There isn't really anything to see yet but it does have a forum you could go to.

A word of advice: make sure that something can be seen before you post word about it on other forums. The way you have posted it, can easselly be seen as "spamming" . . .

Evidently so. XD
I hope this project actually turns out successful. I have high hopes for it. MoE has been in need of a remake for a while... And why do you have a filter to change K Q 8 to MoE? It's funny, I have to admit.
Because some forum members *cough*Storm*cough* feel that Moe should never have considered part of the KQ series.
I kind of agree with that, but only because the game ended up so radically different than it's intentions. It's sad that we can't get the game in it's original intended form. If roberta had had her way with the game, perhaps KQ would still be made commercially today. But MoE really isn't that good of a game, though it does offer quite a lot of quotes and hillarious bugs and easter eggs. In some regards, I suppose Mask when out fairly well. I mean, all of connor's famous quotes ("Lo, what's this, a FEATHER?!" "'Tis Beyond my reach!") are just funny.
I enjoy it for what it is. Although I do agree they alienated the fanbase quite well. If it actually had a good ending maybe people would like it a little more.
I should probably finish it someday....It is so NOT a KQ game though, not really.
I just found this when I was coming to mention that I'm starting the K Q 8 Project! That's my site. ive been posting on other forums trying to get some help with graphics.
look here:

(replace MoE with KQ8) if you want to help animate and re-draw Connor.
expect screenshots if we get good submissions for Connor animations and drawings!

Didnt you meant (replace MoE w/ KQeight ) ???

King's
Quest
8, replace MoE with the bold letters in your browser.
All because some bloke(s) here decided to force his/their thoughts and believes onto the rest of us . . .
This sounds really promising. Is it going to tie MoE to the other games more and is it going to be more puzzles than action?
this forum is whacked cuz u type k-q-8 and it changes to MoE.

well, it won't have much action/ violence/ gore. the most it will have is click ur sword on someting and it's all automatic and not gory.
it will be close to the original unless people want to change something or add something, they can post on our forum.
also join our forum if you havent alredy. :)
I've already joined, and the project shows a lot of promise...

Kinda makes me scratch my head at the PURPOSE of a remake then...
I have joined, but I see PirateKingChris' point too. If it is a point and click action game why do a remake? ??? I guess I wasn't clear in my question, is it going to hold to the original Kings Quest fundamentals of adventrue strategy puzzle game. Or is it going to be a point and click action game?
Or maybe I am just confused? :P
Sorry.
MoE original was not point and click. this 1 will be. it will be easier to use and less violent. many other reasons too but these are the top 2 reasons. it will be simalar to the original in storyline.

Actually, it's more because the majority of KQ fans do not consider Mask of Eternity to even be a KQ game, much less the 8th in the series. Instead of continuing to mislead people, we treat MoE as what it is -- a game in its own right.

Personally, I don't really see the point in remaking MoE and keeping the original storyline. It would be much more enjoyable if you remade it into an adventure game, and connected Connor's character more with the Royal Family of Daventry. There are plenty of way better action games out there, so I doubt you'd be doing anyone a great disservice by leaving it out.

If people want to call it K.Q8 rather then MoE, then they should be able to do so regardless of what the majority thinks of believes. By doing differently and thus forcing an opinion onto others is a dangerous line of thought . . .
Well the majority of people here don't consider it King's Quest 8, so we call it MOE. That's all Yonkey meant.
if anyone here wants to help add to th storyline, put requests in th "extras" forum on our forum.
(Posted on: September 17, 2008, 07:20:52 AM)
im going to have a poll on our forum and maby some other forums if it should stay true to the original or if it should be new storyline
By original do you mean what was written and conceived (Which was hacked down considerably to what MOE became.) or what MOE was at publication?
I think the general consensus of this forum would be to see what was originally written and conceived. (Without the fighting).

that is most likely what i wanna do. i want to have lots of th same puzzles, but not all th same as the publication. if you want to help w/ somthing, join th forum.
As I have stated in the other thread on this, I think it's best if the remake follow the original conceived ideas that were thrown out the window...
i agree.
I am looking for info right now. :)
See now THAT game I'd play!

What about QfG -style combat?
idk :)
I've never played Quest for Glory, but I'd say keep the game as close to Roberta's intentions. If those intentions include combat of some kind, perhaps incorporate a different type of combat system than in the finished product of MoE.
yes, i hate the combat in MoE
It was an interesting take on combat though. instead of point and click, point and attack lol. but it really was awful. I do admire that they used Olde English when they spoke. That at least made the game playable so I could hear all the funny quotes...
The old English was a nice touch and my brothers loved when you drink from the fountain in Daventry, near the mill, just to hear him burb. I still don't understand what is so funny. I guess it must be a guy thing. ;)
Well to me the things he says kind of make no sense. And the "Tis beyond my reach" line is just awesome to me lol. At one point he says "Lo, what's this? A FEATHER?!". I'd have to replay the game in it's entirety to collect all the quotes. I have saved several games right before quotes that I like. For example, I have a save game right before you meet Azriel Lord of Death. I love that scene, I don't know why lol. Though you have to admit the game has very good music. Sierra should've released a soundtrack in my opinion. But to get back on topic, will this remake include music at all? If so, will it be original music, or music taken from the end product of Mask?
there are tons of hilarious stuff Connor says! ;D ;D
definitely. That's why i partially like mask of eternity (I like it for the quotes, and a bit of the graphics, but I don't like the fact that you have to fight and stuff...)
i really like th original as a game. its not very king's questish ;D
Yeah, as a game in general it's pretty good, but in terms of it's relation to King's Quest it's not so good. Though the final version of the game was littered with bugs all over the place... I remember my dad ordered three copies until we just stopped. Then a few years ago we saw a copy in EB Games and we grabbed it It wasn't until recently that I learned of Patches lol... And playing Mask with cheats is actually kind of fun. Have you ever tried it? They have an easter that can only be unlocked by cheating. It's a costume where Connor is in his birthday suit... check it out, it's hilarious...
voice auditions part 1 just started. check the site !!!
Great News!
it will have music,
1 of my friends is doing music w/ this program called finale. ::)
I can't wait to hear what the music sounds like!
I posted some preliminary music on the site. it still needs to be equlized and stuff, but it has the basic tune.
I'll check it out in a few minutes!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that we will have a live KQCast on TalkShoe.
I will answer Questions about my MoE remake as our main discussion.
It will be awesome. I will say when it is, as soon as I know! ;D
(Posted on: September 26, 2008, 08:11:07 AM)
it will be: sat, 27 7:00pm eastern.
Darn, I missed it. How did it go? Did you get any good questions?
Sadly no. Adam coul'nt be on, and noone called in. it wasn't planned ahedof time.
That's too bad. My advice is get a little bit more well-known first. Wait until a decent number of people know of your project before holding any types of events like that. But that's just me...
Go to the forum, there is a new member of the team, snophira (she likes to e called sno) a new writer for kq8!!
Im confused with the plot. ???
erm, was that a question? I don't understand, sorry, anyone know what he means?
