You're a fat retard who took 20 years to rip off Wizardry 7 and who holds a grudge just as long against a guy who never thinks about you at all.
How do you know who Ian thinks of every night?

Wow, the old biddy has some big knockers. :lol:

Would you hit on her now that you are single again Cleveland Mark Blakemore?

I mean she should be in your age bracket.

You should offer your help to Ian make Jagged Alliance 3 :cool:
I'd go back to true 2D isometric, which has improved rendering enormously using 3D render targets. Would never happen, they would prefer the 3D since it's much easier to do an iso game by just changing the camera to isometric.

I've done some tests in Unity which look incredible using Fallout 1 style old fashioned 2D rendering. I've also got a metric ton of incredibly good 2D iso tiles inspired directly by Fallout 1 & 2 to build maps from.

Maybe I should start on a strategy combat post-apoc 2D iso to compete directly with JA3. Be fun to once again beat Ian working alone with nobody helping while his 10 man team waffles just trying to get basic gameplay going.

I hope JA 3 is turn based because all real-time iso games suck unless they are frantic top-down action shooters.

In the past 30 years, I've completely beaten the problem with my weak understanding of probabilities for RPG math by learning how to precisely code the Fudge dice system such that it always feels right in any turn-based system. I would also probably go to a base 10 Fudge (-1,0,+1) dice system like Fallout instead of the 7 dice system. I love it and I've now been coding from scratch with it for two years and it is nearly perfect for all my needs. Great for an indie to skip one of the roles normally needed for the RPG math guy alone on your average development team.

Please do it, I'd help fund it.
Was playing with the Unity isometric tile editor a couple months back, it is possibly the best thought-out of any of the 2D features that have been added over the years. Supports stacking and excellent 2D iso sorting on a player character walking through it.

I wasted at least two weeks rendering these characters with all weapon variations and basic actions (talk, reload, fire, attack with melee weapon, etc.) using Sprite Baking Studio for unity with custom "painted" shader and anti-aliasing, they came out nearly as good as the original 2D Fallout characters. The armored characters look perfect for a power armor class like in Fallout. I realized I should put some custom decals on the shelter personnel afterwards so will have to go back and regenerate those sometime.

I also spent some time using custom cameras with stylistic effects to give the whole screen a more comic book appearance and that was working out pretty good too. I will eventually put some screen shots up here.

I remember that..
Cleve's second, third Indiegogo campaign? Was doing so well, having amounted to what i spend within a single weekend for grocery?
Major success. Ripples all over i tell you.
And the fat whale (no, not Cleve, the female fat whale, sorry) comes out with a Kickstarter.
True to his maturity and all encompassing kindness, Cleve dedicates hours, daily (that others waste by actually working) doing what? Trolling the fat whale's capaign.
Again, not Cleve, the other fat whale; try to stay focused.
And he succeeded. Was quite proud of it too. Her campaign was eventually cancelled.

It was a wonderful moment, denying someone else a chance at making a living, because.. small penis? Anything i can conceive of -insecurity, hate, jealousy, complexes- amounts to basically that. Small penis.
The fat petty man that can't even see it no more.
Or a fucked up life, that's one other alternative explaining his behaviour throughout the decades. A really fucked up, no good life.
I mean he hasn't exactly raked it in in life, has he.. and how could he, being a cunt to everyone; you need social skills to land a job in the first place.
(a job of import mind you; you know, the kind that's lucrative? So you don't end begging at Indiegogo at the tender age of 60? That kind of job)

What else?
Hates everyone he's worked with, slurs everyone he's been in contact with.
For decades in a row, will not stop throwing shit in the fan, even when it's uncalled for; talk about little penis obsession.
Is additionally 60ish years old, fat, oh right, and tends to lie all the fucking time.
But the bonus? The cherry on top?
And does Codex love him for that, lol, talk about pot meets kettle.

Imagine what a washed out, meaningless nobody you must be to thrive on teenagers' attention.
To have and maintain an internet "persona" of lols, lies and hyperbole 24/7 only so that the young at heart may.. what? Think highly of you?
As if their admiration at what amounts to nothing but a pretense changes.. what..?
Talk about rock fucking bottom.

But enough with the past. Let's now start throwing rocks at the people involved in JA! i mean, you cannot possibly compare JA's success and incline to err, Grimoire, now can you.
New enemies, fresh ammo, maybe the fat whale (yes, i do mean Cleve now) can get some new "virtual" fans! Just a few more insults at people unable to respond, how can it get any fairer than that!
Go on boys, keep on telling him how awesome he is.
Morans the lot of you.

