Chain swords are probably the weapons I see players struggle to use the most in Granvir. I've taken some time to improve their usability. The chainsawing can now begin at any point in the swing. Its also much easier for me to make chain weapons now so here's a chain greatsword!

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · 9d

Tooltip comparisons will soon be filtered by part type. No longer will your mech's apples (cannons) be compared to oranges (legs) unless you apples have an array of oranges mounted to them of course.

The testing grounds is one of the most requested QoL features for Granvir and its coming soon. You'll be able to test your build and weapons before deploying without buying ammo or having pesky enemies attacking you.

After 3 years of development Granvir is finally released! HUGE shout out to everyone who's played the demo, playtest and prologue along the way. The game would be far less fun and much more buggy without your help. Here's to many more years of making Granvir even more powerful!

Combining a grapple arm and high-jump legs leads to some fun results in @granvir.bsky.social!

Taking on the Extreme difficulty Campaign 3 boss as the Campaign 1 boss was actually a pretty fun fight. The only tweak to the mech I made was a wrist laser so I could have an attack that doesn't build heat.

Art by Hincaru (@hincaru.bsky.social) shows Sroka with her head stuck inside of a treasure chest mimic with very pointy teeth. Pica watches silently from atop the chest. The background is a blue plaid pattern similar to Sroka's scarf.

I thirsted for more rocket lance action so I did a quick run on the campaign 3 final mission. A mech build this tanky has no right to move like this and that's the best part.

Curious what's coming in Granvir after release? Here's a breakdown of the major goals. New campaigns, new mech parts and new enemies to step on! Working on the game is one of my favorite things to do and I have no plans to stop any time soon.

I heard rumors that @srokavtube.bsky.social wanted to do unspeakable things to their mech. Wish granted sicko.

I have added the most powerful weapon of Psyco Gundam: the groin beam. I promised 6 beams though and have innovated on this beloved design by adding the dreaded backdoor beam.

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · Aug 21

I feel like the 14 beams on this Granvir build don't pay enough respect to Psyco Gundam. 1 like and I add 6 more beams.

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · Aug 19

I finally hit Psycho Gundam in Zeta today. I wasted no time dispatching our most deranged engineer (me) to upgrade the beam cannon to support split beams. Beam fingers coming soon.

I may have got a little carried away making a Gundam Heavyarms build...

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · Aug 3

Guys I promise, watching Gundam Wing has had absolutely no influence on the weapons I'm adding to the game.

Even with the stompiest of mech legs, mobility finds a way. The Fighting Frog torso can chain up to 3 rocket jumps to rapidly correct your position.

The off-hand armament improvement has done wonders for the rifles. The rifle and pile bunker arm combo is becoming one of my favorite builds for my mech. Hopefully I can squeeze an update out this weekend.

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · Jul 7

Working on improving the running animations with some pumping arms. You'll get a small mobility boost from an empty hand and very small weapons won't remove this boost.

Granvir @granvir.bsky.social · Jul 1

The new multi-arm mech torso is armed and operational. Two-handed weapon and too many weapon appreciators this one's for you.
