Grimoire Thread

Sigh, just when I'm looking away and actually doing some work this thing gets released!

From the looks of it, I think I'll just wait until the manual gets released. In the meantime, Cleve can do some bug-fixing.

Based on first impressions, is this either more or less stable than the superdemo?

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Sorry, it is almost midnight and I went three days without sleep getting every single missile in the game regression tested. First thing tomorrow will send them.

When I paid for this on IndieGogo, you sent an e-mail asking if I wanted a GOG version or Steam and I chose GOG. I don't mind waiting for this to be up on GOG.com, but I was wondering if you had an estimate for when the game would be available on that site.

Oh and congratulations on releasing the game!

 

[Whiny-Butthurt-Liberal]

Oh look, it's buggy to the point of being unplayable.

Remember all those times Cleve lied about polishing the game to superhuman perfection? Yeah, he was just trying to get it to run. For twenty five years. And failed in the end. Still a fraud and a liar!

 

[D!!]

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

Probably massive overkill, but I thought I'd try an avalanche to see whether it worked and then prune back. I've bolded the ones that seem most likely to have fixed the problem.

Missing half of this list in my PlayOnLinux "Components List", but one of those did the job. Thanks!

My wife is going to kill me if I buy it at this price.

Solution: sell wife

Why he even said thals are mentally retarded and he's a thal, so...

 

[Vagiel]

Anyone know what the search button on the map does? I assume to look for secret walls etc you search with each character so the search on the map I guess is for named places on the map?

I hope I don't get my backer key 20 years later!

Time to start placing bets on whether Drog will honour his words and smoke his own pole before someone manages to finish the game.

I recreated my Wizardry 7 party and threw in an extra wizard and cleric to fill out the excess slots.

Aren't you supposed to leave the extra slots open so you've got room for the fairies with ADD and mopey vampires who can join you later?

 

[Durandal]

Do you sapes even realize the sheer productivity and output necessary to create a game as cosmic in size as Grimoire within the span of twenty years at the hands of one single Neanderthal?
You're about to be witness to what this übermensch is capable of when relegated to microissues-fixing duty.

TLDR:
There are so many better games to play out there right now. This one isn't worth the time. The dev promised to deliver a well polished gem but this is a unpolished turd that is hardly different from the super demo he released years ago.

This guy's an idiot. Most of the interface issues he complains about anybody with three digits in their IQ would figure out in about 90 seconds. Can't exit the game, which means he hasn't even attempted to click on the main interface buttons to see what they do.

 

[Lacrymas]

Yeap, waiting for GOG as well, not going to infect my PC with Steam.

I dont even have to-

I'm getting it right now with zero wife aggro-

Its a changed world now that the incline has arrived.

 

[Black Angel]

You will get a Steam key and you will also get the game on GOG when it's available. No timetable, Cleve said he will release it on GOG after it is polished up based on all the bug reports/suggestions from the Steam release.

No. You can dismiss party members when taking new recruits, and dismissed party members can be recovered from the Shrine of the Raptor if you want them back again later on.

 

[pomenitul]

Many do not acknowledge it, but we've been played. Like Stéphane Mallarmé's absolute Book, Grimoire's promise was never meant to be fulfilled. Now that the troll opera has attained its narrative climax, the only way forward is down.

The decline has begun again. Who shall take up the mantle and rekindle the illusory flame?

 

[Namutree]

It released, at DAWN!!!!!!!

Seriously, it really was dawn at release here in Michigan.

 

[DarKPenguiN]

And I'm a proud owner of grimoire now =)

I'll see you guys in 600 hours.

(or i'll play in windowed mode and multitask the codex for the lulz)

Where is the secret? Scouting detected a secret, the spell did as well. But what is the secret?

 

[Nerevar]

Ugh. Brain is crashing I need to sleep and get supplies for the weekend to play this more.

Luckily I saved 4USD by purchasing the game on launch that is worth a few snacks.

 

[Nixheb]

I pray that Nixheb is able to play this bug free. I'm not sure there was anyone looking forward to the release as much as he was.

Well well well.... Been following the forces of incline gathering this week from a shitty iPhone 4 with a Edge connection... What a ride ! I took the opportunity yesterday to share the whole story with my 11yo son. He was baffled.
And when I told him it was released several hours ago, refreshing the other historical thread every three minutes under the "stop using your phone while being at the dining table with the whole family you geek !" glance from other saps, I saw a genuine excitement and astonishment in his eyes.

I'm proud of being part of this insignificant but major moment of crpg history.
I'm looking forward to play the game tomorrow when being back at home. Just hope to have my steam key in my mailbox !
Big hugs to all of my beloved inmates until then !

The "look" command makes a character search the tile you're standing on.

 

[bataille]

Also that rate of stamina consumption while walking drives me crazy.

 

[Bigg Boss]

It's all in the manual.
