good luck

>>384669571
I'll read some reviews and if it seems like its even a fraction of what it has been described as I'll probably buy it
if nothing else I believe that he'll never put it on sale

>>384669571
I will pirate it.

If it turns out to be as good as Cleve claims it is, I will then buy it and even get some extra copies to give to friends. I am however entirely confident that this will not be necessary.

>>384669710
>I will pirate it
How can you pirate a game that is impossible to pirate?

>>384669571
If the game is anything like the old demo I'll consider it. I'll probably wait a couple of months tho.

>>384669571
I don't really care about RPGs, I just find Cleve's persona fascinating.

>>384669680

No.

He know about Cleve's Neanderthal-powered DRM. He'll find out what you did and he'll find out where you live, and when he comes for you you better have 39.99 dollars handy.

Yeah, but only because I'm a steam slut and suspect this game will probably get removed from steam for legal reasons.

>>384670079
A dungeon crawler akin to Wizardry VII that's been in development for 23 years.

It might come out soon. Might.
It has already missed multiple deadlines and assurances that the game was ready for launch. Since 1999.

>>384670204
>legal reasons
Such as?

>>384670079
A mega-autist who genuinely believes he's the last living Neanderthal (he has a note from his doctor!) has spend the last 23 years working on a Wizardry 7 clone, which he claims will be the best game ever and will have over 600 hours worth of content. He's been working on the game since 1994 and has missed every single release date since 1997. He used to be pretty unknown, but he's recently opened a Steam page for his game which made /v/ notice him and dig into his hilariously awful past.

Don't spout that holier than thou attitude when it's just blatant lies. You'd just find the smallest possible thing to moan about and use that as a reason you ended up not buying it.

Why are dungeon crawler praised for their 1000+ hours game length?
These games are painfully slow and the content is bloated at best.

I can't even think of a single dungeon crawler with more than 80 hours of gameplay, and that is including Xeen which is two games in one.

While the game definitely exists in some form, we have zero proof the manual does.

>>384670886
>>384670971
>>384670984
Cleve has said that there is a manual, but it's only 20 pages long and doesn't cover most of the game, because he's been so busy with the game itself that he hasn't had any time to write a proper manual.

>P-p-p-p-pirates don't buy stuff
Some of them don't. I have a copy of La-Mulana on my steam and my vita, both of which I bought and yet I haven't played them on either of those, know why? Because I already played the shit out of it when I pirated it. I bought it literally to support the devs.
I did the exact same thing with Ys too.

>But I don't like the dev
Valid reason to not give them any money. Why would I pay them if I don't like them? kek
>But I don't like the people that printed and distributed the games
Also completely valid for the same reason.
>Completed it, game was shit
Done that as well. Cry more bitch nigga.

Oh, cool. A new release date. Can't wait for him to break this one, too.

Absolutely not. I don't even plan on playing the damn thing. I just want to see the game get criticized or outright shat on and how Cleve reacts.

Tbh I bought 9/10 games I pirated, especially genres I'm not used to for example my last three games I pirated were EU4, Civ 6 and Stellaris which I bought just a week after pirating.

>>384672658
>EU4, Civ 6 and Stellaris

I pirated and purchased these games as well.
My most played game on Steam - Mount&Blade Warband, I also pirated first.
Second most played - Civilization V, I also pirated first.

Games I pirated and ended up not buying are Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 3 I purchased Dragon Age 2 without pirating first, stuff like that, where I quit at the start. I literally use pirating as a demo.

So what is the consensus here?

Is he a fraud? Or legit crazy?

>>384669571
I'll wait for it to go on sale because it didn't sell so the proto-human has to drop the price to try to recoup some of his 20 years. $5 is a good point for something like this, $10 max. But I'll probably just play old M&M of Wizardy instead

>>384669571
Maybe at less than $10. It is really likely the game will be shit on fail rice covered in piss.

>>384672880
Crazy fraud

>>384672582
It was hacked together in C++ afaik.

>>384668730
>Twenty years is a long time to work on a single game
FUCKING WHAT? Somebody please redbull me on this game. Did he really work on it for 20 years? As in, started before OOT was released in 1998, and only finished now? What the actual fuck?

>>384670886
The manual will be shit and not tell you anything useful

>>384672880
I don't think he sets out to intentionally deceive anyone, but he's absolutely narcissistic and crazy to the point he'll stall and refuse to release anything because he doesn't want to face the criticism when it turns out far less of a game than he's been claiming.

>>384672959
Cleve has said that the price will never go below $40

>>384673052
get a load of this australopitecus.

>>384673028
>Did he really work on it for 20 years?
No.

He worked on it for 23 years. 20 years ago is when the first "release date" was set.

>>384673171
jesus christ

>>384672880
I think he started out genuine, and then rolled with the memes when they started appearing.
Like he really wanted to make the best game, and really thought he'd release it at X, and when people made caricatures of him he thought he'd play along with the joke and act like the caricature.
Maybe he quit developing the game, only talking about it for laughs, and recently with the indie boom went back to actually finish it.

>>384673130
>australopitecus
kek

>>384673089
Then he better happy with less than 100 sales. Not that it really matters as the game is never coming out

>>384672880
Personally I see two explanations:

The game is a huge daydream from Cleve, a power fantasy that gives him some happiness and attention. He hasn't worked on it since 97.

Or the pressure to succeed is so huge that he's in panic.

>>384673202
He hasn't really done anything, though, so who fucking cares. The game has no content even by dungeon crawler standards.

>>384673171
Please tell me he only worked like 10 minutes every day on it otherwise it's a huge mistake.

>>384673337
Cleve is known to self aggrandize and lie.
Recently he's been allegedly working 20 hours a day on it, plugging in his superhuman Neanderthal capabilities at the same time.
It is in fact impossible to know how much work has gone into that game.

>>384673337
You most likely overestimate the amount of time he spent on it every day by a large margin.

I have absolute confidence that the game will be released.

This has all been a massive con on his part. He has been building hype for two decades. Now, he will release the game to an incredible amount of hype and make THOUSANDS of dollars.

Mark my words. The truth is here.?

>>384674449
Because the game is not done or exist.

>>384674449
Clean and simple release date.
More time for testing and writing the manual.
More time to find a reason to delay. Again.

Looking forward to naming my party members after Malazan characters.

As a matter of fact, that series would be a kick ass setting for a CRPG. Mage hunters with Otataral weapons, Sappers/demo crew, the Elder races with their Warrens, Teblor blood oil warriors, etc etc

Guy wanted to make Wizardry 8.
He took a while, and the real Wizardry 8 came out.
He took a while more, and probably stopped developing.
He kept posting joke progress and promising to release for laughs.
Twenty years in the future, indie games took over the market, loads emone, he resumes development.
Might actually release some time soon.
