Grimoire

Will you stop fucking shilling, please? You're not even discussing the game. All you want to do is make thread to raise awareness of it. Fuck off.

Breaking: Approximately 2 hours ago Robert Sirotek, founder of game developer and publisher Sir-Tech, had Valve served with legal papers. Presumably Sirotek has reason to believe the the conspiracy theories are true - Grimoire is based on stolen code and/or assets from Wizardry 8: Stones of Arnhem, a Sir-Tech game Cleve Blakemore worked on before leaving under a cloud.

>>385746342
Alright, here's the semi-complete saga of Grimoire. It would take a book to cover an online drama that's been going for 24 years, but here's the essentials.

Let's go back to 1992. Sir-tech has just released Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant, in the long-running and legendary Wizardry series. If you didn't know at least that, you're too young to be caring about Grimoire anyway. Now, like all great games, there's talk of a sequel, and not long after Sir-tec begins production on it. Wizardry VIII: Stones of Arnhem is now in development. However, it's not going too well. So Robert Sirotek brings in a "crackerjack programmer" who had recently moved from Los Angeles to Australia. His name is Cleveland Mark Blakemore.

After being attached to the project, Cleve warns Sirotek that Stones of Arnhem is unsalvageable and should be canceled. Now, what exactly happened next is a little unclear because Sirotek tried to cover it up (look up the Stones of Arnhem eBay auction and how Sirotek had it seized) and Cleve is... we'll get to that. Eventually Cleve leaves Sir-tech due to a series of strange incidents such as the artists wanting to put anus monsters in the game or the presence of sex toys in the office (both of these have been confirmed by other sources, you don't need to take Cleve's word for it) and Stones of Arnhem fades into the footnotes of RPG history.

In 1994, after leaving Sir-tech, Cleve announces that he's working on Grimoire, a true successor to Wizardry VII. His goals are ambitious for a one-man project, but he thinks he can do it. Now, if you weren't around at the time, you need to understand an important difference between the 90s and today. At the time, gaming wasn't corporate like it is now, it was a scene. So developers weren't obsessed with a sterile public image and PR approving everything. If you wanted to have a Doom deathmatch with John Romero, not only would he do it, he'd lay down trash talk. Amazing times.

>>385748116
So when Cleve spent a lot of time on Usenet answering questions and taking pot shots at detractors, this was nothing unusual. What was unusual is that Cleve is kind of a lunatic. Mostly alternative health, the government putting stuff in food, that sort of thing. He's also self-aware and likes to troll people who take everything seriously. The whole neanderthals vs. sapes thing is a joke, he doesn't actually believe he's a living fossil. But he is a conspiracy theorist, that much is true. His blog is filled with delusional ramblings about genetics, physics, nephilim and all kinds of stuff religious wingnuts are into.

But anyway, Cleve works on Grimoire and shows a couple screenshots. He has something! Maybe the game will come out eventually. A release in late 1997 is announced. People were intrigued... until the end of 1997 sails by with nothing to show for it.

It's been a few years, so some people were already skeptical of how much work he's done in that time. However, in 1998, a beta of Grimoire is released to a select group of people. It's real! He has something to show for the last three years! Some interest is rekindled. Meanwhile, also in 1998, the main branch of Sir-tech closes, showing Cleve was right about how fucked they were. The Canadian branch lived on, that was the company that would later release Wizardry 8 in 2001, very different from the other Wizardry 8.

But back to Grimoire. As time passes, it becomes clear that there's a problem. The short version is that Grimoire is perpetually very close to release, but never actually finished. It's bug-free, but needs just a few more passes. It's always very polished, but could do with a little more polish. Years pass. Release dates are announced and missed several times. Multiple incidents of online drama are fought over.

>>385748207
We wouldn't get anything concrete again until the next beta in 2005, distributed to certain members of RPG Codex and a couple others. And even without the massive time gap, it's not encouraging. The game is somehow buggier and more broken than the previous beta, with few actual changes to the gameplay or map. Everyone had already given up by this point, this was just the punchline to the joke.

After some more cycles of the usual shit flinging and missed release dates, Cleve launches an Indiegogo campaign in 2012. It fails miserably, but still manages to scam 159 backers out of $10,598. How does Cleve respond to this failure? Does he think about why people don't trust him? Nah, he launches a second Indiegogo and this time gets $6,805 from 114 idiots. On both of those, he promises a release in May 2013. Then nothing happened.

