Grimmwood
Grimmwood: They Come at Night going offline! Thank you all for supporting us!
Almost one year ago, our game “Grimmwood: They Come at Night” launched on Steam and we had players from all over the world joining us for an exciting and challenging adventure. Brave men a women that joined forces and worked together towards a common goal, to defend their village from a dark evil that was lurking in the mystical forest just outside their home.
Today is a sad day for us at Headup and Big Moustache Games as we have to inform you that Grimmwood can no longer be bought on Steam or any other store and the game servers will now be deactivated.
We really wish that there was a way for the game to continue but after going through all possible scenarios we see no other option.
We want to thank all of you for your support throughout the past year.
Thank you and kind regards

Grimmwood 1.0 released
It said that quite a few people start something… but very few finish it. We’re real proud to announce that our first game as a studio is a fact! No in beta, not as early access, but as a fully-fledged online MMO:
> Store page
It was quite a journey so far, but it was all worth it – the good, the bad and the ugly, all of it. It’s a great feeling and this is only the beginning. So, come and join us in the Village – we’ll gather around the fire and everyone will tell their story of the day. But, mark our words, the journey has just begun. The best is yet to come!
The Open Beta ends tomorrow, August 2nd, at 5pm CET (8am PDT)
As of tomorrow, August 2nd, 5pm CET, Grimmwood: They Come at Night will be officially available for purchase on Steam which also means that the Open Beta support will be discontinued.
From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for taking part in the game’s development so far! It’s been quite a journey, hopefully – for both you and us. One thing is for sure – Grimmwood could never become what it is today without you! But the road is still ahead of us – together we can achieve great things. So bear with us – we won’t let you down!
See you in the Village!
Live Twitch Stream - The Road Ahead (Friday, July 27th, 9pm CET)
Grimmwood 0.8.0.0 and Blitz mode coming up today
The next update is coming up today (16-Jul-18) between 13:00 and 14:00 CET, so expect a short server downtime in that interval.
This update is huge, adding a completely different mode (Blitz), a lot of UI improvements and new features like loot drop of monsters and others! We hope that this will offer an enjoyable experience for the players that like the atmosphere and the idea of the game, but dislike the slow paced asynchronous multiplayer. Please let us know what you think once you can check it out - we care for each and every opinion shared.
The change log will be available in the corresponding Discussions thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/850290/discussions/0/1692669912403067408/
Enjoy!
Twitch live stream - Introducing the Blitz Mode (July 13th, 9pm CET)
As you might have already heard – the Blitz Mode is upon us! To introduce the new game mode we’re organizing a live Twitch stream, this Friday night (July 13th,) starting at 9 pm CET ( https://www.twitch.tv/grimmwoodgame ).
The whole BMG team will be playing Blitz Mode in a single Village. Come and see for yourself how seriously can a developer suck at its own game :) We’ll try our best not to disappoint! And of course we will share lots on insight on what’s different in the Blitz Mode and how it should be approached. We’ll also try to answer as many of your questions as we can. So may the Forest Spirits have mercy on our mortal souls…
Steam Stream, Episode 3 – June 22
This time we will talk less of how Grimmwood works from the inside, and more about how it should look… and sound based on our actual dev plans.
Here’s the agenda for tonight:
1. Answering some big questions from your own feedback.
2. Introducing the “Terrain-Scapes” and the idea behind them
This is about the animated stills meant to introduce each terrain type and shown each time you go from one terrain to another on your local map.
3. Introducing the new terrain sound ambiences
We’ll talk more about the basic idea behind it and why these should feel unique each time they are played in-game.
4. Introducing the Grimmwood soundtrack
You’ll have the chance to be the first outside the studio to have a quick taste of the first couple of tracks of the forthcoming exclusive game soundtrack.
Planned Server and Client Update, June 21st
Here’s the change log for the update:
