Postmortem

This update was an absolute blast to work on, and we hope you have just as much fun playing it. We’ve run into some challenges keeping up with frequent updates. It’s not always easy, especially while we’re also working on new games for you to enjoy beyond GRUEL.

That said, we’re not going anywhere. We’re definitely not giving up on this game. To make sure we can keep improving it consistently, we’re shifting toward smaller-scope updates that still bring meaningful and exciting content.

Thank you for sticking with us and supporting GRUEL. We can’t wait to keep building it with you.

GET GRUELING NOW SOLDIER!
