At least I'm sure we'll get Shaker before anybody will get Grimoire ;)
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on June 5
I don't know, Cleve. They probably figured out a way to keep your dollar.
Creator Daniel on June 3
Your card isn't actually charged until the project is over. Since you never paid they don't give you money back.
Creator Cleveland Mark Blakemore on May 16
Wait - did I get my dollar back yet?
Creator Ahoy on May 11
@Riggo that's a yes, grow the fuck up :) The dude spent countless years making something that is in all honesty, not worth all those years .. to most people. Here you are, not even a programmer, (probably some fat horny old gamer dude as your bio suggests, my bio suggests that I'm fucking crazy and believe me, I am) complaining about HIS work. Lets just say you were a fucking game programming GOD would it hurt you to be tolerant of him? Let it go, is all I'm saying. Have a manatee on me. go to calmingmanatee dot com. love you Brenda B, I want to have your kids except someone got there first. kidding!
Creator Matthew Hinz on May 8
Damn it. This game needs to happen. I learned how to play RPG's by installing Wizardry 7 and playing it. No manual, no internet, just trial and error. I spent so much time learning and playing that game my party began to die of old age(I uncovered the entire map by walking it, including swimming the oceans). How many RPG's are so huge and complex that the developers include dying form old age because they know it very well could take you more than one generation in-game to complete it? This project gave me hope. Sadly, I may never enjoy a game as much as I did W7 ever again as no one seems to want to make games that in-depth anymore. And the Wizardry license is owned by Aeria who keeps crapping out terrible games with the once venerable Wizardry name tattooed on. I wish every day that someone will make another game with the scope and content of the old Wizardry games of yesteryear, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

The final tale of the tape between Cleve and the 9 yr old on KS:
And now for the battle royale:
Grimoire totals:
Days: 180
Backers: 273
Pledged: $17,403
Backers per day: 1.5
Pledges per day: $96.68
9 yr Old girl:
Days: 30
Backers: 1,442
Pledged: $24,534
Backers per day: 48
Pledges per day: $817.80
This looks like a clear TKO for the 9 Yr old, but when one pulls back a layer of the onion and looks at the 9 yr Old campaign once the questions about the mother came out, The numbers aren't quite as convincing.
9 Yr Old post people figuring out what a fraud the campaign was:
Days: 27
Backers: 292
Pledged: $2,927
Backers per day: 10.8
Pledges per day: $108.40
Looking at the data from that perspective backs up the "There's a sucker born every minute" phrase. It looks like a 17 year old piece of vaporware and a scam run by a 9 year old's mother on kickstarter can generate $100 a day regardless of how many people attempt to warn off the "suckers".
I'll give Cleve a break and call it a draw. :-D
The individual Grimoire statistics for each campaign are listed below.

Grimoire stats
Campaign 1:
Days: 120
Backers: 159

Campaign 2:
Days: 60

I'd still like to see them come back and do it. There hasn't been a similar project proposed for Kickstarter.
Creator Daniel on April 12
This kickstarter is so much better than so many that DID get funded. It's rather sad.
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on April 2
Heh, Riggo and his $10k pledge. LOL LOL TROLL LOL.

OK... Sadly, I must give Cleve a little bit of credit here.
Brenda is a huge backer of this project:

Which smells SO MUCH of scam, that I would probably put it in the Grimoire camp for wasted money. :-)
Creator WinterBlaze on March 27
250k would of been a great budget for this type of game, Loot drop shouldnt of been so greedy.

