GRIME II Dev Diary 4 - So... what about parry?2025-10-17Hey Yarden GRIME director again,After showing you some of the many ways where GRIME II is different from GRIME, it's probably time that- as a parry loving player myself, we talk about that.I assume most of our present fans are into parrying, so rest assured, it's back and far more versatile.So, first starters, there is now an attribute (Pliability) that directly increases parry damage.AND a parrying skill tree, with many new (and familiar) traits to modify it with.You will also be able to freely invest and refund any of the traits whenever you are in a checkpoint.As with the first game, you can still parry projectiles from the get-go, it woul
GRIME II Dev Diary 3 - Item Molds2025-07-24Hey Yarden GRIME director again, and it's time to quickly touch upon consumables. In particular, how useless they are, because... well, they're consumed upon use.This is frustrating both because it encourages hoarding (guilty as charged of that myself), but it's probably even more frustrating for those that actually use them, only to die anyway and not even reap the benefit of losing all of those items!Items that they likely worked hard exploring the map and taking on challenges to gather.That fucking sucks. So instead, we have Item Molds.Item Molds refresh at checkpoints, and the more of them you find in the world, the greater your overall q

GRIME II Dev Diary 2 - Enemy Molds2025-05-07Dev Diary 2 - Molds Hey! Yarden GRIME director here. Last Diary I talked about Health Wards and how you would obtain new Molds, Creature Molds specifically. The Molds are cast using a Paint resources gained from attacking enemies, and scale with attributes to become a part of the many different possible builds. Some Molds can be sent forward for quick, ranged attacks... Some Molds will have you become them for a powerful attack, or flurry of attacks. Somewhat like Black Myth: Wukong. Other Molds can offer powerful utility, apply debuffs, launch enemies, and more... But there is another kind of Molds... Item Molds. Their goal is to hopefully p
