Wow! Okay, that is crazy fast! Congrats!

That explains AGDI's decision as well. Would have been fun, but too much work for way too little reward.

If I remember correctly the recent games had Larry's nephew or something as the main character. Probably a good decision.

Sounds to me there're some people here looking for a new Larry game. You can have the best imagination in the world, but I doubt you'll turn Gwydion/Alex into that specific character.

Wow. Lots of philosphy going on here. All totally wrong and baseless, but I'll give you points for trying. Better luck next time.

Who said Llewdor is in the US?

Hmmm... perhaps Genesta is 'The Father'!

I guess you're talking about the resizing of the sprite.

Wow!

If there is something I could have changed in KQ3, it would be to remove the desert. It just doesn't make much sense to have an ocean, a few screens of green pastures and forest, and then...a desert. Perhaps if Manannan's mansion was on the top of a mountain range, and another path went down to the...

Hmmm... don't know the specific reference for the picture part, but where else in the Sierra/AGDI world did you see Wizard portraits?

Kinda doubt it. From what I saw on their site, they have too much on their plate. Maybe next year.

Which man? Gwydion isn't quite a man yet.

Ah. You mean Mannaanananana. Don't agree. But fine.

No. Keep the link for after the release. There are already a number of reviews online.

It's not as if you have a choice. They already have the license.

Hey cool! Even an article on CNN for this release!

Nah. I don't think that's it. The interest is there, but companies prefer to go the mass market route, reaching 3 Billion people who don't notice they're playing the same game again, just with a few tweaks... and paying through their ears for it. Less effort. More money. Can you really blame them? T...

Hey. A number of 2D animated TV series are more popular than their 3D counterparts.
To me, 3D needs to be VERY detailed to give life to characters, otherwise they don't even compare with weak 2D show/game.

Eriq, did you have access to the handpainted versions of some of those art?

You know. For some reason I didn't believe your inability to write a single comprehendible sentence a few years ago, and I still don't. I'm terrible with English myself (ask Eriq and Emily!), but seriously... Try http://www.google.com/translate I'm pretty sure you'll get better results with this met...

Scary stuff, eh? First the floods that destroyed millions of homes in South Africa, NZ, Australia and South America. Big storms hitting Oz. Now earthquakes. There were a number of earthquakes some distance off the coast of South Africa just a month ago, thus this seem to be more than coincidence. Hm...

I agree with you, and yes, however you look at it, it is infringement. BUT what I was saying is that companies would make a bigger effort to protect their property, by sueing when you take everything as is and just throw it out there. I'm not saying either is a smaller sin, or less illegal. In short...

Trademark and copyright are very different things. Most countries take copyright very seriously.

Originally there was supposed to be a scene where Alex sung "Highway to Daddy's Throne", but it was cut. Not sure why....
