Should we put him on suicide watch... bet he'll pop himself before he could release 'the ultimate' version or well... have flooded offices or some shit that happens in the industry with over-promised games. Troll Dad

"If you get this close a couple days is not a big deal, compared to 23 years of working on it."

I was going to say exactly this, this is his problem and he doesn't even realize it. More work on a game means additional more work to fix issues that comes up with the new things that you added, so you will continue forever.

A game is never finished. I doubt ANY game developer feels "wow, we really finished this game, i'm 100% happy and it feels final." Most likely they feel like they've released a half-assed product (because they had so much more in mind than what it eventually became), but they're happy if people buy it and if the publisher is ok with the product. This guy is his own publisher and he doesn't have deadlines, he does have people complaining but he seems to enjoy that quite a bit because then he can argue about how great his game will be and how wrong they are. Repeat for X years until he dies of old age Laughing

The magnus opus of a master p̶e̶r̶f̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶i̶s̶t procrastinator, add to that the ridiculous egomaniacal personality and epic internet clashes dispensed throughout all these years, and even if it's all hot air, it was well worth it for the amusing comedic value alone. I still remember when I first heard of it, I was in middle school...Waiting for Godot: the video game Very Happy Laughing

Wow this Cleve person sounds like a really successful person and very sure of himself, I am very impressed. His game is obviously extremely good and created for people with good taste, not the usual raffle. His game will speak for itself.

No but seriously, I hope this mongoloid basement-dweller gets a spotlight shined on him, the lulz are worth his potential suicide.

His post from last week. Laughing Laughing http://steamcommunity.com/games/650670/announcements/detail/1431434136007141225

Grimoire Opening Discount of 10%
July 24 - GOLDEN ERA GAMES
I have decided it is just a nice thing to do for people who have been waiting years to play my game if I offered a 10% discount on the game during it's first week. After this ends, I want to assure anyone waiting for the game that Grimoire will never, ever sell at a discount at any time it is on the Steam store ever again. I won't permit it to be sold below it's retail value for any reason. I am too proud of my finished product to permit it to be turned into simply another commodity in a Steam sale. If Valve ever decides that sales of the product no longer justify it having a page then I will move it to another venue - but as the author I will never offer my game at a discount again anywhere. I'm not a corporation that turns out games like sausages and computes their price curves over rates of decay in market value. Grimoire is my unique and proprietary product and I only want to sell it to the most hardcore fans of the genre. I was never targeting the mass market or casual gamers. It is in the first paragraph of the original design document I wrote more than 20 years ago when I was putting a proposal together that described the entire game end-to-end in both story, design and implementation. It was an aristocrat's manifesto when it was written and the language was specifically that of an aristocrat declaring the game was not going to be designed to appeal to the masses. Only fans of the genre.

I read a lot of his mad ramblings over the last decade and trust me that's bullshit he's definitely a in a league of his own, the tame marketing bullshit of those 2 clowns doesn't come close in any way to Cleve's gigantic lunacy. He's so goddamn nutty that Sir-tech had a parody of his in Jagged Alliance 2.

I get the impression that he's quite aware how he comes off, but if there isn't a lot of trolling going on with his ramblings then he's certainly a pretty scary individual.
