I wanted to share a couple fun things with everyone! The first is something I’m very excited about:
New plushies from Fangamer!!
Clomper and Glanter are joining Shrumbo, just in time for the holidays!
The Clomper is indeed quite a big boy compared to the others (as seen in the above pic).
You can grab them all (as well as our physical Switch edition) from the Fangamer Ooblets Collection
❄️ Wintertime Event Live(ish) ⛄️
For this year's Wintertime Event, we added new house exteriors, clothing, accessories, and themed oobmobiles, as well as spruced up the Badgetown decor. Collect the bobbles and use the machines in town center to snag the new stuff. And don't forget the oobmobiles in the event kiosk in the Dept. of Ooblet Vehicles!
The event will run until January 10th which is a bit later than usual because we goofed up the Switch timing and the new event won’t be available for Switch players for a few days still. It is live for PC and Xbox players right now, though.
Here's what happened with the Switch launch:
We've been working really hard to lower the game's RAM usage because we think memory caps might be causing crashes for some Switch players. To that effort, we recently made a bunch of major structural changes to how the game loads and handles assets and have succeeded in lowered its RAM usage considerably! That should lower the chances of crashes and may even slightly lower some load times. Unfortunately, those changes also ended up creating quite a few new bugs that have held us up in certification.
We now have a new build we're pretty confident about but it still needs to get through cert, so we don't know exactly when it will go live. I'm hoping by Monday. The delay is why we've extended the event until Jan 10th. In the meantime, last year's event is still live (and compared to the Halloween Event, it's not hugely different than this year's).
So that kinda stinks but you should still have plenty of time to grab everything from the event when it eventually goes live. We’re very sorry about the delay!
We hope you all have very safe and happy holidays ❤️
