I meant to write "scroll down the forum." It's the thread titled "Quest for Glory I 2.5D."

Please reply on the general forum, but I suppose it's relevant link to it here, where people care about Quest for Glory:

I have my share of artists working both on background images and on models. But the more I work on this game the faster I want to do it. I'm programming it from scratch, but I've already got a WHOLE lot done as it is. I'm doing it in Java, but machine-compiling it (.exe) for Windows (and generating ...

Thanks everyone for the comment. No web site, solar kid. It's really just me doing it as a hobby and waiting on my very uninterested artists. Timo, in point of fact each "room" has its own invisible plane (how I do the collision-detection for walking). Shadows would be trivial to do. Most ...

I'm a programmer, not an artist, but I assure you I can do better than this second attempt. But until then, here's an overexposed shot of the hero from the front. I won't be focusing so very much on the lighting for quite some time, but I assure everyone that the hero's face looks better than it app...

Thanks for the observations, I will work on the lighting next (too many little things have to be done). As for the perspective, that's a tough one. I would have to come up with some kind of formula for tilting the camera as the hero walks in order for him to always look right against the background....

I don't know what you mean by that. The hero's 3D. Maybe I could light him better, or anti-alias him, or both, but to claim he looks like he was made in Paint?

I posted the following in the general forum, but figured this is the place in which people are more likely to be interested. So here's the link: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13118

Thanks a lot. Hope to have a lot more in the near future.

I was going to have a Spielburg demo ready by now, but I'm really just waiting on my artists to complete the sheriff and the centaur, not to mention one final background. Anyhow, this gives you a good idea. I'm programming it from scratch, and I have most of the work done (like the room-change algor...

Thanks a lot (especially for the response time).

Do we ever see him off his chair in the first screen? I can't remember.

Spikey, exactly. I wouldn't mind having my credit card numbers in the front page of a newspaper. It wouldn't cost me anything!

And AGC2, cool. I wouldn't know where to put the poster anyway. So I'll just get it off your link. Thanks.

Update: I pressed all the F-keys and one of them must have solved it because the toolbar came back. By the way, even leaving the game and restoring it hadn't fixed it.

I saved and took healing pills just after leaving Aziza's. All of a sudden I can no longer see the toolbar.

Cool, I'll try later. Thanks a lot.

I think I know what's happening: when you run the game from "settings" ("Save and run"), the save games are different files from the ones when you just click "Save!" So I got my saves back. Yay. Still, another bug reported. : -)

I started the game 3 times over. The second time I had made the mistake of not having enough money to buy the saurus on the 2nd day. The last time was last night, when I played it for hours and overwrote the only save files that were visible (but not all the save files I had made). Now, the newer ve...

My problem was like CDA_91's. I didn't have enough mana either.

For whoever it's worth, it was something related to my trying to levitate towards the Griffin AFTER took the feather. I have the feather now and can use the map on day 1. Still, a bug is a bug!

The game keeps telling me I have no time to use the map. I didn't import my character, who's a thief.

I think they did miss it by like 5 or 10 minutes! Thank you so much, AGDI. Just installed it and am about to play it. Yay!

In the absence of it, I bought Sam & Max Season 2 instead. Paypal has a problem with my credit card (something to do with it not letting Paypal verify its billing address). The software's so smart that it has limited access to my own account. With limited access, I can't very well delete the cre...

Now I can justifiably thank you for all the enormous hard work involved in bringing this most awesome remake to us all. Can't wait for Sunday.

Coool. And hey, I like the marketing campaign. Anyway, I'm doing something I would like to be able to post here around the same time as the release. It's pretty cool, IMO.
