Grim Trials is our most ambitious game yet, and it exists because of YOU, our community, and the incredible support from @goldpactgoblins, @SSourcePublish.ย
We're so proud of how far we've come. Thank you for being part of Avelin's journey! ๐ค (10/11)
The crafting system also used to be WAY more complicated: every tool and material had its own crafting minigame. Fun in theory, but it got tedious fast.ย
We eventually streamlined the process to keep things moving but without losing the soul of the game! (9/11)
Initially, we planned to make combat more strategic!
Avelin could hide in bushes, and backstab enemies but such gameplay soon proved to be something beyond the team's scope and capabilities, so these mechanics were scrapped! (8/11)
Developing Grim Trials was not without its own challenges.ย
We needed to balance roguelite mechanics, customization, and the narrative so they formed a coherent package with the main theme of purifying your soul! (7/11)
If you love theorycrafting, you're not alone: we also drew inspiration from ARPGs like Diablo and Path of Exile!
We want build variety so you can craft your perfect Reaper! Fun fact: one team member made a crossbow-focused build that worked way better than we expected ๐
(6/11)
If you've played our demo, you might've spotted some roguelite inspirations:
- Cult of the Lamb's dungeon crawlingย
- Ember Knights & Curse of the Dead Gods' combat variety and fluidity
- Hades (obviously!) (5/11)
As we're also hardcore gamers, each of us have our own preferences when it comes to games!ย
We love action RPGs with rich narratives where we can face the consequences of our actions๐โ๏ธ (4/11)
Our previous games were Hello Goodboy, What Comes After, and Rage in Peace, which you can check out on Steam!
You might find someone VERY familiar there...๐ (3/11)
We're Glory Jam, an indie studio based in Indonesia! ๐ฎ๐ฉ
Our team currently consists of 17 talented members, but there were even more who helped us on Grim Trials! (2/11)
