Grimoire

Is Cleve trolling everybody or will he actually release a finished product?

hope dies last they say

Honestly, these threads are not worth making for now. If he ever makes another release date and we get close to it or he finally uploads something to the steam servers, then we can get back on this delusional bandwagon.

I'd wager this time it'll be out by friday

Stop making threads you shilling assholes.

What other games have non-euclidian dice?

He's not releasing shit, ever. Stop making these threads

did anyone have a look at his website & other quality games yet? fucking kek

goldeneragames . com

is this even good?

dumb sapes will never understand

This game looks pretty AF
how much?

40$

Game has been "ready for release, save a few bugfixes" for a decade now. So enjoy waiting up.

oh
That´s 20$ more than the average indie
BUT may be worth if it´s more than 60 hours of the main quest or more

"In grimoire ___ ___ ____ _______"

>AF

what?

Degenerate leftist facebook lingo.

ass fuck

"This game looks pretty as fuck"

what did he mean by this?

Oh so how leet was in the 80's/90's

I don't think Grimoire will ever be a finished project. Though I do not believe it's all elaborate trolling. While Cleve's posts on RPGCodex, Steam and other places definitely look like trolling, I don't think anyone could keep up a single troll gambit for 23 consecutive years. The game, his forum posts, his blogs, etc. That's just too much work to be just a troll.

What I think, is that Cleve Blakemore is simply a delusional and narcissistic version of Tarn Adams. The guy is insane and I use "insane" deliberately, because this isn't just autism. I honestly believe that, whatever he has, it's much worse than that.

Where Tarn realizes that his Dwarf Fortress is ridiculously ambitious and that it will take a lifetime to complete, Cleve's deranged belief in his own infallibility leads him to claim again and again that he'll soon finish his game. Of course that belief turns out to be false every single time, but he's too insane to realize that. To protect that belief he will never be ready release the game, because it will never match his 'perfect' vision.

And where Tarn's modesty and kindness causes him to give away his life's work for free, because even though it's highly acclaimed and many people would gladly pay for it (I've personally paid a fairly generous sum for it over the years in the form of donations) it's not about the money for him. He enjoys making the game, and he doesn't want to charge money for a game that at best will take decades to be completed. But Cleve, completely full of himself and his own genetic superiority, has openly said that his game is worth hundreds of dollars, and that the $40 price tag is just a compromise.

For Tarn, Dwarf Fortress is about fun. Both the fun he has making it and the fun the community has playing it. For Cleve, Grimoire is about proving a point. It's about showing how much better he is at making games than everyone else, and it's the community's job to be grateful for this gift he is bestowing upon them.

Shut the fuck up you dumb sape.

Cleve is working hard on this game and tiny brained losers like you are trying to make him look bad

go back to drawing on walls with berries or something.

I think that's partly right but why would Clive go through all the trouble of drumming up interest only to not release anything after so long?

Why even put the game on steam if he really has no intention of ever releasing it?

...

Dont cone here complaining about it, hide the thread and let us circlejerk alone

>why would Clive go through all the trouble of drumming up interest only to not release anything after so long?
Because that's what he does just about every year since goddamn 1997. Steam just helps him reach a bigger audience this time, which is why Sup Forums is suddenly aware that he exists.

Seriously, there are posts of him going back to October 1997 saying that the game is ready for release, but he just needs to fix some minor bugs. The exact same excuse he has used for every single missed release date. He's a narcissist, he craves the attention more than anything. He doesn't give a rat's ass about how people react when he disappoints them, because he knows full well that people will still pay attention the next time he does it, partially because they're curious about what'll happen this time and partially because there will always be new rubes that get pulled into his roadshow.

that's just your character's art m8

> Leet
> Not L337

...

Would you?

Today is the first day when Cleve haven't posted a single thing on Steam discussions, right? Did he post anything on RPG Codex? Anyhow he's just editing store tags, nothing else. Not a single game related byte has been uploaded to store.

I have faith!
we live in MYSTERIOUS AND STRANGE TIMES, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!?

Stop telling people about the Codex you fucking gaylord.

>muh secret club

kek

...

No one here wants the game to release, let alone be good

We're just watching the shitshow

I hope you can put your own custom portaits in this game, some are really horrible, the old ones looked better

Nope, though Cleve has mentioned he might add that possibility after launch.

But that's irrelevant because the game is never coming out anyway.

...

Cleve is the Andy Kaufman of game devs

More like Cleve is a character played by the Andy Kaufman of video games.

More like we don't need 13 year olds on the codex.

>implying you don't

I actually want to play this game. It looks very unique from what releases nowadays and i would love to try it out. Im not joking im dead serious. If he releases it within the month i will buy a copy and maybe even one for a friend. I want to ride on turtles and solve puzzles while fighting ancient and unique beast, i want to craft reagents and auras then plow through bosses using wit and cunning, i believe in cleve to make this game a master piece, a master stroke, the wall of his cave.

