There's no market in pandering to morons. I wouldn't want to make that kind of money.

Grimoire is an elite game that is unlike anything else up on the Steam store. I defy you to find anything like it in the thousands of games listed. I defy you to find a game like it on the planet. It's not even a Wizardry clone really - it's everything Wizardry should have been but never was.

I'm not competing with Sir-Tech any more. Amongst other reasons, they went bankrupt 17 years ago.

I'm not competing with anybody. Grimoire is the pinnacle of the peak of the summit of the incline. I could probably get 99.95 from a lot of people but I don't want to limit it just to the very elect of RPG players. I made a compromise and and priced it somewhere just under current AAA titles. The truth is there is not an AAA title you could buy nowadays that deserves to crawl up on a high chair and plant a kiss in the crack of Grimoire's ass when it comes to enjoyment, immersion and wonderful escape.

I say all this with confidence because I have been playing my game 12 hours a day for two months and I can assure you there has never been anything like it in all of recorded human history. It's the greatest thing ever to emerge from that genre. The fact is, people who enjoy that genre are considering it cheap at that price. If you are not a connoisseur of the genre then why would I amend anything in it to appeal to you? It's like saying Mozart needed more cowbell.

Trust what I am saying. Those of you who played the demo and got the scent of greatness will know the full game has achieved it. For whatever it lacks it has much more in abundance.

I was just playing Kublai Cathedral to check all the logic and was almost weeping tears of joy at how wonderfully told the story of everything is in the game. I had forgotten a lot of it and it was like reading the work of someone else.

too much fur bait tbqh desu

also I seriously hope the game allows you to kill NPCs like in elter scrolls

The game will suck you mentally into another dimension of win and excellence, no kidding. I warn unstable people against playing it at all. If it becomes that kind of obsession with the author - who should be long tired of it by now - you can imagine what elite fans RPGs will feel.

The game is special. I have supercharged it with awesomeness right down to the atomic level of every bit in the digital binary. $39.95 is very cheap once you have played the game for a short while.

I'll be pirating it at the very least.

It moves in real time. Meaning that if you stay still too long, the ghost gets you. If you're in the middle of a random battle, it gets you. It's like a pissed off FOE on crack.
>The first room
The puzzle in the first room is hard to describe, but what I can say about it is that it was actually SO difficult, that the second printing of the game, the instruction manual came with a sealed section with the solution of the first room and how to get out of it. It was so notorious that the creators of the game would give you a prize if you mailed them a photo of the end credits and the still-sealed instruction manual proving that you solved the first room on your own.

I'll be here and on RPG Codex to see the guy meltdown when his game comes out, is shit, solds like garbage and is immediately pirated.

It's gonna be an ok Wizardry 7 rip off at best. There is no way whatsoever it will live up to the stupid hype it's been building for the past two decades.
But of course, the funniest case scenario is that it turns out to be complete shit and a buggy mess on top of it.

People are shitting on this guy because he's out of his mind and really arrogant for someone that is just making a Wizardry 7 clone.

The Wizardry games were fine for the time, but they have a loooot of issues. I'd like to see an actual modern Wizardry-like game that properly had the appeal of the old games while being much better in general. It's a genre that doesn't get explored enough.

That's clearly not what the developer of this game is going for. Aside from the fact that you can Auto-Heal, Auto-Walk and it Auto-Maps for you, this game is straight out of 1998. Have you seen the number of attributes and skills it has? Dump stats galore, hope you're ready for a lot of trial and error or you bought the digital manual, goy.

Do you guys think this game would be a good buy for someone who hasn't played Wizardry, but has played Etrian Odyssey, Ultima Underworld and System Shock? What I like most about these games isn't so much the combat but the exploration, the feeling of really getting to know the dungeon/labyrinth/space station.

I'm thinking of buying because the dev said their will be a sale when the game first comes out, but not for years afterwards. On the other hand I just bought a load of games in the steam sale, and 35-40$ is a lot to spend on an indie game.

Why did he have to use cheat codes and save states for his own game?

Yeah exactly, he's pricing sapes out of the market and will make less money because of it. It's an inefficient price that will lead to less commercial return, but that's because it's not a commercial project.

he could keep the sapes out by exclusively releasing it only to the "lot of people" "i could probably get 99.95 from"
he seems to know who these people are anyway, and if they are really interested in the genre they know who he is and can figure out how to contact him. He is selling the game for profit, however minute, plain and simple and that is commercial.


You dont put something at a price under AAA titles and purport its to keep people out, that literally makes ZERO sense.

Yakub=Enki. Enkidu are plural and equal to neanderthals who are superior humans. Gilgamesh was a melonhead(jew) who wrote himself into the first Enkidu actions. Enki and other gods are aliens, and they use melonheads to control homo sapiens to hunt down the remaining neanderthals.

That's a real pity.
I buy games at GOG because they are DRM free and GOOD OLD GAMES like they used to make them.
Besides, there is a higher chance that the people who buy from GOG would be more interested in Grimoire and inclined to buy it than the average 12 year old Steam toddler.

