Realm Grinder Developers' Diary [May 14th 2024]

DivineGames · 2021-09-14 14:57:28

Hello Everyone!

We just sent v4.1.3 for approval and it will be released shortly! Among the quality of life changes, we included the COPY ID function, which should help users getting support from us easier. By clicking on the ID in the in-game Options menu, your ID will be copied to clipboard and can be pasted in any textbox in the same way as you would with your Export string.

Also, the Idillium event is scheduled to start on Sep 23rd 2021, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on Sep 30th 2021, 6.59 PM UTC.

Last but not least, we are working on the new major content update which will include Prestige and expand the Legacy system, plus new researches and trophies to carry you higher on Reincarnations.

Cheers!

DivineGames · 2021-10-15 11:58:24

Hello Everyone!

We are working on the new content patch, featuring Prestige Factions in Ascension 4! There will be new researches, Dragon revamps and new trophies to progress through Reincarnations.

Also, the Halloween event is ready and will start on Oct 28th 2021, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on Nov 4th 2021, 7.59 PM UTC

Stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2021-11-10 13:58:51

Hello Everyone!

Right now we are taking our time to produce a fixing patch, squashing all bugs currently known to us and tweaking some balance numbers.

Furthermore, we are currently looking for new beta testers to review all the different stages of Realm Grinder for the upcoming patches! If you want to help us develop a better game with better quality, and if you have time to do it, please sign up this application form.

Keep in mind that there are two minimum requirements to apply:

You must be able to play on the Steam version of the game, where the beta testing takes place.
You must be at a minimum of R100 (Ascension 2) in the game.

Also, things that we value positively:

experience with strategies for Realm Grinder throughout all game stages, from early R0 to endgame
spare time
math competence
programming competence
art and writing competence
ability to speak Realm Grinder languages

All entries will be reviewed shortly and you will receive further instructions if you are selected.

Thank you all for your continued support, and stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2021-11-24 22:00:20

Hello Everyone!

Thanks to all who have applied for our beta, your support and dedication is very appreciated! The fix patch is going smoothly enough, we're ironing the balance of specific stages and we should be ready to release soon.

After the good news, some more good news: Thanksgiving 2021 is starting tomorrow, Nov 25th, 1.01 PM UTC and will end on Nov 29th, 7.59 PM UTC.

Stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2021-12-20 13:09:04

Hello Everyone!

With version 4.2.1 we had to introduce some technical changes in the android version, which consequently led some users to lose their Gifts or experience an error while trying to purchase Realm Grinder goods in the shop. This error was present in the live android version until yesterday (Dec 19th). We have now released a hotfix patch and everything should be ok as soon as you update to the latest version from the Google Play Store.

Thank you all for your patience and support!

DivineGames · 2022-01-31 12:51:29

Hello Everyone!

We hope you had the best of holidays and that your new year will be better than the old one!

Going back to business, we will release the Valentine update soon - as usual it will include a new feat with a new nice reward for everyone who completes it. The next major content update will take a bit longer, we expect to start beta testing fairly soon and we'll keep you up to date on the new content introduced with the patch with the upcoming diaries.

Cheers!

DivineGames · 2022-02-07 11:40:39

Hello Everyone!

Version 4.2.2 has just been released! This update contains the Valentine 2022 event, including a new feat that will unlock a new cosmetic reward. The event will be starting on Feb 12th 2022, 1.01 PM UTC and will end on Feb 16th 2021, 7.59 PM UTC.

Spoiler: the new feat is related to Hellfire Blast, so keep your Demons ready.

Happy Valentine to everyone, cheers!

DivineGames · 2022-03-21 13:17:54

Hello Everyone!

It's been a while since our last diary, and the reason is we're working on a huge update that should finally help with most early game issues. The partial changelog is already 5 times longer than our biggest patch and it's going to become even longer! This will take some time to deliver, but we'll do it right.

