Wow, this guy sure is something.
Reading those update notes I refuse to believe this guy hasn't just been playing one long troll joke on the internet for years. There's no one anyone can unironically talk like that, it's just not possible.
It will never go on saleI watched some streams. If I was interested in blobbers, I'd probably buy it. The attention to detail is crazy. I might end up getting it on a sale.
It will never go on sale
This is low, in my opinion.
How petty can people be?
The games this guy releases have less than stellar reviews. This is low, in my opinion. It's one thing not liking another dev, wishing them ill is another.
Makes them no better than him. Also, that guy. The games he has released seem less than stellar.Well, he's a virulent racist and stuff so wishing him ill is understandable.

I'm not defending him. He's a lunatic.Ucchedavāda;245523903 said:You would put being petty on the same level being a conspiracy peddling virulent racist and bigot? That is quite the stretch.
Nevermind that you are defending the same Cleve that previously pledged $1 to a Kickstarter campaign, so that he could use the comment section to attack and mock the developers, gloat when they failed, and advertise for Grimoire while he was at it.
If you're going to accuse somebody of being a scammer that has released "scamware", something you failed to mention in your initial post, then please back it up with more than hearsay. Please show the receipt.I'm not defending him. He's a lunatic.
I was informed that this IndieDerekD guy releases scamware and they have sold well. His latest game didn't do so well because he set a high price. Greed and all that.
If a game is good, I don't wish for that game to sell like shit. I also won't react if someone that has actually released something good and is not a scammer comes out and speaks against Cleve.

And his latest games are sold for $5 and $2, so I am not sure where the accusation of greed comes from.
Untreated mental illness is difficult to watch, even at a distance.
I am curious about this game but I'm not about to rush out and buy it after seeing crap like this...
One of the most infamous

Is it really "one of the most infamous"? I'd never even heard of it until it released...
It is pretty sad that the only reason this thread is at 4 pages is because people want to discuss the developer's beliefs rather than the game itself.

That being said, there are some bugs: I have encountered several crashes to desktop (due to the same bugged item). The text can be hard to read because of the weird font and background textures. And more importantly, the game has no tutorial or manual, so that it is completely and truly obscure for people who have never played such a game before.
The game looks great, and is right up my alley. It's a shame he never plans to have sales, because the price point is a bit high for me.
That's certainly fair. I haven't encountered any crashes, but there have been a few other issues. And based on reading through the Codex thread, people are encountering bugs.
As for the manual, I believe it's supposed to be released on Monday, but I'm not sure I'd take that bet. I've seen some good posts though when it comes to explaining some of the basics such as attribute descriptions and some starting party tips.
Dude is out of his mind expecting 36 dollars for this game.
But then again my keyboard has a few WWE stickers on it so I shouldn't be playing it anyway
I wouldn't put much stock in that "no sales ever" thing. Wishlist it and wait, I'm sure it will go on sale once the early adopter pool is drained.

Check out Steam reviews and see for yourself. If that's not your thing, look up YouTube videos and have a laugh or two.
But this thread isn't about those games. This thread is about Grimoire. A game that seesm to be good. Lunatic developer or not.
This game seems more than a little inspired by Wizardy 7... which I think this guy actually did some work on Wizardy so maybe that's why?
Devs mental state aside, should I spend 40 bucks CAD on this game, or I'm better off with 10 for Wizardy 7 from Gog? I finally finished all the dlc in Dark Souls 3 and I've got a craving for something old school.
Whatever you say, man. His games are mostly broken messes. Even positive reviews excuse the problems the games have.Ucchedavāda;245549358 said:I read the reviews for all of that developer's games, and I found nothing indicating that they were releasing "scamware", or that they were otherwise a "scammer", as you've claimed. The worst I found is that most of their games do not seem to be very good, which is nowhere near as serious an allegation. Not even the price of their games showed signs of the greed that you accused them of.
So what exactly is your beef with this Derek D? He was only introduced to this thread because you posted a screenshot of one of his posts, and then went ahead and accused him of being being a "scammer" who has released "scamware", as well as greedy, without presenting any evidence to that effect. It honestly sounds like you're just repeating hearsay.

I had the same question, and I made my mind after looking at the screenshots.
His beliefs and the nature of the games developments are the man bites dog of this story. If that weren't the case I imagine there'd be more people on this forum trying the game out and this thread would have gone more in the direction of something like Legend of Grimrock.
This must be bait right?Wow, this guy sure is something.

At the moment there is no auto-update feature for this so to get a new version you need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

The current version is 1.2.0.7. Inventory accelerator buttons have been added to help with inventory management.
How can you not have any auto-update at all ?
