Hey Guards,

We are excited to share that Lil Guardsman will be participating in the LudoNarraCon event starting Thursday May 9th with a developer livestream!

Join us with the writers of Lil' Guardsman play through a level and unpack the inspiration for the game's story, characters, and puzzles. Hear about LG's classic adventure game inspirations; how they riffed on (and diverged from) Lucas Pope's classic game Papers, Please; and some of the comedy and cartoon references that bring the game to life.

We'll also be live on our tinyBuild Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv] on Wednesday May 8th at 1pm PDT / 4pm EDT if you can catch us then too!

We're excited to seeing you there!

Attention, Sprawl denizens!

We pushed a hotfix today for the PC/Mac versions of the game. The fix addresses an issue that caused it to freeze in levels 1-3 if you access the level select screen.

Thanks to everyone for playing and for supporting us with your great feedback! ❤️

Greetings to all members of the Sprawl’s City Council, Mages Guild, Guard Corp, and Goblin Liberation Army!

Thanks to our community’s amazing feedback, we have released an update that addresses a number of issues. We are so grateful to everyone who took time to share their experience and who helped us improve our game. This won’t be the last update, so please keep sharing with us as you play!

Bugs squashed:

• Fixed navigation issue in Garby’s Alley that resulted in Lil getting stuck in the bottom right corner of the location
  
• Fixed bug that caused Dwarf Tinkerer to ignore player after interacting with him in level 3 if you restarted using the level select function, making it impossible to fix the jukebox.
  
• Fixed a bug where using a specific series of inputs between good and low-budget crystals you could soft-lock the game in the toolkit
  
• Fixed typo in Bosco Hoolihan’s turn in level 8 that revealed to the world what our placeholder character sprite looks like (note: it looks like the MSN messenger icon!)
  
• Fixed Spanish, German and Chinese localization for bullwhip upgrade description in Garby's Shoppe.
  
• Fixed issue in Level 11 Meribella turn. You can no longer destroy her shell, and then discover it again.

Continuity Nips & Tucks:

• Issue with Grumpkin T. Dankworth in level 8 & 10 If you reunite Grumpkin with Whelp and his end of day result indicates they run off together and he dies, you will not see him at the docks in level 10!
  
• Fixed continuity error involving Julian and Gary Goblin in levels 4 and 6. If you jail them, you won’t see them at jail anymore during level 6 but instead at the Goblin Liberation Army Headquarters.
  
• Fixed continuity error involving Gary Goblin in level 12. Fixed bug where if you saved Gary from turning to the dark side, he obviously won’t be in the final confrontation with Tyronius (and die).
  
• Fixed continuity error with the Troll suspect in level 9. If you jail the troll, he obviously can’t be in the tavern with his human date!
