I'm sure you noticed some similarities between all of these characters. Not just in their appearance but also in their personalities.
I call this the "Great Sorcerer" archetype. Long hair, ice blue eyes, tall slender imposing frame, powerful genes or lineage.
They tend to be well bred and articulate. Hyperintelligent and narcissistic. Effeminate and eccentric but cruel and maniacal.
They tend to have deep justification for their actions, but truly just desire power. The highest Machiavellian form. Self obsessed with a destiny where they are a prophet, liberator or chosen one and believe through them a utopia will be born.
They tend to lead a doom cult or command hordes of minions.
The great sorcerer wields godlike power and only the greatest heroes are able to stop him in a last ditch effort by the skin of their teeth.
Modern entertainment makes pathetic neutered villains. We wanted to create one that had gravitas.
One that the hero wants to kill at all costs.

I know he doesn't fit all of the criteria. But would you say that Darth Vader fits into the "Great Sorcerer" archetype?

Furthermore, those who preorder will get steam key to download the game for early access.
We're going to run the biggest campaign we can. But at a $30 price point we only need 500 preorders to hit our funding minimum for the full game.
The gaming industry has been subverted and weaponized against us. Video games are the biggest and most widely consumed media in the world. We must make a stab into it but Grimurth is only a 4 man team. We need your help.
When this thing launches we're raising the banner for every based gamer out there to ride with us to victory.
If this is a success we'll springboard into many more larger projects until we're at the gates of triple A.
Are you with us?

The Demo is in the final stages of alpha and will soon be in final beta. Shout out to our developer @ForNull for putting this project on his back. This man has shown a rare form of perseverance and dedication.
The Kickstarter will launch after Thanksgiving opening up preorders and donations.
But for our friends here on telegram we'll post some gameplay footage from alpha play tests.
We've come a very long way since we've started and I think you guys will like it.
Grimurth started with a little bit of a different vision but evolved and took on a life of its own.
What we've come up with is an arcade ARPG hack n' slash that doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel but embraces its roots and turns it up to 10.
Grimurth breaks many of the rules set by modern game studios. It's a crushing challenge that holds no hands.
Instead of cinematic cutscenes, bloated narratives and time drinking fetch quests, Grimurth demands you do one thing. Get good at killing monsters.
It throws you right into the mayhem and forces the player to rely on skill, timing, strategy and sometimes luck.
In the demo you will get a taste of what we'll be able to do. In the full game we will have more playable heroes, more traps, puzzles, and of course, tons more monsters for you to slaughter en masse.
Stay tuned!

Our esteemed supporters,
After much research and contemplation we have decided skip the main services of kickstarter and indiegogo and handle the crowdfunding ourselves.
It is the best option financially and the only way we can really guarantee your privacy.
It will require a little more footwork on our end but will ensure the majority of your donation actually goes to the development of the game and not into the pockets of evil sorcerers.