Good news first, better news second: the Easter event has been prepared and will be released in time to start on Apr 14th 2022, 13.01 PM UTC and will end on Apr 21st 2022, 7.59 PM UTC.

Last but not least, we'd like to thank everyone for your increased support during the last couple months! This has helped us greatly in working with renewed enthusiasm in these difficult times for our world. We wish the best for everyone, you are an amazing community!

DivineGames · 2022-03-30 11:34:41

Hello Everyone!

Version 4.2.3 has just been released! This patch includes all functionalities for the Easter event, as usual with a new feat that unlocks a new cosmetic option.

As a reminder, the event will start on Apr 14th 2022, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on Apr 21st 2022, 6.59 PM UTC.

Our last reminder didn't take into account changing to CEST, this is the official and correct date and time.

DivineGames · 2022-04-05 11:07:23

Hello Everyone!

As you may know, users with a notched Apple phone experienced an issue where part of the UI was covered by the notch in the top portion of the display. We recently released a hotfix version to make the game playable again, although moving the bar down by several pixels is not ideal and we'd rather have the game scale as it always used to do. This will take a bit of time, please bear with us as we identify a better solution for everyone.

Thank you all for your support!

DivineGames · 2022-04-14 12:22:42

Hello Everyone!

The Easter event has just started! It will last until Apr 21st, we hope you will enjoy it

A quick update on beta testing status: Ascension 0 review is nearing completion, a lot of effects have been changed and the overall playing experience should be a lot better than it is live. Transitions from stage to stage should be smoother, factions should be more balanced and most unlock requirements should be way more accessible and synergic. After this review is over, we'll move on to A1, where a huge spell tier system revamp is due, then A2/3/4 will be rebalanced as well. The final goal is to improve the experience for players at all stages, bring back the fun to the most boring and annoying areas of the game, and prepare the grounds for the upcoming Ascension 5.

Stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2022-05-11 12:13:32

Hello Everyone!

Version 4.2.4 has just been released! This patch includes all functionalities for the Blood War event, as usual with a new feat that unlocks a new cosmetic option.

As a reminder, the event will start on May 17th 2022, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on May 21st 2022, 6.59 PM UTC.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support! For those who don't know, May 19th will be the 7th anniversary of Realm Grinder and we're so happy to share this moment with every player out there who helped us with this unbelievable achievement. We hope to continue delivering a enjoyable experience for you all for a long time to come!

DivineGames · 2022-06-22 13:26:23

Hello Everyone!

How are you doing? On our side, the works for the immense content overhaul are still in progress, we are now in the middle of A1 content which is likely the biggest change for this beta as we are revamping all the spell tier system to make it feel less timegated as well as reorganizing progress stages to add more variety for Reincarnations from 42 to 75.

Also, in a couple days we'll be finalizing the preparations for the upcoming Goblin Invasion event, which will start around the second week of July.

Stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2022-07-06 10:21:25

Hello Everyone!

Version 4.2.5 has just been released! This version includes all the functionalities for the Goblin Invasion event, which will start on Jul 11th 2022, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on Jul 15th 2022, 6.59 PM UTC.

Works in beta are going forward, we have almost finished Ascension 1 balance and overhaul. Dragon's Breath mechanics have been changed, as well as Royal Exchange behavior. We expect to tweak a couple lineages as well before entering the mercenary research stage, with the ultimate goal of having a more enjoyable A1 progress, with way way less timegates and downtime throughout the Reincarnations.

Stay tuned for more info!

DivineGames · 2022-07-10 18:44:11

Hello Everyone!

Because of an issue with mobile release, we had to postpone the start of the Goblin Invasion event to Jul 13th 2022, 12.01 PM UTC, and the end date as well to on Jul 17th 2022, 6.59 PM UTC. We apologize for the inconvenience!

DivineGames · 2022-08-09 09:23:46

Hello Everyone!

