Grigs Studios

A dinky concept sketch of Studio Grail's logo, featuring a grail with wings.

Four polished, not-so-dinky varieties of the Studio Grail logo, featuring a grail with wings.

Two years ago today, my game studio was officially registered and born.

In the time span since, I've polished the game's concept and script, hired more than 10 creative professionals like voice actors, artists, editors and composers—and spent a bunch of time agonizing over creative decisions (1/5)⬇️

Happy orbital recurrence! Ours is 5/17 last year. Can definitely relate to this skeet; some moments have felt like a thrilling rush and others like an agonizing tedium. So much more than assets and code goes into the making. Thanks for sharing the human element. It's a process for sure.

That DOES sound interesting! Short of playing an actual MUD, a contained experience with one or two others all in text could well be a tremendous phenomenon.

Ooo, that reminds me, I haven't asked the director about accessibility.

Does this look for all visual transitions? It's really cool that this exists! Thanks and keep it up!

Congrats! Do you recall what was the date when you first launched the Steam store page?

You make games too!

This is an excellent resource, and now is a great time to come together to share knowledge about our passions and keep our enthusiasm alive! #vndev #visualnovel

Nice! Now more than ever, archiving knowledge of all kinds is very important.

The art we make includes the canvas we have on hand.

I thought something was fishy about this feed...and sure enough!

I forgot to follow our composer back. So this is Jan and he's extremely talented and you should go check out his entire portfolio on all the streaming sites!

(lol, sorry Jan!)

Hey! There you are! I thought we were already following you!

Sayuui is our character artist and she does great work! Check her out.

Nice find! Forwarding this to the rest of the team. Thanks for sharing!

Pictured here is Takashi, the former team captain who 3 years prior had inducted Kaname into the basketball team that would go on to win the regional championship. Takashi plays for the high school team and there was an expectation that Kaname would as well, but he chose instead to pursue art. 2/2

An image of a bully in a school feigning friendliness to the player while asking: "You didn't quit on it, did you?" He then sarcastically remarks, "What, you didn't realize drawing is hard, and now you're off to a new hobby?" The setting is a gymnasium and the user interface is sky themed to go with the title of the game, which is Lucid Dreamer.

Our story begins in a high school and centers on the life of an aspiring manga artist, Kaname Nakamura. He's returning for his second year after an entire first year of rumors and disdain about his choice to not pursue sports in high school after a stunning series of successes in middle school. 1/2

YES please! We got video embeds and that's awesome, but if we could have a single image (like cover art) and audio embeds we could post up the OSTs!

Ooh, yes! We have lots of musicians amongst the staff and our personals could all do with this feature!

Welcome! Here, have a complimentary GREEN POTION!
(it tastes like slime mold juice)

Make different piles for ideas and lean on the 'need versus want' concept. We want a music-rhythm minigame in our game but it's a want. It might happen, but it's very low priority and we won't be able to add it without doing Early Access (EA on a VN? X_X no thx) or adding an update/DLC later.

What do you call a robot who understands every word you say?

The parsest!

Nyak nyak nyak!

Use only One Piece to convince people to follow you!

Very sound advice.
Arriving on the platform in this moment with the intent to market, and finding that everyone is talking about human stuff, has been humbling and introspective for me personally.

I have a job to do, but also it doesn't feel right to do it right this moment.

Art is by @sayuui.bsky.social!

two students about to fight in the hallway, with a third student intervening by grabbing one of them by the elbow and pulling him around to face her instead of his would-be opponent.

So we're an upstart game studio, which as you know means we're a ragtag group of hopefuls with what might be a silly idea.

We're about the intersection of wellness and the media that we consume. Out debut game's goal is to be a relatable recovery & deescalation story.

We call it Lucid Dreamer.

Hacking a computer to accidentally create a data portal enabling one of those self aware video game characters out of the game world and into ours.

With !!FEATURES!!

Hmm... Although I am well established and kingly in all my ways, I cannot help but think that somehow a very specific thing I have never heard described in the words I'm currently thinking in has been strangely missing from my life.

Guards! Wishlist this horror and release it back into town.

Congratulations!

Avatar swap! We're gonna feature somebody different every day, except for the weekends. Kaname can handle those by himself.

Tuesday feels like a good day to make Chiharu's.

Gotta respect how very relatable this premise is - and fantastic presentation. Gonna send this link around the studio.
