It was one month ago today that we launched. Phew! It’s been all crazy! Before The Big Day we imagined that we’d spend the first month just handling the growth, fixing what breaks and generally not getting much new stuff in while we made the oft-exhausting adjustment to 24/7 operation. But it didn’t turn out that way: instead, we’re a [...]
The end of Remember —the 8th month of the Glitchy calendar— is here, one of our most favorite in-game holidays right upon us, and we’ve added a few more items to the Zilloween collection to honor the occasion. The brand new zombie masks (with emote animations) go spookishly well with the fancy Elizabethan outfits: Of course, there’s plenty of other [...]
Over the last few months the avatar fashion department has been pushing the boundaries of costume design, and consequently, we’ve created some of our craziest outfits yet. (The good kind of crazy, of course.) With nearly 800 clothing items to choose from, there are now many options to suit all tastes, whether you want your avatar to run around as [...]
This guest post was written by Hannah Jones, who’s interning at Tiny Speck for the summer. Thanks for the post, Hannah! Since the early days of Alpha, Glitch players have been using in-game features in all sorts of creative ways to collaborate and contribute to the community. As the world has grown, we’ve noticed an increasing number of awesome projects [...]
Remember your first steps in Glitch? A friendly fruit tree showering you with cherries, a smiling piggy asking for a petting, a lovely whistle in the background and your rock buddy coaching you along the way. With so many wacky and wonderful things to explore one might even wonder if there’s anything remotely “dark” in the game. Glitch may be [...]
World Map Sometimes, it’s all about perspective. In the Glitch world it’s always been fairly easy to tell which regions border one another, but getting an idea of what the world looks like on a larger scale has been tricky. It may have been tough to tell that Groddle Forest, Meadow and Heights together comprise an island, aptly named Groddle [...]
It’s hard to believe how many weeks have gone by since we entered Beta, launched subscriptions or updated the blog. Days have become nights, weeks bled into one another, tests started and stopped. There are way more new features than we could possibly capture in a single post, but here’s a few to start with and we’ll get all caught [...]
We’re now a month into Beta and the list of new features added since the last “new stuff” round-up post has gotten reeeeeeally long. Oops! We’ll have to post new things as we do ‘em or these posts are going to stretch to infinity. So, in order to get caught up, a long list: New Maps & Map Search The [...]
Ah, right — the blog! Since we’ve been slow in posting and there’s been a lot happening, a recap of the latest big changes is in order: Subway The first subway line was added to the world, running between Groddle Forest Junction (in Groddle Forest) and Somewhat Sump in Shimla Mirch. Next up: more stops throughout the world. And someday the [...]
We’re opening the game up for another weekend-long test starting … now! Here’s the quick list of what’s new in this test: Notes: Quill, Penpersonship Skill and Paper allow you to write notes – useful for yourself, or other players. Like most things, notes wear out over time. Trophy Pieces: Top contributors to projects will receive random pieces of one [...]
