Grim Jim is a hilariously bad name for a horror-themed game. Good luck all the same, though.

The name Grim Jim isn't meant to directly enforce the horror aspect of the game...

I think it sounds like a childhood prank or game, kinda like a wet willy.

Anywho, what are your current staff positions then? Just, you're hiring for almost everything so I was wondering what you have already.

Even so, when the name of the mod is actively working to undermine the themes you want to portray, you should probably rethink it slightly. Rhyming and horror rarely go together well.

G'day again!

Just to put an end to all of this 'sillyness', we at A-Tech have our own reason for calling our project the same Grim Jim which the public will soon find out why. As for not showing enough content, that's partly because we don't have any technical content such as code, models, etc. However we do have lots of documentation and concept art and what not. We haven't disclosed this information with the public yet because we'd like to show this information with people who currently work at A-Tech for our own personal reasons. which we do not need to disclose. It is only extremely early in the development cycle and the modding community can expect to see a full content release within a month, that is all I will say for now. Thanks.

I imagine cheesey cartoon grins and all sorts.

Listen, whatever your reason for calling the mod Grim Jim is irrelevant. Someone tells their friend "I just played grim jim", and their friend won't know the reasons. They'll just hear a funny sounding mod name. That title is the first thing you've got to get people even remotely interested, and we're all demonstrating that it's a poor choice.

According to their ModDB page, they currently have a 'Manager' (Cool_Nerd), Website Designer (JezzaFromAUS) and a 'Design' member (Angush).

Thanks for your insight, we understand that aspect of it fully, and for our own personal reasons are using that name still, in a way that it will work with the game.

As an update, "Level Design" and "Animation" positions are now closed.

Okay, fair enough. All the best of luck either way. Will be interested in seeing some more content when it's available.

Grim Jim makes me think of Serious Sam.

Or Duke Nukem. Earthworm Jim. Or maybe Vector Man.
