Hey there,
Thank you all for actively engaging in discussions around the game or even streaming your first steps in Grat!
I’ve enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the game, seeing how many of you are enjoying this magical witchy world, and listening to your feedback. With that in mind, today, I’ve released the first small patch, which includes some balancing, first quality-of-life additions, and a few bug fixes.
You’ve explored the most secret corners of Grat and carefully collected many ingredients. For those of us who don’t want to be caught without the ingredients we need when we need them, it can be hard to part with them. Therefore, with increased storage capacities, you may feel free to hoard your ingredients like a dragon! However, there is still a limit, so you may want to sometimes take a step back before stocking your shelves and ask yourself, “does this ingredient spark joy?”
I’m sure you’ve noticed that one of my main ideas for the game was to allow you to find your way through this twisted world and figure things out on your own. I understand that sometimes that can take away from what many of you want to do in the game — find out what happens next in the story! Because of this, I’ve made some changes to make that a little easier, especially in the early hours of the game.
I'm also already working on a lot of other stuff that should fill your hungry stomachs and help you explore Grat, so keep an eye out for those in the coming weeks.
Delivery, ahoy!
