The latest subscibestar post (free) shows how with the new engine how streamlined and easier it is to make battles among others. Not to mention battles with multiple enemies so yeah, development is being done.

So, I guess it's not "abandoned" anymore after all :love:

Anyone got the Subscribestar-Version and is it worth the 8.50 USD with the more content?:unsure:
I'd definitely pay for a final version - the original Grove-Devs didn't even want that, I remember, since they were concerned of needing to adhere to customer's wishes if they did. - It seems though, that the development around them might have "inspired" (not so much in the good way though with all the crazy things gong on in the "real World" these days?) maybe some more open-mindedness to the ideas and wishes of their fans and player community, which is still a good outcome, since they are obviously still "in the game" right now. I also remember it being a passion projects - and the others they launched besides of this first one, seem to show a learning curve, too.

So, kudos to them for keeping their passions alive while still learning (mostly) intrinsically motivated from their work and feedback on/about it, if that was indeed the case. Also other possibilities there, but haven't checked their Discord for a while now since the more action-oriented Hunter-Game isn't that interesting for me. It's more for peeps with better reflexes still...old guys like me prefer round-based game mechanics with very limited reaction-time-sensitive ones, which can really take the fun out of playing it, if they're set too hard for older nerves to process the sensory input and all.

Inclusive gayme design at least offers the option to "go slow" therefore and I appreciate the devs seem to have actually taken that into account. Offering a more action-oriented combat but still the old one, too (mostly - with exceptions for bosses or hard :devilish: mobs, if I understood the posts correctly?).

P.S.: So, will there be a new Thread/Post for the new Version - since the old one seems to still be "kept around"? - or is the plan a complete transition with the reworked gayme? It does look to be a sequel to the original Grove Gayme this thread is there for, after all since the Story seems to start off in the Northern Territories whereas the original here was starting off in the Southern ones, if I get that correctly. And if some young peeps are finding it funny, that "older people" are so honestly admitting to their nerve-system's decline...well, you'll need a good therapist when/if you're getting to be that age ;):sneaky:, which of course I wish y'all from the bottom/core of my heart, dearies. Reality is the most relentless of "teachers", after all. And it's merciless because it's incapable of compassion and all that other human stuff, that makes us what we are. And if you're missing that, I highly recommend also finding therapy long before that time of physical and cognitive decline...will only do you good and help you cope with all that creaky old stuff beyond age 30 :HideThePain:

We've had essentially an entire day go by without anyone uploading which just kinda shocks me because of how popular this game is. Tried to just get into SubscribeStar myself using my money but it keeps declining me so...

Give it a bit, I'm sure someone else will get to it eventually. I've been seeing quite a few bug reports on the exclusive version either way so the wait is kind of a blessing in disguise.

Keep in mind the Monthly subscription fee for a update of any game NEVER "worth it", it just a gesture to show you appreciate their work and Want to financially support the project.
Any Dev that try to exploit this system to overcharge is a scumbag (Especially when they maliciously manipulate with lies, false promises, unfair privileges, ect)

With that out of the way, I'd say 8.50 USD is a fair price if you want to support them.
And IIRC Grove is a Free game, unless they also plan to change that.
No it doesn't need a new thread, maybe just keep a link to the old v0.308 build.
So that means, no Grove Special Halloween Test Build SubscribeStar? :(
We've had essentially an entire day go by without anyone uploading which just kinda shocks me because of how popular this game is. Tried to just get into SubscribeStar myself using my money but it keeps declining me so...
IT'S ONLY BEEN A DAY!!!
Just be patient, don't be so entitled.

Not complaining really, just kinda shocks me. No need to be aggressive.
Like I said, bug patches occuring while we wait makes it more worth it since build seems a bit buggy in some places.

You guys are just Spamming Update begging
And looked at your comments, all are begging Spam
If you don't know already, it's against site Rule #6

Well, my bad then. If you're enforcing rules, try not to act so rude too.
In any case, we got a build.

My only real complaint with the new grapple system is that timing is a bit strict but besides that it's alright. I treated it a bit too much like a rhythm game.

I wish they'd port all their games to Steam, but seeing the issue with Paypal and payment and all I see why they wouldn't.

Wait, is there any difference between SubscribeStar version and public free version?
Cuz they just released v1.0.3 on itch

I didn't "try to enforcing rules", just show you guys this type of behaviour is not welcome on this site.
It's extremely annoying when you watch tons of threads, everytime a notice pop-up is just you guys spam nonsense.

True Many new users aren't aware of these rules and many forum encourage ppl to just spam "+1".
But this begging spam action itself is extremely irritating no matter where you from.
I will not try anything, you guys need to try to learn basic online courtesy.
If you sail high sea, learn to be patient.
