The final town in Even Goblins Fall In Love is a town full of goblins.
Not coincidentally, this town has the most NPCs of any town in the game.

I added the princess you'll meet at the end of the game to the castle you visit at the beginning of the game.
Dramatists refer to this as Chekov's Princess.

Castle in an 8-bit Dragon Quest-style RPG. Seven characters are visible: 3 guards, 2 towns people, the goblin protagonist, and a princess.

As we head into Spooky Season, it seems like a good time to showcase one of the enemies in the Haunted Tomb dungeon in Even Goblins Fall In Love, my 8-bit NES JRPG:
The Scream.

Even Goblins Fall In Love may be a love letter to Dragon Quest, but that won't stop me from throwing in a semi-obscure Final Fantasy reference.

Goblins have enough dark-vision to see at least a little in certain dungeons.
Can't beat a good torch though.

Doing a bit of kit-bashing with monster pieces has resulted in a series of eyeball-themed enemies.

Not to be undone by the magic key that can lock Mimics shut, the hammer item can be used in combat to instantly destroy rock enemies.

Worked with an old co-worker to create a new enemy (and variants) based on a personal obsession of ours.

You'd have to be a real Robbie D lore expert to figure out the origins for this one.
