GRUNND on The Storyteller's Festival

And, indeed - GRUNND is rolling through Steam Spring Sale with Developer Stream. If you're new here - why not pop in and listen to my awful rambling.

GRUNND Soundtrack - beautiful, marvelous, one of the kind!

UK based composer Ed Watkins has bestowed upon our mere mortals this beautiful soundtrack. It has "GRUNND" written all over it.

Ed, I am so happy we have met. I could even call you Sir Edward [which would be weird, because it's not your name] for such a great job and understanding.

Click here to get right to it!

As a developer of GRUNND, I have to say - this Soundtrack has a better build quality - no bugs, no glitches.

I dedicate this release to Melnis, who passed away this morning. He was twenty summers old warrior. I love you, Melnis.

And here comes another version update - v1.017!

Worked on:

- some visual glitches here and there;
- edited triggers in the Farm Interior to maybe ensure better trigger of Narrator's lines, but that was caused by different reasons in the end, so I am mentioning this here for no reason really;
- added TicketMaster and OldHag to overall NPC Master Sound group - they were gone rogue upon setup;
- corrected the behavior of new SaveGame slots - now they are changing colours if already used within Main and Pause Menus.

GRUNND is part of Steam Mystery Fest

A broadcast about music, visuals and inspiration will be live the whole week!

P.S. We have a heavy snowfall today and it plays with my mobile interwebs and, thus, the stream - apologies for that.

Besides everything some EXTRA FILES are coming in

Many of you have enjoyed in-game soundscape composed by marvelous Ed Watkins. And, trust me, you can listen it as a separate thing very well. I know I do!

Thus the fork on music compilation have begun. No dates yet.

Also, the ArtBook! Great visuals accompanied with Protagonist's notes about his journey. Some [really - just "some"] secrets might be revealed. Well, maybe at least, made cleared.

And - yes - all yer regular fixes as well.

Like GRUNND? Please, leave a REVIEW!

A lot of lessons learned. And I am more than confident that second part of the Trilogy will be bigger and better. Less hick-ups, more atmosphere, story and, well, mystery.

One of the things publishers look on are the reviews. I am so, SO thankful for reviews already left - they are amazing, lovely and I am giving high-five to every one of the authors [yes, also to the negative ones].

Unfortunately it's a number game and the more we have of good stuff the better. So, please, if you liked GRUNND, leave a review - even a shortest one.

P.S. We are slowly starting to test Mac and Linux versions. It's not a fast process, but we're on the way.

Thank you,

- Olafs @ GRUNND

Update 1.016 is grand!

- Added Volume Controls! [can be bugs, I'll work on it further]
- Keypad not showing
- small patch will follow soon with some minor polish in v1.016a

BUGFIX 1.015 more nibs and nabs

This build got updates in following areas:

- Ending plays! Even more fixes for that bas**** to show up. Now it does;
- Some unneeded ParticleSystems do not show up anymore;
- some triggers modified to shoot only once;
- various corrections within levels regarding placement of some objects [a bit lower, a bit higher, etc.];
- addressed correct turn of Hero [whether he is facing left or right upon load];
- couple lines triggered incorrectly - fixed;
- map updates with missing pieces;
- some Quest progression changed to provide more timely information.

On the way:
- Audio Controls;
- Slight PauseMenu change to better up the UI.

Even more great updates for GRUNND!

I was not sure whether GRUNND needs it. But in the end I decided YES.

With this update GRUNND gets an option to manually Save and Load games via two optional slots. There will be always an AutoSave - it will not go anywhere, but this extra flexibility, if you needed one, will make playing GRUNND more enjoyable.

Also updated Ending a bit, and some small fixes I don't even remember. Should've written those down.

Also yesterday sent out keys to our BETA testers, who participated in testing during December.

Update the installation!
