I don't know how the game is (never heard of it), but the narration in that YT vid was certainly hilarious. This seems like a parody to me.

Unfortunately it isn't. Cleveland Mark Blakemore is well known for his insanity all over the internet. Some ex-sirtech developers posted on RPG Codex about his employment, he was known as the crazy narcissistic american.
Apparently the parody of him in Jagged Alliance 2 is an accurate portrayal... |

I remembered this game when Inquisitor finally came out. (10 years in development vs 17 years)
The market for this will be pretty small i guess.

This is a noble goal.

Hmm now to find my DOS 7.1 disk, I think I may had misplaced it in 1997.
Will my 690 be able to play this, with its amazing 1024x768 graphics??

As long as he manages to keep the Wizardry VII vibe, I'd tolerate even cga-only 320x240 graphics. Provided the full game doesn't take two other decades to come out, that is.

Now maybe there's a slight chance he may release the damn thing before 2030.
Maybe.

The longer game in development and better it is. Fact. Just look at new Duke Nukem.

True then a game skips being next-gen. Instantly becomes oldschool and classic!  |

asking for money to support that game seems to be a next-gen scam.
instead of asking for $35 they should consider a micro-payments.
i used to love old fashioned dungeon-rp games like EoTB, Ishar, DM, but today? naaaaaaaaa - even 600+ of gameplay wont help.

playing something like this today is the equivalent of torture imo each to his own i guess. |
Ultima Underworld was a pretty interesting breakthrough, slow though due to it's advanced engine and the computer hardware back then, if I read correctly John Carmack was impressed by the tech and made Wolfenstein 3D while also trying to create a faster but similar engine although the results when compared shows it's pretty simplified although it is also far faster.
UU had full 3D with floor and ceiling for example along with detailed textures, sequel took it even further improving the visuals even further plus more voice acting and more cutscenes.
Quite a step up from games like Wizardry, Might and Magic or Ultima.
Also quite a good game for it's time despite the hardware requirements, I was just a kid though so I don't remember it too well beyond what I've read up on now all these years after it's release.
Shame what happened to the Ultima franchise after VII with EA taking a larger role and eventually just focusing on the MMO though it was quite a hit for it's time too.
(No offense to Richard G. but I don't see Shroud of the Avatar being able to succeed Ultima, for all sorts of reasons.)
EDIT: Ah so this is taking things back to Eye of the Beholder, will be interesting to see how that fares, living up to Westwood won't be easy. (Lands of Lore 1, Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2) or some of the other big-name dungeon romps of the 1990's 
Double-digit MB sized HDD's and SVGA graphics with a whooping 2 MB of RAM or how it was, computer tech developed at a rapid pace and well it kinda still does I suppose. 
(Even if there's some tech hurdles and these shrinks probably have a limit somewhere.)

Technology isn't everything though.
UU was a masterpiece for sure, but I have great love in my heart for games like Dungeon Master, Black Crypt, Eye of the Beholder 2 and Stonekeep.
Grimrock proved these games can still work - as did Might and Magic X.
That said, Grimoire looks like ass and has a retard developer, so...

Yeah, I really don't mind some vintage-ness in certain types of games either (on the contrary, I find it charming), but this one..looks like a bad parody, made by someone who's stuck in the 90s and is desperately trying to mimic 2017's internet slang: a free dispenser of cringe.

Grid Based dungeon crawl is probably my favourite genre etc, I love them. like to see GenY'er clock EOB 2 without walkthroughs. Stonekeep as well fuck yes i loved that game, it got so much criticism, from memory made a loss and as a production was a complete failure. I'm hoping Bards Tale 4 is good but man i would love a Stonekeep sequel (in same old style no fps or whatever the fuck they would do it now).
Also Grimoire is looking pretty decent.

Just goes to show you what 20 years of concerted effort by the neanderthal master race can achieve.

bit of a nitpick, after 20 years development surely you would fix that weird animation when you turn?
