Re: Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest

Thanks, Gambit! Almost Human is still alive but no new games are being developed at the moment (it's possible that AH returns some day with another game). Meanwhile Ctrl Alt Ninja is developing Druidstone. The ownership and structure of the two companies are different and it would not have been prac...

Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest

Hello! It's been a while (some of you may remember me from the days of DM2K and EFDM, and later Grimrock). Our new game, "Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest" has been in the works for some time and finally it's the time to properly announce it. We're again starting from nothing wi...

Re: [Greenlight] The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians

You're right. Apologies about that! For some reason when I read the thread last night I misread who was writing what. Now I see that it wasn't you who started talking about Juho in the first place (nor did you say anything). Anyway, to be clear: Juho and Almost Human are not demanding any credits in...

Hey, the next time you "quote" Juho please quote the full message. The way you are doing it is not cool and he does not deserve people speaking bad things about him behind his back. Below is the full message Juho posted on the Steam forums. Note that his comments are purely personal. As he...

Re: Can Ultima Underworld be made in the LoG editor?

In the LoG1 engine, grid size is hardcoded to 32x32. In LoG2 you can change the grid size per level.

There is also another side on the coin. The current situation is that GameStop et al make literally billions of dollars per year from secondhand sales and rentals without game developers getting a dime.

Oh, and dungeon files are pure lua so you can merge dungeons together by hand if you are careful. Absolute level indices should probably be avoided in scripts though.

Re: Legend of Grimrock

Well unless I missed it, there is no party leader (if you think about it, it is counter intuitive in DM where a person can have two filled hands and yet actives things from a third hand?) So throwing from the cursor has no reference of a strength. Indeed. The concept of party leader is a pretty str...

Re: Legend of Grimrock

The throwing velocity from the mouse is by design slower than ranged attacks so that the player wouldn't be able to spam ranged attacks with the mouse item. At 60 fps (DM run like 10 fps or less) you could achieve a pretty significant fire rate. About playtime: please note that the Time statistic in...
