Its final early access update is in public testing now
The info came in the form of a video by game director Adam Brennecke:
Today marks two years for Grounded!đź’šWe love you all and are thankful to share this journey with you. 🙏As a special treat, Game Director Adam Brennecke is here to share some exciting news, such as what’s coming in the next flight and the release date! Give it a watch! 🙌pic.twitter.com/tlgPbhYbYe
The final early access update includes a pet gnat, a revision of the weapon and armour upgrade systems, and a new building called The Cookery which lets you start preparing food earlier in the game. This isn’t every feature that will be included when this early access update rolls out fully.
It sounds like version 1.0 will contain lots that’s new when it comes, too. Brennecke calls it their “biggest update ever”, and it’ll include a complete story which both explains how you ended up shrunk in the backyard, and “how you’re going to get out of this mess.” Why you’dwantto stop being the size of a spider, I don’t know.
Grounded has impressed everyone I know who has played it. I mean, being liked by Sin is pretty rare, and shefell hard for the game’s ants, eggs and pheromones.
As Brennecke mentions at the start of his update, it was also announced last week thatGrounded is being turned into an animated TV series.