Prophetic. I guess Cleve isn't the only one with an insert in Jagged Alliance 2; now she's looking as hideous as the Brenda dyke from Hans's porn video shop (in front of Tony's gun store).
IIRC that dyke had danger hair and no, as someone poetically called them - big bazoonkas. Not Brenda.
What she reminds me of is Fester Addams. With (big) tits and blonde wig.

What really made it complete for me is when he misspells "Moron" at the end. Gives you the perfect visual of this guy.

Previously I just thought you were a severely mentally retarded adult for whom the IGNORE button was invented. I realize now you are so aphasic and odd that this is possibly the last place on Earth you can speak without somebody calling the cops and having you removed off private property.

I also appreciated your gay love for "people of an official capacity." Another stereotype dies.

So all you could find on me was my purposely typing "moran" rather than moron. O.K., lol.
Additionally seeing "IGNORE" in caps, "this guy" and so on however.. not getting butthurt now are we? :D
It's O.K. for you to be a cunt 24/7, but when someone loses patience with you, straight up to ignoring huh? Avoiding much?
You a faggot on top of a whale? Goddamn!

Doesn't feel good, does it, having folks shitting on you, especially when they use nothing but cold facts.
And yet.. this doesn't particularly seem to stop you from acting like the online cunt 24/7. When it comes to others of course. Curious that.

As to me, because i do know you, you will read this, your ignore notwithstanding, just as you've done with posts from everyone else you're.. "ignoring" (you hypocrite).
You talk and ridicule all you want.
You've done fuck all of import, out there; amount to fuck all, out there; in real life, practically, tangibly. Fuck. All.
I know this.
You know this.
Now you keep on talking. See how many teenagers you get to cheer your fake, virtual-only persona.

Why is Blake more acting like a moran whining about how a word is being spelled. Talk about an SJW Nazi being easily TRIGGERED. LMAO

ROFL Trying to troll me. Please don't post things this gay at me. Your effeminate and fedora hat wearing weak thread game is too sad to be posting here. Face it you can't recognize nerve in another man which means you must be practically nerveless. Your sputtering inept insults are just more proof you've never been punched in the face or ever even suffered through a capuccino shortage at Starbucks. Weak men give rise to weak civilizations, weak computer games and weak culture that ends in collapse and dissolution. Ian and that whole crew there are people who fell ass-backwards into money they made by not paying their actual talent and it is unreasonable to expect that anything good could ever emerge from these neckbeards or anything of substance. They are generation meh.

Spell "Moron" for me again. A lifetime behind you and your grammar is still on par with a dyslexic 12 year old. If you think Ian Currie even with a couple million dollars ever wrote anything even as remotely as good as Grimoire then you don't know anything about computer games. Never happened.

The Sir-Tech kids are drawn from the failed generation and ten thousand of them don't add up to a dime's worth of human being. Ian and his team are the same generation that can't think of a country starting with the letter "U" when stopped on the street. It would no more be possible for them to write a game like mine than they are going to win at the 100 meter dash or suddenly wake up with a 400 pound bench press. If you took the collective away from Ian and other Sir-Tech staff they'd fade away like smoke in the air they are of such little substance.

I showed you the photographic proof above. There was never much to Ian to begin with, it was all that Sir-Tech backing with their stolen loot that gave him credibility. Now even that has faded away, leaving the empty shell of a ghoul. Whereas Ian has just waned into a foul smelling water vapour that drifts around traffic intersections, I seem to have waxed into an even more formidable person. That happens when you are composed of solid matter instead of implied value.

Ian and Brenda are normies who thought if they repeated it out loud long enough that someday they'd be regarded as game developers. Never happened and now they're too decrepit to even muster regrets. They've wasted all the money they were ever going to get to spend from somebody else and their circular logic is just an excuse to call the police and have them removed from the vacant lots they have set up their new "teh developin studios" with old wooden spindles and buckets for seats, pretending to work on their next products while typing on the keys of a broken Speak'n'Spell. Maybe they'll learn how to spell "Moron."

As for you, I don't pay much attention to ghosts and shades trying to wail loud enough to be noticed. Go back to posting weird autistic crap that I can't be bothered to read.

Sorry, so little interest I forgot to [IGNORE] the other day. Remedied.

P.S. The rest of your text didn't even warrant noticing but you definitely did get to me the instant you called me a liar. That's the only soft spot left on me retard. I am sure as a person without honor it doesn't mean anything to your wasted generation but calling me a liar about anything does make me angry. You wouldn't understand, it's all foreign to people like you and it always will be.
