Former Tropico Developer Turns to Kickstarter for New Project

Ivelin G. Ivanov has a strong history in the games industry. The developer, who worked on games such as Tropico 3, Tropico 4, Sacred 2 and X Rebirth, has seen his fair share of success over the years. His next project is a co-op survival game set in the universe of the Brothers Grimm's fairy-tales. This dark and ambitious project is going to need funding though, and that's where Kickstarter comes in. With a campaign open now, he's asking his fans to help make this fairy-tale a reality.

'We believe there’s a lot in it to be excited about’, Ivelin says. ‘Our main goal is to create a truly, unique, immersive and deeply fulfilling experience, rather than “just another game”, so hopefully that will be clearly readable in our KS presentation.’

Grimm Forest is a standalone multiplayer co-op PC title that combines elements of strategy, tactics and exploration. The social dynamics is at the core of the game – small groups of people (around 25 players) will have to communicate, time and coordinate their actions towards one common goal – to survive, day in and day out. Their enemy is the cursed forest around them with all of its horrors. Each day the players build up, repair and develop their village. Each night they fight to push back the next attack of the vile creatures, common and magical, that live “next door”.
