Update #8 - The Big One!

Dec 31, 2022

To adapt the famous quote, "No game development plan survives first contact with reality." How does one summarize 1,474 commits across two years? For starters, we can forgo any kind of changelog - no one needs to read a short novel of updates.

Here are the highlights:

- Created an enemy "intent" system
- Added a new level!
- Added new Grumps!
- Left behind our esoteric "turns" system
- Adopted a straight-forward "hearts" system
- Updated our puzzle generation sections
- Overhauled our item & pickup system
- Changed our item unlock process
- Improved support outside of fullscreen
- Created a future expansion for Happy Meadows

As we continue in Early Access, please send us your feedback at feedback@happygrumps.com

And while we work on an in-game tutorial, you can find a placeholder at https://happygrumps.com/tutorial/

Thank you for playing!

When I fall asleep, how do I advance time?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but a grump puts me to sleep, so I can't move, and then... what? Do I just have to quit? Maybe it's been too long since I played the tutorial (if there is one?) but I couldn't pick this back up at all.

2022 Update News!

Oct 20, 2022

Whew! It has been a while, but we are here with a big blog update for Happy Grumps!

Here is a sneak peek of what is coming next.

An enemy "intent" system

It used to be a guessing game to determine which enemy would target your Happy Grumps. Now you can see enemy intent to help you calculate your next move.

New levels, new gameplay, & new Grumps!

New grumps - like these vanishing wizards below - add a new layer of strategic considerations and randomization between runs. We have added a new level and updated our "turns" system to respond to player feedback (more on that announcement later).

New items to unlock!

We completely overhauled our items & unlock structure to reward players who love mastery. And we also added an in-game speedrun clock plus more run stats for number-loving folks.

New animations, improved windowed mode support

Thanks again for being an Early Access supporter! We plan on releasing these features plus more before the end of 2022.

Update #7 - New languages!

Dec 15, 2020

We are happy to announce that Happy Grumps has two new translations: French and Russian! Many thanks to our translators for this round - Sarah Loyal, the Keetons, & the Lenchiks.

Here is a quick rundown of our other changes:

Moved the "Help Text" toggle into the Options Menu
Updated the Options Menu system to streamline future support
Added a new song to the jukebox
Prevent chests from being smashed in Snow World
Prevent the Wizard from showing an incorrect Item Pickup UI when teleporting near an Item
Fixed a bug that prevented the Wizard from using the Break trinket
Fixed a rare crash during the Collector Rescue cutscene

Special thanks for this update goes to "Namadu" for their feedback and help with bug-stomping.

2021 is almost here! It has been about six months since we launched Happy Grumps into Early Access and we are looking forward to more Happy Grumps in the coming year.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us and provided feedback!
