Earlier we also released information and a few screens showing our new randomization system in its early stages.


    missing Our First Gameplay Video is Posted!
    Posted: March 29, 2011 by Medierra

    Huzzah! At long last, we are very proud to present our first video of Grim Dawn gameplay. This video shows a mostly soldier class character rampaging through the Burrwitch Slums area outside Devil's Crossing. Behold as zombies are gibbed, furniture is trashed, and... well, more things are gibbed! Rounding out the end of the video is a peek at one of the demolition class skills: canister bomb.

    Here is a link to the video section, or feel free to watch it on YouTube and leave us a friendly comment. First Look at Combat!

    missing At long last - our first video is posted!
    Posted: October 26, 2010 by Medierra

    It is quite exciting and also a huge relief to finally share our first video with the world and see that the initial reaction has been very positive! We were honestly very anxious even though this is just a small environmental pan-around to whet the appetite. We hope to release a few more environmental videos like this in the next couple... dare I say months?

    Without further ado, here are the goods: Old Grove Environment Video


    missing Websites Will Be Down for Maintainance!
    Posted: September 17, 2010 by Medierra

    Our websites will be down for a short period while we transition to a new hosting service. We expect this process will only take a couple hours and the site should back up before you know it. Most likely this will occur sometime on Saturday. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, we've added a new section to the forum called "What are we up to now?" This is sort of a casual section where developers can post little blurbs every now and then about whatever they happen to be working on (assuming it isn't too confidential). The idea is to make it easier for developers to share so the community can be more involved in the project and occasionally get a sneak peak at stuff before we officially roll it out. Hope you enjoy!.


    missing Conversation Editor and Destructible Environments Revealed!
    Posted: July 24, 2010 by Medierra

    If you haven't seen the thread yet, check out Rhis conversing about the new conversation editor; part of our new quest system. He's posted a preliminary write up with some of the current features and even a few screenshots

    Also, a new screenshot has been posted in the media section revealing an exciting new feature: destructible environments. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of this in the coming month as we enable many more objects in the game to be destructible. For more info follow the thread!


    missing Screenshots and Quest Editor
    Posted: June 30, 2010 by Medierra

    June has been a busy month. Four new screenshots adorn the media section in silent testimony of our visual advances over the past month. I dare say we've come a long way since March.

    We recently got a question on the forum about whether Grim Dawn would include a new quest editor. At the time we didn't have a definitive answer but, a few days ago, we examined the issue and made the decision to scrap the existing quest tech and rebuild the system from the ground up.

    The decision was made on the basis that it would be a significant time savings for design, reduce the potential for bugs that was inherent with the old system, give us greater power to create compelling quests, and, well, basically because the old system totally sucked. The new system is already well underway and we look forward to sharing more detail about it when it is complete!