Afterwards, on the Codex, he puts a count of "issues" in his signature and says when it reaches 0, he'll release the game. As it gets low, he makes the number a decimal, for partially solved issues. Then he changes it to a count of "micro-issues" and raises the number. Eventually it does reach 0 and he says the release is "in progress". Then it's a couple more years of claiming to be working on the game and shitposting on RPG Codex.

A few months ago, Grimoire was put on Steam Greenlight. It got greenlit because everything did. Needless to say it got a release date that it missed. Its next release date is in less than 24 hours, and it's going to miss that like it missed all the others. The Grimwah meme will never die.

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.

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.

How does this work? Does the person who commissions the video hands him a script, or does he have to research and write it himself?

>>385759212
Doesn't even need to be cracked in the traditional meaning.
You can literally take a generic steam emulator .dll, edit the steamid of the game in the .ini file and it's done.

>>385743857
NPCs are static in V1 (thank God). And by static I mean "Not like in Wizardry VII".

>>385760669
You give him a script you retard.

So what's the price going to be?

>he puts a count of "issues" in his signature and says when it reaches 0, he'll release the game. As it gets low, he makes the number a decimal, for partially solved issues. Then he changes it to a count of "micro-issues" and raises the number
That had to have been some kind of social experiment to see how much obvious bullshit people are willing to believe, no way he thought that looked convincing

>>385760763
$39.99, with a 10% discount on launch as a reward for the true fans who buy it on day 1.
And then it will never ever go on sale again, not even during Christmas events because he wasn't want the poorfags just looking for a cheap game touch his masterwork. Or so he said.

>>385760763
I think 34 or 39 bucks was mentioned.
Not sure though.

>>385748295
If he really belives in nephilims, how do you know that he doesn't truly belive he is a neathertal?

Also, does people really have interest for this kind of game today? I understand the joy of some old games in the infinity engine, or even some text-based games, but the model os grimoire seems completely dated.

>>385760794
He's been pulling shit like that since forever, a lot of it is just to troll the shit out of the Codex.

>>385760965
yes people still play the older wizardry games just go visit /vr/

>>385760965
>If he really belives in nephilims, how do you know that he doesn't truly belive he is a neathertal?
Because he talks about sapes and thals he's always joking or whimsical, but when he talks about Bible stuff he gets dead serious. That's how you tell what he actually believes.

>Also, does people really have interest for this kind of game today?
A few, not a lot. More who say they do than actually do. It's the same thing we see with, for example, arena shooters. Kids too young to have actually played Quake talk about how no one makes these kinds of games today for the hipster points, then when an actual arena shooter comes out it dies because they can't deal with a genre that requires skill. If Grimoire actually comes out, you'll stop hearing about it because their bluffs got called.

>>385735885
Someone explain the incline/decline meme, I'm a regular in these threads and don't get it.

>>385762294
Incline is when good CRPGs with turn-based combat, tabletop-based character creation/progression system, good reactive stories and/or reactive dungeons are released.
Decline is what we actually get every day of the week.

Is anyone really going to put in the effort to crack a game wanted by tens( maybe dozens) of fans?

>>385762294
Decline is games being shit, and getting shittier with each year. Incline is something that goes against this trend by being good. Simple stuff.

>>385762294
The Codex thinks games have been declining since the 90s (Don't yell at me this is what THEY believe).
Since this game should have been released in the 80s it is incline.

They are an odd bunch.

>>385762871
Yes because all of those people want a crack and some of them are autistic enough

>>385763051
>since the 90s
Nah, they like the 90s stuff.
It's the 2000s and particularly 2010s they despise. (and even then they've seen a couple of bright spots lately)

>>385763162
No you fucking idiot

This game is unironically going to be a masterpiece and IT will be released.

All doubters should fucking kill themselves

>>385763440
I did and responded accordingly.
The best of the CRPG genre was released in the mid and late-90s. Afterwards we mostly saw FPS-hybrids (Bloodlines, Deus Ex) and a few actiony ones (Witcher etc) the vast majority of which were garbage.

>>385763602
So, if you are focused purely on that subgenre, it sucks. But if you aren't then obviously gaming has at least stayed on the same level, what with all the other games that come out. Do you understand me better now?

Not if you care about RTS games, 4x games, space sims, dungeon crawlers or any of the other genres that haven't seen any love.
Or if you're not a functional retard who gets off to "cinematics" aping hollywoodshit and cover-shooting.

>>385763602
Being actiony doesn't diminish an RPG. Turn-based doesn't take more skill or is better on concept. Gygax himself pointed out making perfect recreations of his system which was always meant to be a framework for imagination was missing the point.

