We’re interested in expanding this into a full title. Problem is, we don’t quite know the best way to go about getting it made (funding, marketing, building a dev team, etc).

We have a forum thread about this - if you have any suggestions, resources you can recommend or even want to reach out for collaboration; let us know.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for Greedy Goblins! It means a lot people enjoyed out hard work!!

Game-Dev updates

Visual Novel: While it’s primarily narrative, there are simple gameplay segments that have been entirely programmed. Most of the assets are completed, including composing the soundtrack, the script is being finalized before it’s all assembled. Expect it before the end of the year.

Platformer: Significantly larger of a title than Greedy Goblins, time is being spent laying out a foundation so a lot can built upon it. It serves as a proof of concept for a larger title; and if it gets expanded into a larger title, ideally we’d just build on-top of the browser-game than square one. Expect this Q1 2024.

Unfortunately I have a pinched nerve that can make desk work painful. Trying to fix it but if work stalls and I miss projected deadlines, blame my rhomboids.

Comics

More than just the Greedy Goblins tie-in book are being worked on. Progress has been made on the next one, but for now we don’t want to share all the details.

Aiming for blog updates to be a weekly thing, fingers crosses.

The Game is getting updates in accordance to player feedback, main add itions just added being...

• level transition cutscene can be skipped
• labels for buttons appear when gameplay starts (can be toggled off in settings)

We also have a Greedy Goblins comic - 10 pages long written and drawn by the game's artist Kai-El-Jefe!

The gameplay music has also be added to the audio portal - in the upcoming weeks we're going to roll out the soundtrack to previous games as well.

Lastly, the CubePunks store has also been updated, items from all 6 of our games are available.

Pre-production for the next few games have begun; expect a Visual Novel and a Platformer in the upcoming months. Also expect more comics from CubePunks!

GREEDY GOBLINS

Hey guys, KageKMB here:

For Halloween of this year, we're dropping a project we've been working hard on - Greedy Goblins. CubePunks will be releasing a submission in each of the main Newgrounds - Games, Art, Movies, and Audio.

THE GAME

Greedy Goblin's game is an 8bit micro dungeon crawler. There's a wide array of traps and fiends you'll have to navigate around - with your tools being bombs to blast obstacles and your wit. With 40 levels total, this is our longest and largest title to date.

Game will be available here on Newgrounds on October 13, 2023. An announcement trailer in will also be released, in the same style as our last one.

Shortly after the game's release, the gameplay melody will be released in the audio portal. Following that, the original soundtrack to our past games will also start becoming available on Newgrounds.

COMIC

For the Art Portal: Kai-el-Jefe has been hard at work drafting a one-shot comic. It expands on the game's world, and shares a lot in common with 80's movies and comics found in gaming magazines. Here are two character concept sketches of the main dwarf (player character from the game) and a Greedy Goblin.

We're really excited to get things wrapped up in our hard work. Speaking for me personally - I've basically been working non-stop since September; with my only day off being at the DMV. So here's hoping to a smooth launch next week, so I can get some rest in peace.

There's a minor adjustment patch made to Poko Loco - including WASD compatibility.

The next game, Greedy Goblins, is making good time, and is slated to release mid-October.

We also have gotten some new art posts from KageKMB.

The next CubePunks game is about halfway completed. Here's a poster by kai-el-jefe, who came up with the idea and is doing the game's sprites.

It's another arcade-style game, this time with 8bit pixel art. If you like Zelda and/or Bomberman, it'll be for you.

Kage from CubePunks here:

Thank you all so much for the support and feedback on Poko Loco. It's been a few years since I started designing these arcade-style games, and that newest one was an accumulation of everything I learned. So being featured and the overall reception means the world to me.

The plans for CubePunks it to get at least 1 more arcade-like game done before the end of the year - this time designed by the team's main artist Kai-el-Jefe. He previously designed Vore and designed the Poko characters and style.

I'm also in the process of working on our first fully 3D game. It's a fangame project so its affiliation to CubePunks is yet to be determined (don't want to risk anything).

There's also going to work done to prototype what is my dream project, currently under the working name Crimson Blade. It's an action game, set to have the Sammy and Ace characters from Pinball Breaker as the leads.

Wrapping all this up, I'm now using Newgrounds as my primary place where I post art. I'm doing it on my personal account KageKMB (wouldn't work on this one given CubePunks the team).

If you want to see content more frequently, give it a follow. The post will range from fan art to art used in CubePunks original projects.

Again, thank you all so much.