We're still working on tweaks and improvements with our beta testers, there's a lot to get right but we're aiming at getting a fresh, more polished and more entertaining Realm Grinder for every player out there! Please bear with us while we deliver seasonal events in time, such as the upcoming Thanksgiving event, starting on Nov 23rd 2022 1.01 PM UTC up to Nov 27th 2022, 7.59 PM UTC. While there are no new feats and cosmetic options with this event, you can still benefit from its production bonus upgrade and get the Thanksgiving feat if you haven't already.

Cheers!

DivineGames · 2022-12-18 12:08:45

Make sure you keep Realm Grinder up to date, cheers!

DivineGames · 2023-02-08 12:55:38

Hello Everyone!

We hope you had a great new year so far! Today we are releasing version 4.2.10, including all the features required to run the 2023 Valentine event, starting on Feb 13th 2022 1.01 PM UTC up to Feb 17th 2023, 7.59 PM UTC. This year's events will include a new feat as usual, which will unlock a new event upgrade for each event!

We have been quite busy last month, but now we are ready to reveal a small portion of the massive changelog we've been working on for the last year.

Spells will suffer different Ascension Penalties based on their Tier, the higher the better. Spell tiers will be unlocked at a rate of one per Ascension, meaning that you can cast up to Tier 2 while in Ascension 1. Each spell will also have additional effects per tier, and upgrades will be challenge-locked. Previous tiers above maximum will be removed from existing saves, but you don't need to unlock them again if you already did. All spells, except extraordinary spells (Tax Collection with Round Table, Dragon's Breath, Catalyst, Twisting Nether, season spells), will follow this rule. Offline bonuses provided through tier upgrades will be assigned to their respective ascension. Mana cost multipliers increased for all spell tiers.
As a special spell, Dragon's Breath will now start with 5 colors and unlock a new one for each Ascension past the first, and production effects will never suffer from Ascension penalties.
We will consolidate an existing mechanic with new effects: Triggered Tax Collections Power. In a similar way some Goblin upgrades already do, many others will make your spells cast free Tax Collections, additively or multiplicatively. Triggered Tax Collections will aggregate into a single stat, in a similar way automatic clicks do.
Lineage perks will be unlocked asymmetrically: factions will distribute their perks across a large Reincarnation range and will unlock 2 more per Ascension. Lineages will have a hard cap of 25 levels per Ascension.
Royal Exchanges will be separated from standard Ascension penalties and their upgrade container will be renamed to Royal Market.
All challenges, bloodlines, lineages, perks and set upgrades will no longer suffer from Ascension penalties.
Gems required per Reincarnation, and Coins required per Gem, will be streamlined throughout all Ascensions except Ascension 0. As a result, you may find your next Abdication or Reincarnation requirements different.

There are the major changes we have roughly finalized so far, but they are only a minor fraction of the full changelog. There will be at least 200 more balance entries along with new content and new game mechanics. We hope you are as hyped as we are about the new content update, it's going to be really huge. That's all for now, stay tuned for more info in the future!

DivineGames · 2023-03-22 12:38:24

Hello Everyone!

We have prepared a new version, including all Easter features. A new feat will unlock a new upgrade in the Easter event, starting on Apr 6th 2023 12.01 PM UTC up to Apr 13th 2023, 7.59 PM UTC

On the beta front, we are almost over with Ascension 2 reworks and tweaks, the changelog is longer than ever and there will be much more to come. Thank you for having patience, it's going to be a huge update!

DivineGames · 2023-04-03 11:32:04

Hello Everyone!

Version 4.2.11.0 is out! It includes the new feat for the Easter event, starting on Apr 6th 2023 12.01 PM UTC up to Apr 13th 2023, 7.59 PM UTC.

Unfortunately, we had issues with the iOS release, which will not come in time. iOS players will still be able to play the Easter event, but they may experience issues with unlocking the new feat - if that is the case, please let us know and we'll provide assistance.

Cheers!
