The earliest entries are reconstructed from surviving development records. Going forward, releases, screenshots, and major milestones can be dated as they happen.
Grimhold begins as a persistent, tile-based survival world built around interconnected systems rather than a narrow combat loop.
Overworld generation, hydrology, map-area tooling, server settings, underground generation, and the systems needed to build and inspect a much larger world mature quickly.
Crafting, workstations, quality, containers, wildlife behavior, vehicles, world evolution, resource systems, cooking, and deployment tooling deepen the playable foundation.
Land claims gain owner control and color-group permissions for trespass, interaction, building, destruction, harvesting, containers, and doors.
Wild animals move toward persistent player-owned creatures with naming, feeding, enclosure behavior, breeding groundwork, genetics data, and mounted travel.
Players can till valid terrain with a hoe and plant supported seed-bearing crops, with persistence and editor support.
The active world expands to nine 5×5 grids—15×15 areas in total—creating roughly 90,000 chunk files and forcing a new round of performance and deployment work.
Server-side generation proves dramatically faster than the local laptop workflow, reopening the possibility of much finer hydrology sampling and faster iteration on world quality.
The project shifts toward an official website, a trusted download path, a public roadmap, a visual archive, and broader testing outside the designer's own machines.
