In TSAREVNA, beware enemies on the ground—and in the skies. Soothsayer Crows are cursed primal sorceresses. In combat, they make sharp lunges and sudden trajectory changes. You can't just stand still—watch the skies, dodge, strike.

🖤 It’s time to introduce a new enemy in TSAREVNA

These creatures are far more than birds. They guard forests, watching every step, ready to punish anyone who dares to come too close. They say these beings steal gold and precious trinkets… and sometimes even unborn children.

The Mega Fish Sword is perfect for when plushy bastards are begging for more. Delivers the chaos they truly deserve.

🎄 A new year is ahead, with new releases, new worlds, and a stream of crazy ideas that we are already turning into games!

Character designs don’t always stay the same. Most of the time it’s millions of references, endless visual research, and constant experimentation. Today we’re revealing the updated design for Chern. This mob now feels deeper and closer to the vision we’ve always wanted to capture.

Here’s a look at how our multilayer material system works: blending stone, dust, moisture, erosion, and hand-painted details.

These layers react to lighting, camera angle, and local accents, helping walls feel less like geometry and more like part of the world’s memory.

#Gaming #Tsarevna

To fight anomalous plush cubes, you need weapons that are just as weird.
That’s why we’re so meticulous when building the Grimps-slayer’s arsenal - every little detail matters.

And yeah, sometimes the weapons look… well, a bit ridiculous.
But wow, do they work! 🚀😎

We are preparing assets for ornaments in Tsarevna — ancient symbols, patterns, and protective signs. This ornament depicts an ancient ritual of dancing around a bull. Participants danced around the animal as part of a festive ritual, and the bull itself was subsequently sacrificed.

🐱 It seems that the GRIMPS team has a new chaos supervisor. He doesn't miss a single model or animation test, and he keeps a close eye on making sure that the chaos is not only bright, but also fluffy. In the frame is our strictest internal auditor!

#Gaming #IndieGames #GRIMPS

Grimps are not aliens… But who are they really?

1️⃣It's our collective delusion.
2️⃣They're just mutated cats. It's all because of the terrible environment!
3️⃣A new strain of COVID! Don't touch them, they're contagious!
4️⃣They're aliens after all!

Which side are you on?

#Gaming #IndieGames #GRIMPS

TSAREVNA's enemies are divided into three archetypes: Grunts, Officers, and Tanks. This creates a balanced and dynamic system where each type requires its own tactics and makes the fight lively and unpredictable.

#Gaming #IndieGames #Tsarevna

🩰 How do you fight without losing your grace?
In TSAREVNA, the combat system is a ballet balanced on the edge of life and death.

Add TSAREVNA to your Steam wishlist — the dance is about to begin.

🐾 Meet the updated Bayun the Cat!

In 3D, he's become even more expressive, dangerous, and... charmingly devious. Somewhere between dream and reality, he whispers his stories and plays with travelers, and as always, never letting on whose side he's on.

What’s this? It’s the visual damage feedback system in development for GRIMPS — modular dismemberment with elements of ragdoll and morph animations.
It makes enemy reactions more expressive, enhances the sense of impact, and supports the procedural generation of enemies

Asset creation is one of the most important and mesmerizing stages of development. At this stage, cubes, planes, and primitives gradually transform into walls, columns, and entire spaces, bringing the world of Tsarevna to life.

Even color plays a role in TSAREVNA.
⚪White is the color of silence, death, and peace. It is not purity — it is emptiness.
🔴Red connects the living and the dead, protecting them from the rift between worlds.
🟡Gold is a rare, divine accent of eternal power.

The stuffed plushies mutated. Cuteness cracked. GRIMPS emerged from the soft seams.
After playtest, we realized that these creatures were more than just cute stuffed plushies. They are brighter, more dynamic, and far more chaotic than we thought.
💫 Now cuteness bites. Welcome to the world of GRIMPS.

🎨 How does plush chaos come to life?

Our technical artist Pavel turns Plushes into a real threat: textures, effects, and movements create a lively, dynamic world. Pavel's list of tasks: developing complex mechanics planned by the game designer or art director.

#Gaming #IndieGames #Plushes

When creating the game Tsarevna, we encountered a problem: Old Slavic writing has not been deciphered, so we couldn't use it. Therefore, we developed our own runic alphabet.

Each rune was given a deep meaning. For example, the rune of Koschey combines the concepts of “pain” and “rebirth”.

#Gaming

We have created soft toys based on our game Plushes

👾 +100 to the cuteness factor of the office
