Dusk developer blames his cat for releasing Chop Goblins three weeks early

Chop Goblins

The Chop Goblins are loose, chopping their way through time itself in their ravenous quest for cheese. And the chop will not stop.

David Szymanski, the developer behind 2018 retro-styled shooter, Dusk, has just released his new game… three weeks ahead of schedule. Chop Goblins was anticipated to launch on 2 January 2023, but it appears David Szymanski and his cat had other ideas.

On 12 December, Chop Goblins hit Steam. Who did David Szymanski first blame for it? His cat, Zamboni. “WTF, I just came upstairs to my office and discovered the Zamboni released Chop Goblins early! They must remind him of himself,” the tweet reads.

Zamboni is pictured, sat on what we can assume to be David’s chair, looking innocent and adorable as ever. The Dusk creator later followed up with a new tweet, linking Chop Goblin’s Steam page, saying, “I was bored, so Chop Goblins is out now.” So, Zamboni isn’t an evil mastermind after all, but any excuse to share a cute cat picture (even if it means releasing a game early) is a good one if you ask me.
