Re: Monsters Can Attack diagonally

Oh God...

This just gave me horrible nightmares of Ultima 3...
The last game I can remember where monsters could attack you diagonally but you could only aim in the 4 cardinal directions...

But yeah Diagonal attacking wouldn't work at all in a "Grid" based game like this.

@The Grimrock Dev team:

First, GREAT JOB on bringing a true classic CRPG into the modern era! I do have a question, that isn't directly game related: Have you guys considered contacting Jeff Vogel (Spidweb) and seeing what you guys could do, for a series of RPG's, with the tech engine and classic Dungeon delving of your pr...

Re: I believe this game will reenergize the Genre

Jeff Vogel is the only person who has been making true classic CRPG's to that point, and all of has has been topdown in the Ultima 5/7 format. I'd REALLY love to see what games could come out of a marriage of the Grimrock and Spiderweb groups... I'd like an old 6 player party based RPG in the same v...

Re: Just 10 minutes playing, enjoying it more than Skyrim

It´s the feeling we had when playing games about 20 years ago, that´s what the heart of gaming is, thx for this masterpiece, worth every penny, cent, whatever and even more That´s a Game though Very true. The feeling actually brings back the EOB1/DM feeling, instead of the EOB2 feeling, since the E...

Re: Attack with key press

I didn't like "attack all". Just made the game too simplified (Not like EOB3 was even a good game in the first place...it wasn't made by Westwood), although I guess the option is still there for people who want it. But being able to attack with F1-F8 (2 weapon slots per player) would be a ...

Re: Whats you favourite grid based Dungeon Crawler

Definitely the ORIGINAL Bard's Tale. Was much more D&D and sinister like than the BT2 sequel; it just felt downright evil with all the undead and other apparitions that got thrown at you, as well as the puzzles and traps. Too bad that the game simply snowballed into being too easy, if you went a...

Re: Hardcore mode and difficulty levels

Yeah there's nothing you can do about the choice of backing up or deleting the save file, besides the draconian method of encrypting the save in the registry or something (I think an old RPG actually did this...Diablo 1? I can't remember...too long ago), but that is really unnecessary. Perhaps the b...

Re: Random Map Generator

When I first saw this topic, I IMMEDIATELY thought of the game "Dungeon Hack," but I didn't remember the NAME of the game at the time. I did play it way way back between 1998 to 2002 or something. I remember that this game used the EOB3 (Eye of the Beholder 3) engine, including the horribl...
