Grimoire Thread

[Jenkem]

It's Friday, is the manual out?

 

[PEACH]

You misunderstood, he meant next Friday

 

[Dorateen]

The anticipation for the Official Game Player's Guide is like waiting in a cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.

Hallowed be Grimoire

DECLINE is going REAL-TIME!

Introducing...DECLINE: EXTREME

No more save file shenanigans.

Cleveland Mark Blakemore is having an aneurysm burst right about now.

So Cleve made about $120K so far and he is pressing to get the mac fund back and the bunker money. This is more money than he has made with his temp jobs in the past 12 years combines.

Welcome to middle class, Cleve. Vote liberal.

Manual is coming along, may just post it as-is but then a million butthurts from people who don't even own the game will then ensue because it is missing some detail. Trying to throw everything in, the manual is actually more like the player's guide and hint manual together.

I just heard from the editor of a games magazine who is waiting for the revision and manual before posting a review of it, he told me it was flawed and still the best RPG he had played since Wizardry 7. He said it takes a particular skill to clone another game's style and general feeling and I had done an admirable job of copying several different RPGs including Might & Magic series.

 

[V_K]

Since Grimoire development took 23 years, the manual just can't be out in less than 2.

 

[Rpguy]

a million butthurts from people who don't even own the game will then ensue

Isn't that a good thing?

 

[Rpguy]

GOLDEN ERA GAMES [developer] Just now
Once I get the first version out, I will release regular updates every time I add a little something new to it. The first version has to be complete enough or it's just another thing that the butthurt will seize up as less than perfect.

We should place 1 hidden false information in the wiki to see if it enters the manual

Over 24 hours without a single post --- this thread has truly died... maybe the manual might change this.

 

[Fowyr]

Everyone are playing.
Throne of Skald Maestro is a huge level.

Stopped playing to restart with the 'massive new update', but it's been a month since the last update and the draft manual which was going to be out in early August is yet to emerge. Ah well, brings back fond memories of the 'going up soon on Steam Greenlight' few years with the gang in the old thread

And Vault-Co updates are back...

Spoiler

When I began blogging about just this in 2004, it was science fantasy and only a schizophrenic would imagine such things might soon be realities. Everybody knew that was just a staple of science fiction movies about the far-flung future.

Humanoid style robots taking the place of soldiers on the battlefield will be a reality in the next five years and likely will feature very big in World War III as a post-attack cleanup squad sent in to get the entrenched survivors in their shelters. If you are building a shelter in the near future, make security a priority and design your fortifications to stop machines as well as people.

A big strategy for population control is to make women nearly unbearable snowflakes as adults at the same time you make their market value close to zero. As these robots become more lifelike women will pale in contrast and they may soon find that males begin to ignore them as a sort of second-rate excuse for a proper android female. Women may discover that robots are better at making men feel good than they ever could not only sexually but general happiness with their companionship compared to that of flesh'n'blood females. As the robots improve at sex, women may even find they have no value to pornographers at all. The same white knights indulging the spoiled modern woman in her misogyny at present may lose all interest once these 'bots are ready to replace those females entirely. Men build and create things to replace stuff that doesn't work correctly now, girls ... one of the most amazing replacements they are working on is a way to replace women altogether. It is a sad fate for the daughters of Eve but most of them have not acted like God's children in a long, long time. I truly believe this stuff is Luciferian in origin and you have to admit, the Devil knows how to create temptation for the sons of Adam. The military applications feed tech advancement into the sexbot industry and vice versa. The market in both is astronomical in terms of potential profit.

Your army doesn't stand a chance unless you get rid of the meatheads and replace them with soldiers who are a hundred times more fit for purpose in every way.

Same , I want to restart after the update.

Is this game worth playing or is it just a joke?

Grimoire might not be the CRPG you want, but it's the CRPG you need.

The only thing that image lacks is a golden baby shinning in godrays

 

[Lady_Error]

Those playing the game are posting in the gameplay thread. This thread is for the general drama, of which there has been a shortage lately.

Looks like Baxander was in a manic state for a couple weeks after Grimoire release, now he is probably back in depressive:

[Kayerts]

For anyone genuinely worried about Baxander, it looks like he was on Steam last week and has just been playing other games. He seems to live in Kentucky (for non-US people: it's technically Southern, but it's also 600km+ inland), so he's unlikely to be affected by hurricanes. That said, missing glorious turtle art is almost as bad as having your house flooded, so hopefully he'll check back here soon.

 

[Baff]

Actually Irma will be dumping rain on Kentucky for the next 4 days or so. Bax is doomed.

 

[V_K]

Seeing how most people (everyone?) have Steam running in background on their PC

I always turn it off once I'm no longer playing. Hate all that resource-consuming pointless background software.

 

[V_K]

Why bother? It still runs everything non-AAA fine, and I haven't touched an AAA game since Skyrim.
But it's a matter of principle really - why would keep running something I don't need running?

 

[Bocian]

He's either dead or in a very dark place. Maybe we shouldn't have told him he's gay and shit, what if he can't take it.

Maybe he would like to earn his own thread in the Site Feedback.

 

[Achilles]

Still no manual?
