The following are some of the major changes:

[h2]New Map Design[/h2]
A new Optical Map Design has been added, with more objects on the map. The maps should no longer look so empty.

[h2]Balancing[/h2]
There have been further balancing improvements made to the new enemy and player fractions. There has also been a slight update to the existing mission maps.

[h2]Bug fixing[/h2]
A number of bugs have been fixed, allowing the game to run more smoothly. One critical bug was fixed during the loading of new missions. The process has been sped up and shouldn't be interrupted any longer.

Any feedback you have about the new update would be greatly appreciated!

I look forward to seeing you out there, on the surface of a savage planet!

Hello RTS fans!

As you've probably noticed, we've pushed back the release date of Full Version to Q1 next year. My goal is to make the Full Version of the game better using all the feedback you provide. Aside from identifying the key issues and improving all aspects of the game, your input helps us greatly with optimizations and bug fixing. As you can guess all of this takes a lot of time (especially when only one guy develops a game (-;)), so we have to move the release date of the Full Version once more.

I hope you understand that I strive for the highest quality possible when the Full Version is released.

At the beginning of December, we released Version 1.3.0 of the Free Version, which includes all optimizations. Please test it and let me know what you think. As I mentioned, this would also be very helpful in improving the Full Version.

Here is a video with excerpts from a few missions from the full version as a small consolation:

See you soon, Commander!

Hey RTS Fans,

I’m excited to announce that after 2 years of development everything is on schedule and Grimstar: Welcome to the savage planet is going to be released on October 26th, 2022.

Thank you for all your feedback during development!

[h2]MORE ABOUT GRIMSTAR and THE RELEASE[/h2]

Welcome to the savage planet acts as a Prologue for Grimstar: Crystals are the New Oil! You can play the first five missions of the single player campaign.

This prologue version will showcase a fresh cartoon graphic style which complements the gameplay mechanics. The following is a short summary of what I have changed for the final release version based on your feedback:

[h3]New Cartoon Graphic Style[/h3]

I've switched to a cartoon graphic style since it appears much nicer and the maps are now much clearer.

[h3]Alternate victory condition[/h3]

As an alternative to collecting all the crystals on the map, you can find and destroy all the enemies' caves. You can try it if you are brave enough, but it will be more challenging.



[h3]Level Up System[/h3]

In addition, the game features a leveling up system. The amount of crystals you have at the end of each mission determines the experience reward. Therefore, playing as effectively as possible makes sense.



[h3]Hero Units [/h3]

The Game also includes the first Hero Unit. Leveling up, calling Bombers for support, and using a shield are among the things he can do.

However, Hero Units are only available if you have completed the tutorial and the first mission.



There are also tons of bug fixes. I hope you have a good time playing the game.



Still not added to your wishlist?

Well, it's time to do it!

This will greatly help us and provide invaluable support for the project on release!
