Thought I'd add a few... ...you check your local college for correspondance courses in adventuring ...you know the secret ingredient to good root beer. ...you always sign your name with a flourish. ...you wonder why your job doesn't have a guild hall. ...it's not a scratch on the wall, it's a THIEF ...

Alpha testing is in-house, in other words it's just the team that does it.

Beta testing is when they call in other folks. At least that's the way I understand it.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with those who feel that the story and characters are "perfect" or "complex."   In short, the story and characters should be expanded, A LOT. Make us care about them, so that when they start turning up dead, we are genuinely sorry.  How...

How the heck do you get negative stats?

The fact that I quite literally have to walk uphill, both ways, to go to school.

Not both the entire distance, but the parts that aren't uphill are downhill, and that's just as bad.

It's about developing adventures. There's several good theory articles. Yay!

That's really weird that she claims not to have created it, because it IS in KQ6. When you're spying on the Vizier, he writes (and I quote) "Dear Shadrak. Salutations from the Society of the Black Cloak, etc., etc. My long preperations are about to come to fruition." Maybe Jane Jensen wrot...

I've mostly heard people say that QG3 is the worst game in the series. There's very little difference between the various hero types, I think the theif only has two side quests, most of the game seemed to be spent watching a little red line meander across the savana... not my cup of tea. I've always...

Oh,  I know what the joke is. And as I recall, the whole problem with that situation was that Mr. Kast (it was Jodo Kast, right?) didn't actually make the game. He just claimed he was going to. Over and over and over again.

I'd still like to play a VGA version, though.

I downloaded the demo a few days ago and quite enjoyed it. The graphics were gorgeous, but I agree the Heroine walked REALLY slow. As for the people saying skinny girls can't fight, this is why the rapier, the epee, the dagger, the cutlass, and the sabre were invented- so there would be weapons for ...

I say go forth and make new original games. We know they can think up some pretty good original stuff (KQ2+), lets see what they can do with a full story. Let some other people make fan remakes and get their feet wet doing that, so they can go on to making original games that will wow and amaze peop...

I disagree with Ken William's statement that the KQ remakes are a waste of time entirely. Creating the KQ remakes has given the AGDs an opportunity to hone their artistic and programming skills at very low costs (I'm not saying no cost- there is always the cost of paper, pencils and coffee, and I ca...

I'm an occasional lurker around here, so I only caught this thread now. Read the entire thing. And what a day for me to read it all!

Best of luck to the 2.5 of you!

I first played QFG2 sometime in '92, I think. My mom, a big Agatha Christie fan, wanted to buy The Colonel's Bequest, from the Price Club (a bulk warehouse store) but they only sold it packaged with this desert game called Trial By Fire. We played through Colonel's Bequest, and were all riled up to ...
