SECRETS OF GRINDEA SAVE EDITOR PC

When it comes to the overall gameplay, we were definitely inspired by the Secret of Mana series, but also the Zelda games (especially A Link to the Past) and, perhaps surprisingly, Ragnarok Online, an old PC mmorpg! We’ve had plenty of inspirations for Secrets of Grindea, both from the 16-bit era as well as later games! All of us absolutely adored the SNES as we grew up, and Fred and Vilya (our graphics artists) enjoy creating pixel art graphics a lot, so making this kind of game in terms of the art style was kind of a natural decision. Seeing it for the first time on Steam’s Early Access page the first thing I did was yell at Breanna down the hall that I needed to get this! Personally I am reminded a lot of Seiken Densetsu 3 (um… Secret of Mana 3?) that was only ever fan translated but thankfully had its multiplayer through LAN intact.ĭid you have any one source in particular that served as inspiration or is it just the love of that era that spawned this amazing creation? You’ve mentioned that your work is a tribute to the SNES era of gaming.

In the beginning, we felt certain we’d be done in a year or two, but now we’ve realized we need a lot more than that for Grindea to be the game we really want it to be in the end! I think what has changed the most, though, is our estimate of how long it’ll take to finish the game. Spells worked differently in the beginning, and believe it or not, we had health pots and healing once! Of course, the gameplay has undergone a few revisions here and there.

The game is essentially the same today as it was when we first dreamed of making it – the core elements are pretty much what we envisioned from the start, and other than minor visual improvements, the early stages have remained exactly the same as when they first were added. It’s definitely been in development for a long time, right? Time sure flies when you have fun though, and working on SoG has been a blast so far! You’ve been developing Secrets of Grindea for a long time now, since the summer of 2011, how do you feel things have progressed since then? Is Secrets of Grindea still the same game now as it was back then?
