Alistair - nope . I did that background from scratch and didn't reference KQ material at all, so any apparent similarities must be by coincidence.

There aren't any walking dead situations as far as we know; the game is very non-linear and there are often more than one solution to many puzzles.

There isn't a speech pack, and I doubt there will be.

From the FAQ

We originally intended a speech pack, but we had trouble getting the necessary voices. Most people who auditioned were teens or students, and several of the characters in the game are middle aged, or even ageless faeries.

If you go to the website (http://www.waywardmind.com/KQ4/), you will get this:

We are currently in the middle of a server transition. Please bear with us for a few more days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Go to Winsetup (in the game directory where you installed it), then uncheck the 'Run in window' option. It might look better to use the 'Force alternate letterbox resolution' option, depending on your monitor.

er...  :o  That was something still in progress from a while back and I had never actually made the link 'public'. For the most part, I don't really paint like that anymore, and there are some things that aren't correct or could be better, like colour choice. I'll have to update when it's summer hol...

Technically you don't really have to use layers either, though they make things much easier to fix up/redo and/or remove if necessary. What I personally do is just block out everything in one layer with a big brush, then gradually refine everything down (Though I do use layers, but in a very disorde...

Yep, someone decided it would be cool to blank the forums.

Our progress isn't going to be affected by it though, as we've got copies of the important stuff, and the main things lost are the to-do lists.

The sites reached it's bandwidth limit now.

When should it be working again, I wonder.

It should be working at the beginning of next month again.

It is possible to pixel a whole vga background, but generally it is either digitally painted, or collaged with textures or other images, as using pixel art technique would take a lot of time. Or you could actually paint the background using traditional medium, and then scan and resize it and edit it...

Yeah, but it's not exactly promising that the copyright at the bottom of the page is still dated last year, though... :/ Just because we don't update the website does not mean that we aren't working on it ;) If you want updates, I suggest you check here: http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?top...

He just doesn't exactly have a good track record of completing games. Well, that's not true. He's worked on quite a few games before. Have you tried META or MOTLPAA?  :evil (not to mention the other non-AGS games he has created) Anyway, A Tale of Two Kingdoms is nearing completion. The whole team w...

The GIMP is good, once you get the hang of it... and it's free
http://www.gimp.org/

If you want to pay for a paint program though, there's Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Corel Photo-paint, etc. But Gimp can do the same sort of things.

It doesn't really matter how you go about doing the bushes as long as it achieves what you want ;) Anyway, one way you could do it from scratch is to define the shape of the bush with a solid colour, then add shading to give it volume and define where it is bushier and such, then use different shade...

I cleaned it up a bit: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Fizzii/Drawings/sq2screen.bmp - Sharpened image with Unsharp Mask, to define edges. - Made the columns squarer like in the original - Cleaned up edges of other things. Things that could be worked on: - Floor could look smoother and shinie...

Very nice and great idea Blackthorne :) You seemed to have missed out the stairs... are those important? (I've never played sq2). Anyway, I might do something to it tomorrow, when I'm not so tired :) Rog - Quite nice. I don't like the large lens flare though :b The font is good, and I think the comp...

lol, I didn't quite think she was transsexual, but looking at it again, her jaw is a bit strong, which makes her look slightly mannish. Her pose doesn't really help either. Maybe I should make her neck longer and slender as well. But for now I'm not going to be working on it, because I have other th...

Ah I see. I did not know. Sorry Gronagor - if you want to criticise it, go ahead Helps me improve

you might want to fix her neck/head she looks really stiff Thanks :) I replaced the picture above ^^ And gave her eyelids too ;) I'll fix up the metal bracelets another time...I'm not quite so good at texturing metals. :| Can we give tips? You can give tips if you want ;) Or did you mean you want t...

Well, this isn't a background...



Faatima looks somewhat different

The texture of the grass looks much better in my opinion :) It's a bit bright and oversaturated though. When I did the mountain I chose a smaller brush. For 320x200 size it would be a 1 pixel. I'd put down single brush strokes of one grey, so at first it looks messy. Then go over the other areas wit...
