I wonder how many micro issues are still yet to be found. Especially once everyone leaves the starting area.

You need to setup timidity++ to have midi support in wine. There are many guides for it.

Sorry Epsilon, I think you're right. Whilst a couple of dll overrides gets the game up and running with sound effects I've yet to get the MIDI music working in Wine. The difference when playing it in virtualbox is remarkable. I've got fluidsynth running and can get Windows MIDI players to play music, but can't yet persuade Grimoire to do it. What I thought was initially a built-in software synth appears to be just a hook to whatever synth Windows has.

Might have to wait a bit to see if I can fix it as in my haste I accidentally deleted my virtualbox images directory and corrupted my Wine prefix and have spent all day restoring the former from a backup!

One day I'll have some time to play the game, but at the moment I'm just enjoying it vicariously through people's comments and videos. Carry on... :salute:
I'm sorry, you've missed the post I made later that day. I figured out how to get midi working in Grimoire. You need to install directmusic and gmdls with winetricks in the prefix.
I also made a video demonstrating it working.

So you see, you don't need Virtualbox or Windows to enjoy incline.

It certainly runs more smoothly in Wine than virtualbox, and and the mouse has less of a mind of its own.

Edit: If you haven't already it might be worth posting that information in the Steam forums. There are plenty of queries about running it on linux or MacOS and this is the sort of thing that should be stickied.

With how fast Cleve is pushing out patches, can you only imagine what a fuck show the game would have been a month ago? I guess he really did need that time, lol.

Good idea! - I'll write a small guide there.

He is an experienced wizardry player (he has wizardry 4 playthrough on his channel) and managed to beat green hand gang on level 1.


If you can't beat the Green Hand gang at level 1 your party sucks or/and you're doing something wrong.

It seems a special sort of butthurt to wish other indie developers ill

Turns out his "old-school RPG with a better UI" is done in RPGMaker

I don't mind it is from several pages back (gimme a break, I spent my day on the terrace playing D&D and killing characters, drinking, and finishing it with a steak dinner for our group before I logged on and saw my Indiegogo backer key in the mail +M), I want to point and laugh at this dumb entitled fucker who thinks his Speshul Indie Status and his RPGMaker project should grant him privileges over the man who had worked 20 years on his game. Wow! In another context, I would write something about what the world is coming to, but by God, it is so fulfilling to see this nincompoop and the fucking retro-hipster indie scene LOSE. Grimoire is delivering the Incline in mysterious ways!

Being in direct communication with the dev via the steam forums is really a unique experience. I'm impressed by the dedication he's putting into fixing all these issues. Essentially broke the game with the last patch then fixed it within an hour.

If there does in fact wind up being a turn based blobber resurgence similar to the isometric one, I suspect people will point to Bard's Tale as the game that is responsible regardless of how it turns out.

You should upload it as a Guide via the Steam interface. There a category for "configuration".

That would be true because It's going to sell significantly more copies (or at least it has to to be a success, since they're not doing it all in their spare time with a final months-long crunch like Cleve did)

"Grimoire is the perfect RPG for people who like being talked down to by a racist lunatic who believes neanderthals created a secret utopian civilization and took 20 years to make a mediocre game."

I would like to take the time to apologize to Cleve. He is right and I am wrong I am accepting the reality that I am a emasculated human being.

I'm sorry Cleve sorry for all my lies and hate campaign against you on youtube. I want to be just like you really that is why I started working on my own RPG but right now I am busy experiencing the 600+ hours of content.

It's so beautiful to see the enemies of Golden Baby vanquished and humiliated.

Browsing through some gaming-related message boards I'm amazed at the reactions Grimoire is provoking.

Many people are loving it.

Yet many hate it. Not the game per se. It seems everyone considers the game a masterpiece or (in the least) quite entertaining.
No... the game critics, instead of attacking the game mechanics or the bugs, seem fixated on the "racist, psycho, lunatic" qualities of its creator.
Good job, Cleve! Not only you've made an excellent old-school game, but you've also managed to trigger all the game libtards.
