IT'S SPOOKY SEASON! We're always excited when this time of year rolls around. Jackets, scarves, pumpkin-based-consumerism - Fall brings together two of our favorite vibes: coziness + spookiness.

- The COSMIC DARKSIDE Grindstone Update - 29 July 2022
The Cosmic Darkside is here! Grindstone just received a huge new update, and it's sure to challenge the most hardened stonegrinders. Did you think your journey was over once reaching the summit of Grindstone Mountain? Think again! A meteor from behind the stars will tear open a hole to the Cosmic Darkside - pass through this portal to the Mystic's Realm, where new enemies, new challenges, new items, and 60 cosmic levels await. (version number is v1.1.29-4284041r, for those looking to confirm their update) Oh no, it's Osmium! There's trouble in the Mystic's Cosmic Realm, and it all starts with Osmium! It's nasty stuff! Once Osmium gets into something, it can cause all kinds of problems. The creeps you're used to slashing through, for example, become a bit tougher - and even worse, they'll eventually burst, spreading new osmium infections nearby! Not even grindstones are safe from infecti…

- The Daily Grind Dev Diary - 24 June 2022
With the launch of Grindstone on Steam, we wanted to take some time to write up a bit of the process and design intent behind all three Daily Grind modes, with a special focus on the Fortune Grind! CAPY’s Kaitlin Tremblay sat down with lead programmer Ken Yeung and artist Vic Nguyen to talk game design, programming, art, writing, and the special anxiety around shipping a leaderboard. The Daily Grind https://miro.medium.com/max/700/1*MpoOu1M4XOvbMEY3HuE2wA.jpeg The initial idea for Daily Grind happened pretty early on. According to programmer and lead designer on Daily Grind, Ken Yeung, the idea for it came about right after Grindstone was initially launched in the fall of 2019. Ken explained that everyone on the team always wanted a horde or endless mode for the game (and, to be fair, talk of a “true” endless mode is still a common topic of conversation amongst the Grindstone team). The…

- Behind the Scenes: Creeps, Jerks, Slobs, Oh My - 15 June 2022
As a hulking papa StoneGrinder, Jorj, you’ll have to work your way up Grindstone Mountain by smashing creeps, grabbing treasure, and taking down bosses. But before you clock in, learn about how the team at Capy created some of the mountain dwellers that you’ll come up against. Grindstone: Of Creeps and Slobs “Hi! We’re Kelly Smith and Ben Thomas, animators at Capy. Grindstone is about creating attack chains through colorful creeps and jerks, so we thought it’d be fun to talk about our process designing two of those enemies.” Creeps https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*imcDXvXyQdnctr0L Kelly: This game went through many revisions and was touched by many hands. Vic Nguyen, Mike Nguyen and Ben Thomas all had a role in the final look and feel of Grindstone. In the very infant stages of this prototype, we played around with a lot of very weird monster styles. There were a lot of disparate idea…
