Understood about not wanting to indulge every whim (even if it's likely easy to implement) but why decide on including Ctrl in the first place?  Nostalgia?

Why continue to include the need to hold down Ctrl?  Or at least, why not give the player the option to hold it down or not (make both ways work)?

We can help.  Name, numbers and address?  

So, it's almost the two year anniversary of the trailer's release.  Assuming a trailer was released today, using the same scenes, in the same order, would it look much different? I know that much of the last year or two was spent concentrating on bugs.  I guess my questions is, how much have the gra...

You know, the game might have been out already (VU's permission notwithstanding) if we weren't so darn perfectionistic about it. Stuff like not getting back every single dagger you toss at a creature, a splash appearing in the sand if you toss a rock in the water at the very edge of the oasis or Sh...

Is this a change from the original (where I thought you could wish for skills past 200 as well)?  If so, why?

I don't see the problem.  We all just need to increase our desktop resolution to 2 million by 1 million.

Cheating is like drinking - if you abuse it, yeah, it sucks.  But if you know how to use it responsibly then it's no big deal.

An alert beta tester sent us a quicksave taken right after that random point, but just before the actual bug triggered, allowing us to consistently replicate it and track down the cause of the problem. Nice! About the quick saves: are they for beta testing purposes only or will they be part of the ...

Obviously if they didn't want to finish it they're not going to risk releasing the source for other people to finish it. Did they say somewhere that they don't want anyone else to make the game either?  And what's to stop someone from starting the game from scratch, based on the info already reveal...

I strongly agree with this.  If the voices are amateur or "wrong," it drops my immersion in the game completely.

Just some nitpicky questions: why not just write the username down of the poster instead of having everyone pick numbers?  And why the password thing?  Why not just have AGD get in touch with the winner via PM?

That last post by ejx982 made me wonder: how often do you have to play the first QfG to get an idea of where something comes from?  For example, if you need to know how the Dazzle spell works I'd guess it would also help to replay the first game and maybe Erasmus describes its origins/workings.  I m...

I was link-jumping starting with Music Head's link and landed at http://www.agdinteractive.com/QFG2.php .  It has this stats image: http://www.agdinteractive.com/images/feature-qfg2-stats.jpg Now, I was wondering if you guys could post an updated stats page as the game stands, as well as let me know...

I liked all of them but especially appreciated the great graphics and smooth style of 3.  It was an impressive blend of beautiful backgrounds, nicely animated sprites and fun cutscenes.  I've gotta replay that game again.

Always neat to see these.  Thanks!

No.  It's better if our vivid imaginations don't create unrealistic expectations, so you'd better tell us everything.      :p

I'm sure that those who are signed up for the newsletter will get an email once the game is released.

AGC2, can you share a URL or a description to the brand/model of the mini-disc recorder you use?  I was considering buying a portable device that records sounds to memory and then connects to USB to download it but I'm not sure if it exists (sounds good in my head though). And though they weren't me...

Throughout the year or so I've regularly visited these forums, I've noticed several forum members pop up as actively contributing to Quest For Glory II VGA.  Can someone please post the complete list and what they're doing for the game?  I'm curious who's involved in all aspects: scripting, music, b...

I disagree with Piotyr and DonQuixote.  Personally, I appreciate any effort to bring free entertainment to the public.  If something happened and the game never saw the light of day I will still be very thankful for the thousands of hours put into the game's production, the screenshots, the trailer,...

These are quite impressive.  With some tweaking in Photoshop, they could be great in-game backgrounds.

Yeah.  It's truly one of those things where you really don't know how hard it is unless you're actually there.  There are hundreds of variables which can affect each other and it gets truly insane.  I'm just trying to get a basic platformer game coded but even the simplest mistakes can make it a nig...

Awesome!  Thanks for those!