Holy crap! Came back here to say that this would've made a good game if two people hadn't decided to get married. But to my delight uh detest there's still some drama going on here! Grow up kiddos! :)
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on March 12
I've got a pretty rocking computer, so I can only contribute the software failure to one man.
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on March 7
@Corpselocker... I am impressed you took it one step farther than I... Installing it had not crossed my mind yet!
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on March 7
Well, I bit the bullet and downloaded Cleve's demo. It crashed twice before I even got to game play.
Cleve, will you need another additional 17 years to get rid of initial crashing bugs? Will you be eating your crow feet first?
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on March 6
@Corpselocker... Considering his ability to deliver, I would think his "Fan" would think Grimoire was the epitome of Torment, so that should have been a natural choice.
Creator Katrar (∞) on March 6
If Cleve ran a KS or Indiegogo under the pretense that he'd be paid to go away, it would probably catch fire.
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on March 6
Cleve should have renamed his project Torment. It seems they pulled in over $500,000 in the first few hours of Kickstarting...
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on March 5
@Corpselocker... I am feeling bad. We should probably take it easy on Cleve. After all, his 2nd Indiegogo campaign is tearing it up. He is averaging 2.5 backers a day!!! That is almost 2x the performance of his first 4 month campaign!!!
I did notice that the cost of POLISHING dropped from $250K to $25K between the two campaigns. Must have been a typo on the 1st one. ;-)
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on March 4
Yes, I don't believe I'll be eating crow feet first. I don't think Cleve was providing very good advice. His advice and his ability to product a final product seem to be corrolated in some fashion...
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on March 1
Actually Cleve, instead of following your advice, I will stick with what has helped thousands of species, that eat their food whole, survive for millions of years. I will eat my crow head first. Thank you very much! For being an original caveman and the most brilliant person on the planet, some times you seem to lack the intelligence of an amoeba.
Are you sure the Mayan apocalypse didn't claim the real Cleve and you are his short bus riding imposter?
Creator Cleveland Mark Blakemore on February 26
It will be easier for you all to swallow the crow if you eat it starting feet first.
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on February 19
*twiddles thumbs*
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 18
Hmmm... No new campaign so far... Maybe Indiegogo decided that Cleve could not run another 1 year campaign to raise $5...
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 12
Oh wait... The demo was promised 15 years ago... Never mind that last statement.
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 12
Oh, and by the way, he is on the verge of delivering a demo as well!!!
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 12
The impressive Indiegogo Grimoire campaign has come to a close (the 1st one anyway). For the curious, Cleve's campaign delivered an impressive 159 backers and $10,598 in ONLY 120 days!!!!!
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 9
@Corpselocker... That is a good question.... Hmm.... Blackholeware? May need to discuss that with Stephen Hawking....
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on February 8
Oh man, Cleve... you promised to release regardless of the Indiegogo campaign. You also promised a Kickstarted campaign. *sigh*
Is there a term with less likelihood of occuring than "vaporware"?
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 7
Cleve... Don't feel bad because Brenda and Tom managed to attract nearly 500 backers a day, you have perseverance on your side!!!! Just think how many backers Shaker would have had if they could do a 240 day campaign!!!!
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 7
Ooppps... Typo there... Meant to say if he could convince them he was NOT wasting floorspace.
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 7
The amazing thing with Cleve's 1st indiegogo run is that he is averaging over 1 BACKER A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not kidding here... 140 backers in 116 days!!!!!!!!!!!! If he can convince indiegogo that he is wasting floorspace, adding an additional 120 days may get him up to a total of close to 300 backers in just 240 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cleve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on February 5
In case anyone has missed the major announcement, Cleve is going to run ANOTHER 120 indiegogo campaign to try and raise another 8k of his funding goal!!!! At his current rate, it will only take him 30, 120 day projects to hit his 250k goal!!!!!!!

Where is the kickstarter campaign by the way? The one that you promised the indieagogo backers that would not occur?
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on January 21
Cleve... Just glad to see your indieagogo campaign is still rocking it!!!!! You might hit 8k in 120 days!!!!!! An amazing campaign!!!!!!
Creator Cleveland Mark Blakemore on January 17
Soon I will be the winnarz of internetz when teh demo is released. When you win at internetz it truly proves you are a winnarz.
Then I will give a two hour presentation featuring me sitting inside a HumVee talking about my record as a winnarz and issuing various character references choked out of questionable characters I know and we will all give each other referrals in a gigantic circle of mutual admiration and winnarz skillz. This all involves quite a bit of time building your references as a winnarz and hopefully I may even have some time left over to work on teh computer gamez at some point.
Thank you all for believing in my socially engineered credentialz.
Creator Corpselocker- The Manager of Corpses on January 16
Yes, I checked at his Indiegogo project a few days ago and the updates were quite strange for this late (17 yrs) in the process.
Lots (well the few that signed up) of upset people over there over his missed deadline.
Creator Riggo - Armikrog. Army "Seize the Clay" on January 14
@corpselocker.. Indeed they do! The good news is that Cleve seems to be upholding his ways with the Grimoire. He has not updated in almost a month on Indiegogo, and is over 1 month late with his beta. At least Cleve is consistent in his non-delivery!!! 17 years and he is still holding to his delivery schedule. :-)
