• Fixed an issue where you couldn't complete level 5 in a second run.
  
• Fixed an issue that made it impossible to activate the Pagoda if you die after opening the first chest and before opening the big gates.

The game puts us in the role of Wu in an adventure and a world inspired by Journey to the West, the traditional Chinese tale starring the Monkey King, where we will have to go from anti-hero to hero trying to regain the crown and take down Zhu.

Casually Grounded hosted the Backyard Brawl with several of your favorite streamers fighting for the Champion title. It was an epic PvP tournament between the most valiant in the arena. Special thank you to the streamers for participating in the event and the Grounded community who supported them.

After the tournament, we revealed the Mutation Loadouts feature coming to the next update. Take a look!




You’ve been asking and we’re here to deliver! You can now configure 4 mutation loadouts in the Mutations menu. Players can quickly swap between mutation loadouts using a radial. The default binding to open the new radial is Right D-Pad on the controller or T on the keyboard. To make some room on the controller, the emote and chat radial have been combined into a single radial. We hope these changes will make survival in the backyard an even smoother experience.


Speaking of the mutations, new options are available in the Game Settings when you play a custom game. Check it out.



All Mutations Unlocked allows the player to start with all the mutations unlocked and available, meaning you’ll be able to activate them at the beginning of the game! Please note that players are limited to two mutations at the start of the game unless they upgrade their Max Active Mutations in the ASL using Milk Molars. That, or enable Fully Yoked Start to fully max out the active mutations limit to 5. Fully Yoked Start will enable all Milk Molar infusions such as Max Health and Stamina to be fully maxed out.

“All Recipes Unlocked and Free” has been split into two separate options: All Recipes Unlocked, and All Recipes Free. All Recipes Unlocked allows all recipes to be unlocked but will require the player to gather materials to craft buildings or items. All Recipes Free means you will have the complete freedom to build what you want.

Handy Gnat Enabled will activate the Handy Gnat build helper for you to craft the base of your dreams. Wait… what’s the Handy Gnat?




Have a large base renovation in mind? Tired of gravity holding you down? See what the buzz is about and call on your local construction pro: Handy Gnat!



The Handy Gnat feature gives the player control over the handiest gnat around. Fly up and around to blueprint, build, and customize bases to your heart's content. In order to use Handy Gnat, you must have the Handy Gnat Unlocked custom game option toggled on. This option is toggled on by default for Creative and Creative with Bugs game modes. For Survival game modes, you must convert your game to a Custom Game first in the Game Settings menu to enable this feature. Once enabled, Handy Gnat can be activated in the Crafting menu or the Construction radial. The Handy Gnat can build from storage near your teen and even haul Grass Planks and Weed Stems. We hope this fly guy helps you create the base you want to build with less time and effort.


Here’s an exclusive look at a new base building recipe. Introducing the Corner Stairs!



Corner Stairs come in four types for Grass and Acorn materials: Corner Stairs, Interior Corner Stairs, Corner Half Stairs, and Interior Corner Half Stairs. The Mushroom material has two variants being the Corner Mushroom Stairs and Interior Corner Mushroom Stairs. We’ve got the Corner Stairs and plenty of new base building recipes in store in the Super Duper update so stay tuned!




Here’s a shoutout to u/Quick_Art_7497 from Germany for their outstanding base in Survival Mode. The architectural layout and dedicated hours on building your headquarters made us go… WOW! Thank you for sharing this beautiful base and we hope to see more of your adventures in the backyard. We’re always amazed on how talented and creative our players are in Grounded.

... and more!

Hey everyone,

After my last post here, I had some exams I had to attempt and had almost decided to drop them because they came out of nowhere and I wasn't prepared. However, I ended up 'trying' to clear tem instead of dropping them. I probably wont get through this time but I just wanted to give it a shot since I had already paid for them. I've been back home for the past 4 days now and I resumed renders as soon as I got back. I'll have to speed it up a little this month because I want to release by the end of the month or at least the first week of next month.

Working on these renders has really been fun for me because I can finally start introducing important characters. I had created a bunch of them maybe 3 months ago but they weren't ready to show up in the story yet. I was trying to be ambitious with two free-roam events this time but I'm probably going to have to stick to one event. They won't be confusing free-roams and will be very straight forward just like my other ones. It looks like this update will have at least 10 scenes if not more so it's taking me a while to create these scenes before I throw the characters in. I want there to be at least some variety since a lot of VN's use the same assets so I try to change colors / textures, add / remove props so there's a slightly more unique feel to the scenes. Most players won't even notice things like this but it's just something I think is important since there are 1000's of VNs out there.

tldr : If all goes well, I'll have the update out by the end of this month. If there are hiccups, Early May.

- Added a new monster on endless mode
- Added a new panel for modifying the crosshair on the settings
- Added achievements, currently there's 8 achievements but we'll implement more
- Changed endless mode for a better balancing
- Changed "olmech" monster base damage to 20, it was 30
- Fixed end game panel hover on relics
- Fixed some minor bugs that doesn't impact directly on the gameplay
- Removed TNT summon/players damage

New Input + Rebindable Controls: Main/Pause Menu -> Options button
- Controls should show correctly in the UI (except showing mouse button isn't properly set up yet)

- Currently you can have multiple actions bound to the same key, will be fixed later

Level Editor:
- Added Playtest only cheats: Godmode, noclip and invisibility (top right by the playtest button)
- Floor Tool X/Y offset option for pattern mode to allow placing patterns correctly where you want them
- Fixed Level Options > Stage Order bug keeping deleted Stages