Listen you fucking bitch. It does not matter that the game is probably shit, or it's unrelevant or that these threads have no purpose.

The fact that perhaps only two spergs from this website are actually going to play it more than 5 minutes.

The thing that matters is that I CANT PLAY THIS FUCKING GAME IF I WANT TO AND ITS MAKING ME INSANE I'm gonna pirate and play 5 minutes

Please don't compare Cleve to our lord and saviour The Toady One.

i'm going to at least pirate it

8 hours ago, he posted:
>You can call me crazy, hurl all kinds of abuse at me, psychoanalyze me or who knows what else kind of insanity - two things will get you permabanned for life on this forum:
>
>1. Advocating piracy of this or any other game on the Steam store
>2. Claiming that Grimoire is stolen source code from Sir-Tech (an absurd claim, utterly nuts)

>implying you wouldn't

He banned me and I didn't do any of those. I said that Cleve, you should get a medication for your compulsive lying. I also called him a scammer.

will you make it past the first town?

...

I went through all the maps on 2013 demo video and none of them seems to be direct ripoffs from the leaked Arnhem map designs. But who knows, there's so much of stuff and we will never see them in real game...

The game has already been released, but you need a quantum computer and a special download client in order to get it. Sorry, folks, but your peon computers (PCs for short) cannot hope to run a game so expansive and intricate as this one. It's a 1:1 simulation of life itself. You NEED hyper-advanced hardware (HAHs) in order to run it.

that looks vaguely like the hall of the dead from VI

Can i run it on TempleOS ?

It runs only if God speaks to you directly.

wait did dungeon crawlers back then have nudity at all?

even in the old wizardry games the only thing you'd see is naked sirens that wanted to eat you?

5 minutes won't even be enough to roll stats

Sphinxes, Harpies, Medusas, Dryads, Faeries, Driders to name a few

oh looks like the topics have been nuked,maybe clive actually DID release something

Nah.

Might and Magic 6-8 had some decoration that would make SJW heads explode.

Daggerfall had it.

You know it's kinda funny comparing this game to the cave art of the Neanderthals. Cleve says that the fact that they redid strokes hundreds of times was for perfection but in reality it was probably just a ritualistic reapplication to prevent it from fading away. They weren't obsessed with perfection, they were just lazy and didn't want to lose what they already had. A lot like Cleve hyping up his game all the time, it's not the perfection he claims it as, it's just the same shit every year

The story of Grimoire is similar to that of Duke Nukem Forever. Broussard was obsessed with perfectionism, just like Cleve. The final product proved to be poor.

Duke nukem forever actually exists.

>Degenerate leftist facebook lingo.

You're a young memer who wears a frog t-shirt in public.

Can I get a quick rundown?

Dumb sapes are doubting the work of a true thal

wanna know something? noone gives a flying fuck

Yes, but only because 3D Realms later went bankrupt, and Gearbox bought the rights and continued the project.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Duke_Nukem_Forever

Doubters will be silenced.

9/11/17

>game that was never released in 1998

>cue almost 20+ years of dev saying it's almost ready

>set's up steam page saying it was coming out on the 7/7/2016----->FOUR DAYS LATE

What happens on 9/11 ?

NO CLEVE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

Cleve posted on the Codex earlier that he is adding in new features, so... yeah it's never coming out.

you can ride turtles?

So are you saying that Cleve will go bankrupt and someone else will claim his mantle?

No, because Cleve is an independent developer. He has nothing to lose.

If he doesn't release his game soon it's more likely that someone will claim his head.

And that's where you're wrong. He built a bunker in a location unknown to us. Find him :).

If I were local living in Melbourne I'd go and find him and kick his ass. If works he has a real address. And if he's on linkedin it should be straightforward to find his real address. Or via indiegogo or something.

This is his blog:
feedreader.com/observe/vault-co.blogspot.com/ view

This happens with some devs

It's why publishers are sometimes a good thing; they force them to release it with what they have. Freelancer and that other overly ambitious dev comes to mind.

...

Cleve's bunker.

LMAO

Good find! So it was an empty septic tank after all :)

>staff of pwnage

somebody played too much .hack

The important thing is that it is radiation-resistant.

This is handy checklist as people have had 20 years to recognize his pattern of action. You should save this and post it on steam.

bump

[heavy breathing intensives]

is that a puppet?

& yeah I'm actually going to buy it assuming it does release

It's finished guys. Really!

>couple of days

didn't he say the same thing after the indiegogo failed?

He always says that. That's just how it works. "Micro-issues".

Fuck off, shill.

>that female eye-stalk

how do they procreate with just 1 giant eye?
