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 ...

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 with a new ...

I don't know what the heck happened with the double reply... this is clearly not my day.

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 is the ...

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

It's a great idea but being Finns we're not nearly as fluent and relaxed in front of the camera as the guys in the indie game movie

Heheh, the discussion is getting pretty intense in the media:

"Let the videogame equivalent of inbred aristocracies wither and fucking rot."

I'm glad I don't work on AAA games anymore

Sorry for the late reply. I got distracted by the Catalonian Sun :)

Cowsmanaut, Sophia: I am not against you, nor do I have a strong opinion about this. I was merely pointing out the reason why they are doing this. I think it's good to try to look at the situation from both sides. I think I stand ...

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.

Guys, if there's something you'd like to see in LoG2 I'm all ears.

I think this question is more about ethics that anything else. Are you really saying that a selfish act (stealing) is ok and understandable just because it is easy to do it?

Saying that a person who would like to pursue a creative career for living should forget it and be a doctor sounds really ...

Seth: we've been so busy at work so there has been no time to write a blog post lately. I think a dev update is due next week :)

Chiefy: we are doing big changes under the hood so LOG1 custom dungeons are likely not compatible with LOG2 straight out of the box. With some modifications it should be ...

chiefy: Actually quite a lot has changed :) If you have the game on Steam, you can simply publish your work in Steam Workshop using the Dungeon Editor (select Publish from the window menu). Currently there is 625 custom dungeons in the Steam Workshop. Alternatively there is Grimrock Nexus where you ...

Yeah, I know there's not much we could and should do about it. It's good that you let Mr. Bell know about the copyright infringement.

I was worried because it seemed that some folks did not understand the seriousness of this issue. I also wanted to emphasize that supporting these kind of people and ...

I've played Geimrock , and I've finished it , and these are my thoughts :
- great graphics and Lighting
- very bad ending , I really hate the metal graphics at the last level ..
- very short , I didn't complete any sort of magic when I finished it ..
- some ugly enemies ( the green Snails , the ...

I can't believe how lighthearted some of the posts here are about this.

Imagine you made a beautiful painting taking several years of your time. The painting is widely considered to be a masterpiece. Some years later someone steal your painting, smudges over it badly, removes your signature and ...

The Dungeon Editor has been released!

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.

The answer is... a resounding YES!

Thanks for the bug report! Fixed in the next patch.

The level editor/modding is currently on hold because we're working on the patch.

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 ...

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 ...

Heheh, thanks! Yeah, I know how you feel about Skyrim. I think I scored about 5 hours beforing giving up. The dungeons were semi ok, but otherwise the game didn't scratch in the itch in right places for me.

Yeah, the iOS interface needs some loving. We had an iOS prototype running in September but the game has changed quite a bit since then...

But anyways, I get your point and I understand that you don't like how the tooltips are implemented... I'll look if there's an easy way to add tooltip delays.

Tooltips in other games: WoW, Diablo, Torchlight... pretty much any PC RPG with inventory?
