Technical Issues, June 9th
We're currently experiencing tech difficulties, including problems with the Steam connectivity.
We're working on fixing those problems as we write this. Regretfully, this requires also the game server to be restarted several times, either dropping the players from the game or making it impossible for them to join.
Apologies for the inconvenience and please bear with us while we're working on getting everything back to normal. Thank you!
Client & Server Update, June 8th
Today, June 8th, from 15:00 till 15:15 CET, there will be a planned server update. During that time the active players will be dropped out of the game. As always – our apologies for that!
Together with the server update we’ll push a client update to fix certain client bugs and UI issues.
Our first Steam Stream goes live tomorrow at 21:00 CET
Tomorrow, June 8th, at 21:00 CET, we’ll realize our first Steam Stream 😊 We’ll be streaming for 30 minutes at least, with the following agenda:
- Grimmwood introduction for the newcomers – why is this game different and why should you give it a chance;
- The latest update – what we did there and why;
- A pro tip and discussion – well talk about at least one highly efficient strategy of playing Grimmwood, that is – probably - not as evident to all;
- The Future – we’ll discuss some of the most imminent future updates and more specifically the Grimmwood Blitz Mode.
All through the duration of the stream you can ask your specific questions on our Discord Channel - https://discord.gg/XrW9Cye. Please use the “steam-stream-questions” room for that and we’ll try to answer as many as we can.
Last but not least – it’s our first stream, so have mercy on our mortal souls 😊 We’ll do our best to be as entertaining and as straight to the point as possible – it’s a promise!

Upcoming Update, June 5th at 13:30 CET
This Tuesday, June 5th, at 13:30 CET, we will be releasing one of our biggest updates yet. Along with all the bug fixes and balance fine-tuning, the following new features/updates will be included:
A new "Pick a Village to Play In" function
With each new Character Creation the Player will get the right choose from a list of the currently opened Villages in which his/her Steam Friends are playing. The Player is also allowed to choose a random Village if he/she chooses to. Additional information will be displayed is displayed for each Village, showing which game day the Village is in, and how many Players are currently playing in it.
Important: Please note that in order to work this feature needs you to switch your Steam account to Public Mode (the default option.)
Full French and Spanish Localization
Grimmwood will now be fully playable in both French and Spanish language (you need to choose the respective language from the in-game Options menu.)
Faster and more effective “Banish a Player” procedure
• The Banish vote will no longer be "nullified" at the end of the game day (if a majority hasn't been reached); Instead, the vote will stay active until a deciding condition is met, with no time limit;
• The vote deciding conditions will be: a) a 50% + 1 player have voted; or b) at least 5 Villagers have voted and there's at least one vote more either "for" or "against" (the deciding vote).
• Once a vote has started, and there's at least 1 vote in favor, the respective Player will not be able to take any items from the Storage or craft items in the Workshop.
Perk Re-rolls are now up to 10
You said you wanted more Perk re-rolls and we heard you. This will also give the players a better chance to experience the game from a new perspective.
Use of the Rejuvenation Elixir will be restricted to one elixir per day per Villager
This is to prevent a potential misuse of the Rejuvenation Elixir either by Griefers or inexperienced Players.
Experiencing technical difficulties
Today we had technical server issues which might have prevented certain players from logging in the game.
They might have been also some unexpected game related events, which appeared as bugs. We'd really apprceciate it if you can find the time to report any such occurrences in the in-game Feedback form (to be found in the in-game Options menu, top left corner) or in our What-Went-Wrong bug reporting Discord channel!
We are investigating the problem as we write this. At the moment the game appears to be 100% playable. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your support and understanding!
The basic Steam Friends matchmaking live today!
Today, from 14:30 – 14:45 (CET), there will be a planned server update. During that time the players won’t be able to connect to the game server, preventing them from playing. As always – our sincere apologies for the inconvenience!
The main reason for the update is the first iteration of the basic Steam Friends matchmaking. From this point on, each time a Player dies, he/she will be sent to an opened Village with the most of his/her Steam Friends currently playing. So, go on and make some new friends on Steam 😊 It’s going to be worth it 😊
As any other new feature, this one has also been thoroughly tested before going live. Nevertheless, if you encounter any problems or peculiarities, please let us know. Thank you!
Planned Server Update, May 21st
Today, from 13:30 till 13:45 CET, there will be a planned server update. The update is needed for the faster Stamina Regeneration balance changes to take effect.
During the update time the players will lose connection with the server, preventing them from playing the game. We apologize for the inconvenience!
