Let's keep it short.
We successfully reached the Kickstarters goal. Thank you all who supported GRUNND and gave it a start. A start of the road past the Demo, which was so lovingly created. And by "lovingly" I mean "with love and dedication, despite so many hurdles and mountain of new grey hair".
The fast was, that the Kickstarter funding was not enough to deliver the game in it's fullest. Yes - our inner goal was a bit different. Now I can surely point to couple mistakes and/or mishaps, and/or failed hopes which influenced this. AnYhOo - it was a question whether to make a shortened version of GRUNND, refund the money or get help.
And we got help! I did a cloudy announcement about it via Kickstarter a while ago, but without mentioning names. Now, today - I can do that fully!
We, SEKTAHOUSE [the name "Neoteric Rites" was dropped due to copyright issues during registration] have partnered up with great new outfit called Bright Gambit. They are small private investment initiative with diverse and complementary experience in many aspects of the industry. They helped us in more than one way and will continue to do so till GRUNND's world domination. Good guys, yey!
By the way - they do an announcement today as well. CLICK HERE to see who they are and what projects they support already!
GRUNND is coming out this year. Late this year. But we figured out, this summer's SteamNextFest is the right place to start off. Thus you are all very invited to our first ever LIVE broadcast soon, during SteamNextFest, on Thursday, June 16th.
As always - everyone is welcomed to play the Demo and reach out!
All the best,
- Olafs @ GRUNND
Slava Ukraini!
