Thanks a lot. I don't know about the "can't do that yet" crash, but I'll bet the screen-changing problem you're having is just a small matter of waiting a second or two. My image loader is not exactly lightning-fast. I'll work both on the loader itself later and on the compilation settings...

Thanks a lot. For Linux and MacOS X, I will make Jar files. That in itself will make it considerably faster.

No, just a few months. Took out that line (it referred to a different page).

Good start on my part, huh? :-) It was 4 AM when I posted the link. I just replaced it (on my page) with a mediafire link, so there should be no more problems. Sorry.

Thanks everyone. Sorry, MI, I do get a little defensive online.

I just started a new thread with the link to the aforementioned BROKEN demo! If everyone who downloads it could write something about it (criticism of the constructive variety is welcome, help even moreso) I'd appreciate it.

I made a (VERY) quick web site (the IP link, no URL yet, follows). I ask that everyone please read my quick note, and the link to the game itself is on the bottom. By the amount of time I spent on this, it really doesn't feel that way, but at the end of the day it's very early on and not everything ...

And I think it's important to emphasize that I wrote the code from scratch, as opposed to using an engine (apart from the 3D rendering bit).

MI, I'm sure you're not nearly brave enough to be this cheeky in real life, but thanks for your response. I think I agree. Broomie, I think I'll just zip it. By the way, what I meant is that it's not perfectly ironed-out, meaning, say, the hero might not always come out in the exact place you'd expe...

Question, as I get ready to release a very much broken (but fairly large) demo: would people rather they get to install the demo, or would you prefer to just extract it into a directory and run it?

Good point, Dr. Jones. Thanks.

It didn't go into my Program Files (x86) directory, but to my Program Files one. Is version 4.0 64-bit?

Thanks for the interest, everyone. Yes, it's still going (got all of Spielburg outdoors now and about 9 other screens). I'm waiting for the screen just outside town to have a sequence, through the healer's, towards Braggi (although he won't be there yet). I imagine by the end of the week I can relea...

Thanks a lot, pal. I really hope to have a 4-screen demo by next week. I got the sheriff and another screen yesterday!

Guys, enough. I didn't reply the last time because I don't want this thread to be about this little girl. But so long as I'm being forced to post yet again about this, here goes my response. I'm going to be completely honest with you: When I asked why you wanted to remake a remake I was expecting an...

Kid, you need to grow up.

You don't know me at all, but let me ask you this: what is it with your need to tell people what they need? It's not the first time you wrote this to me, and I'd be willing to bet I wasn't the first person to whom you wrote this.

Considering your reaction to my previous post of simply asking why you chose to remake a remake was to, I dunno, try to pick a fight with me or something (honestly I'm not sure what your motives were there) on another unrelated thread and your reaction to this post, I'd say no you're not. Your cond...

Dude you really need to chill when people question or criticize. Not everyone's going to like your stuff or understand your motives. Dude, I'm perfectly chill when people write reasonable criticism. It doesn't even have to be constructive, but the guy was being more than a little rude. As is your d...

And thanks Solarkid and 12...0. Oh, and I hope to have a 4-screen demo done soon (just got my second in-game background!). Plus, all the original opening screens re-done (have them already). It will include at least one screen outside town, because Spielburg won't be completely finished until, at th...

No problem. If you ever change your mind...

And great job on the update.

Kotskoets, that's not being blunt, that's being both blind and a jackass. If I do say so myself, the background looks fantastic.

Muadeeb, you make good points. I suppose I could add those, but it would have to be in a way that didn't take away from the feeling of the game.

And it's going to use the original (VGA) interface, but the toolbar was obviously redrawn.

1:1. I wouldn't know what to add to begin with. I mean, if I were remaking 5 I would definately want to add the ability to open all the doors in Silmaria, but there's no such annoyances in QG1.

Timo, you rock, man. Would you be at all interested in helping me out with my Quest for Glory I 2.5D project?

Lady Pyro, I notice you didn't use the "there have already been great Quest for Glory drawings" argument here. So I have to ask: why?

Lady Pyro, why? Really? It's fun for me and my version intends to look much better than the VGA remake. But it being fun for me is enough of a reason, isn't it?

It's pure Java, but for the 3D parts, I'm using a very cool engine named jPCT. And thanks.
