Hope you are all well too.

The best way to get your kids to read: comics! As much as possible!

horus. Have you ever played Sierra games? At least anything since VGA appeared? This game is supposed to work similar to these VGA games. If you want to type, you can play the older version. There're actually a number of ways to play them without getting the old computer out. Some of them even online.

LOL! Guys and gals: This is a fantasy world based on magic. Why make an issue of the magical orb, when the entire game is based on curses and magic.

Well. There are three possibilities I can think off. 1) We have no idea what happened in the first 18 years of Gwydion's life. Perhaps he did warn him before... even punished him! For all we know, we (taking charge of Gwydion at this time) are punished this harshly for Gwydion's previous misdemeanor...

I suspect he wants the parser to be used, rather than point-n-click.

Although I found quite a few 'puzzles' in DOTT to be silly, the carwashing for rain makes quite a bit of sense. That usually happens with me.

Uhm. Radogol. Did you notice he used the word: 'I'? Erpy was making a statement saying he'd love to do that. He never made a proclamation on behalf of the team. If you asked him directly, like with QfG3, he'll most probably give you the same answer as with that game. On that subject... wonder how ma...

:p I do. :p But people like JP Selwood and Eriq Chang approach their art with a well planned method. JP especially works hard to get a consistent feel between bordering screens, thus he usually works with a pre-planned color-range. (Palette) Perhaps Eriq or JP would be willing to create us a video t...

Perhaps we should have used Miley Cyrus. Wonder what Rosella would have sounded like with a screeching southern accent?!

JP Selwood edited my version of that screen and added most of that specific sections you're talking about. He could probably tell you how he did it, but I can tell you: many hours are spent on a screen like this. Basicly it is a process of staring at the pixels for hours and deciding what would work...

Thanks for the great praise and critique! Actually, I found myself musing how bizarre it was that Alexander didn’t express any severe psychological disorders in KQ6. Given what a traumatic upbringing he had, it’s a wonder he didn’t suffer from paranoia, or at the very least, low self-esteem. W...

You know. The problem some of the modern academics have with Maslow is that there are influences in the civilized world (in the city) which could influence the importance of certain needs. Heck, Maslow admitted that himself. But, Maslow's triangle is 100% viable when stranded on an island. There are...

Besides. We'll have to see whether they can handle all the projects they have now. Personally I expect them to implode... wait... did I say that out loud?

We did consider having him in the game (as a cat) more, but we expected people to take out their frustration on poor M-cat. We can't condone violence against animals, even if he is an evil wizard who enslaved you for 18years.

I've been curious about something. Looking at how fast some players found most of the easter eggs, should there be more easter eggs in a game like this, or would it spoil the experience of the main game?

Argh. Heck. Why not remake the Sierra games in a text-only parser game. Don't you just miss those old text games?!!! Beautiful black screens and wonderful white text! Imagine the multi-playability!!

I agree with AGD2 that selling clone-games to the masses is pointless for most companies. One of the advantages of the adventure community: Players know what they want. No need to spend millions on marketing to 'brainwash' people into buying a game. Edit: In other words, selling a million copies is ...

Yeah. Unfortunately they will do it. Quite a few did it with QfG2.

Heh. Too bad we can't count the gaming magazines who usually put our games on their DVDs.

Uhmmm... that's an easter egg.
Just kidding. Good find!

Have we reached a million downloads yet Erpy? Navy?

Urgh. Had the same problem with adventure games. Had a tendency to want to 'Restore' to a 'previous saved game' in real life. Was especially annoying during exam times.
The common text parser commands also caused a few problems.

LOL! Sounds like a dare for them to remake their game!
