Update 0.2 is out, and it sure does bring a load of changes to the game! Please note that this update is not available for the browser version, so we highly recommend you download the game and play it on your desktop.

As you can see we got around to quite a bit with this update. If you’ve played the game already then please note that a few things in the order of the game have changed. Most notably, you’ll now need to talk to Veronica in front of City Hall before you can ask Tony for the hammer. The whole interaction is a lot more logical now. There are several more people to talk to in town, as well.

We noticed that knowing what to do could be difficult for some players, so we added in-game tips (they only appear on Main Street) and Quest Information to the game. We think that will really help players have a sense of direction as they explore Woodfall.

There are a lot of other smaller changes we made, especially to the mouse controls, to try and improve the overall experience. We want to thank everyone again for rating, commenting, and following the game. Please share it through your social media accounts too!

We Still Need Feedback!

If there’s anything I could ask for right now, it’d be feedback. This last week has been awesome, but it’s been a veritable desert in terms of anyone talking to us about what they think of the game. We’ve had very few comments here or over on Twitter and Facebook, so we’re feeling a little disconnected with those who are interested in the game. Please let us know what you like and dislike about The Grimsworth Reports. Are you excited for more? Would you like a Steam release when the game is finished? Please let us know what you’re thinking!

Thanks again for your support! We will update the free demo client again within the next couple weeks, and hopefully that will give everyone an even better idea of what awaits them in Woodfall when the game is completed. Enjoy update 0.2!
