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.

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.

We decided to part way with Mars. The reason is that we need to focus our effort on a single map at the time given the scale of the team. We believe there is more potential to the Earth version, so we will focus on it for the foreseeable future.

While we don’t have a public roadmap to share, we did tease a few items on the discord (join us! Link below). They are still being worked on and we will share progress on our discord when anything is getting close to being released. Remember that this is a single dev effort, so things may take time. But we are committed to our vision of Grim VR.

We hope you appreciate this new map as much as we did during the testing.
