Re: combat system is better than any other QFG

Once I remapped the keys, I instantly had ten times the fun. This is the only QFG where I look forward to the combat, instead of just going through with a chore. Totally brilliant battle system and I would say some of the logistics displayed here are a fine example of how to do things right that mos...

Re: The "Thanks" thread!

The whole AGDI team has been a huge inspiration for me, and I'm sure nearly everyone who's been following this project for any length of time can say the same. Thousands upon thousands of other teams would have given up long ago -- I know I've given up on plenty of "projects" in my time an...

Re: QFG1 Bug - highly annoying, but not impossible to play with

I'm no expert with troubleshooting Dosbox/Ubuntu BUT: 1) Are you using a generic, out-of-the-box Dosbox install? Specifically, are you absolutely sure the resolution is VGA (320x200?) 2) Does the problem occur in both full screen and windowed modes? If so, does the picture change between the two, be...

Re: QFG Artwork

The stuff in this thread is awesome. It's really interesting to see all the talent around here. Now, there's no way I can make better wallpaper than Eriq but I really wanted these pictures on my desktop (at least for now) and since no one else has turned them into wallpaper yet, I had to do it... I ...

Re: I have to say it – misconceptions about torrent.

Yes it is centralized For the record, no, BitTorrent is NOT centralized. All major clients support DHT, which allows peers to announce other peers. This means that the majority of BitTorrent users can continue to operate without trackers. The trackers are a convenience that allow their webmasters t...

Re: ** QFG2 Official Countdown Thread, Saturday Noon Update! **

Btw, Eriq, I notice that you're using your stylus pen directly on your screen. Is there some sort of Technology leap with mac's that I should know about? I feel very jaelous here with my Wacom tablet :o( He might be using a Wacom Cintiq, which integrated an LCD screen right onto the touchpad. http:...

Re: My Al Emmo review.

Wow! That is great news! I promise I won't pirate it. :D

Funding? How does that work? Do you... take donations or are you looking for enough of a bid to quit your day jobs? That would be cool. 8-) Good luck.

Re: How much would you pay for a Sierra Adventure Game Nowadays?

And to be honest, I don't think you would either if you knew the ramifications of what you're really saying. You say you write software for a bank. The code, since you wrote it, is initially your intellectual property. Your employer buys it from you and in return gets the right to use it in his bus...

The amount of mis-information in this thread looks like it makes me trying to state my case kind of pointless. So I won't bother any more. Many people say piracy is "wrong" but what does that word even mean? There's legally wrong, and then there's morally wrong. Piracy is legally wrong, su...

Solarkid: If you think Steam is somehow uncrackable, I'm afraid you need to do some more research. I promise you that every single game on Steam (including Half Life 2 and friends, which are exclusive to Steam) has been cracked very quickly. Bioshock took a number of days, not weeks, as reported abo...

Okay, you made a couple points but I'm not sure I disagree with you on any of them. I mean, I do -- to me, you can never own something that can be freely copied, so the thief metaphor just falls apart because you and I think on completely different levels when it comes to intellectual "property...

Well, I've been logging many of the IP numbers and ISPs of torrent downloaders and the exact times that they've been logged on, just in case we can use the info legally in the future. Phst, dudes torrenting Al Emmo is sick? No, THIS (quoted) is sick. Hopefully in time, outdated and poorly-conceived...

Of course, what people say and what they DO are two very different things. This thread was started to evaluate the price at which people would be willing to pay for our commercial adventure game. Yet when we actually released it, we based the retail price on feedback given in this thread (as well a...
