GROVE: Nostalgia's End Development update 2022
Hey there! First off I want to say thank you for taking the time to stop by and check out GROVE! My name is James, I'm the solo developer of GROVE: Nostalgia's End. While I've been buried in my screen for months now, this little love letter to retro gaming nostalgia has been brought to life. If you are a fan of the 16 and 32 bit golden era of RPG games, or just love story driven turn based adventures, I hope you will have some fun in the world of GROVE.
I wanted to take a little time and discuss the timeline and my plans for the continued development of the game. I work as a full time musician aside from developing the game, and, as the world is slowly starting to open back up for travel and performance, I will be develop when I am at home. Currently at the time of writing this, around 8-9 hours of story have been coded into the game, my end plan is to shoot for total play time to be between 30-40 hours to have the proper time to take the characters on this crazy adventure.
This week I've released the first early beta demo of the game. This includes the entire first chapter's story, as well as several side diversions, I hope you'll enjoy your time in Vapor City and discovering the world of GROVE: Nostalgia's End.
