It’s clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into Secret of Grindea’s visual and the game runs gorgeously. Secret of Grindea is definitely in its early stages, but given the polish and detail in the game already, it’s hard to not get excited about the potential it showcases.
I spent some time with the game’s beta and sat down for a Q&A session with one of the game’s developers to see what all the fuss is about. On one hand it’s a parody of a classic, but on the other it’s a clever re-imagining of an older style of action-RPG for a today’s gamers. The Pixel Ferret-developed action-RPG was born out a passion for the SNES classic Secret of Mana. Secret of Grindea is a great example of this kind of game. Arguably, gaming enthusiasts have become part of the development process itself – either they are the chorus calling for these games to be made by willing developers developers or they are willing to step up and develop these games themselves. Fan enthusiasm is bringing gamers everything from Broken Age and Tesla Effect to bigger sequels like Mirror’s Edge 2. Enthusiasts are no longer a niche, they are a driving force behind the kinds of games that are getting developed. If there’s anything that the changing landscape of games development is showing us, it’s that fans have power.
