Grimoire - Version 2 coming soon

[HiddenX]

Henriquejr spottet this announcement for Grimoire:

V2 Due Next Two Weeks, Turns Display Even Better!

I did quite a bit of work on the turns to make them a little more intelligent after doing buffer compares of views and found a way to make them a lot smoother than they were. They now more closely resemble the "swivels" in LANDS OF LORE except ours are a little more even. I had to get rid of the configuration for steps in turns in order to assure this happens at the right speed with the right perspective.

Version Two of Grimoire is really looking SPECTACULAR! The new regions are awesome and all integrated into the existing story! Working together with the new crafting system you have added dimensions to game play mechanics that did not even exist in the first version.

Inventory workshop needs a little more tweaking, one thing I was working on today was highlighting all possible merge candidates for an item when you click on the "MERGE" button to show you what you might be able to successfully merge given the current party member's vocation and skill levels.

Extensive trials of poisoned items tested in combat, forged items, sharpened blades and enchanted weapons. All of them degrade with use in combat until they wear off. The enchanted weapons lose their aura if you kill a monster with them. All of these play mechanics have been balanced in order to make the crafts useful but not exploits.

The wishlist had now climbed to a level that I am pretty confident will justify a $9.95 price discount when V2 comes out. After that the game will likely run a regular price of $19.95 including when it goes to GOG. If you purchase on Steam and Grimoire releases on GOG, you can be assured that your purchase on Steam will be transferred to allow you access on GOG as well - and you will have gotten it at half the price on GOG.

Someone needs a new pair of glasses. Me? Don't think so.

Probably because even after the initial fix, raytracing support in windows is still bugged.

Coming soon to a universal gaming box near you, eta 2041.

After 600 hours, I'll bet there's a long queue waiting for the enhanced replay version.

I'm obviously not expecting it in 2 weeks, but if he actually releases it, as well as the manual that he has been promising to finish next week for the last year, and drops the price down to 9.99, I might actually consider finally trying it out.

 

[Nephologist]

define "soon"

 

[LootSeeker]

itz coming!​

soon…but I have no doubt it will arrive.

 

[Pappy]

I'd like to play it- if it works, and has a manual.

 

[Dez]

So it is time for an other "grimoire" release soon thread.

 

[Carnifex]

That's just what we need, another thread that will lament a forthcoming project for the next twenty years. =p

 

[Drithius]

So, about that manual...

After V2 it will take another 12+ months for the patches to fix V2 bugs. Then the hype and wait for V3, which Cleve already announced, so no thanks. I'll wait for the V3 in 2020.
