Hi everyone, Lori and Corey's new School for Heroes site (http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/) is now officially open for registration. You can take the "entrance exam" to see what kind of hero you are, and you can create your user account. As many of you know, the Coles have been blogging ...

P.S. Does anybody know who my avatar is? The Black Knight from Conquests of Camelot, no? The designer of the two Conquests games, Christie Marx, has continued to write scripts for games and other media. Her website's sitemap gives an idea of some of the other work she's done: http://www.christymarx...

Thanks,

I take it you'll be interviewing them again after the QfG2VGA release? :) From what I understand there will be a number of things (small things) included which they originally intended. Would be interesting to hear their 'ex-director's play-by-play'. :P We haven't made any plans for another intervi...

Ah.  The game directory on the AGS website lists KQ1VGA and KQ2VGA as 16-bit.  Sorry for spreading misinformation!  :|

Thanks Joseph. Good read. :) Thanks for checking it out, Gronagor!  :) Not really anything new, but still interesting to read. Well, in terms of the questions I chose, the interview was mostly intended to yield fresh perspectives on game development, rather than news announcements per se.  However,...

Hi everyone, A new interview of the Coles has just been published in Strange Horizons , an online magazine for which I'm an editor.  Here is the direct link to the interview: http://www.strangehorizons.com/2008/20080526/1howse-a.shtml The interview contains information on the Coles' upcoming games, ...

Exciting stuff.  I wonder how a text game is going to go over for the Gloriana world...  I bet the Coles could get a game studio behind them to make it a graphic game if they wanted to...  maybe they want a text experiance though. From a business perspective, I guess an advantage of a text adventur...

I'm still holding out for a QFG6, from anyone who produces quality work Although it is not a QFG6, the Coles are working on a text adventure, called Famous Adventurer's School for Heroes, which is of course set in Glorianna. More information will be forthcoming on the Coles' (Transolar Entertainmen...

I've downloaded Jamy's add-on and in the brief testing I've done so far it seems to work as announced. The download consists of an .exe that boots QFGV in different modes depending on which hero (Prince of Shapeir, Elsa, or Magnum) you want to play.  QFGV must be installed in the default directory (...
