I had an idea like this a while back. While it would be awesome, I think it would be cool to keep it all in a 2D VGA style, similar of that to Good Old Adventures.

One could possibly write a client in Java, and the server code in whatever one pleases.

My answer to Mac users:

-Darwine (The Darwin Unix port of WINE, the reverse-engineered system32 libraries)
-Cider: Uses some of the WINE engine to make it specifically easy to use games.

I'm going to twitter the release, of course.

Try Darwine with a Windows version?

Or, Crossover Mac, or Cider from Transgaming?

Sadly, Squadron Six Entertainment isn't remaking Space Quest III anymore. There was a lot of management problems.

However, we did happen to give our source code to IA, I think.

Oh, snap! I didn't even think anyone went on GOA anymore!

I'm definitely up for this!
For oddity's sake, I'll be playing this in ScummVM on OpenSolaris, as that setup works out great for me. (A Java app on a Sun System? The nerve!)

I wonder, though: is it playable in Win 3.1 under DosBox?

Good lord, a perfect thread to post in! I have so many very fond memories here, as they were the first forums I ever signed up for. I was 12 then, and now I'm 18. And after 6 years of waiting, QFG2VGA is almost done. I remember alot of things. I remember how funny TheKnight was, and when he left. I ...

I've used Ubuntu. It's a nice starter distro for Linux. I agree with it not being on par for multimedia creation for the time being, though.

I always find this a fun topic to bring up on forums. So, without further ado, here's the ones I have set up on a Quad-boot, on my PC. - Windows XP: For the more advanced games that Wine can't play. - Mac OSX: Well, technically it's OSX86, a project to [illegally] run Mac OSX Leopard on PC hardware....

The Isle of Dr. Brain.

I cheated my way all to the end.

I assume the scientist died thereafer.

I'm kind of surprised that "Watchmen" isn't on here.

Now THAT was a great graphic novel.

However, I'd have to say Justice League. I loved the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series, as bizzare as it was.

That, and the Xanth series. Great series of books.

I hath returned from the depths of the internet! This time, for good!

WHAH HAH HAH HAH!

Honestly, though. I missed everyone.

And I must admit, Bobby's World was an amazing show.

Although I wouldn't call myself a "Sierra-styled' background artist, I do have a small bit of advice: Draw it on paper. I like to be able to see all the tangible parts of my background. After drawing it, I scan it in, color it, texture it, and save it. Then I import it into AGS, and promptly ru...

For adventure games, Adventure Game Studio is fantastic. I don't like the newer version very much, though.

I'm excited to see how SLAGE is coming along, though.

Bah. I took part in Download Day. In my eyes, FF3 is a fantastic browser. Although, Safari is a bit faster on my Hackintosh (You know...Mac OSX on a PC) Still, I think that Konqueror, Aurora, and Epiphany are all great because they all are integrating Webkit. Nevertheless, it's not up to me to tell ...

I disagree, KQ8 was a terrible way to end the series.

On the other hand: without such a terrible ending game, there would never have been a chance for The Silver Lining to occur. And look at THAT community, it's wonderful.

Well, I must be in some odd alternate-reality/time warp. It's August 5th, and Trial By Fire isn't out yet.

Conversely, their site changed on my birthday! Yaaay, July 31st!

I would love to see a community to buy out Sierra, and just Open Source all of the games. Not only that, but we'd be able to make SO many fangames on SO many platforms!

EDIT: On top of that, it'd be swell to see Space Quest 7 be able to continue with their project!

Saw that. It looks great.

[spoiler]Just try to get to the end. Eventually Snake will collapse, and a cutscene will come up.[/spoiler]

I totally saw it last night, it was awesome.

When the next build becomes available, the next testers will be notified. Right now, we're still working on issues in the first build. Don't worry, we'll call you. http://www.agdinteractive.com/forum/images/avatars/moodpics/Nashnorm.jpg You mean, you'll call us. On the phone. Wishing us happy birth...

It's a shame you've got defective testers.
I currently have no life, so if you need one more tester, I'm all for it.
