News at 11, Grimoire is dead

[CrimHead]

Cleve actually sounds semi-sane in that quote.

Did making Grimoire break him?

 

[Crooked Bee]

However you would have expected in a superior neanderthal game a superior skill list .

This.

 

[bloodlover]

that is not dead which can eternal lie.

and with strange aeons even death may die

He was always broken, I'm sure his usenet posts from 1997 have already been posted before but they're all "blahblah broke all military records blahblah Sir-Tech forced me to work on a Wizardry sequel all by myself while my two insane crossdressing bosses spent all day fagging it up blahblah I am really angry at the direction Brenda Brathwaite and Linda Currie are taking Wizardry"

Oh and here's another from 1999

This game has come so far since the first beta test - it has made the leap now from darn good shareware to first rate commercial product. I still believe in my game and I think it is going to strip the pants off of Baldur's Gate, M&M 7, Wizardry 8 and Lands of Lore III. Before you dismiss that as delusional, remember - this game will come out in shareware for at least six months before it is available in retail so you'll get a chance to play the unregistered portion as much as you want in order to make up your own mind. 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.

That would make an awesome advertisement line if it came out today.

Cleve oh Cleve. To paraphrase other quote: "Cleve, Cleve never changes."

Perhaps ? Cleve was modesty incarnate ten years ago.

This.

It is so superior you manboons still haven't understood why he did it that way. Think outside the goldbox.

How clever.

 

[Cenobyte]

Thread delivers

With all those beta, gamma and delta testing, I think it's safe to assume that we won't see the game until 2020.

Heh, you're optimistic, bro.

 

[Serus]

There are at least 20 more letters in Greek alphabet, the game certainly needs epsilon testing, kappa testing, mu testing, omega testing, and more...

 

[Mortmal]

And then omega 1 omega 2 , omega 3 (like in butter)...Its awesome how cleve become a shy little boy when it come to speak about grimoire.
Post anything neanderthal related and he will reply within the hour, but about this game, hardly any info or discussion.
No explanation about mixing those two VERY different weapons in a skill set.He probably sent the beta version to a select few of cocksucking australian friends who wont give him any constructive feedback. I bet there's much more incoherent stuff in it .
I would be tempted to say cavemen use both scimitar and axe as blunt weapon, but certainly he has a more sophisticated answer about this.

The company moto for Cleve's Golden Era Games is "As Good as You Remember, Except Better!"

I suggest he change it to "Making the best RPG of 1999 since 1997!"

 

[TripJack]

the screenshot says grimoire 1.0 so you know it's legit

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Thread should be locked and dispatched straight to Retardoland.

 

[TripJack]

why

 

[Excommunicator]

Because you're playing around with Cleve's weak point and he at least is conscious enough to know that engaging the criticism of his baby will not only fuel it further but make him feel even more inadequate about the sorry state that it is in.

I have known many people of Cleve's variety, just none anywhere near as neurotic.

 

[LusciousPear]

Oh lawd, ITZ impending.

 

[Mortmal]

There's a reason comments are not allowed on his site, part of him is fully aware of the blatant flaws of his game.
He will never release it he's too ashamed of the hydrocephal , blind and mute, baby hes trying to save. If ITZ coming, and he release , l i will review it, ill ask a professional translater.Trust me you will remember that review, ill put all my soul and heart into it .

Remove excess fluid, pump skull with helium and truly, it will be able to fly.

How's the best RPG of 1999 coming along Cleve? Cleve??

More http://grimoiresystems.com.au/goldenera/ updates, the latest one from Jan. 28 reads:

Home Stretch of Complete Walkthrough – 78%

I made a spot fix to the spell casting engine and it fixed a bug that kept cropping up in cloud effects, chest traps and grab attacks all at once. It was two lines of code I added innocently about a year ago to keep the PC’s combat orders updated according to the outcome of a magic spell.

Found some more places that needed work, a bit barren, also found a few logical glitches that could prevent the player from completing an area if not repaired.

Otherwise, looking solid. Playable but not finished yet. I am already realistically accepting I will need at least two months to address everything I have discovered during the walkthrough, particularly in filling areas out using my notes. Some of the things can be patched very quickly, other areas will take several hours to complete. Things like empty barrels and crates can be fixed in a single day’s work with the right data.

So it's only taken Cleve about two month and a half to play through 78% of his own game.

I was looking for more notes related to Grimoire and found a folder filled with maybe 800 pages of ideas I wanted to put into the game … things like a magic chest that fills a room with water when it is opened. Bits and pieces like that.

Uh, looks like the best CRPG of 1999 might see some more delays...
