Day 12! Meet Possplum!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, May 16, 2022 at 12:18:37 AM

Welcome to day 12!

We're still moving along to stretch goal number 1! The middle of a campaign is always very gradual, so keep in mind the end will likely come with another big boost! No worries and keep supporting the game like you all do!

Check out this video I posted on twitter a while ago. This is what happens when you pet a Granpuff.

Onto the grimmlin reveals! It's time to meet Possplum! A furry friend, if friend is what you want to call him. Possplums are greedy with their sweets and don't always play nice with the candy grimmlins. The only times they share is when it makes for a distraction to steal more sweets! Possplum is evil and charm type and inspired by both Little Jack Horner and The Muffin Man.

With possplum revealed, we have a new little guy for you to guess. Who's that grimmlin and what fairy tale do you think they'll be from???

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

Day 11! Meet Tigrin!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 14, 2022 at 03:55:32 PM

Hello hello everyone! Welcome to day 11. We are still pushing to our first stretch go and are well on our way there with about a 3rd of what we need after the funding goal to reach it. Once we unlock the first stretch goal, I'll reveal the next one! Can't wait to get there. Keep on doing what you're doing, everyone and we'll make it!

Moving on to our grimmlins for today, we have a crazy concept for this one in Tigrin! Remember Chesharade? Tigrin is his evolve, and he takes the whole stripe thing to a new level with toothy smiles all around his body. These mouth open into nothingness but there's nothing behind them if you reach between the stripes. Tigrins are evil and arcane type because of this, and if you can't tell, he's inspired by the Cheshire Cat

Who's that grimmlin??? All you get is the silhouette, but can you guess what fairy tale it's going to be inspired by?

Since we're revealing a big cat this time (Tigrin) I thought I'd give something to the cat lovers here with a cross promotion!

Cattails: Wildwood Story

Lead your colony of cats into the mysterious Wildwood. Stalk prey to find food, defend your new home from dark intruders, and discover fresh herbs & ancient treasures. Build a thriving town for all cats to call home. Get to know the residents, fall in love, and raise a litter of kittens!

Become a cat in this cozy life sim as a feral feline! 😸

Day 10!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 13, 2022 at 10:34:20 AM

Welcome to day 10! We've hit double digits into the campaign! We're on our way to our first stretch goal (Difficulty options and Nuzlocke mode) currently at 104%.

Show your friends some awesome grimmlin designs! Lots of Pokemon fans would love them and it could help the game reach higher heights! Thank you everyone for your support so far.


I wanted to show you all some of the newer, more recently made cards thanks to the Kickstarter grimmlin reveals in the past week or so. People seem to enjoy the cards and I love it. Check them out!

Today for grimmlin reveals we've got a cute little guy. Meet Rumple! Rumple is mental and blight type based on Rumplestiltskin. It knows many secrets and keeps secrets of its own. I wonder how it will evolve.

But who is this next grimmlin? It has a very abstract silhouette going on. I wonder what fairy tale it could be from! I can't wait to make this one in 3D.

That's all for now! Thank you for tuning in everybody!

Day 9!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 12, 2022 at 02:21:20 PM

Hello everyone! Welcome to day 9! We cracked above $31,000 this morning, so we only need $4,000 more to go to get our first stretch goal of customizable difficulty and Nuzlocke modes! I can't wait to theory craft how Nuzlocke mode will even work! Let's keep pushing, you all have been awesome so far and I can't wait to get to show you more stretch goals.

Moving on to grimmlins for the day, many people guessed this one immediately. The latest grimmlin is Undrown, evolution to Jelloss. Undrown is water and death type and she's based on the tale Undine. After drowning her loved one, Undrowns swim downward against the bouyancy of the guilt she is literally chained to. They fear the edge between the surface of the water and dry air. They see it as a barrier between life and the afterlife. The more guilty an Undrown is feeling, the more its bubble swells with oxygen, dragging it closer to the surface.

Who do you think this next grimmlin is??? What fairy tale are they going to be from?

I have some sweet riding footage for everyone in the future! Can't wait to show you all. Lambaall parkour, anyone? Thanks for tuning in!

Day 8
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 11, 2022 at 09:42:05 AM

Hello everyone! Welcome to day 2 of being funded and day 8 overall! 22 days left to wrack up stretch goals for the game!


Moving on to our grimmlin reveals, yesterday's grimmlin was Stratusleep! Stratusleep is a sleepy sloth who rests her head on soft clouds. Whatever she dreams of manifests itself within these clouds. Here we see her dreaming of the spinning wheel and a unicorn. The color of the cloud determines the mood of the dream. We can see a dark bit on the pointy end of the unicorn head there. Stratusleep is mental and wind type, and it's directly inspired by Sleeping Beauty.

Whooo's that grimmlin??? What fairy tale do you think this next grimmlin will be based off of? Let me know!

Today's update comes with another fun looking Kickstarter game that I want to promote! It's super close to it's funding goal too!
