Day 27! Silensea Stumbles In!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, May 30, 2022 at 03:13:17 PM

HI everyone! We are now above $38,000 sitting at $38,200! We're on our way to stretch goal number 2, 20 more grimmlins! This one is a fan favorite for my discord community so let's push to it! I believe we can make it with our last day push if we can keep momentum up, especially with the continued velocity from Lockstin's video that is starting to get close to 150,000 views.

Moving on to grimmlin news things, iiit's Silensea!

A water and life type evolution of Mermelody based on The Little Mermaid. Silensea fully gains the ability to walk on land to get closer to someone. Her seaweed have gone form symbiotic to parasitic, loving her singing so much that they full wrap and plug her mouth and blow hole, taking both her voice and her hair. They also leech her life force in exchange for these legs. The walking is supposedly painful for the seaweed, almost like walking on glass.

Who's that cute little grimmlin??? What fairy tale do you think they might be based off of? Let me know you guesses in the comments and tell me how you did last time! I love to read it.

Thanks for reading, everyone! Until next time!

Day 26! Dreamimic Drags In!
almost 4 years ago – Sun, May 29, 2022 at 02:26:45 PM

Hello everyone and welcome to day 26! It's really starting to come down to the wire here with just 4 more days of Kickstarter! Keep pushing and spreading! We can make it to more stretch goals and funding. I believe! The last 2 days especially will be big pushes.

Moving on to our grimmlins for today, we have Dreamimic! For those that do not know, I wanted very badly to name this grimmlin Peadabed (get it? Pea? Like pea but pee). Dreamimic was a safer bet though. Dreamimic is a mental and evil evolution of Sleepea with elements of mimics, beds, Princess and the Pea, clams, and monsters under the bed. You lie down on a cozy bed, and Dreamimics have resentment for all of the times this happened to them as a Sleepea, so they open their mouths, reveal their monster hands, and swallow up sleeping unsuspecting grimmlins and shades. What do you think?

Who's that grimmlin??? What fairy tale is it from?

Thanks for tuning in! Get ready for some big pushes the next few days!

Day 25! Lockstin Feature! Grimmlin Care Area Stretch Goal! And Druripper!
almost 4 years ago – Sun, May 29, 2022 at 04:03:18 AM

Hello everyone! And welcome, to all of you new people who caught wind of the game through Lockstin! We are sitting at $37,459 right now! It's a very good jump from yesterday! We also surpassed our $35,000 stretch goal for difficulty options and a Nuzlocke mode! Hip hip hooray!!!

The biggest piece of this recent influx comes from our feature in Lockstin and Gnoggin's video about 5 pokemon-likes! It has over 85,000 views right now and has given us a nice healthy boost in every way. Thank you to Lockstin for featuring us like this, it means a lot to a game in need of support like this!

You can watch the video yourself here.

Moving on, I have a new stretch goal to reveal and explain! Feast your eyes on our $60,000 stretch goal, the Grimmlin Care Area! If we reach this stretch goal, we'll be able to hop into any cauldron to transport us to a specified area where our stored grimmlins will hang out! They'll each have a spot they can appear, you could make them come out and interact with them for a little bit of dialogue unique to the grimmlin. The area will include different spaces themed for different types!

Moving on to our grimmlin reveals, we have a spicy one today. Iiit's Druripper!!!

Do you truly know the muffin man? How about the Drury Lane Dicer? How about Druripper? Never heard of them? They live on Drury Lane. He made headlines in the news, you know. For luring Gingerkids into alleys with muffins. For snuffing out bakery competition as well. Be warned about the terrors of Drury Lane. Nobody knows what's in those pies they sell there. But they sure are sweet.

Who's that grimmlin? Can you guess the fairy tale???

Thanks for tuning in! Until next time!

Day 24! Stiltzknit Creepy Crawls In!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 27, 2022 at 05:35:04 PM

Hello everyone and welcome to day 24! We are sitting pretty at $34,944 which is less than $60 away from our first stretch goal! Who's ready to crush it? I will reveal a new stretch goal in the following Kickstarter update once we do! All it takes is one updated demo access pledge now!

Just this morning, the Duel Screens podcast was kind enough to interview me about the game and ask a bunch of crazy questions. You can watch the interview here! just know that it was a loose, fun interview and we talk about some raunchy stuff. Toilet humor was on the table. It's a fun watch though!

Moving on to our grimmlins for the day! It's Stiltzknit!!! Stiltzknit is here to give you all arachnophobia for your own furniture. He's a mental and blight type inspired by Rumplestiltskin, and he's Rumple's evolution! It'll be fun to have a Stiltzknit somewhere in the game that just wants to be a single dad I think. That's why he makes deals for peoples' firstborn like Rumplestiltskin.

Do you know this grimmlin? The hint is in the question! Guess the fairy tale it'll be inspired by!

Thanks for tuning in! Look forward to many more promotions/mentions and interviews in this final week of the Kickstarter!

Day 23! One Week Left! Emprehiss Slithers In!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 26, 2022 at 07:19:52 PM

Hello everyone and welcome to the start of the final week! We're getting super close to the difficulty modes and Nuzlocke stretch goal! This last week will be a big push to all of our stretch goals! Let's reach $45,000 and add 20 more grimmlins to the game, everyone!

Moving on, I have one last bit of Lambaall parkour for you all!

Even Lambaall can get up tight jumps like this and sometimes across decent gaps like you see here! Try it out for yourself in the Deam on our Steam page here!

Moving on to our grimmlins, the star of the show. Today we are showing off Emprehiss! Emprehiss is based on The Snow Queen, and she is born to rule with a frigid stare. She only comes out of her igloo coil to judge and give orders to those she sees as below her. For any of Frozen lovers, this is the story Elsa is based off of technically.

Who's that grimmlin??? What fairy tale could it be from? Let me know what you think!

Thanks for tuning in! Get ready for a wild week!
