Grimoire Thread

[Zep Zepo]

Zep, I think instead of working on your editor you should work on a viable defence strategy with your lawyers.

Cleve's full of shit, when he shows me actual verifiable court documents, he can have my true name and then try to get blood out of this turnip.

Zep--

The forces of decline are not giving up it seems. Story about Cleve is on the front page of Yahoo. Of course it only talks about the negative reviews he was getting in the first couple hours.

Looking at the site and the writer of this piece, I'm sure there is no agenda at all.

Rachel looks like a hottie tho

Question about Aquavia:

Spoiler

Is there a way to cross the body of water in Aquavia Causeway? I think that the solution to the 3 Clocks puzzle is Sun - Moon - Stars, but it didn't seem to change anything in the dungeon (or maybe I put it in the wrong order, I did it from left to right facing from when you enter the 3 Clocks room.) Right now, I'm leveling up my Swimming 1 point at a time a la Wizardry 7, but I really hope this isn't the way you're supposed to cross the water section in the first dungeon.

There is a secret door on the right, open it and there is a switch and a boat, the switch opens the gate and the boat is not a turtle.

Cleveland Mark Blakemore even regular widescreen stretch looks amazing!



Definitely do it! After you send out keys to IndieGoGo crowd, of course.

Excellent

Cleve, do you still plan a GOG release? I thought i could wait for it, cause i don't use steam, but reading the thread makes me want to buy it ?NOW?.
Will V1 be on GOG?

 

[tekknej]

Cleve, please make backer keys priority number one. After having paid for Grimoire over four years ago, it would be nice to be able to play the game. Thank you in advance.

But please, take the time to run a mail merge and get those keys out to your backers. I'm sure some of them can't afford to just buy another copy and it must be torture listening to all these newfags talk about their Grimoire experiences while they can't play.

Cleve take some time to get those keys out. Those of us with the game already can wait a little longer right now for responses and bug fixing.

in due time, lads. remember, paying customers are a priority, you time will also come.

 

[agentorange]

I'll pirate the game in a month or two, just to say I tried it. By then someone will have gotten to the "end" which will just be a crash to desktop because the game is unfinished. It may be removed from Steam at that point, especially after all the stolen code and assets come to light.

I would suggest just buying it.

Play it now and join in the fun with us- This is actually really cool playing the game and chatting with everything about it while its all new...

I'm sure it'll be on gog but imho it wont be for at least a little bit. Might as well join the fun than now that wait until ?next friday? .

Back to 'Mostly Positive'

Not for lack of trying.

No matter how many SJWs write bad reviews of the Louvre, people will still want to see the Mona Lisa. Even if they all claimed it is kitsch and not worth the trip. Excellence and incline win. Fail and decline lose.

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

There's always SteamSpy of course, but Grimoire's sales may not be high enough to produce meaningful results there. The site's creator is pretty open about the limitations of his techniques, so please always be aware of this. Currently no sales numbers are available yet, but we should be able to see something there eventually in the coming days.

That, or Cleve might just give us the numbers himself, which could actually give some pretty cool insights on the sales of a sorta-niche game.

1600+ copies sold since Friday 9 pm went live. Only a fraction of the number of copies that will be sold when the next patch and manual come out.

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Came to say that I have the exact same crash as mercyRPG

Looting the gate key from Aquavia (or whatever it's called) causes the game to crash with "ERROR 'ResPack.cpp' Line 671 Data Record Index Exceeds End Of Binary / 19"

Can you tell me the specific steps you use to generate this bug? I have run through that area, gotten the key and unlocked the gate four times to see if there was anything wrong. It's just smooth, no problems there.

Probably it is related to looting in general? Other people reports crash while looting.

I think this is it. In fact, I suspect a data corruption in a monster archest. Have to send out Steam keys but will look at it immediately afterwards.

 

[Baptismbyfire]

So when are we getting our keys dude. Just tell us.

 

[Roguey]

I went digging through my old posts in this subforum and found http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...11-grimoire-is-dead.45667/page-4#post-1429555

I think you will be surprised when you find yourself agreeing that Grimoire is the best computer roleplaying game of 1999 and perhaps of all time.

Suggesting this as a line to put on the store page.

Dream Big, Cleve...Dream On

[Not-A-Newfag]

Alright fuck it, sounds like people actually wanted to play this shit rather than joke about it. I'm honestly surprised, have you seen the screenshots? I'm outta here, again.

Goddamn, you are a fucktard. Straight from Steam to the Codex, eh?

Not-A-Hypocrite

2016? You are such a newfag. I've been here since like 05. bruh.

Did Cleveland end up smelling Sherry's finger?

This guy is salty because supposedly Cleve call him a bipolar.

He's playing the Magnum Opus created by the last Thal alive and complains about such mundane things. The world isn't prepared for what Cleve has just delivered.

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Update on key crashes:

edit: Ah, I see Cleve is here anyway now.

They are always saying in software development, never introduce basic changes to architecture in crunch time. I knew better but I was messing around with monster war chests less than two hours before it went live to specifically adapt for the "Chance Keys" (universal keys you can get after battles) warchest I added.

He's just crying about UI issues. But if you make a product simple to use only simple people will use it.

Over the 20yr development, which Blobber/s did you play the most of, as a benchmark to measure Grimoire's systems?

Were there any non-western Blobbers that influenced you at all?

 

[Perkel]

I bet all those "devs" making indie walking simulators selling 15 coppies for 5$ must feel enraged.

Now Cleave is rich enough to buy stone mouse instead of wooden one and can hire 3 gorillas to help him out with best game ever.

Can't wait for sequel !
