Give him thirty pieces of silver and it's yours.

I'd be much happier if GOG haven't refused The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians. Instead they want this game. TFotDG at least works and is not made by madman.

I think he was already -tardated. It just blossoming into more forms.

For several patches now, I am not sure if he has been able to patch the game without screwing up saves, and he still has not figured out how to get the steam patch to work. For a game with the quoted number of hours, you want the dev to not mess up saves.

Definitely. And it's apparently been a major complaint of the game on Steam. Notes to his latest patch state that he's revised the way files are stored are accessed, which will (in future) mean no more breaking saves. That won't deal with the complaints about lack of higher resolutions, no manual, many bugs and unimplemented features (such as a profession, Metalsmith, that can't current smith), but it's something.

Grimoire is a bad game.

No one still plays it? No be honest. No seriously. Stop lying.
It was typical five minute glory game than thrown away unlike say wizardry

You just said you don't know if it is good game or not yet you declare it isn't?
Its just the typical 600lb uk sjw huggers crying about the game because the dev didn't make all 500 genders playable.

Did you see the post he wrote (and then took down) where he said he took in savegames, put them on his development machine, and those savegames supposedly corrupted his files so badly that his program could no longer write files? This guy.

I mean, this isn't even speaking to his inability to write code - this is just an amazing example of failure to successfully think, at all. If what he wrote is true, it's even worse than if he's just lying and scraping for excuses. All the years of Grimoire being not the game itself, but the game about the game, have not adequately prepared me for this spectacle. Schadenfreude overload.

oh shit

Nailed it. I suspect Cleve simply let Grimoire sit in mothballs for almost 20 years--as you say, it was the game about the game. That would explain why it's still so buggy, as well as why it can't adapt to higher resolutions which became generally popular in more recent years. I suspect he never reached the point of realizing he was going to have to actually support the product for people who purchased the game when it finally was released. That they weren't simply going to fall over themselves and proclaim him their idol. Cleve's funny like that. It's always all about him.

For sure, before the trolls finish metastasizing to his brain.

Oh my goodness! Cleve said it wasn't the pirates. It was his own bugs. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

This.

SirTech was still alive and well when Cleve went public the first time with Grimoire in the late 90s. (I've still got my preview code, late beta--which I'm pretty sure is what he's selling on Steam.) And he didn't base it on their last title, Wizardry 8, which was still to come, but upon the look and feel of Wizardry 6 and 7. He worked for SirTech for a while, but must have satisfied the company that his code was his own, even though the the game in all other respects appears to be and plays like a Wizardry game. (SirTech did get into a lawsuit, but it wasn't with Cleve. I'm pretty sure it was with David Bradley.)

It has so many bugs no one is lets playing it like The Weary Adventurer
Who acted like half you dims before he played it.. odd

Ah i see. Thanks for enlightening me
