What Grimrock Needs is a Save-Game Editor

[tecknomage]

What we really need is a Save Game Editor (like Basilisk Eschalon games have) that you use to edit save-game files.

That would be awesome! Can you make us one?

You most certainly have my vote here.

I would also love to see the ability to allow "less than" four characters to be able to traverse the dungeons, and possibly with a Permadeath option.

NOTE: I have Hex Workshop and have examined Girmrock's save-game files.

I have used this on other game-save files, but I could not find the locations for key entries for Grimrock.

On other games I can to a text search for an entry like "Armor" and find where the primary location is. Then it's just a matter of finding the current value location which should be close to the primary location. Once I have that, I can change the value, save, and Load the modified save-game and see it it worked. Note I use a save-game separate save-game file usually called "Edit" to do this.

Editing save games is basically cheating. Why would you want to cheat? It takes half the fun out of it!

Really? In single player? Cheating?? Nah...
