You're cutting it close. Will QFGII hit this year?

As a newbie to these forums (though not to internet gaming forums in general) I suppose I can get away with this kind of question, although I'm sure there's a good chance this has been asked before. But first, I'd like to thank the AGD for helping spark my interest in the traditional adventure genre, which now holds a very dear place in my heart, and may be in some way part of my desire to become a game designer. I'm not sure if you can revive the adventure genre en mass, but you certainly influenced me with the two King's Quest games, so thank you.

Now, all along, it has been supposed that Quest for Glory II will be a 2004 release, even before it got a date. You guys have said 2004 all along, but I think it is time to re-confirm. My impression is that your efforts have moved the project past the half way point, but exactly how much past the half way point, I can't tell. Still, I think at this point, you should be able to assert whether the game will actually come out this year.

2004 has already been cut down to size. There is roughly half the year left, or six months. So, the question is, is the remaining work to be done on the game going to be completed within a four month time schedule?

And, just for fun, a couple more speculative questions you can ignore if you like. What percent of the game is done, and which quarter of what year do you expect the game to ship, if you want to get specific.

AGDI will be cutting it close when it's December 31, and beta-testing just started an hour ago.

Let's just put it this way, QFG2VGA will be out WAYYYYY before Quest for Infamy. I think they'll even have time to do the rest of the games in VGA (including 5!!!hehehe)

Well, we no longer give percentages or accurate estimates, but 2004 is still the target.

Erpy, I've said this before and I'll say it again, you have an amazing, almost politician, way of responding to a question without answering it.

Believe it or not, but being able to post replies without actually answering was indeed one of the mod qualifications.

And people complained my posts had no meaning.

And I don't think Relight's the only one who's dropped the hint about it being ready for xmas.

Are we talking about a very close and solid target, or a very far and liquid target?

Like Erpy said, we can't give accurate release dates because we really don't know how much longer it's going to take.

There's still alpha and beta testing to go, both which will take a few months. It's quite possible that the game may not be released this year. But then again, I can't say because we're not close enough to completion to make that estimate yet.

Read the FAQ guys, it's not just there to look pretty; it serves a purpose!

Does anyone else think that Clay Aiken is creepy? I'm afraid he's invisable and watching me as we speak.

Nah, Fantasia's mouth when she belts out her song creeps me out more. It's like it's going to open up to reveal an alien head!

the first version probably will

in a few months after that, they'll probably release a polished one (after the players find all the bugs)

at least that's what I figure

even if they don't, no matter, they are doing a good job so it's all swell and jolly ;-)

We can't help it! We're too excited!

LucasFan · #18 Post by **LucasFan** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 5:40 pm

Heh heh heh. It's already available, girls! I've downloaded it from Kazaa, half a year ago. It came in a bundle with Kippesoep's Space Quest 2 remake and LB1VGA.

PS.: Oops!...I Did It Again. Sorry!

LucasFan, you're such a character.

My, what a service. A fine sample of the period when we still gave release dates, as well as a fine sample of the reason we stopped doing it and all in one post.

There's one thing I wonder about...

Is LF:

a) Behind in the times? (the shot's from version 1.0)

or

b) such an overachieving fan of us that he has every version of each of our games on his computer?

Ooh, can I volunteer for consumer testing?

Relight · #22 Post by **Relight** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 5:51 am

I believe that when we enter the beta-testing phase, there will be an announcement on the website / forums at which time you'll have to submit an application to be a beta-tester.

Heh. LF's a fan.... really. He's just mischievious.

Behind in the times?

Heh, aren't we are all more than 10 years "behind the times"?

Only 256 Colours?!? Arrrggg!!! (Right Click & Save)

If he is, I think we all would want more overachieving fans like him.

You're cutting it close. Will QFGII hit this year?