I haven't bought anything from Steam since 2011 when I realised what a despicable, money sucking businessman Gaben who does not give a fuck about vidya anymore truly has become.

I have two options now; pirate the game and get to play it or don't. The urge to play it is too big to resist.

Corwin doesn't know what he is missing, seriously. The game is x infinity better than the version he tested.

Listen to what I was double-checking today. You're not going to believe it.

So I freed Q'Orl from the Royal Bestiary and he left to go to the Astral Plain. I also fought the cockatrice here and got the braid.

After sawing off the lock at [REDACTED] I noticed it was pretty solid gold so I spoke to one of the thieves in the woods about it. He told me something amazing - that there was a smith in Crowl who could work a piece of raw gold like that into some pretty spectacular armour. I took it back to Smithy and he told me to leave it with him, he'd see what he could do.

I went off and had some amazing adventures in a dungeon to the far west and discovered a Djinn Bottle. I got the Djinn to reveal the secret page for me and later I asked him to transport us to the Astral Plain. We met up with Q'Orl again and he gave us something very special in reward for traveling so far to see him again. We moongated back to Dominion Wilderness outside the city and I spent some time forging a recommendation letter for Shrike to see if we could join up with the Vanguard.

I went back to see Smithy, stopping at another weird cave for some excellent rewards before arriving back in Crowl. I was increasingly getting pretty fitted out, the entire party was wielding some pretty serious weapons and magic.

Smithy had made me the best armor in the game, the golden armor. Pretty pimped out at this point, plus two resurrected party members from bones and one of the Ego entities had joined us and they had gargantua stats. Was getting in shape to beat up some of the toughest monsters in the game. All this happened today just wandering around testing and double-checking various elements of gameplay.

It's so dense it is like those 12000 page novels written out in longhand on legal paper they find in the apartments of adult retards when they die.

It's so dense it is as thick as jungle foliage that you need two machetes to clear a trail through.

There are wheels within wheels in Grimoire and wheels inside of those wheels. Those wheels have little wheels inside them running wheels. Grimoire is a fractal it is so dense.

Sorry, but after two months of playing my own game I have to say that Crusaders Wizardry 7 is just a pale shadow of this win and excellence. I started as an imitator but I am finishing as something else.

So basically you can skip 90% of the content just by doing a handful of quests with a bit of metagame information without consequence? The exploration stuff sounds neat but if you happen upon some of this stuff by chance it could take a lot of the experience away by giving you SWORD OF ALL-SLAYING when you are level 1 and you never have to upgrade that character's weapon ever again because they can kill almost anything thrown at them straight out of the gates

You may not like it, but Grimoire is what peak PC gaming performance looks like.

This is his blog

Read at your own peril.

>Cleve Blakemore also develops Vault OS,[10] "A complete x86 16 bit real mode multitasking, multiuser terminal system for civil defense that provides for management of inventory, personnel, medical records, calendar, scheduling, maintenance and monitoring of a civil defense shelter." It certainly seems to be the market leader in its niche.

BASED Cleve must have been told the secrets of the universe by Sir-Tec

>bog standard numale pink haired indie dev

Lel, try again. He is a 50+ dev who somehow managed to make fucktons of games for the C64, but went insane sometime after the Commodore died. Or maybe he was already insane by then, but he hid it well. He is extremely religious, thinks his DNA had been rewritten by aliens, and for the better part of the past 25 years he'd been preaching about the coming apocalypse when africans will flood the rest of the world killing and raping everyone. Or everyone except him. He built a bunker.

I wouldn't say he is a moron, but he is definitely out of the loop (still being stuck in the past, making a game in his armageddon bunker) on how the internet and piracy works these days.

It's just odd that the thought hasn't crossed his mind that GOG is specifically for people who are interested in old-style games. That's the sole reason GOG was founded in the first place.
My theory is that he would have been much more successful relasing the game over there. But then again what the fuck do I know. I haven't spent 20 years of my life trying to make THE PERFECT dungeon crawler.

>I am not one of these guys. I'm not going to lie to you and pretend I was ever impressed by Plato's THE REPUBLIC. I read it when I was ten years old and I thought it was pretentious crap as soon as I closed the back cover. I could see Plato was a high strung narcissist pretending to be bright, just like Richard Dawkins. Nobody told me Plato was an idiot. I knew it instinctively.

Well, to be fair, the recent events in Europe re: immigration flooding from Africa must be confirming his fears.

I can't handle this complete lack of self awareness. It's just mind boggling.

Is this game turn-based or real time like Legend of Grimrock?

Different anon, but what Wizardry recommend suggested to play? The series always looked interesting, but I wasn't sure where to start.

If you're a prepper and you're wrong the worst thing that can happen is you wasted some time and money. If you're not a prepper and you're wrong you'll fucking die. Who's the real idiot now, huh?
