FINALLY!
we have a space to discuss everything related to the features kq9.org provides to fans. www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/journal (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/journal)
In first place I wanted to let everyone know that we do have a special section for directors and assitant directors to keep serious post, progress, some interesting stories and a lot of unspoken things you dont get to find out so easily, its a great feature that is being kept updated as it goes, and to keep informed on it you can either wait for the monthly update and newsletter or continusly check the feature OR just hang around here where you can freely discuss the current post or something you would like to see discussed in there.
Anyhow, the new thread of journal is open please feel free to comment your thoughts on the current posts, and such :)
If I read Chris Matuszewski's jounal post correctly you're abandonning Crystal Space for the Torque engine, right? (or isn't this certain yet?)
Does that mean that Crystal Space is no longer a required skill for programming positions, but knowing how to work with the Torque engine is?
Thnx for the information Chris! ...I was just wondering 'cuz I would like to join (or try to ; ) the programming department once I graduate
I don't know anything 'bout either engine so I was curious which one I should get to know better. I'll keep my eyes open ; )
wheee!! new journal updates!! ...I especially love the conversations!! thank you Cesar!! ; )
huh? why do i only thank Cesar?? ...cheers for the whole KQ9 team!! for doing a great job and provide such a great fansupport!! ; )
*gives cookies to all*
YAY one update !!!, woohoo ;D, Thanks KQIX Team ;B
The conversation helps explain how Alexander will be in KQIX ;), I was wondering if it would be like that ;D
Im glad you liked the journal entries :D
btw, I opened this thread and you can consider ask the directors about specifics, (sort of like what cesar did with the explaining of the name, someone actually asked and he went and made an entry with it) you can also suggest ideas, or ask them directly, even if the other directors are not around I will address you request personally to them ;-D
Thanks for the journal posts, Rich & Cesar! :D
Nice dialogues... Graham should have a talk-show ;)
It's nice to know that conversations here are being heard and regarded ;D
but of course... as long as I exist I shall annoy the crapz out of other directors for it... I MEAN... be the link of conection... and stuff hahaha :D
Yup me too. If there's a question someone asks that I don't know and would like to know, I usually find the respective director and ask them. But, if someone asks a question and the answer's a spoiler... :suffer: Hehehe ;D

i was the one that made the Thread asking about the name ;B
Hee. I personally never really expected an "official" response on the matter... I just like talking about Alexander. ;) 8) Getting to read a few of the conversations was very cool, though, gives a nice little snippet of the "feel" of the game.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Ok i have just one question ;D, will there be a KQX ???
perhaps...
*waiting for Racx to make KQX* ; )
regarding to PFO (http://www.tsl-game.com/info/phoenix/) they say that they will continue making games in the future... just not which gamez ; /
Im not making the KQX game >:(
haha!! Im going to wait for cesar to get online hahaha :D I'd love to see him have a heart attack when he reads that question :D hahaha <3
I don't think THIS team is going to make another KQ after this one. They said KQ9 is supposed to tie all the loose ends and be a conclusion of the series, so there'd be little point in making another KQ. Plus, they'll probably want to make their own original games rather than keep making fan games ;)
Good, Im glad you are going to make a game from scratch ;B
Keep up the good work ;D
Quote from: César_Bittar on April 02, 2004, 01:41:23 AMFor now, I'm happy to finish KQIX and continue working on the script for our next project ;)
You began working on a new project already? :o
KQX: Out Of the Mouth of Babies... Comes Nothing But Rabies.
XD
Okay, okay. KQX: Out Of the Mouth of Babies... Comes A New Realm
So theres definitely going to be a new project after this one. Care to give us any idea as to what your considering? I doubt you'll tell us any specifics since nothing is set in stone and you prefer us to "suffer"... but can we atleast count on another adventure genre game? Please say yes! :)
Busy brainstorming for a subtitle, Bushie? XD
Anyhoo. AFAIK, the KQ9 team isn't going to make another KQ game. Doesn't mean that nobody will, though. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
i think he was referring to the fact that they should make another adventure game even if it isnt a KQ ;) :S
...or any game, cuz i thought they wanted to make non-adventure games too (could be wrong though)
yeah, me too. I play strategy games too, but to be successful with that you really have to be competant. I must admit I doubt a team that just finished an adventure game could build and balance a good RTS. You really have to be a strategy game fanatic for success on that one. 8)
...back to topic...
