Game News Cleve Blakemore's Upcoming RPGs: Post-Atomic, Vaxxination, Cyclopean Chasms

[luj1]

BRUH

Not one, but 3 games from Cleve?

Is it Christmas?

 

[Humanity has risen!]

And on that note, we are still waiting for that Matt Barton interview, Cleve.

J_C get it done, Matt.

 

[Thonius]

Darn, why not a mix of fantasy/techno barb? Kinda sad...

 

[Gastrick]

Good to see news on a high-quality developer like Cleve. If he still does all his programming on the train ride to and from work, then one of the games should be here by 2024.

 

[Borian]

Not to comment on the quality of the games, but "Cleve Blakemore" sounds like the Great Value version of Clive Barker.

 

[Corvinus]

What's this? News worth reading for once? In 2021? Crazy. Thanks, Darth Roxor and Saint_Proverbius.

Oh fuck yeah! Post-Atomic sounds awesome.

It might very well be awesome, but the game with real potential is being neglected. Cyclopean Chasms should have had priority. A proper post-apocalyptic turn-based blobber might be novel but if anyone could do Lovecraft justice it would be Cleve. After finishing Post-Atomic he will no doubt continue to make blobbers using the same setup and engine as he outlined. This will almost certainly render Cyclopean Chasms vaporware. Sure, we might get Grimoire 2 that way, but at what cost?

In my opinion the only justice anyone could ever do to Lovecraft is to just read his shit. While some games/movies using Lovecraft's stories as a base were still entertaining, his work doesn't translate well at all into interactive/visual media and the reason it was so effective as horror in the first place was because everything was left to one's imagination - though this is really just a ramble and nothing to do with Cyclopean Chasms at all lawl. We don't know how much progress he's made in the development of any of these titles but I'd imagine they're all prolly very early prototypes and with Cyclopean Chasms seeming a bit more on the ambitious side of things, being a 3D dungeon crawler n all, it may require more than a single Neanderthal's effort to bring to life. Maybe once Cleve gets decent base going with his blobbers he could hire some contractors to help out with developing it.

Glad this thread was posted. Infinitron only posts the shit he shills for and what is demanded by the press kits.

Cleveland Blakemore's Cinematic Universe when?

 

[Lady Error]

No Wizardry IX Grimoire 2, no buy.

Grimoire II will be the grand finale in this new blobber engine he is working on:

Once I get the blobber engine in place for this post-apoc, I am literally going to be reskinning it and releasing it for different genres. A half dozen hardcore RPGs with different settings should do it for my ambitions and then I will have some time to work on vanity projects like my shooter, a platformer and other half-finished piles I have sitting on my hard drive.

I am also very interested in : Pulp Noir RPG, Lost World RPG, Superhero RPG and then of course Grimoire II, which will likely be the last blobber I build with the engine which will be thoroughly refined by that time.

Where's Daredevil Donut Lad 2

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

No Wizardry IX Grimoire 2, no buy.

In 2037, Cleve will release Grimoire II: Exemplars of the Heraldic Wings, followed in 2057 by Grimoire III: Wings of the Exemplary Heralds, which will feature rideable flyable giant turtles.

Matt Chat interview when, Cleveland Mark Blakemore

 

[Diggfinger]

My heart is torn, my mind is shattered.

On one hand, very happy to know about the new games.
On the other, somewhat disillusioned that the new project is not, as I had hoped, the next game in the Hitman series with Cleve featured as the main protagonist.

 

[Diggfinger]

Oh, and watch out for VaxxXination I I:Attack of teh Dildo Monstah (M rated)

 

[Mortmal]

Cyclopean chasm should be a vr title, there's little interest to play those kind of games on flat screen now. I think it could even be ported to the quest 2.

Most people don't own a VR headset and walking with a joystick is much less awkward than trying to walk in VR. Not to mention motion sickness.

With the flying turtle you can also reach new secret rooms where you can find even more secret rooms and do even more secret stuff

That meme of lovecraft's personal cosmic horrors never gets old.

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

That meme of lovecraft's personal cosmic horrors never gets old.

His wife said Lovecraft would almost crap in his own pants when he saw a black man. He was convinced they were agents of Nyarlathotep. It would be pretty funny walking down the street in New York watching him reduced to blubbering bloodshot eyed terror at all the foreigners.

 

[Jack Of Owls]

And back then in H.P's time the urban blackamoors were a kinda, gentler race of men. Imagine if Lovecraft walked down the streets of South Central LA today? He'd not only shit his own pants but the sheer hydraulic force of the expulsion would shit his wife's pants walking beside him too, and if he had a little fur baby named Niggerman next to him walking on a leash, he'd shit its pants also.

Thanks for getting it posted, Darth Roxor. Who knew that some people actually oppose posting news that everyone here is interested in?

Damn, Infi is at it again?
He ignored news about fucking RELEASE of the fully complete great Codexian game for the fucking four times.
Darth Roxor added it himself .
