This was an AMAZING project, with amazing people - who all have a great sense of humour. I'd love to work with any of them on other projects as well. This was just to have fun, in our community, and showcase some of our game work.

I also think it introduced a lot of us to each other in a capacity which we've never known each other before.

I think HOIK is really funny, and part of it's charm IS that it's choppy and such. The voice work is awesome, and my "joke" about the Turban came off funnier when I heard it in the voice pack.

That said - yes, animators are probably the most needed for projects. It's time consuming work.

I just love it when I hear complaints from "Skilless" people, as well. If I was charging you $40 a pop for the game, yeah, I could understand your bitching. But for getting a free game that did nothing but entertain you..... I'd say you need to wipe better, because your ass is chapped.

Anyway, thanks to all who complimented, and a special thanks to the SSS team. You guys were amazing.

Hehe! "The Turban!!" was an instant classic, and feels like a nice running-joke for SSS.

Was fun... was amazing, actually, how fast we were able to put this together!

The site (unfortunately) won't be online until the end of the week (at the earliest).

Yeah, that was a really nice joke, so much that Striker (the voice of the Old Man) became known as THETURBAN!!! in the herocia forums. :lol

Hey, I was the one who submitted it!

It was truly funny yet annoying to see some of the 'noobie' responses. :p

I loved the Turban joke, I made him say it about 5 times.

Reptile I don't think that is an entirely appropriate comment, but thats just my opinion.

I woulden't say anywhere near 'appropriate'. Take a look at this for example:

'You meen QGi is dead? And kQ3 VGA too? :cry :( :( :( :( :( '

If you get by drift?

Thanks to AGDI for being helpful, we couldn't have done it without them. I wasn't really banned, but I was mostly lying low to pretend I was.

Boy this Prank was so highly invested with the site and the game and the overall collaboration, that is like presidental level prank, "pranklin delano roosevelt" or something.
great work.

If the game wasn't so crappy, I might have believed the joke

. For example, if the backgrounds were more unified and other things like if the text boxes were redone and not the original AGS format. But you're right. It was a lot to put together in just 1 month and you guys did an amazing job. Well done. It was nicely played, too. Well-planned ahead of time. And it is a good way to advertise the other various projects.

*eats 2 cookies!!* (I deserve 2! 2 I say!!)

I didn't believe it was seriously supposed to fill the shoes of projects like Hero 6 and QFI, but I certainly thought the merger bit was real. Got me.

Quest For Glory Fan · #119 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 3:50 am

I thought the announcement was a bit sketchy so I knew something was up but I could 't play the game or even ckeep informed well enough to enjoy all this labour that you all put in. great one guys. Special thumbs up to cain for taking suc a big one for the team.

You fooled me (in case that wasn't obvious already.)

Yeah, I don't think this was funny at all. But, glad it wasn't for real...
