Game News GOLDEN BABY RISING - Grimoire Released!

[Ogg]

Today, as Cleve releases Grimoire, I honour my pledge. Let this badge serve as a reminder to all those who doubted Cleve.

Codex honor system! IT only works if we all accept the system!

It's been a while since I've seen so much honor...

 

[Serious_Business]

Surely this thread will expand the full extent of some degenerate' illiterate political ramblings at any moment now (we might also see a discussion on the nature of reality, which will lead, I hope, to a proof of God). Before this happens, can anyone actually say something about this shit game. Is this worth playing.

Notice that I did not put any interrogation marks to all of this. I already know the answer, you little rat

 

[DarkArcher]

Glad the game got released. Although, I can't honestly run out and purchase it until I'm convinced it is getting full support as the game waited so long for release and then CLEARLY needed additional patching. Hope the Codex gives enough of a thumbs up to then buy a copy.

Is this a well elaborated hoax? I refuse to believe.

 

[DarkArcher]

BTW- why isn't this game on GOG?

Buy it to find out!

GOG won't let Cleve patch Grimoire whenever he wants and the Steam version is already DRM-free, so buying it from GOG doesn't appear to have any benefits aside from handing money over to Poles instead Valve.

Even though the steam version is DRM-free, it's not bug-free, and so the patches and updates being made to it (in addition to new versions) effectively make valve's malware a requirement on your hard drive anyway.

Cleve can't be bothered.

Steam doesn't give you standalone downloadable installers.

Steam doesn't give you standalone downloadable installers.

Just move the files into a zipped folder, there's your installer.

I'm not here to comment on the game, or on Cleve. I just wanted to drop a line and say congrats on the successful release of your hard labor, Cleve. The incline is appreciated. The golden baby has risen.

RPG Codex Grimoire retrospective when?

That could cause problems, some games edit registry settings and so on.

Doesn't seem to be causing any issues with the pirates currently pilfering Grimiore.

Hey PowerTorment did you ever get your $100 back that you screeched about for a year straight?

 

[Terpsichore]

If this is true, why Steam? I refuse to use that melonhead botnet and much less give money to one. Why would a true thal distribute his masterpiece exclusively there?

Steam is the world's best distribution network for games. It's also the largest with all that entails.

The backend admin for the dev is so good it is beyond belief. It is brilliant. Brilliant. It is no surprise Steam dominates.

You don't get that with GOG, you have to go through Polish middlemen.

The only question you should ask yourself is "Do I like Wizardry 7?" - If the answer is yes, get it. If not, it's probably not for you anyway. And yes, Cleve has been patching it and will continue to do so in the months ahead. Only after that it may come to GOG.

 

[OSK]

Huh. I logged into Steam and saw someone on my friends list playing this. I had to come here to confirm. Congrats, Cleve.

Why wouldn't they allow this?

 

[mindfields]

Roguey doesn't know what he is talking about, GOG does quick patching for devs through Galaxy, it takes longer for the installers to get updated though.

 

[flabbyjack]

Get started on Grimoire 2 lazy lazy Cleve. Maybe you can finish it before you are too old and blind to program? Probably not...

 

[Wehraboo]

GOG likes to sell its games for like 4 dollars, who the fuck would put up with that? It is an OK place to dump some 30 year old game but obviously no one is going to release their new game onto GOG.

Games that sell at lower prices sell more copies, getting more revenue for the developer. Cleve is just too prideful to sell Grimoire at a sane price because he's put so much work into it. It seems like Cleve needs to go through a "Jeff Vogel" realization where he is forced to accept that gauging the hardcore market makes FAR LESS money than selling at a lower price point and taking advantage of Steam's massive userbase. "My game is only for hardcore players who are willing to pay top dollar!" might make you feel all good inside, but it'll leave you broke.

Grimoire at $20 would of been a sweet spot and could of enjoyed moderate success.
