Developer posts and news about this game.
I can't quite believe it, but Grim Earth has just left Early Access, after two and half years ... it's nice to see the game's store page without the Early Access branding! I'm delighted with the game, it feels like the right time to release the full version. Of course I intend to
EDIT : Sorry, but the game's delayed one more day. Now releasing on Friday Oct 15th! I'm really sorry ... but I'll have to delay the release of Grim Earth by two weeks (Oct 14) : ( I'm working on things that could possibly wait for an update, but with so many games coming out I f
A quick pre-release update that tweaks the gameplay speed (just a fraction), has improved sound/music and introduces radios ... some of which you can carry : D
To everyone who bought the Early Access, thank you for your patience and for your feedback! This game took me way longer than I thought it would ... in fact, it's just gone over the five year mark! I've updated all the assets on Steam (well, for my game at least) and even the tra
Fixes a crash on load due to old keyboard config data.
Hello : ) I've just uploaded a new Early Access build, which features the latest gameplay/graphics. Although there are fewer levels in this build, I've included a Spoilers option which lets you try out later levels, set in locations which have not been seen before. The game is 10
Hello : D The game's going well, still developing it full time! I've been working on levels for the last few weeks, continually playing the game and fixing/polishing things as I find them. There's been zero mods/refactors made to the engine, so I think it's finally stable enough
Hey, as you may have just read ... Grim Earth has reached its Beta : D I've finished the last section of the game (!) and played through the whole thing, title screen to title screen (!!) ... there's no placeholder art and everything worked (!!!) It really feels like a different
Hello : ) First, I hope all who read this have had the best 2020 possible, it's been a strange year for sure. I'm sorry for the complete lack of updates. I have been working on Grim Earth full time, the whole year, it's just that I'm maybe too focused on the development side of t
It's finally here, the second section of Grim Earth! It was great to get such nice feedback when Grim Earth first launched ... I really hope you like this follow-up section. It's quite different, mainly because for most of it you're floating around, a bit odd for a platformer. Th
Hello, I'm happy to report the second section of Grim Earth is done : D It's definitely taken me longer than I'd hoped and I am sorry for this. I've learned a few important lessons along the way which should lead to more frequent updates going forward. The main lesson I learned i
Hello, here's a quick update on the second chunk of Grim Earth : ) I've mainly been working on the graphics. Spaceships are tricky, there's a lot of straight edges so it's easy to make them look boring! I've got the first pass of the creatures working too. Decided to go with robo
First, thanks to everyone who purchased Grim Earth on its first week of Early Access, I really appreciate it ... Thank You! The launch took around three weeks in all, so this has been my first solid week of game dev in a while. I'm pleased (and a little relieved) to say it's gone
Got to say, I *really* like how easy it is to make updates on Steam : ) This must be my fifth update in the last week, but I thought I'd post about this one as it improves a few 'action' rated items : Firing while crouching is now more reliable : The spaceman doesn't like firing
Hey, as there's no Grim Earth demo I wanted to give an idea of what to expect from the Early Access build. There's a bunch of great playthrough videos on YouTube, but of course I'd recommend that it's best to play it ; ) The initial Early Access build includes the first location
Hey, I've just released the first Grim Earth update. The main difference is the CRT effects (scan lines and noise) now default to off. This makes the footage when streaming/recording a lot clearer. I've also made it so your health doesn't regenerate by itself as seen in some earl
Okay, so the game's taken a lot longer than I'd hoped, but the first section is done and it'll be available on Steam any day now ... some six months after the release date! Most of the delay has been down to me improving the engine, making it easier for me to produce new content/
