She didnāt really disappear suddenly. A couple of years ago she said she doesnāt even play the game anymore so she has no interest in working on GI apart from some small fixes here and there. So her departure from the forums didnāt really come as a surprise.
She always said there will never be an open source release because that could potentially enable GI to run on pirated game versions.
Iām aware that she said she wasnāt playing the game much anymore. However, given her commitment to continue to update the tool even when she wasnāt I just canāt believe she would just drop it without telling everyone that ??? would be the last update (something she did do a few years ago when she planned to stop supporting it) or making some sort of arrangement to pass it on to either someone else or to Crate.
This was too sudden to me. She literally updated the tool to v1.1.9.7 for playtesting purposes and that was it. No other communication whatsoever which to me is very unlike her.
it does this since forever.
Perhaps thatās why she stopped updating it and not release the source code and didnāt announce it.
It shouldnāt since she had a check of some kind that prevented it from working with illegal copies. Many who had those came here asking for help to get it to run on their copies. They were āencouragedā to leave.
maybe, all we can do is speculate. i mean it was a noble goal, but at some point after the game is released it would also be ok to stop caring.
but anyone programming tools or modding games doesnāt owe anything to anybody, even to the devs. so itās also fair to do whatever you wantā¦
if i had to pick a number i would guess 99.9% of mods are playable with non legit games across all of gaming.
not really, judging by the countless attempts of pirates seeking help in this very thread. But Iām not a pirate so I wouldnāt really know what countermeasures Gerda actually implemented. Maybe you know more than I do 
Exactly, thatās why I donāt understand everyone making such a fuss about Gerdaās absence. For over a year she updated GI as a courtesy even though she had no personal interest in doing so. Then at some point she drew the line and left, simple as that. Iām repeating myself here but itās time for people to get over it. New tools by very active devs have emerged, imo itās better support those instead of being nostalgic about a dead project.
Still not a reason to support piracy.
has nothing to do with that, itās about being realisticā¦
Thank you so much for all you work.
Will we be able to use such features on crucible, the integrated GI ones, I presume?
Hey, Iām not doing anything currently because thereās now a better program for 1.2 with various features [Tool] DPYes - Player/pet DPS meter & Misc util
Hard to follow all the changes/updates. Is Grim Internals no longer an active app as of v 1.2 of GD ? All I want is the animals on the startup screen and scatter through the game world 
sadly is not updated anymore and the cute animals are gone 
Beyond my skill set but maybe someone will give it a go. The full list of animals that could appear though is a secret known only to Glocken, who might be willing to give someone a list, plus the graphics, but no-one has heard from her in a long time now.
I gave it one go but failed so either itās no so easy as I thought or I did something wrong (Iām not very good at modding).
Here are files related to animals (I rebuilt them for 1.2) if someone wants to try 34.46 MB file on MEGA
My guess is that it misses some Lua code thatās not publicly available to work properly
Thank you for all your work, and blessings to Glock. Ive moved to v.1.2
oh yeah i think i have something to add to the Architect in a while <3
Is/will there be a version of this for the new 1.2.0.4 build of the game? I get incompatible when running newest tool.
Welcome to the forum. 
No, this tool is no longer being supported. Crate have added some of its features to the game proper.
If you want some of the others it had then see here
