Introducing 4 new Player Species and the \"Time lapse\" feature with which you can view the progress of your farm over time. Check it out in the Exit tab of the pause menu. (If you get this update mid play thru, your time lapse will be missing images for any past days.) We\'ve also added lots of fixes and tweaks. Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports to helps us improve things!

\nA lot of folks have been asking when year 2 will be coming out. We have no estimated release date for year 2 currently. I\'ll post an update when we do. It\'s not coming out any time soon.

Hey everyone! The day is finally here, Grimshire is officially out in Early Access! Weve been working on this cozy-but-grim little world for the past 3 years, and were super excited to finally share it with y\'all.

Theres still a lot more we want to add, improve, and polish. Your feedback will help us shape the future of the game! Thank so much for being here whether youve been following since the start or just joined. We cant wait to hear what you think.

A few important things I want to mention:\n1) In the previous announcement for the release date drop I mentioned that the content offers about 2030 hours but after doing a lot of beta testing, we found out it\'s more like 40-50 hours. Enjoy!\n

2) I\'m sorry the old demo save files won\'t carry over into the full game. Too much has changed in the old save file structure. Note that any new save files created in the new demo version uploaded today (v0.22.8DEMO) will be compatible with the full game.

3) In early access, you can play throughout year 1, but your file will be stuck on Winter 28th once you get there. The day keeps repeating after you go to bed. We will be adding more content and story in the future.\n\n4) The original soundtrack dropped on Steam today as well!\n\nGrimshire v1.0 Roadmap These are the major things we\'re planning on adding to the game. This list does not include everything and is subject to change.

• Localizations

  [/*]

• Year 2 content and story

  [/*]

• Romance/Relationships/Marriage

  [/*]

• Children

  [/*]

• Rival relationships

  [/*]

• Remappable controls

  [/*]

• Festivals (improvements to the current and maybe add more)

  [/*]

• More stations (Seed maker, kiln, mushroom log, etc)

  [/*]

• Greenhouse

  [/*]

• Player species (more choices)

  [/*]

• Decor (more decor items)

  [/*]

• Multi barns and coops

  [/*]

• House/barn/coop exterior color customization

  [/*]

• Pets

  [/*]

• Mounts\n\n

\n
• Fully play through all of Year 1.\n
• After that, youll loop on Spring 1, Year 2 (until more content is added).\n

• You get all content updates throughout EA and the full version of the game when it releases, your file will not be deleted when there are content updates.\n
• There will never be microtransactions or paid DLC. You pay one price one time, to gain access to everything that will ever be in the game.\n

\n

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.\n\nI 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.\n\nSome updates you\'ll be able to see in the demo:\n

Hello,\nI 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.\n\nCharacter Portraits:\nUpdated 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.\n\n\nCritters:\n2 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.\n\n\nInventory Items:\nWe\'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.\n\n\nEnvironment Visuals:\nA 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.\n\n\nMusic:\n45 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.\n\nRelease Date:\nWe\'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.\n\nThanks for all the support, kind words, and feedback so far!
