   Good to know that despite the lack of updates from crowdfunding campaigns, work on Gobliiins 5 is moving along.

     @stooovie Since Callet had passed away in 1995, I'd say it's rather unlikely.

     @dosnostalgic after the abysmal 4, this actually looks like a Goblins (Gobl5ns?) game! Nice :)

     @dosnostalgic any idea if they got the wonderful Charles Caillat to do the music again as well?

     So for anyone who doesn't know:
     Last year the artist and creator of Gobliiins, Pierre Gilhodes, ran TWO crowdfunding campaigns for Gobliiins 5:
     A French one for a goal of €3,000 that received €6,950, and an international one for a goal of the same goal that ended up receiving €7,774.
     That's around $16,000 total.
     It appears that the plan is for him to make the entire game by himself in Adventure Game Studio.

     @dosnostalgic €16000 is probably enough for one person to make a game, assuming there is no voice acting, but it's definitely not enough for them to have the time to make the game AND make regular status update posts

     Surprise: Pierre Gilhodes apparently finished his work on Gobliiins 4, and is about to release it to backers and on itch.io.
     It will come in a form of 4 executables, with 4 puzzle levels per each, because Pierre couldn't quite figure out AGS. This is about as indie as it gets, folks.

     @neffo @vanderZwan Gobliiins 4 and 5 are sequels to the first game.

     @vanderZwan @dosnostalgic the first 3 games used a decrementing number of 'i's in the naming scheme (at least in English)

     @neffo @dosnostalgic wikipedia says the fourth game came out in 2009 (I missed that too)
