Re: Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements
Thanks, MusicLady1724. I'm not sure what the final price will be yet. Probably $15-$20 USD for the digital download version. (The boxed collectors edition with the swag would be the more expensive one). quest: Much of the functionality of the combat system is in place and the attack/spell "func...

Re: Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements
Over the past month or so we've brought a new programmer onto the development team and have started making some excellent progress on the game's combat system. It will be closer in style to Diablo (free-roaming) than the battle systems seen in any the Quest for Glory games. The closest comparison wo...

Re: Please Help - Air Elemental Bug?
Ah right. Well, the official Wizard method (without throwing skill) means that you need to build up your strength stat high enough to be able to force your way into the center of the funnel.
Buy a bunch of vigor pills and train with Uhura... to focus on raising strength.

Re: Please Help - Air Elemental Bug?
Is your throwing stat high enough to aim at the center of the funnel with accuracy? Also, have you tried doing this in both plaza screens to see if the Levitate issue only occurs in one screen but not the other? When you say "gets stuck" what do you mean exactly? Does the game freeze up? O...

Re: Kickstarter
Would you consider using some pre-order system (not ks)where people also got the feeling they were helping the game get finished by pre-ordering. I realise this puts admin work in during the development stage but surely any funds aid development and the press that a pre-order run would get is a goo...

My thoughts on using Kickstarter as a funding method haven't changed all that much. After estimating the amount of money we'd likely generate from a campaign, factoring in shippable rewards, and crunching the numbers it doesn't offer a much higher margin on development funds than the amount we're al...

Nah, the KQ3 Redux cliffhanger wasn't an attempt to extort a series continuation out of Activision. Personally, I don't think blackmail or coercion is a very wise negotiation tactic for trying to continue a professional business relationship with another company. Actually, if we were granted permiss...

Re: New Addition to my Family
Good idea Dr. Jones. But I'm not too sure that Sean would let me borrow his newborn, take her to a corporate office, and showcase her in a game pitch presentation aimed at softening up a bunch of cold-hearted execs.
Hey, congrats, Sean! (That sure is a lot of X Chromosomes in the family now!)

Re: Interesting glitch with the astrologer and alleway syste
Interesting find, indeed! Does this only happen when being kicked out of the astrologer's house? Or does it occur when being kicked out of other places at night time too?
If we ever release another build, I'll get it fixed.

Maybe so, but we can also edit the games on our side to make them incompatible with any unlicensed translation packs that get released. AGDI's remakes are the property of Activison and any add-ons for the game must be licensed under a sub-contractor agreement. Making unlicensed translations doesn't ...

I'll change it up by saying to both of them: "Get lost! We don't need your kind here!"

We've considered Kickstarter before, but the incentives/rewards you have to offer eat into time as well as the funding you've just raised.

Rocks won't slow the Air Elemental in the remake. We made it strictly earth or dirt that had to be thrown in order to keep closer to the element-based nature of the game.

Based on a knowledge flag, Aziza has to give you the go-ahead. In other words, you first need to hear Aziza say that Julanar is the tree/healer's name before you can say "Julanar" to the plant and receive the desired outcome.
