• Burgle a... Plushie? - 7 August 2026

  Hey all,Something a little different this time, I'm partnering with Youtooz to see if you all would like your own Burglin' Gnome plushie!Initially there was only a week's time to get 200 votes, but it was extended since votes kept still coming in! If the goal is reached it will be made into a real thing, if we don't hit it there won't be one :(I was thinking the Discord alone would be enough to get the vote over the finish line, but it seems like we need the entire community's help from Steam too!Vote through the link below:https://youtooz.com/products/burglin-gnomes-plush-9-inchThe good thing about how this plushie is handled is that it takes little to no time from me at all! Youtooz handles everything and I just need to approve certain aspects and provide them with feedback, leaving me time to work on other things ;)Keep Burglin,Fobri

• Update 1.0.10 - 15 July 2026

  This patch fixes some of the longer standing issues. Some of them were quite hard to figure out which is why they took a while! - Fixed tase a gnome task not working - Made the wind not activate on mountaintop while the vortex was active, this could cause you to fall and lose your gear - Made kissing garden gnomes easier (the angle check was too narrow and it could be a bit difficult to give smooches in certain cases) - Blender can now be properly smashed with equipment, instead of it breaking completely - Fixed the equipment stand deleting equipment if you had multiple of the same category and tried to put equipment on it - Improved the visibility of the key to make it easier to see in darker spots - Performance improvements on the GPU side - Fixed enemies spawning outside the fence and becoming stuck on Suburbs - Fixed rare house generation bug which caused missing walls and other iss…

• Post launch update - Thank you! - 7 July 2026

  Hello everyone!Burglin' Gnomes had an amazing launch month, selling over 500k copies in its first three weeks on Steam! Thank you to everyone who played the game, I could have never imagined a silly game about gnomes that I started on a whim to gather so much interest!I took some time off to relax and get my head in order the past few weeks. Right now I am working towards another bug fix update after which I will decide what I will be doing next.After I get the bug fix patch done, I will go over all the suggestions in the Discord #suggestions channel, as well as the Steam forums to see what features the community would want to see the most. I have new content ideas that I want to implement as well.As for when a new content update might be dropping, I have no timeline for that yet. I have been working hard for over a year now on the game, and especially during the last few months leading…

• Hotfix 2 - 11 June 2026

  Hey everyone, Here's another hotfix to fix some of the common pain points I've been seeing people struggle with. - Nerfed bees - Reduced the difficulty scaling intensity. Game stays easier now for longer. - Reduced Redcap spawn rates - Fixed eyeglass text errors - Reduced the Gnomium cost for home upgrades - Fixed an issue causing tasks to become impossible to complete in certain cases Improvements to the island level: - Adjusted the terrain for more spots to get out of the water - Made the sewage pipe more accessible, and moved the seagull nests away from it Also, I've noticed people want a less punishing version of the game, letting you keep home upgrades and possibly other stuff. I will be adding more game configuration options in a later update so everyone can get a pleasant experience! Thank you, the launch has gone well so far! Fobri

• Demo coming soon! - 9 January 2026

  With the playtest currently underway, feedback has been positive and quite a few bugs have already been fixed. Even with a lot of the content being absent from the demo/playtest version, players have spent hours just going through the base gameplay loop over and over again.However, the playtest has highlighted some issues with how difficult the game is, especially for solo players. This will be revised for the demo version, to make it even more fun!The demo will have the following differences compared to the full version:No progression other than equipment crafting between runsNo home upgradingOnly one levelNo furniture craftingReduced enemy varietyGenerally limited contentThe playtest will run up until 13.1, so you might still have a chance to get in if you want to try it for yourself.

• Welcome to all aspiring Burglin' Gnomes! - 14 August 2025

  The announcement of the game had an overwhelming reception on social media, and I’m stoked to see it! I decided to make this blog post to tell you all a bit more about the game. I’m afraid I don’t have anything cool and new to show this time but stay tuned for sneak peeks!The gameStarted development in December of last year and has been developed solely by me since then.Is around 50% done compared to my vision of the finished version.Answering common questions and concernsWill you be able to play as the human?The game is fully PvE and the human will not be controllable on release. However, if there is enough interest it might be added in a content patch after release, as a separate game mode.Will the game be fun only when playing with friends, or also solo?I have designed the game loop with that thought in the back of my mind. I understand that sometimes you just want to play a game and…
