Is it too late to get in the raffle for a copy?

 

[VortiNinja]

Nice! I was a neo-BeCleaver! I purchased the game and will try it out!

 

[PhantasmaNL]

Pending reception of backer key raffle is next week on Friday.

You think waiting for D:OS EE was hard?

I really don't play games at launch usually but with Grimwah I better not take any chances

 

[Jerker]

well fuck me sideways, he actually did it. I never thought I'd see the day. well, congrats sir, now I shall eat crow and buy your game.

 

[Ranselknulf]

Cleve really should make bug reports include OS and computer system specs.

These are steam sapiens after all. They might not realize that a bug report isn't helpful if you don't know what system they are running.

If it's really him, then he's laughably stupid. Valve permabans any developer that engages in review manipulation, they have a zero tolerance policy on this.

Maybe I should send this screen cap to Steam support, hmm.

 

[Themadcow]

Well, fuck the haters - I'm enjoying it. I'd imagine the Infinity Engine kids who pretend they liked RPGs before 1994 haven't got a clue what to make of it.

Anyone who ever read a single Cleve post knows this is a false flag ops.

It would be glorious if Cleve was permabanned after waiting 20 years for his game.

Those are fake keys my friend. Post is fake.

Woah, there is some serious pettiness going on in the thread.

Not enough for me to lose respect for individuals but still very surprising behaviour. Posting on cuckchan or alluding to piracy? This kind of behaviour only degrades yourself.

Still no tool tips on stats. Still no idea how to throw shit from my alt hand. The shitty glitch that happens with smooth turning is still there. And no manual.

I am a bit underwhelmed. Looks mainly like superdemo with more content and a few extra things patched in...

Alt weapons work.

How nigger ? How ?

I... don't know. I definitely had the bard throwing a bullet in the default party when I was just randomly testing things, but now I can't get it to happen again on purpose. It's there somewhere. Just turn smooth turning off.

Looks like it just happens. I can't find a way to force the secondary weapon to be used, but in some rounds some characters make an extra attack with their secondary weapon. When choosing the attack action you will sometimes be prompted to select a second target.

 

[Jerker]

and it crashed within minutes

fucking incline.

Usual grousing on RPGWatch: https://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37174

Long story short - a Neanderthal that believes he is genetically superior to humans, and lives in a nuclear bunker, has been making this game since 1994. He has promised on many occasions over the years that it was finished and about to be released, to the point of absurdity. It's a rather shoddy and severely buggy WIzardry clone, but a funny cult has grown up around it, and they consider the coming of Grimoire will be a seminal moment in human history - an event they refer to as The Incline.

The Incline.

What else they have left than doubling down at going full retardo?

"There is no game11111"
"It's only the superdemo1111"
"It is shit anyway LOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOL can't hear you".

Anything to dodge eating crows and sucking themselves off, can't blame them.

Few issues (Alt+TAB doesn't work, Windowed remains black) and no crashes so far, may I present to you, the first 4K Screenshots of Grimoire. (Fix the Steam Overlay, Cleve! Can't take Screenshots, neither with Steam nor FRAPS and gotta do it manually)

 

[mondblut]

Editing tags in the executable wasn't on top of the priority list, apparently. The superdemo exe size is 3.19 mb.

[Humanity has risen!]

The game works perfectly, stop being fags.

You all got OWNED.

 

[turbo elephant]

Yes 64 bit, the game won't install. Got it loading under Wine but it doesn't reach the main menu because of a MIDI related error.

I guess itś better to wait for Windows users "to iron out a few bugs" before putting a lot of time/effort into getting it to run on Linux.

Good news linuxfags - I've got it running in Wine with music and sound effects working. I'm not sure if you need a 32-bit prefix but I've done all the testing with one so might be a good point to start. Bear in mind all this is on Arch with Wine 2.13.

Set up a 32-bit prefix:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/win32 winecfg

Then use winetricks to install steam. I then used winetricks to install a few likely-looking dll packages, such as amstream, avifil32, dmsynth, etc. Basically anything non-directX that I thought Cleve might be using. The result - works fine. Let me know if you want me to post a complete list of dlls - it was overkill so I'm sure most are unnecessary. Prehaps Cleve could comment on which ones he used.

Yeah would be nice to know which dlls etc. you used.

 

[hackncrazy]

Gonna be really honest here. All jokes aside, from what I've seen on twitch streams, the game seems to be really good.

If there's a blobber that I really want to play, is this.

I really hope that Cleve get around the bugs and deliver a 100% finishable game.

How does Grimoire compare to Wiz7?
