Secrets of Grindea » Weekly Recap #74: Pillarmountic Table

Let’s start off with the game related stuff we can show off! Vilya has, among other things, created the temple entrance for the temple of seasons:

The symbols on the circles signify the different seasons, and we’ve got some mechanics in store for the temple that we hope will be fun to use :)

In other news, Teddy and Fred has gotten their new apartment in order for maximum Grindea grinding! A step in that direction has been to create two coffee tables themed after the game.

Above is a shot taken right after we finished them up

And here they are in their natural habitat (sorry for bad camera :[ )

We haven’t been slacking off, though! As promised, we’ve started working on the temple boss, but we don’t want to show it off just yet. How much do you guys want to see anyway? Are you afraid of spoilers? Do you want us to show everything?

Sometimes we feel that we’re showing off a bit too much, but maybe that’s what you guys following the dev blog want anyways!

dont worry you are not showing too much :D
hope it was fun chosing the type of the boss :D
And it is the right thing not to show the boss now
Maybee it generaly should be secret
So we have some things to discover ourselves

Nice work so far and keep going

I personally don’t like any kind of spoilers when playing a game for the first time.
In my opinion you should try not to show important things of the game like the bosses. It’s much better when you get in there for the first time and get to see it.

The temple entrance looks great! All those beautiful pixels really come together nicely. Cool tables too =P

Showing off too much? I don’t know how the others feel, but these DevBlog updates are such teasers for me! Maybe you are showing just enough, but I am always open to seeing new stuff when it comes to Secrets of Grindea! But hey, as long as I get a little something now and then to keep me excited, then it’s all good.

This game is going to amazing. Keep up the awesome work guys.

Good art there!

I for one enjoy the amount of content you’re showing currently.
No need to see the boss to be both teased and informed about progress.

Aside from content I’m also equally interested in the development itself : the general progress, what you’re excited about, what difficulties you’re facing, the tools you’re using, the environment you create the game in etc… I think it’s an important part of a dev blog.

So if you can keep on feeding us that kind of info on a weekly basis, my thirst is quenched.

Keep on the great work!

Regards,

Yangna

I think the stuff u showed us is ok. But i defenitly dont want to see the boss. The first boss u showed me enough to expect much from your new bosses;)
I like what u show about the different areas that can be explored and some details about that area.
But please dont give to much info…i wouldnt buy this game only for grinding everything i can:P but also to explore the world and its different monsters.

I want to see more about the game in general, but not every detail. Some spoilers are okay, but I want to figure out the boss and his attacks on my own.
Anyway, cool tables and great artwork!

I am devouring everything you guys post but at the same time i am wondering if i am ruining my experience when i will finally play your game. I think as long as you guys dont go TO “in depth” things should be ok for me. For example: Post a picture of the boss but dont tell anything about mechanics or give us a wrong idea about its actual size.

I actually stopped reading the Dev Blog because I want to be able to enjoy the game as an experience, instead of knowing exactly what to expect. That being said, I’m here now ^_^ I keep getting sucked back in by the awesomeness! I’m going to stop though, because I am excited for the experience. I don’t want you to think I’m not sending my love though! I am so excited to buy this game

Honestly, I want to see everything, including all of the bugs and unpolished pieces. But I’m strange like that and that is why I signed up to be a beta tester.

I look forward to the new posts every week. Does the blog support a spoiler hiding function like some forums do?
