Hello, we've been working hard building out the game and wanted to update the demo so people can see some of what we've done.

I do apologize in advance that any old save files will no longer be accessible in this updated version. I tried to keep the file structure compatible, but ended up needing to make some big changes, but it's for the best for the full game. I also want to note that the demo length remains the same. If you've already played it, you might not want to replay unless you're really excited to see the changes and improvements to the game.

Some updates you'll be able to see in the demo:

• New player character species: Bear!
  
• Skills! You can now gain exp, levelup, and spend skillpoints to unlock skills.
  
• New character portrait art.
  
• Tons new items.
  
• Villagers now contribute to the community projects and root cellar.
  
• New cooking recipes.
  
• New file select screen.
  
• And more! You'll have to play to see everything.

Release date news update: We are still not sure about a release date for early access, we'll decide and announce it when we feel like it's ready.

Big thanks to everyone playtesting and helping us improve the game in the discord server! <3

We hope you enjoy your time in Grimshire.

Hello,
I wanted to post a dev update since we haven't posted any updates on Steam in awhile. Here are a few highlights of progress on the game over the past few months.

Character Portraits:
Updated character portraits are in the works, it will be awhile until they're completed but here is a sneak peak at some compared to the previous version.
Critters:
2 new critters have been added to the game. There are 4 critters types you can ranch/keep in the game, the Alpheep, Bluggy, Chikree and Girtle. Each type has 5 visual variations.
Inventory Items:
We've done a big inventory item update and added over 140 new items to the game. Now when you process a food item it turns into a processed version of it, in other words, apple on dry rack = dried apple instead of "dried fruit" and apple on press = apple juice.
Environment Visuals:
A lot of work has been done to improve the visuals of the world and environment art. Here is a comparison picture showing the before and after updates to the water shader. On the left side of the purple line in this image you can see that the water looks kinda flat, without much depth and on the right side hopefully you can see how it has much more depth and color range.
Music:
45 minutes of original music has been completed and there are quite a few banger tracks in there! I can't wait to share it with y'all.

Release Date:
We're still not sure when we'll be able to release the game in early access, our goal is to do so sometime during 2025. There is still a lot of work to be done and we don't want to release a buggy low quality experience.

Thanks for all the support, kind words, and feedback so far!
