- Build (0.10.9) - Earth update - 28 August 2025
Today, we are introducing a reskinned version of Grim’s map. Going back to its root, Grim will now be experienced on Earth. Grim started development years ago, as a passion project by its one and only dev - Spoonfed. Back in the days, closed testing happened on this planet - Earth. A lot of memories were created and today, we are moving back to Earth to enhance your experience as a player. Why changing the map? Technically, we are keeping the same map layout, but reskinned it to Earth. Mars is a very monotone planet in its color palette. On top of that, it creates a challenging environment that is very POI focused due to the oxygen management and resources location. We believe that Earth is a much more user-friendly approach to a genre that is already very challenging.What does that mean for Mars?We decided to part way with Mars. The reason is that we need to focus our effort on a singl…

- Mission directive update 1 - 17 January 2025
Martians, thank you for your support. Yesterday, January 16th 2025, many of you bought a trip to Mars. For most of you, while the landing was rough, the journey was enjoyable despite some obvious unanticipated challenges. For others, it was not exactly what they expected when buying their ticket. Our resources are currently focusing on improving the stability of the server to make sure we can all share the love we have for the game on a more stable ground. We will be monitoring the servers performances over the weekend and we will keep doing so until we get to a point where we feel comfortable with the servers. An additional feedback we received is the lack of a tutorial. Rest assured, we are on it! While the content creators are doing an amazing job covering the basics of the game, we have been working on an in-game tutorial. We cannot wait to introduce it to you all. If you have feedb…
