Scrappy games, forged in grease & gears
GOBLINTEK is a one-goblin indie studio. Part workshop, part mad science lab. We build games by hand: every gear turned, every pixel placed, every bug squashed with a wrench.
No big budgets. No fancy offices. Just a lone developer, a keyboard, and an ever-growing pile of weird ideas waiting to be turned into playable things. We believe the best games feel handmade. A little rough around the edges, but full of heart and soul.
The workshop is open. The boiler is running. Something's always cooking.
Factory Builder / Logistics / Puzzle
The Gob King wants his bomb, a BIG one, and the factory that builds it is lost in the Fog. Push out, reclaim the scattered Buildings, and wire it all back together one Trundler at a time until the BIG BOOM is built and delivered.
Wishlist on Steam View Details →Tower Defense / Strategy / RPG
You ARE the bad guys. Build your dungeon, recruit monsters, and defend against waves of pesky "heroes" who keep trying to steal your stuff. Reverse dungeon crawler meets tower defense.
Coming Soon™ Peek at the Vaults →Notes from the workbench. Progress updates, tinkering reports, and the occasional existential crisis.
The workshop's been quiet, but the boiler never went cold. Rail Hoard has a real name now: Gobs & Gears, and a face to go with it. Fresh key art from Owen Gieni, a goblin king with a lit bomb, and a frontier laced with winding routes to conquer. The dev log is back, and there's a lot to catch you up on.
FORGE: ████████░░ BACK ONLINE
Read full dispatch →Got the core route-laying mechanic feeling really good this week. Nodes snap together with a satisfying little jolt and the cargo haulers now pathfind correctly even on branching routes. Still wrestling with the UI for switching junctions but it's getting there. Also added screen shake on delivery, it's dumb but it makes it 10x more fun.
