Day 17! Pigadget Boosts By!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 21, 2022 at 04:43:54 PM

Hello everyone! Welcome to day 17! Wow those days are wracking up! We're still on our way to stretch goal number 1! Hopefully we can get close before the final week where we'll have a big push for stretch goals!

Moving on to our grimmlins for the day, today we have Pigadget! Pigadget is the pre evolution of Hogstraw, Pigstick, and Boarbrick, and he's might type. Pigadget carries multiple gadgets in its backpack sack that it built itself. It's main trouble is it's an indecisive little piggy and doesn't know which material is its favorite until it's ready to evolve.

But who's that grimmlin??? Less than 2 weeks of grimmlin reveals left! Be sure to give me your guesses in the comments as to which fairy tale it might end up being from!

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 16! Nimbeauty Hovers In and Lambaall Parkour!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 21, 2022 at 04:41:51 PM

Welcome to day 16 everyone! We are officially past halfway through the campaign! It's business as usual! I can't wait for things to pick up and go nuts again in the last few days! But in the meantime, I've got some stuff to show you!

It's time for some Lambaall parkour! You can get around all over the map on JUST Lambaall in the demo and I wanted to show some of you how! The trick is that lambaall's launch is actually dependent on where your camera is aimed, so if you want to get up something, aiming upwards like I do many times here will do you many favors. Check it out!

Moving on to our grimmlins for today, we have Nimbeauty! I thought I'd pull a fast one on the community and reveal a pre evolution silhouette which I hadn't done previously. Nimbeauty is the pre evolution of Stratusleep. Since Nimbeauty is usually awake, her mind only forms the clouds around it into a simple pillow cloud for her to float around on. Nimbeauty is mental and wind type and is inspired by Sleeping Beauty.

And lastly, who the heck is that grimmlin??? What fairy tale will they be from??? Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more future Lambaall parkours!

Day 15! Malefruit Flaps in!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 18, 2022 at 11:53:33 AM

Hi everyone and welcome to day 15! We have finally reached the 2 week mark, and are almost halfway through the entire campaign. Thanks for coming along this far with me! We're currently sitting at $32,282 on our way to stretch goal number one still! Keep  on doing what you do best and talking grimmlins, everyone!

Onto grimmlin reveals, we have Malefruit, the evolution of Snoozard. Malefruit is blight and wind type and it's based on Maleficent and the Snow White hag. Malefruit consumes a sleep inducing toxic apple for its diet, but unlike Snoozard, it has become accustomed to the drug. Malefruit can barely ever get a wink of sleep as a result, and are always tired.

Who's our next grimmlin??? What fairy tale are they from? Give me your guesses! I love to see them. Plus I think this one is going to throw people for a loop!

That's all for now! Thanks for tuning in!

Day 14! Bake-a-yaga Stomps Onto The Scene!
almost 4 years ago – Tue, May 17, 2022 at 11:10:55 AM

Hello everyone! Welcome to the day of the two week mark! I can't believe we're almost half way there. This morning we reached $32,000 raised to hooray for that! Let's keep pushing!


Today I wanted to start showing you all a demonstration of the ride abilities and how they work. First we'll take a look at Pealenty's! When you hold forward, Pealenty tilts upward and when you hold back, Pealenty tilts downward. While tilted upward, Pealenty loses velocity in exchange for some altitude until it runs out of velocity. When Pealenty is tilted downward, Pealenty loses altitude in exchange for velocity. No matter how you glide Pealenty will always lose altitude over time in total, but you can be strategic about how and when to make it further or fly almost freely.

First, I showed you what happens when I just hold forward. Then jumping across the river I mostly held neither forward nor backward, but clicked forward just a little bit at specific times, and I got so much horizontal distance out of it as you can see. Finally, I jumped from a very high place, halfway up the mountain. This allowed me to basically not be too concerned with my altitude or height and it took a long time for me to run out.

Learned anything new about flying Pealenty? Try it out for yourself in the free demo on our Steam page!


Moving on to our grimmlin reveals, today we have Bake-a-yaga! Inspired by both Hansel and Gretel and Baba yaga, Bake-a-yaga is charm and fire type. What happens when you burn a candy cauldron for too long? You get a gingerbread house on fire of course. And it gets big chicken legs. The very obvious and natural course of evolution is a beautiful thing.

Who's that grimmlin and what fairy tale will they be from? Let me know your guesses!

That's it for now! Thanks for tuning in!

Day 11! Feephyto Sprouts Up!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, May 16, 2022 at 10:53:02 AM

Hello everyone! We're right on the cusp of $32,000! Let's keep pushing and we'll make it to some stretch goals in the next couple of weeks. The last week of the campaign is big so hopefully we can set ourselves up well before that all starts!

Moving on to our grimmlin reveals for today, we have Feephyto! Its name comes from the beginning of Fee Fi Fo Fum like what the giant says in Jack and the Beanstalk. Sounds like he's gonna grow up to be really big. Feephyto is life type.

Who's our next grimmlin??? What fairy tale will you think they'll be from? Let me know your guesses in the replies!

That's all for now! See you tomorrow where we hit the 2 week mark for the campaign!
