Don't know why I haven't posted anything about this yet. Medierra's been working on a new project for the last couple of years. He's been hinting about it a bit, but has been pretty tight-lipped mostly. He did post a screenshot from it last Christmas.
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/merry-christmas-and-to-all-a-grim-night/43564He has opened up a "little" bit more lately in the 5th October stream:
"kobrao :hows new project going @Medierra
Medierra :I think we’re getting close to being able to show more / announce the new game but we don’t have a website / marketing art or anything else set up… so much peripheral stuff you have to do beyond just making the game
"drazac :so is the new game a city builder, or is it a strategy with city building elements
Crank9000 :Has there been any info what genre the new game is? There was talk about some kind of RTS around year ago or so
Medierra :its a town-builder with an optional combat element
genericvillain :Is it confirmed that their new project has anything to do with grim dawn?
Medierra :new project is not related to Grim Dawn
CepheidSauron :Any new projects you guys are working this year, except for the expansion?
Medierra :“new” project, which is about 2 years old now, is a town-builder done in Unity though… then we’ll be starting something else soon"
There's also this thread from a couple of years ago where he first confirmed it and gave his reasoning for doing something completely different.
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/mountain-valley-town/35662/34Since I love town/city builders too I'm really looking forward to playing this.
