Grimoire gameplay and hints thread

[baboogy]

Can anyone give me a non spoiler hint or push towards where to look for the name of the djinn in the bottle. I tried the name in the Ancients, and casting mind-read multiple times with max power level but it doesn't seem to work.

Nobody has found it in the game yet, only from looking at the game files.

It's on a hieroglyph wall somewhere but you need high Ancient History to read it otherwise you'll get some other text.

I remember finding it, iirc it's in some late dungeon (inside the Imperial Palace).

Interesting, thank you. I finally have a character with 100 Ancient History, ended up putting points into it after maxing out the other skills I had wanted. I'll try to keep an eye out and backtrack if I have to to find it.

I think the Imperial Palace is the wrong one, no? Unless when I read it I had low Ancient History. Are you talking about the one beneath the palace, once you descend through the treasury?

Brother you need to tell us what you are working on

The name was one of few things that I cheated on by looking it up on the net. It drove me crazy.

I got the main screen set up for Gamma Zone and worked on the monsters for a while then one morning woke up and looked hard at the style and layout and it made me feel like puking it was so naf. So I shelved it and have been working on a Resident Evil 1-2-3 style clone survival horror in a slightly PSX flavor.

I will return to working on Gamma Zone but I think I have to overhaul the UI and I will probably be using this layout as my guideline :

I plan to have the title "GAMMA ZONE" up there beneath a Steampunk post-apoc interface with a CRT flicker on it. Six characters left and right and a rendered view of the world inside a television monitor screen in the middle.
Also, had pretty good success with fake 2D lighting for "dungeons" using flares and scrims. Cuts way down on renders and makes it look much more like graphic comic book.

Wizardry 6?

You could not have chosen a finer blueprint. It is my favorite Wizardry game and my favorite Gold Box era game.

What you showed previously did look plastic and "mobile" to me frankly.

Nobody can complain the UI is too hard

Who gives a shit. Fuck 'em.

These people like felipepe should work on curing their ADHD anyway, so it's a win-win situation.

I have had an attention disorder since I was a child. Playing games such as Grimoire (or Wizardry 6) calms it. That is due to their dreamlike quality (abstracted design).

Again, that is the name of a different djinn there. And if you tell that name to the bottle djinn, he even tells you so.

AXASHAZZAR vs AGDULHANISH

The guy who originally found the bottle djinn name in the game files mentioned that it was in the Snark ship section. So maybe it was supposed to be found on the ship.

Apparently Cleve also mentioned a long time ago that the "codes" for the djinn wishes can be found through mindread, though again, nobody has found them that way as far as I know.
