Aside from taking a little break from KW, my main dev focus has been on the Woodlands rebuild. Unfortunately that map was made so long ago that it needs a complete rework to match the newer maps in terms of backend procedural generation. Once all the maps match it will enable future content that I have planned to work on all of them properly, as well as improve already existing content (like boss arenas for example). Hoping to have this done in the next week or two. I know it’s not an exciting update but it’s necessary for me to get this done.

Updates

• The 2 tiers of interactable now have their own ticket pools. This should make spawns more numerous and consistent in terms of potential power growth. 

Fixed

• Fixed a couple more Keep menus that acted funky when using escape to exit in certain ways

• (Protect Objective) Updated the skull’s spawning and pathing to reduce chances of a super fast skull

Update:

• Added graphic mode (retro/pixelate)

• Added achievements

• Improved audio quality

Hello again, Contractors of the Gourmet Capital!

So, without further ado, let's hand over to Reinhardt to tell this roller-coaster of a story.

---

Hey everyone, I'm Reinhardt from White Star Studio.

After Feastopia entered full production, things like gameplay design and building concept art progressed quite smoothly. With the experience from our previous simulation game under our belts, we all expected the overall production cycle to be shorter. Initially, we even anticipated a release by the end of last year... but the reality is, we're still not quite done until now.

Aside from continuously adding new ideas and content to make the game more fun as development progressed, another major challenge was the game's UI, which underwent constant iteration and complete overhauls. We truly spent a significant amount of time on this.

So, why did this happen? Looking back now, I'd say the main issue was our insufficient grasp of the visual communication impact. Let me show you our first version of the UI. We used a wood grain and paper texture style to convey a rustic, European town feel. Back then, our focus was on the character Dango and the building designs, thinking the UI's primary role was just interaction and clean presentation.

(First Version UI Mockup)

However, when we implemented this UI into the game for testing, we found it looked a bit too plain. The reliance on mostly brown and white made it feel lifeless and somewhat disconnected from the game's various fantastical and whimsical buildings. So, we discussed with the art team about trying a different style. This time, we incorporated more metallic elements and used a bolder color palette, leading to a completely new second version.

(Second Version UI Mockup)

The second version was significantly different from the first. But even before implementation, other team members called for a stop. Everyone felt the extensive use of deep red made the overall game atmosphere feel oppressive and heavy. Furthermore, the metallic materials made the UI seem bulky. This was a lesson learned: we needed to redefine the UI's role in visual communication—it should help set the game's mood and expand upon the color schemes of the scenes and buildings. However, we still hadn't reached a solid consensus on how to achieve this effectively. So, we tried to optimize the first version again, incorporating some interactive improvements from the second design.

(Third Version UI Mockup)

What did we think of the third version? Well, we still found it stiff and lacking vitality. It just didn't feel lively enough and failed to integrate naturally with the vibrant game scenes and colorful buildings. By the time this third version was ready, it was nearly the end of 2024. We started to worry: if we couldn't find the right UI style, would we have to present a version we weren't even satisfied with to our players?

After much discussion, we decided to burn our boats and make a decisive move. We needed the courage to discard our previous work and boldly explore more vibrant colors, striving to make the visual effects livelier and more dynamic. Finally, our art team delivered under pressure! With limited time left, they created a version that immediately felt much more vivid to all of us—the draft was approved unanimously as soon as it was revealed!

(Fourth Version UI Mockup - The UI you see now!~)

This prolonged UI "tug-of-war" taught us an invaluable lesson: in a comprehensive art form like game development, no single element exists in isolation. The UI is not just a functional vessel; it's an extension of the game's world and a crucial guide for player immersion. We initially treated it as a "minimalist supporting actor," but that almost let it become the "weakest link" in the overall game atmosphere.

Looking back, those repeated revisions weren't wasted effort. It forced us out of our comfort zone and ultimately led us to a visual language that truly resonates in harmony with the game's content and style. We hope that when you all step into the Gourmet Capital in the future, you can feel this fantasy and harmony, delivered right from your fingertips to your eyes.

Hi everyone!

We just released a new build (0.13.0) with a new event in Aoki's timeline along with a sex scene: "No more pocket pussy", in which Aoki becomes even wilder than she was so far.

This version also offers UX tranlsation and partial story translation in Russian language (up to the same point as for French and Thai languages - the rest will come later).

Cheers,

Chuck Wow, Good Flicks

Hi everyone! It’s been a little over a month since the latest major update (v2.1). I hope you’ve all enjoyed the new content and fixes that were included in that update.

Today's update marks a big milestone for the game, as I’ve been working hard over the past few months to add some localisation to Within the Cosmos. In this update, you’ll find Spanish and French localisation! While I would love to translate it into more languages, I did these myself as they are the only other languages that I know.

Apart from that, I’ve also included a number of bug fixes and improvements to various gameplay elements.

Grimdelve version 1.7 is chock full of quality of life, visual polish, and content updates. This is an extensive overhaul of most of the demo thanks to the feedback of Rainy Tei Production.

Some of the included updates are:

• Voice actor JustTrent77 lends his voice to the opening cinematic

• Improved the blood and gore visuals

• Character motivations are clearer and more mature

• New custom cursor

• Retooled the speech system for the yet-to-be identified green soldier

• Fixed so many bugs and probably made some new ones...

New face graphic art also coming soon, just waiting on my incredible artist! Good art takes time and yes I do say that with subtle anti generative AI undertones. Also also, I retooled much of the Steam page. Screenshots are more representative of current content, so look at those if you also want a sneak peak of all the new stuff in this update!

The demo is nearing completion. Once it's super solid, we begin the long period of silence while I make the rest of the game. Though, somewhere in there I will likely also run a kickstarter. Stay tuned cavedivers and thank you for supporting Grimdelve!
