AGDInteractive - Sierra Adventure Game Remakes Forum

One of my fav AGS games got released today, Ben Jordan 7 - The Cardinal Sins. It released just a day off from the release date stated a month back.
Your thoughts on it..

Now the only games I am waiting for are..
1. Quest for Glory 2 VGA - Rumored nearing completion, although no release date fixed yet.
2. Apprentice 3 Checkmate - This would have been my No.1 awaited game but for the fact that the production is completely on a halt for the past one year and even estimated for the next year or forever..
3. King Quest 4 Perils of Rosella - Not much info on it's progress but by the developer's last comment, the production has slowed down considerably and they were talking about some contest & demo..
4. Police Quest 2 VGA - Only heard about this remake but no ideas on it's progress or if it's even ever going to happen.

I suspect it's a ways off, though.

You are a member on their forum I will take your word for it No progress update have been posted there and even the designer journal on the site has been suspended since early 2008.

I'm also waiting for Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge remake - I believe it is in it's Alpha testing stage.

Where'd you get that information? I'm just curious as I'm on the SQ2 Remake team.

FROM: Blackthorne

So, I was playing the last Alpha Build of Space Quest 2, and as I watched the game unfold - I started to think about things.

So I'm hoping that it will be moving on to Beta testing soon..... But then all the available Beta testers might be too busy with Quest for Glory II VGA

I wouldn't expect to see it in Beta stages any time soon (sorry guys) but we're making some great progress! We're still in the very first stages of Alpha, meaning the game is playable from beginning to end but expect to keep saving every so often to avoid bugs and see some unfinished or WIP sprites as templates whilst playing.

But there isn't much left to do, all we have to do is finish a few sprites and animations, edit a few scenes and implement a few ideas we've been talking about like Easter Eggs for example. When it comes to Beta testing, we're going to be taking some extra special care to ensure we don't release something buggy like we did with KQ3. Of course, that was the plan with KQ3 anyway but we'll know when the product is completely finished and ready to ship... I meant upload!

Oh I thought when Blackthorn said he was playing the last Alpha Build Alpha testing was almost complete, not that he was playing the latest Alpha build... Can't wait for this to come out

Blackthorne is a very silly man and not to be trusted. That's all I'll say on this matter.

I'd even go so far as to say that Blackthorne might not even be a man...

When I played your remake of KQ3 I got stuck (meaning: not being able to move) in a lot of places. Fortunately, the magical map would help with most of those problems. I think I installed the second release with bugfixes. Hope those path bugs got solved, or will be solved in the future, because the game was a blast!
Except the part about cliffs, damn cliffs. <-- rolls off the cliff
I'm looking forward for SQII. Hope it looks like the demo. Well, not sure about that.
