[p]Grifford Academy will now be launching into Early Access on June 25th, moving up from our originally announced July 8th date!

When we first set our July timeline, it was because we weren't sure if we able to hit the original date so we gave ourselves a buffer just in case. We came to the realization that the new date would've landed in the Steam Summer Sale, not exactly the ideal time for indie games like ours to launch. With so many discounted games competing for attention, it wasn't the ideal time for a launch title. [/p][p][/p][p]

This shift gives Grifford Academy a better chance to find its audience during a key discovery window, and we’re confident it’s ready for players to experience. The past few weeks have been full of polish, feedback, and final touches—and we truly can’t wait to share it with you.

We're eager to hear your feedback during early access and make Grifford Academy the best it can be.
[/p][p]Thank you all so much for your support, wishlist's, and kind words along the way. This is just the beginning, and we’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey.[/p]
