Watch our wall get pretty. Cassie paints a very large, very on-the-nose mural featuring a dead bird, pink ghosts, and highly accurate view of the meatspace that surrounds us all. It is called ‘VIDEO GAMES.’

Thank you everyone for the support for Grimm’s Hollow over the years! A fanpack, containing an artbook, some wallpapers, and developer’s notes, has been released if you’re interested. (It’s currently on itch.io, but it’ll be making its way onto Steam later this June.)

recent twitter shenanigans. 

(context: an artbook is coming out soon. like tommorow.)

Hi Folks,

April-ling your way here to give ya another update!

We’re making a lot of steady progress on all the assets we need for both future things and present (demo), mainly concerning the battle system mechanics and its animated little fellas.

Over the past few days I’ve been animating and finally replacing a lot of placeholder assets, such as in the opening games tutorial and finally fully finishing it and getting to all those ‘edumacational’ bits.

I’ve attached a snippet of the tutorial in action to give you a little peak into what its like and what to expect.

For now i’ll let this short little update and its visual video aid do all the talking!

Thanks for your continued patience and support, until next time!

Hi folks, here with another accumulative update! 

Now where to begin..?

As of recently or the past month and before kinda, I’ve had a good friend of mine 8bit or Bart as I otherwise call him join us on the project for Ressurflection! He’s a smort little bean and who excels in a lot of the logical groundwork such as the math, formulas and coding tweaks of things that need doing as well as a pretty good writer! Plus he makes for a very soft cushion to land on and beat up ;)

Most of the work or works that have been going on behind the scenes can be summed up as a lot of animations, animations and more animations plus a lot of battle, battle and more battle work! There’s been countless edits and improvements to the game as a whole that I believe screenshots will do it better to showcase.

Progress is really coming along, with most of the groundwork there, there are just some very important battle bugs that need squashing such as targeting allies/enemies and the menu commands/list not populating/refreshing properly as two of the more notable.

Skills are also being worked on for the characters both visual, action sequencing and the sound part of it, it’s really all coming together as one neat little package!

Give it a month or two and we’ll have the demo ready hopefully!

Hehehehehe!

Until next time!

Hi folks, just a quick update on the project so far to keep you all in the loop!

Just before Christmas i released a small, work in progress build of the demo for a few people to play on the Ressurflection Discord. It went over really well, with the testers finding bugs, grammar mistakes and some diabolical overlooked    errors (such as a missing asset or wrong picture call) and improving the game experience overall. 

I’d firstly like to really thank everyone who played and tested that build and who relayed their feedback to me whether directly in DM or the discord in public, it has all been taken into consideration and on board this gammak train. 

As a result of it, i have been spending my time improving the overall game and replacing all the missing assets there were either placeholdered or absent in that current build. I aim to have it complete in the coming months, although i can’t place an exact ETA on it, as some of the assets in the build will apply to the game overall and not just specific scenario for the demo.

The demo as a whole, is the Prologue/Start of the game which can be completed in around 20-30minutes of time, however quite a few people spent longer than that looking into all the various little tid bits of dialogue and things to interact with.

In the meanwhile i also set up an Itchio page for the project which can be found here with an update to date synopsis, screenshots and images.

Thank you very much for your patience, i hope to have something fun and enjoyable for you all to play in the coming months.

Many thanks,

Charlotte
