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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

I saw this a few weeks back and posted it up on Twitter. Pretty cool to weigh in at number #2. Especially when number #1 is something as hilarious of "Garfield Minus Garfield". Someone should do "King's Quest 5 without Graham" so that the entire adventure is just Cedric talking t...

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...

There's a knowledge flag here. You need to ask Issur about arm wrestling first before he mentions challenging him. You can access the topic via the "Trophies>Arm Wrestling" branch on the dialogue tree, or just type "wrestling" or "arm wrestling" into his text parser. Af...

Check to see if they're located in your My Documents/My Saved Games folder/Quest for Glory II folder. Also, on some systems, we've had reports that you may need to show hidden files in Windows to see any .sav files in the game directory. To show hidden files, follow the instructions in the link belo...

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...

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!)

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.

Well, we've been making some steady progress recently after bringing some new hires on board. Akril is also working on our 2D cutscenes this time abound and she has produced some truly fantastic work in the short time she has been on the team! Aside from that, I'm afraid there hasn't been a whole lo...

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 ...

Actually, he was just leaving (spambot!)

Looking back at this thread, it's quite funny to see that so many people made Persephone (another spambot) feel so welcome on the forums.

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

Yup! We've brought 2 scripters on board to assist with a couple of projects we have running. Gargin is one of vict... err lucky applicants. And the other is an AGS forum regular whom we haven't finalized things with yet. All in all, the extra help should speed up the game's development significantly...

We were able to handle multiple programmers pretty effectively with QFG2VGA and KQ3 Redux. We would just designate one programmer as the person who currently had the "master" version of the source code. And there was a mutual understanding that ALL changes made to the code by the other pro...

It's a pretty common funding method for start-ups who require seed funding but don't wish to give up a sizable portion of their company share to investors. Friends and family funding is how we've funded our previous commercial games, and there have been no issues. Everybody who invested got repaid w...

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. Seems a bit counter-productive... also, it's not as hard for us to get our hands on that amount of funding from friends and family if absolutely necessary. For w...

Not yet. We recently finished our business plan, but have hit a hurdle. We're waiting to hear back from a few people before we can proceed with pitching to any investors. The scripting position mentioned above would be a lump sum payment (50% of front, 50% upon completion of the game) and the person...

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.

You have a very strange method of convincing people that it's worth giving you what you want...

Hey guys, Himalaya Studios is on the lookout for an AGS programmer to help expedite progress on our upcoming RPG/Adventure game, Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements : Please note that this is a commercial paid project. A contractor arrangement will be worked out with the successful applicant. I...

Downloading it now! :D Congratulations to everyone at IA for accomplishing yet another milestone. It takes a lot of damn hard work and dedication to see projects of this magnitude through to the end, and it's always awesome to have the opportunity play another blast from the past (particularly one I...