>>385764358
>Distant Worlds
Meh. Even Sword of the Stars blew it out of the water imo.
>Dominions 4
It's a multiplayer game really. Doesn't scratch the 4x itch at all in singleplayer.
>Aurora is supposed to be great too.
It's an autism simulator that cares more about physics simulations than it does about content.
>We have Dwarf Fortress
AKA the only good sim to be released since the late 90s.
>La-Mulana
Good game, doesn't pertain to any of the genres mentioned. And is meant to be a throwback homage to the MSX to boot.
>One Finger Death Punch
Newsgrounds flash garbage.
>Nigger that stuff's over a decade old
And it still keeps going on despite being shit to begin with.

That was the point.

Yes it does, as the actual examples we have clearly show.

Yes it is, as any half-decent system will show when compared to all but the peak of their respective genres.
>Gygax himself pointed out making perfect recreations of his system
That's a reference to people asking him personally for house rules to OD&D (which eventually spawned into the more standardized AD&D books) and has nothing whatsoever to do with people adopting D&D for CRPGs.

>>385765559
Actually Dark Souls would be the example I would point to favorably compared to all but the best of the turn-based ones.
The remaining swathes of action "RPGs" tend to fare badly even to half-assed TB.

600 hours with only 14 classes sounds boring tbqfh

>>385765793
Doubtful. The only great turn-based RPGs I can think of are roguelikes. Maybe I'm just tired, but I can't think of any other great turn-based RPGs, and that's including JRPGs.

>>385765809
anything turn-based is boring, there are a whole bunch of people clinging to an outdated system that only existed because computers couldn't do anything in real time, it's time to move on

>>385765809
It's not.

Grimoire is a fucking masterpiece.

>>385765251
You meant to say: AAA is bad.

>>385765938
>turn-based

wut

>>385766053
You can eat food and drink and do whatever you want with turn-based games.

It adds to the comfy

>>385766163
Well given a lot of CRPGs are realtime with pause I assumed we were being relatively loose.

>>385766053
I just don't understand why they refuse to throw a wide net for fun bullshit, why they take the art of retro turn based so fucking seriously. Those games exist -- if I wanted to play them I would go play them, stop retreading steps.

>>385765809
With 14 classes and 8 party slots, there are 14^8 = 1475789056 possible parties. If each playthrough takes 600 hours, that makes it 885473433600 hours to truly 100% the game. That's 101081442 years. It would take 1189193 of your pathetic monkey lives to fully enjoy this masterpiece.

>>385766053
That's not really true though.
Some systems work best on a turn based system. Especially for some RPGs
Games that are real time with pause might as well just be turn based.

>>385766219
yeah but a turn based roguelike doesn't make sense, how would something like binding of isaac or spelunky even play like if it was turned based?

>>385766315
Why not 14*8 which is 112 possible parties which sounds a lot more reasonable.

Action precedes turn-based. Temple of Apshai and so on.
This talking point has been debunked so many times it's basically become a cliché, even Tim Cain mocked it a bit in his Fallout retrospective at GDC.

>>385752069
Insider here, tomorrow Cleve will not release the game and blame it on some asset use issue. He'll initially say it will only take a few days, but that will easily jump to at least a month.

>>385765251
>Yes it does, as the actual examples we have clearly show.
No it doesn't, gameplay potential and versatility isn't the sole biggest strength of RPGs. If you look at it that way every RPG sucks compared to pure turn-based strategy / tactics.
>Yes it is, as any half-decent system will show when compared to all but the peak of their respective genres.
For the two things mentioned above sure, but isn't worth shit went it comes to skill. Nothing turn based ever reached a level of Quake 3 and Starcraft except chess
>That's a reference to people asking him personally for house rules to OD&D (which eventually spawned into the more standardized AD&D books) and has nothing whatsoever to do with people adopting D&D for CRPGs.

Hey there Murderface!

> I have decided it is just a nice thing to do for people who have been waiting years to play my game if I offered a 10% discount on the game during it's first week. After this ends, I want to assure anyone waiting for the game that Grimoire will never, ever sell at a discount at any time it is on the Steam store ever again. I won't permit it to be sold below it's retail value for any reason. I am too proud of my finished product to permit it to be turned into simply another commodity in a Steam sale. If Valve ever decides that sales of the product no longer justify it having a page then I will move it to another venue - but as the author I will never offer my game at a discount again anywhere.
