I've been playing the poo poo out of this game for the past week and I'm loving every second of it. Been a while since I hit that bookmark button so quickly.

And y'all are doing the naming wrong. You gotta pick a theme.

Cow: Tauros LL Cow J
Insectoid: Beedril
Farmer: Snorlax

We need Dragon-type Pokemon to help us prepare our food before we cook it. We're not sure why!

We have a bull in a China shop;
An insectoid who has become its own enemy: a bug Zapper;
The human Chucks stuff, of course;
And finally, a rat right out of "The Secret of NIMH"

v I didn't sign up for an autocracy, but I will settle for a leader who appreciates my comedic styles.

E: This is also how I name my pokemon.

Cow: My vote would mean nothing at this point.

Who used the word vote? This is a dictatorship, I'm just going to choose the funniest name suggested. Which is probably going to be LL cow J anyway because it's a fantastic name even if it is a circle jerky in-joke.

At this point I'm pretty sure what I'm going to name the battle mage but I haven't seen any real stand out winners for the farmer or skaven yet. I'm going to record the new episode soon so that will be the last point I can make changes.

Also I love the portraits that have been shown.

He's going to throw us in a giant tower dungeon. Anyone who escapes is free to go, but there's a sentient machine-cube at the bottom that will kill anyone who gets that far.

So I was futzing around in the game files for this game trying to get the custom portraits to work so i could make the next episode when I came across a game manual and, get this, a customized legend of grimrock piece of graph paper.

I'm not going to link the entire manual because there are bits of it I want to save for later but here is a cool story from the introduction!

The file is a pdf and since I have no idea how to snip bits out of a pdf have a really lovely work around instead. Classy high quality lets playing right here.

I like how there is also a printer friendly version of the graph paper in the extras folder, even if I was too much of a baby to use map free (Note to self, get back to this game later).

EDIT: terrible penmanship or ability to draw a straight line even with a ruler is perfectly oldschool for me :downs:

Do you have any plans to make the videos listed later? I found it a lot easier to notice when you'd updated your Grimrock 1 thread when I was able to see the listed new videos appear on youtube.

Or have you decided youtube is even more evil than it was back then and to stick purely unlisted?

The video is unlisted because it's actually on my channel for reasons. Once Agent fixes whatever is causing him to not be able to upload to his own channel, I'm sure he'll list the videos properly.

Yep! I can't upload to youtube (at the time episode 1 was uploaded) so I sent it to Olesh to have him host it for me. If the problem doesn't get fixed you can just subscribe to his channel as he'll host the rest, or I'll fix it myself and the'll start showing up.

Either way we should have episode 2 by like, wednesday or something.

Episode 2 - Youtube

I really love some of the changes to the combat. There was some degree of enemy variation in Grimrock 1 but not nearly to the same amount. You can tell in the video that I'm not entirely used to it yet. Oh well. Lets take a look at some of the new enemies we've seen in this video.



I have nothing to add. I'm still laughing at how funny the mummy's attack animation is.



I am the Lorax, I do cartwheels and punch you in the face. This enemy is pretty cool since it's movement and attack pattern completely subverts how I'm used to dodging around things. It moves much much more quickly sideways than it does forward or backwards, though it's still not particularly dangerous.

I've watched parts of various playthroughs of this game. You've got a long ways to go, good luck to you both. There are some interesting firearms to be found, but I've never seen anyone actually use them, looking forward to seeing Rizzo become a master sniper.
