Original postHello everyone!
I know you havent heard from me in a while but I needed to take some time to rebuild my life from previeous events that had happend witch I discussed in a previous news post.
But as the title suggests.. grimtale island is comming back!
This game has always been my passion and i am now finally back in a place where I can make it a reality.
The game was recently released from early access priced at under £1. This may have brought some questions to people's minds and I will now hopefully explain my reasoning behind this.
I didnt want to release another app where previous players would have to re buy the game at full price as I dont feel like this is fair and I am not a cash grab developer.
Also i want to give new players the chance to grab a copy while the game is cheap.I look forward to showing you the new game. I will post updates on progress as soon as possible.
Thank you

END OF DEVELOPMENT
Hello everyone... First i would like to apologise for not updating you straight away, you will realise why shortly. I would like to be 100% transparent in the reason why Grimtale island's development stopped, unfortunately my 6 years of marriage came to an end on October 30th 201
Original postHello everyone...
First i would like to apologise for not updating you straight away, you will realise why shortly.
I would like to be 100% transparent in the reason why Grimtale island's development stopped, unfortunately my 6 years of marriage came to an end on October 30th 2018 and as you can all imagine with 3 young children this was some very difficult news to swallow for myself and my family.
at this point in time there was no plans to end Grimtale islands development process and to be very honest there was no plans of much in this time, i moved out from my home to live back with my dad and with no money coming in i had to provide for my children and to do that i needed a full time job. at this time i was working on Grimtale island still to 1 try to keep my promise to you guys and 2 to keep my mind occupied on something other than the previous events.
unfortunately i realised i could not keep up development while seeing my children and holding down a full time job and had to choose what was most important to me... and a full time job with a regular income to support my kids was the obvious choice.
I'm sorry i could not keep my promise to you all and Grimtale island will always be a plan for the future but not as an early access title.
to end, i would like to thank everybody who supported me and the game through the development process and who stayed when things got tough!
you are all amazing!.I will now make the current version of Grimtale Island Free to play, this may anger people who paid money for the game but i feel like this is the correct thing to do without removing the game from the library as i feel the game in its current state can still be enjoyed.
thank you
