Grimoire Thread

[cvv]

I'm reading this thread and all I can think about is I want to play Wizardry 7 again. Fuck. Please not now, it's a crunch week at work.

NOOOOOOOoooooooo.....

 

[Lambach]

You know, this whole thing could've been avoided by Cleve simply saying: "This guy said he was enjoying Grimwah for close to a 100 hours even despite its bugginess and unbalanced elements. Imagine how great it will be when it's fully fixed and balanced!" But no, he had to unleash all of his spergdom and confirm what a complete nutter he is.

No wonder 'thals went extinct, they are apparently too autistic to communicate with each other for long enough to procreate.

 

[treborSux]

Cleve you're being a gigantic fag. Knock it off, it's unbecoming.

Cleve has been the same way since forever but because he's criticizing a golden boy codexer, Cleve's attitude is suddenly a sensitive matter lol

 

[Melan]

Banned felipepepe, hah that's rich.

Felipepepe banned by Cleve
Bannon fired by Trump

The Decline Strikes Back, looks like.

 

[Trash Player]

Seeing his recent posts, I hope Cleve don't fall into depression. He has been in a maniacal state recently, the bounce may forbid v2 from ever being realized.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Looks like Cleve is back to his pre-release butthurt diva mode. Only this time he has moderation powers in a forum. And he chooses Felipepe out of all people to be butthurt at

I am reading through the drama faster than it's being generated can you people please keep up a bit

criticizing

Banning someone and threatening to revoke their game key != criticism.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Cleve, you do realize that this thread is in a public forum, fully accessible to non-members and Google search bots?

Seriously, have some dignity. Act like an adult.

 

[Draxylon]

BTW, where's the manual? Seems more important to spend time banning, trashing, shitmouthing, etc...
It's pretty sad and funny at the same time...

 

[Achilles]

Hi guys, what's going on in this thread?

 

[DavidBVal]

The debate wether Grimoire should be early access or not is ok, the debate wether Grimoire is broken or not is fine. We do that all the time about games, be them highborn or not.

Banning him from forums? It's his forum after all. Feels shitty to me but whatever, I'm "stealth-banned" too and I don't care.

But unless Cleve admits his mistake about felipepepe 's "free key" and apologizes for it + refunds those $100, he's a child, not a man.

What if he admits being a child and keeps the 100$?
I mean, listen, we talking about 100$.

 

[Sherry]

OMG- I leave for a week and it all goes to hell.

Why must we hurt each other so?

Felip and Cleve need to shake hands and come to terms because you're both wrong in some ways and right in others. This shit is how the civil war started.

God Dammit! We have a future to think about. Think of the children.

Now make nice.

We need Sherry as a peace negotiator.

Hi.

tu for the suggestion but we are going to the cottage today for the weekend and I already put all my support to my friend felipepepe last night when this all started to brew and based on the back and forth between them it is clear who is the nicer person is here and I am still angry about learning of the ban from just giving an opinion after playing and completing the game so who best to give an opinion on it right? Even Viata finished the game so that is another opinion worth reading from because they too went through the mechanics and puzzles and know first hand what they experienced balance wise. For myself I am still stuck and unable to find the alternate path around that Samhain region that I was warned never to go by the dwarf ghost so I really have not put much time into it this past week because of prepping and shopping for the cottage.

Thanks,
Sherry

If this was someone else, would all you guys care this much? Cleve's gonna Cleve. Nobody's special or safe in the bunker.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Yeah, Cleve. I do love your smackdowns of retards but you've got this one wrong - Felipepepe likes proper RPGs and doesn't randomly trash people's work for lols. Some of the wording of his post was unfortunate, but your reaction was completely disproportionate. Apologise and you'll gain respect not lose it, and we'll still tune in with popcorn when the next retard steps in. Playing hardball is not the way to go with this one.

Like you, you mean? No, I wouldn't.

But he's earned it.

 

[Lord Andre]

Game's still fun to play regardless of this fake drama.

Cleve gonna' Cleve and getting banned from a Steam game forum doesn't mean dick. Pull the thong out of your ass and carry on.

 

[Knee and Earth all]

cRPGs such as Grimoire must have a fair amount of "logic rules" to evaluate and adhere to. For instance, when a fight occurs, the code must have to check a lot of variables and constants, to see what happens to the party, and to their opponent(s).

I'd be really interested to learn from designers/devs how they would go about designing this. I guess one poor way would be to "hard code" this logic in to the game code itself using a set of if statements, or equivalent. Would a better idea be to take as much of the game's rules and logic, and put it in to some kind of "seperate module" (eg XML file, or database table, or some other repository perhaps?), and have the game code check this module to understand how fights pan out?

So if you wanted to add, edit, or delete a certain type of monster for instance, you could leave the game code untouched, and just edit a special text file, or database file, or other repository? If this idea is roughly sensible, then could the same principal apply to managing quests, and perhaps other things that occur in the game too?

What's the best way of designing this, so that it's easy to scale the game's contents, while at the same time helping to keep bugs out of the code? Thanks for any thoughts.

You can earn people's respect and support, news at 11.

I have yet to see another person to whom the term "special snowflake" and "hurt feelings" applies better than to Cleve.

You're not that much a newfag, surely?

I come here for RPG sperging, not interpersonal dramas or memes, so I might have missed some other "important" meltdowns.

Cleve's committment of being an unbridled loose cannon has earned my respect and support.
