I still need to add sounds, but I worked on trying to clear up GrimTunnel's interface a bit more. (New screenshots are on the hub page.) Then, at the last minute, I figured out how to make the strategy aspects more solid.

For those who have not played GrimTunnel, know that player classes grant minions and loot. Opponents are given some control over the gains when they decide what type of minions to send into battle.

In theory, opponents could previously predict what a player was likely to use against them by knowing what that player's class creates. However, players never had to actually use their gains. The game was merely adding an option. That made opponents even less able to form plans.

Players are now forced to use the minions and loot created by their classes. Minions become guards in the player's next room. Loot, with the exception of random potions, is forced upon any minion that can wield it during the next battle.

Here are the update notes included in the game:
  • Classes mean more now that non-random gains are forced upon their owners. The gains can't be sold or removed once placed. Created minions automatically become guards. Created Guard and Invade loot is automatically used if it is possible for battling minions to use it.
  • Subscribers and BYOND Members should have their wins and completions recorded in the Standings section of the hub page. The default distance and room settings are now the minimum settings.
  • Classes are now displayed in the Enter and Battle tabs so player will not be forced to flip to the progress display. However, their icons no longer waste space in the log.
  • The directions in phase tabs should be highlighted more clearly.
  • The House Rules and How To Play sections were merged.
  • BYOND Member avatars should again be working and this time the file format should not be an issue.
  • Output images are now set in the skin.


I added scores for BYOND Members and subscribers to GrimTunnel/Fooldom Come, but no medals. I was going to base some medals on the wins and completions listed in the standings, but I don't know the rate at which they can be accumulated. I can envision my name being the only one recorded. (Here are some other medal ideas I had.)
