I'm not to happy with KQ8 MoE its a nice game but it just doesn't work with the KQ title. I'd like to see it remade. I'd remake it myself but I can't draw. I can write story line and music but thats it. Does any one know where I might able to start. I don't like Adventure Game Studio I can't stand the DOS environment. Does anyone know of a windows based creater that is GOOD and FREE!?! All others i've found are horable or to complicated. I'm off the subject though so would any vody else like KQ8 MoE remade? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":\">

it would be hard to remake it without severly altering it - if you just plain remade it as a non-3d game, it'd be a crappy adventure game. you'd have to redesign all the lands, redesign the story, and make more puzzles etc. but i think it could be a fun fan project. AGS is a great system, and it does provide windows compile. Featurewhise it's full, it's user friendly but powerful and easy to script, there's a whole community of people willing to help you (and CJ to add new features for you). also I don't know why you hate DOS, dos is cool all the sierra originals were dos. I think most people would tell you the same, that other engines are either incomplete or they just aren't as good as AGS.

Ok maybe I should have rephrased that. I find AGS hard to navagate because you can't just go and look in your folders and find what your looking for... Well maybe I just need help with the program it's a bit over whelming. I was using a product from Click Team ( <a href="http://www.clickteam.com/English/tgf.ph ...  ) The Game factory. But the trial period ran out and I didn't want to pay $29.00 and get some features but $49.00 for all the features was a bit much. I was gonna get Multmedia Fusion but thats $99.00. Any way it's not worth it because if you go and pick up an object and place it in your inventory then go to the next screen and go back the object is there again. I'd just perferer not to use AGS by myself. I'm planing on doing LARGE changes to the story line (if I do it) to make it fit. I had that part taken care of done worry the main story is the same but their is different stuff thats ganna happen. Does that make since? There's only one thing I don't know. What's the main charcters relationship with the king of daventry. It seemed like peasents quest to me. Oh well I'll deal. You said some one might help me? I'm willing to hear you out. My best friend said he'd be willing to draw backgrounds and characters (no anamation) and I can write music (MIDI) but it's the working with the program I can't get. I've tryed using AGS before but I'd rather not again. AHHH <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"> Oh and one more thing. I'm into both Seirra and Lucas Arts games and the one project I've got a story line for at the moment is a Lucas Arts style game, can AGS use the interface of LEC games if not is there one that can? Thanx, I'm all ears. coasternd DeLamon Interactive/DeLamon Music Studios Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/ucoasternd.sho ... asternd</A> at: 1/17/02 3:42:06 am

>I find AGS hard to navagate because you can't just go and yes i agree with you there! there are def. things about ags to be improved, especially in the interface - but i think the advantages beat the disadvantages, after you get used to it. yeah, you found all those game engines that cost too much. FREE is good! kq8 is a peasant's quest... but don't change it "alexander's long lost brother" or something, that would be just cheesy. AGS can do LEC style interface, in fact, it can be any interface you want, if ya program it. once you've got everything together, if everything looks good i'd be willing to do programming for ya in AGS... or by then you might find another system you like, or you also might find some more people to help you out in other ways too. cheers.

HUMMM! "When you say once you've got every thing together" what do you mean??? All the backgrounds, music,and story line? Those u'll be done. I've been looking into writing Monkey Island 5 ever since 4 came out so i'm mostly working on that. I looked over the players guide to KQ8 and it seems more complcated reading it than playing it... I might reconsider making over. I think i'd just write a new story that would take it's place KQ8 The Kingdom...Blaa blaa blaa. So since i've decided to work on MI5 for the time being I'll understand if you don't want to do it. Thanks for all the help. The DeLamon Interactive web site is up temp. it does not have all the pages at this time just the important ones <a href="http://delamon.tripod.com/">delamon.tri ...

Well to be honest MOE wasn't REALLY KQ8 it was more like an addon, to see if they COULD do it like that.(they couldn't) It was in the same world, but not the same story. Hey, but it was worthwile anyway. to see that world in that way...It was something alright. So like all ideas it was good, just not as King's Quest.

Relight · #9 Post by **Relight** » Sat Jan 19, 2002 3:05 pm

but besides the objections of what the 3d engine lacked, and the plot lacked, and the gameplay style (heavy combat), - it wasn't even that you got to explore kq lands in 3d. it wasn't the same as daventry we know, and none of the other lands either.

BigBadMojo · #10 Post by **BigBadMojo** » Sat Jan 19, 2002 7:51 pm

That is true, but a guy can dream can't he? Maybe someone will make a MOD for it more King's Questy=>

coasternd · #11 Post by **coasternd** » Sun Jan 20, 2002 1:58 am

I WILL redo KQ8 it WILL have a differnet story, and it WILL stick to what KQ stamds for. Maybe they didn't call it KQ8 because it hade a differnet story.... duno.I'm working on Monkey Island 5 right now so KQ8 will stay on hold... I WILL do it though! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> Relight, do you like LEC games? Like MI IJ Monkey Island Indiana Jones.
