So just a quick update:
Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar exists, is on Steam, and is fun to play if you enjoyed games like Wizardry 6 & 7.
High points are the dungeon designs, artwork, story and feel.
It's still got minor and possibly major bugs (which are being fixed), missing content, balance issues, and so on, all of which are gradually being addressed. Cleve is pretty active and responsive on the error reporting threads and quite a few of the things people have reported have been attended to quickly.
Grimoire is Cleveland Mark Blakemore's Magnum Opus, so I expect he's going to keep tweaking and fixing it for the rest of his life; and now he has an active community of testers banging away at it, so that's good, right?
Anyway there are plenty of discussions and comments on Steam and elsewhere about this game, perhaps too many. I know I've spent way too much time reading them.
Summary: I like the game a lot. Glad I supported it. Hopefully I'm still alive when Cleve sends out physical backer rewards.
