Holy moly! Gridle has officially released!
First of all I'd like to thank all of you who have tried the demo for your kind words. It really means a ton hearing appreciation for a project that I've spent countless hours working on. Gridle has been in the works on and off for about 1 1/2 years in between my college studies (I'm actually about to start writing my master thesis this semester).
On top of this release, the second half of the Gridle OST (Created by Falconshield) is now available on Youtube (my favorite of the tracks is either Victory In Sight [Boss] or Take the plunge). The full OST will also be released in the future as a Steam package!
As with most game releases, there are things I had in mind to add/change but had to cut it in order to make the release date so you can expect some updates in the future. Here are some of the things I plan on doing in future updates:
Fix better controller/Steamdeck support, specifically the UI navigation is still a bit wonky sometimes
Change/Buff some of the skills (Mage damage spell, Miner heal skill, Archer critical shot skill)
Add lots of more rebirth knowledge (I have many ideas that just didn't make the cut in time for realease)
Add more end-game content, specifically more items that are added to the shop, more late game rebirth knowledge, late-game enemies and more runes
Custom game difficulties - With the game settings you can control, I plan on adding a feature where you can save game settings as your own game difficulty and share it with others
Look over the Archer and Mage minigame (The yellow target in Archery minigames is a bit too hard to hit, and potentially two possible line distribution requirements should be listed for Mage minigame to make it a bit easier to fulfill it)
If you find any bugs or other issues, then please report them either in the Steam discussions or (preferably) in the Gridle Discord Server
If you enjoy the game, then please consider leaving a review as that helps out a ton in the Steam algorithm (and reading them is [usually] fun ːsteamhappyː)!
Thanks for playing <3
