...I haven't run out of things to do as of day 11, and I know on day 12 I'll have to take care of another elemental and solve the dervish's puzzle. I don't know about this magician's side-quest. I should look into it... What is Dervish's puzzle? How it can be found? As far as I remember, Dervish ha...

Did you get to upgrade your two projectile spells? In case you're playing the classic system, there's a hidden sidequest to fulfill. No, I haven't got the upgrades, since the magic games feel quite difficult (especially Aziza's one). What kind of sidequest there is? I'm playing with simplified alle...

I'm playing with Magic User being currently at day 10. My problem is, that I don't know how to spend my time. It is quite boring just wait for the day when the next elemental attacks (is it day 12?). Actually I can just walk around the desert and fight some monsters... and wait. I have tried to talk...

I think the battles are really difficult for magic user, although I know how to use spells. The reason is, that I'm out of mana points too soon, and the fighting just with a dagger is not very powerful. For example, the killing of just one desert brigand takes out all my mana points, and they rechar...

I have currently 13 dinars. When I tried to buy saurus from Ali Fakir (my thought was to bargain price below 13 dinars), he simply said I haven't enough money. That is, I couldn't even get to the window where I could bargain price below 13.

How much money do I need?

I'm playing QFG2VGA with Magic User, being at day 3. As the saurus was very expensive and I though I could travel on the desert well enough without it, I made a decision to play the game without buying it. Because I had not very much money (and battles are really difficult), I decided to spend my mo...

I just had to say, that this was a great and interesting thread as a whole. So many people (including myseld) used a lot of time in remaking individual SQ2 screens. Hopefully it was good time for all of them who took part to this thread. For me, the remaking of the screens gave at least much useful ...

I see them... IMHO, the remakes seem a little blurry. This might be intentional, but when I first looked at the title page, I thought these were two versions you made, and liked better the left one. Only then did I realize that the left one is the original...  :p I have same kind of opinion of the ...

Ok, maybe it is time again to continue the development of this project?

Here are some improvements made to text box and background art...
(Believe me, it looks much better in full screen)

Looks good!

But... How big is the need for KQ2 SCI when there is already KQ2VGA available?

Well, I decided to test yet one font. In addition, it is now anti-aliased with the textbox (The idea I got from Al Emmo's demo. Thanks.).

The font is improved now, too.

The new, improved font:


The old font:

Yes, you're right. I haven't just found a reason, why the alpha-blended character looks darker. Maybe the "effect" would be possible to be compensated by making the sprites originally brighter (That means, using Brightness/Contrast adjustments in Photoshop etc.). At least I have to test. ...

To be honest, I wouldn't see a problem with that. If it got the fans a Space Quest game quicker then by all means go ahead, it's just if the artists are okay with that. You could always hire a few touch up artists who could go over the screens just to add simularity in them but if everyone is okay ...

So you don't need the backgrounds shown in this thread?

The second one does look darker. His hair looks brighter, though (and gray instead of reddish-black). Yes, you're right. I haven't just found a reason, why the alpha-blended character looks darker. Maybe the "effect" would be possible to be compensated by making the sprites originally bri...

Interesting idea!

And where are you going to get the backgrounds for the game?

Hey, I believe I figured it out now! :) Look the pictures below and compare. The only problem still is, that the alpha-blended character (the lower one) looks somewhat darker than the original, even the edges are now anti-aliased with the background. And it didn't took very long as I did it with Ado...

As much I know about AGS, it doesn't include built-in anti-aliaser. But if there is someone other good way to add anti-aliasing to an AGS game (640x400), I will surely use it when I figure out how it works. Al Emmo's demo looks very good, and the way how the character is anti-aliased with the backgr...

And the game is still under work. :) Has anyone ideas, what would be the best way to make characters anti-aliased with the background? As someone has said, it would be a good improvement on the graphics. I just remember, that alpha blending in AGS requires 32-bit depth and doesn't work with scaled s...

Looks very great! Animation, backgrounds and music... at least as good as in AGDI's remakes! :) But... :rolleyes I think I found some bugs quite quickly. Because the server seems to be down in Infamous Adventures's site, I post them here: - When I try to use inventory items on almost anything on the...

Oh second please. How long have you been making this game? I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but it has been in production about three years already. Actually, the "first" year went just by practicing the making of backgrounds and characters. For example, the first version of the la...

Thanks for the comments! Now I'd be curious to hear your opinions about the two different fonts I could use in the game. So which one font is better? Font 1 or 2? The first one is actually meant for 320x200 -resolution (this game is 640x400), and the second one is drawn by me, and it is made for 640...

Does it is better now? The style of buttons is same as before, but the texture of the buttons is no longer identical.
(I edited them with Adobe Photoshop Elements, using copy and paste -tools)
