you have any ooblets that are licensed, but you won’t be able to equip them on ooblets until they’re licensed. Currently, we have a kiosk that picks a different random oobmobile to be available each in-game day. During events, there might be a special event oobmobile kiosk that does the same for event-specific oobmobiles. And speaking of which:

Halloween Oobmobiles are available for a limited time!

(depending on when you’re reading this)

While the Halloween Event is running, you’ll be able to snag some unique spooky oobmobiles from the Halloween oobmobile kiosk in the DOV. The oobmobile available will change each in-game day.

If you haven’t leveled any ooblets up to 10 yet, you can still stock up on the event oobmobiles (if you can afford them) to save for when you do have licensed oobs. And if you miss the event oobmobiles, they’ll be back next year! And we absolutely cannot condone you fiendishly modifying your system clock to trick our poor gullible game into thinking it’s still Halloween!

Another quick QoL & bugfix patch:

• Added support for 21:9 resolutions
  
• Added aspect ratio tag to resolution picker to make it easier to find your screen size
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes oobcoop upgrades wouldn’t go through if items in inventory are in split stacks
  
• Fixed missing localized instructions in Plobpen minigame
  
• Fixed localized font rendering issues in Port Forward
  
• Fixed localized font rendering issues on written discoverables
  
• Fixed several other missing translations and various localization issues

Thanks for all the helpful reports!

Another quick bugfix and QoL patch:

• Fixed issue where sometimes confirmation panel in Wildlands refers to the deposited seed by the wrong name
  
• Further resolved issue (previously thought to be fixed, but only partially fixed) with player getting stuck trying to enter house
  
• Tiny increase in Boregus spawn rate
  
• Some minor typos fixed
  
• Resolved a handful of issues regarding Chinese translations including:
  
• Missing and misaligned characters in Chinese font whenever text is teletyped
  
• System failing to default to operating system language if Chinese

We'll be implementing a few more fixes related to the Chinese translations in the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

See you in Oob!

New lil bugfix/QoL patch out!

We've been listening to folks on Discord, Twitch, and Twitter and working hard on improvements and fixes as fast as we can! Thankfully there haven't been many bug reports so we can start focusing on smaller issues now!

Bugs:

• Fixed issue where sometimes you couldn't craft a recipe despite having all the ingredients
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes player takes too long to walk into their house

Improvements:

• Added a hints/tips element to the main menu (another attempt to teach folks about sprinting!)
  
• Added a new option in settings for “Disable Vignette” for people who don’t like the vignetting around the screen
  
• Some small lighting tweaks

We're working on improving the Chinese localization now so expect some fixes for that soon!
