Grid Slayer 1.2 update!

Huge update! All of the art for the Cards has been updated!!! This update also comes with a new Enchant, Map, Perk, 2 new Enemies and 3 new Cards. Unlock the 'Biomancy' Insight to access it all. Enjoy! Let me know what you want to see in the next update.

Grid Slayer 1.1

- Added Endless Mode! Test your skills to the limit and see how far you can go before either you or the game breaks. You can still earn Slayer Points in this mode so it serves as a valid alternative to the original 'Classic' mode. - Besides Endless Mode, the aim of this update is to consolidate and improve on what we released at 1.0. We have a lot of bug fixes this update and the game has become very stable since 1.0. You can read about these in more detail in the small updates since launch. Balance changes: Removed the 'Channel' Enchant. The King now has more base HP to make the first go at the boss a bit more climactic. Infinite draw combos should now be much harder to achieve. Plus lot more and updating as I get feedback. Some quality of life improvements including a nicer highlighter for Tiles. The next update will add a whole bunch of new Cards, Enchants, Enemies and more, based on a 'leafy' theme. Tell me what you want to see in the next update!

Hotfix 8th February 2022

- New Dialogue to help clarify things. - Confirmed fix for Chinese text characters. Up next: I'll continue to monitor the game and fix any bugs that are reported.

Hotfix for 3rd February 2022

- Burning Cards should now update immediately. - Fixed left over status effect graphics from previous battles. - Sorted out fonts issue for Chinese and Cyrillic.

Grid Slayer 1.0 Release Date and future Roadmap!

I am proud to announce that Grid Slayer will be leaving Early Access on February 2nd 2022, 2/2/2022. The game is so much better off thanks to your feedback and guidance during Early Access. I've had an absolute blast working on this from start to finish and I hope you all have just as much fun playing the finished product. It doesn't end here. For as long as people keep playing and for as long as there are good ideas, I will keep growing Grid Slayer so there's always an excuse to come back for a little splash of turn based action. Here is our roadmap for 2022. Grid Slayer road map: Q1 2022: True final boss fight is added and 1.0 balancing is finalized. Grid Slayer leaves Early Access. Spanish, German, Russian and Chinese translations. More to come in future. Q2 2022: Endless mode: A quick and casual mode that only ends when you lose. Q3 2022: Dark Magic: Necromancy and summoning themed content pack. Q4 2022: Biomancy: Healing and plant themed content pack.

Grid Slayer's first big update!

It's the first big update for Grid Slayer, and it is huge. Main features:

  • New Insights come with new Enemies, Enchants, Perks and some game changing difficulty modifiers.
  • You can now save between battles in a campaign.
  • You can now mouse over an enemy to predict their move direction.
  • Optimization. The game should run a lot smoother and be less prone to bugs.
  • A whole lot of new music from Mike Panayiotis.
  • A whole lot of new art from Maly Miller.
I'm consistently taking feedback from players for balance changes and features for the game. The next update will be the 1.0 version and will contain the true final boss fight as well as some other goodies. Come join the discussions forum here on Steam or the discord and let me know what you would like to see in Grid Slayer 1.0 and beyond. We are also working on translation into several languages. If you want instant access to new content and fixes as they happen, feel free to install the beta build.

Beta branch save file fix

If you're on the beta branch and have a save file from before the latest update, your save file may have just broken, or things may fail to load entirely. It's easy to fix: - From the Title Screen, Start a new game. - Toggle an Insight on and off (any Insight). - Quit the game completely. - Restart the game and your save should be fixed. If there are any problems at all with this build, please let me know. As far as I know it's totally bug free.

Beta branch now available!

You can now download and play the beta branch of Grid Slayer. To activate: Right click on Grid Slayer in your Steam Library and select Properties. Then click 'betas' and select the beta testing option. Steam should then immediately start downloading the latest Grid Slayers update. Meet the Mad Alchemist, the Shroom Ninja, updated enemies, smoother optimization, new Card art and some new Insights to change up the game. And undoubtedly a whole bunch of bugs to go with them: you can report them through the "Bugs" topic here on the community. You can also join our Discord! I'll post more details about all the changes when I upload the update to the main build. Until then enjoy the beta version of Grid Slayers with plenty of new content to sink your claws into. The next big update for Grid Slayers is confirmed for December 2021 and we're well on track to finish the game early next year. Stay tuned!

First big update for Grid Slayer

Big update. I got some great feedback and advice from the players and having my game out there for people to see has a way of lighting a fire under my bum. So we have a juicy update for you to start the new week.
Quality of Life: - Mouse Camera control! - Buttons for End Turn, Skip Draft and to progress dialogue. - You can now play the entire game without touching your keyboard. - 21:9 support. Accessibility: - New 'Warning' signs no longer just colour coded. Graphics: - New 'map loading'! Instead of a boring white wash to transition between scenes, the pieces now fall from the sky one by one. - Missing Arachnomancy assets replaced. - Nicer High Peak, Ice Cave and Volcano Tiles. - Missing Mod assets replaced. Optimization: - Fixed some runtime issues people were having on various systems by optimizing the code. - Fixed issues with obstacles not quite interacting properly if there is a lot going on. Now I welcome you to try Earthquake in the Alchemist's Lab and see how it goes. - Fixed it so a Counter attack will successfully interrupt an enemy's Dash attack. - There should be fewer frame skips when everything catches fire at once. - Quite a few bug fixes. Balancing: - Water Soul now requires you to be on a Wet Tile. - Crown of Silver now starts you with 5 Endurance. - Crown of Gold now increases the Coin you earn. - Lots of changes to various cards to make them more balanced. - Lots of various little fixes here and there. Next update: Our artist, my wife, Maly Miller, is hard at work drawing the missing Card art and getting ready for the next batch so we can release some more content. Meanwhile, I will be balancing the game, taking feedback, and making sure it is as smooth and as polished as can be. So don't be shy with your feedback! The next big update will be in December. There may be smaller updates and hotfixes between now and then. If you've been enjoying the game, it helps us tremendously if you write a review. Cheers!

Ask me Anything: chat with the developer!

I'm Otis Miller the developer of Grid Slayer. We're a small capital 'I' Indie studio comprised of myself and my wife Maly who does the art. We also have Mike Panayiotis who is doing some great music for Grid Slayer. I'm from London, UK and I currently live in Tenerife, Spain with Maly and our two cats. We also made Blacksmith and Human Factory, which are also available on Steam. It's been an amazing ride learning to make games over the last 5 years and I'm very happy to share anything I've learnt with anyone who asks. If you want to learn more about Grid Slayer, or game development, or maybe you're a budding developer looking for inspiration, please join us for this AMA.
