Re: Grounded
Fun fact, Grounded was going to be the original title of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"

Years ago I contributed to the game Smalland which was also build on this premise. My hope that it will get released has all but disappeared though

Re: Grounded
If you're interested, the game's demo / early access has been released and there's a couple of videos on youtube with gameplay. Shrinking theme aside, it looks fun!

Re: Grounded
Tried the demo. Pretty fun so far, but there is a 30 minute timer, it resets if you load a new game though.
I reckon I'll get it when it comes out for early access next month. The spiders are legit terrifying though.

Re: Grounded
Yeah they even have a skip function for those with arachnophobia. You have to spend a good time sprinting to really get things done with the time limit so it gives you a great reference to how massive the field is. All the crafting and environmental effects of your body remind me of Fallout Vegas on hard mode

Re: Grounded
Looks like they're making a TV series out of the game...
"The series, which exists in the same universe as the game, follows four friends, who the summer before high school, plan “big things” to elevate their social standing, but their plans are upended when they stumble upon shrinking technology that makes them two inches tall. Now the four shrunken friends must learn to survive in a towering backyard that’s a jungle full of enormous predators and hiding a vast corporate conspiracy threatening their entire town."

Predators like bugs, frogs and reptiles, most likely.

Re: Grounded
Probably, but they can't have the show be ONLY about "surviving while tiny", there has to be some interaction with normal sized humans down the line (hopefully).
Also, I don't know if it's a mistake but the articles say "'two inches tall", but in the game, they're about half an inch tall.

2 inches tall, that's like the size of a pink eraser or something, isn't it?foreverlurk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 9:04 pmProbably, but they can't have the show be ONLY about "surviving while tiny", there has to be some interaction with normal sized humans down the line (hopefully).

Uh, how do you know there won't be any? anyway this isn't The Process Forum, we can post size content even if it doesn't have "process", right?
Yup, still 4 times bigger than in-game...

Absolutely! But thank goodness we don't have too many on here obsessed with the so called "process".foreverlurk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:33 pmUh, how do you know there won't be any? anyway this isn't The Process Forum, we can post size content even if it doesn't have "process", right?
And if some are here and crave for it, then they know where to find it on that weird and wacky site that caters for their tastes.

Re: Grounded
I haven't been on the Process Production forums in a long time. Not much has changed over there. It's all the same thing, mostly focusing on Giantesses. I feel like the Giantess City gang took over that site too now, and I didn't notice it.

Re: Grounded
I didn't mean to suggest that I think you shouldn't post anything for any reason. I was just expressing my disappointment. While I don't 'know' what the content will be, all info I can find about the game suggests that the shrinkees simply 'wake up' shrunk. That's a huge disappointment to me, that's all I'm trying to say.foreverlurk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:33 pmUh, how do you know there won't be any? anyway this isn't The Process Forum, we can post size content even if it doesn't have "process", right?

Re: Grounded
Fair enough, and based on recent content I'd say you probably have the right attitude (ie. expect disappointment), but let's hope for the bestshrinky wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 4:20 pmI didn't mean to suggest that I think you shouldn't post anything for any reason.

Re: Grounded
Don't read below if you don't want spoilers for this game
.
.
In 1990, Pete, Max, Willow, and Hoops are the latest four teenagers in a string of disappearances. The teens wake up to find themselves shrunken down to the size of a small insect and trapped in a backyard, but have no memory of how they were shrunk or how they ended up in the yard.
As the teens explore the yard, they come across recordings left behind by a scientist named Dr. Wendell Tully, who invented the SPAC.R, which can shrink objects and people. The teens discover that they are in fact in Dr. Tully's backyard and find the SPAC.R. However, the device malfunctions and causes an explosion in a nearby oak tree. The teens head over to investigate the explosion and find an entire miniature lab built inside of the tree. Inside, they find Dr. Tully's robotic assistant, BURG.L. Unfortunately, the explosion damaged BURG.L's memory, so it cannot help them repair the SPAC.R until the teens recover its memory backup chips stored in Dr. Tully's labs scattered across his backyard. Despite its memory loss, BURG.L assists the teens by providing them blueprints and knowledge on how to survive in the wilderness and defend themselves from hostile insects.
As the teens locate Dr. Tully's labs and recover the memory chips, they also begin to recover their memories, and recall that they were kidnapped and experimented on by a company called Ominent. Once they were shrunk and the experiments were complete, the project's leader Director Dalton Schmector ordered the teens to be disposed of. However, one of the scientists took pity on the teens and secretly smuggled them into Dr. Tully's backyard, as he is the only person that can help them. BURG.L recovers its memories and explains that a side effect of using the SPAC.R is a condition called Raisining Syndrome, where the shrinking process goes out of control and the person suffering from it eventually shrivels up like a raisin. Ominent was experimenting on children since they appeared to be immune to the effects of Raisining Syndrome, and managed to find a cure. However, Ominent still has been unable to replicate Dr. Tully's secret Embiggening Formula, which is needed to reverse the shrinking process.
BURG.L sends the teens to Dr. Tully's last known location. They find a recording left by him explaining that he had begun to suffer the effects of Raisining Syndrome and retreated to an underground lab in an effort to find a cure. The teens head into the lab and find Dr. Tully barely being kept alive by a life support pod. Dr. Tully further explains that Schmector used to be his supervisor before he left the company to work on the SPAC.R, and is angry that Ominent already built their own version. Seeing the predicament the teens are in, Dr. Tully instructs them on how to formulate the Embiggening Formula. However, Dr. Tully also warns the teens that once they start mixing the formula, Ominent will become aware of it and send their army of mind controlled insects to attack. The teens then have the choice of going ahead with the mixing process or confront Schmector's surveillance robot first. If the robot is defeated, the teens will recover a disk containing all of Ominent's research data, including a cure for the Raisining Syndrome.
The teens then mix the Embiggening Formula and reactivate the SPAC.R to return to normal size. However, the ending depends on whether they confronted Schmector or not.
* If the teens did not confront Schmector, then they will have no evidence to prove any of Ominent's wrongdoing. Schmector reveals the SPAC.R to the public and takes all of the credit for its invention. The teens try to return to their normal lives despite being accused of faking their disappearances, while Tully reunites with his family but remains in his shriveled form.
* If the teens confronted Schmector and recovered his research data, then they turn it in to the authorities, and both Ominent and Schmector are put under investigation for illegal human experimentation. The teens are hailed as heroes and Dr. Tully is cured of his Raisining Syndrome and is recognized for his invention of the SPAC.R.
