The cold harsh truth...

http://www.austdomains.com.au/login/cp_ ... r=grimoire

No one was really believing in it, but after all duke nukem forever was released, so why not grimoire may i ask ?
Sadly the site not being updated , and the domain not being registered, and we know how strict cleve is about copyright, it only mean one thing : grimoire is canceled (or cleve dead).

The cold harsh truth is that this site you link too was a joke/troll made by someone pretending to be Cleve. Seeing the "updates" on that site should have been proof enough.

Grimoire shall never die, because it is a symbol of RPG that is in us.A symbol that represents ongoing fight in the human psyche of broism vs popamolism.Popamole might have won this battle, but alas hear me, there shall come a new day, a new era when Grimoire and everything it stands for shall be reborn and will win the war.This will be the era of prosperity for mankind.
Till last dexian takes breath till Grimoire shall live in us.

That is more or less what I've been saying, too. I was assuming that it was the actual guy fabricating all of the details and updates, though.

@Mortmal
The last update was something like 2 months ago, if I am not mistaken. It was some time ago, but still hardly enough time to say that it wasn't being updated anymore, I think. However, the fact the site is gone is a little worrying. Hopefully he just forgot to pay the renewing bill or something.

@kris

Why do you think it is not Cleve? I mean, I don't really know Cleve very well, but I talked with mondblut, who worked as a play-tester for Grimoire. He thought it was probably the real Cleve and explained why he thought so. So, I was interested in hearing your reasoning.

There's pretty solid evidence that grimoiresystems.com.au (which redirects to grimoiresystems.com) was owned by the 'real Cleve'. Specifically, the whois information provides an address and ACN which matches that which can be found on the ABR/ASIC records for Grimoire Systems Pty. Ltd., which would be pretty easy to fudge with just a .com but would require significant effort for .com.au.

Additionally, if you head to vault-os.com, which is linked to from Cleve's daily-updated Vault-Co blog, you'll get redirected to the same crazydomains page.

This would be my guess as well. I really can't fathom the motivation of someone making fake updates for a game that will never come out, by this stage he would only be trolling himself. I guess in Cleve's ĂĽbermensch mind he probably believes that one day he can just sit down for 5 minutes and crank the game out and earn his vindication through superior Neanderthal programming powers.

From what I understand, the game has been completed a million times over, but Cleve has some weird OCD that makes him can the thing and redo it. Or something.

I have to admit, the game looked pretty slick. I wish he had simply released that shit, from the looks of it, I would have paid money for it.

I think he should sell his alpha or beta or whatever the greek letter it was version of the game to gearbox - I'm sure they'll be just happy to shell out some cash for such promising project and then, after a couple of years, we all will be able to play the game the way it meant to be played.

Or maybe he was just hacked. I mean, every serious developer company seems to be hacked novadays, so what's surprising if same thing happened with his prestigious forgot-how-the-heck-it-was-named-company?

With all the news about the Maunder Minimum in the press this week, Cleve is probably too busy spazzing out and/or gloating to notice his website domain reg expired.

Now would be a good time to reserve it OC. :)

The sheer fact Exmit doesn't even know who a character from the Ultima series is, shows he is a complete faggot.

I think hes just too young like many here, their first rpg was oblivion, i mean it.
People have no business talking about decline if they havent played the 90's mythic titles like ultimas .

Now dear unwashed masses , our dear teen codexers i suggest you to stop spamming every thread about bioware or bethesda with one liner and how shitty you think their games are, just to look cool.You dont even have the slightest idea what means a good game.

Avoid the DA2 thread, the skyrim threads, go read elzair's ultima LP instead:

http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=40046

Who knows you may actually want to play them , and maybe even start to enjoy a good game!

I would almost wager my house that Cleve will end up committing suicide. I totally keep expecting to find a news post at some site telling us that police in Australia, acting on worried calls from Cleve's friend/only relative who still spoke to him journeyed to his home and, after a couple of ranch hands disabled his security, entered his bunker to find him dead from a gunshot wound to the head, still clutching a WWII era pistol.

At least we don't have to hear about this crap game anymore.