The journal has been updated!! yay! thnx neil!! :lovegoggles: ; )
Yay! ;D It's good to see a bit of a summary of how things have been going. ;)
Nice Journal entry ;), luckily i had sleep today so i can read it ;D, unfortunately i didnt sleep yesterday due to a major head ache ; \ :'(
omg yeah! nice journal entry :P you all got an invitation for tomorrow! :P plz attend ;)
that would be 21:00 to 23:00 greanwhich mean time (GMT)
en van 22:00 tot en met 0:00 voor de nederlanders (en allen die dezelfde tijdzone delen ; )
That will be about 5:30am to 7:30am for South Australians ;D
That's 23:00 to 1:00 here ;-D
Just thought I'd post here to say both Mike & myself have posted in the journal in the last few days, so go check it out! :)
Some of the cast list is in Mike's! And mine has some good milestone news for the team! ;D
It's great to hear that the script is finally finished, polished, done...!
I kept forgetting if it had been publicly announced, but now we all know for sure!
GO TEAM!
XD
Definitely, congrats Writing team on finally finishing that beast! XD
And voice recording is starting too! Can't wait to find out when we get to go. (Although I kind of hope ours is in July or September... August might be a bad month. :-[ )
Now that I think about it, I do have a couple questions.
1. Who's this David O'Neill fellow? :D
2. Can Mike sing a few of Alexander's lines? (I know, I know, I'm dreaming! ;D )
Peace & Luv, Liz
yay!! it is good to hear about the progress that is made in the writing and voice department ;-D
Exciting developments like this are... well just that "exciting"! Good job folks! With luck we'll keep all the good work up!
I was just reading the cast list in the journal and I can't remember...who is Atroll? Maybe it was just a troll? The rest of the names I think I recognize. I don't want anyone to give a spoiler or anything, but who from KQ7 was Atroll? Thanks.
explaining exactly what he is would be a spoiler. But he's really from KQ7, only inspired by it.
He's "A Troll" ;)
Thanks Cesar! I was just curious. That was the one name that I couldn't place. Just A troll.

At some point they'll likely show the NYC auditions, so you can get opinions from someone who isn't biased in the matter. ;) In the meantime:
Random samples (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=562;start=20#msg11863)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Oh my, Jeysie, I don't think I've ever caught a sample of Harrison speaking! We definately wouldn't fall asleep listening to him!
BTW, has anyone else noticed that we have not been told who has been cast as Valanice? Is it because she hasn't been cast or because she plays such an intrical part to the plot, they're not telling us who it is? :P
Cat
I found the omission of Valanice's actress a bit odd as well. Hmm.
As for Harrison... unfortunately his voice isn't as sexy as Yonkey's ;) but I still find it agreeable to listen to. :D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Yay! Great journal entries! :D Now to hope Mike gets enough time in his already busy life to finish converting those audition tapes... ;)
Allert and I have just posted two new entries in the Journal! XD
Good to see! It's great having 'Official' notices like that, and updates/thoughts/opinions etc... Time to make them more regular. ;)
*whips Grundy* ;D
Give us something to write about and they will be. ;P
Personally, I'd kind of like to see some progress report-esque stuff. Not anything detailed necessarily, just a general summary of how each department is progressing. (I know you mentioned in another thread that you were waiting until things got more settled to do such a thing, but honestly, if you want ideas for journal entries, well, that's my idea. ;) )
Of course, fun anecdotes on what it's like to be a KQ9 team member would be cool, too. Hey, weren't some of the other NYC visitors going to write up NYC stories at some point too? ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Heh, it's funny that you mention the progress thing, because I was just discussing that with Say a bit earlier tonight. We decided that we will post more progress updates soon. XD Preferably in the Journal, but if not then at least the Forum.
As for NYC stories... that's up to the discretion of the Directors that went. XB
I've just added a new entry to the Journal and there will be another entry added soon. 8)
*imagines the graphics*
Everyone! Download the Torque demo (or Tribes). :D
P.S. I THINK Starsiege Tribes used an old version of the engine, but I'm not completely sure. :-\
*pretends he's Alexander in a race car* ;D
ahhh, It's nice to hear there's progress in the programming department and good to know things are catching up :D
Whoo hoo! Glad to know that not everything has to be "reinvented" in order to keep the game on track. Keep up the great work, guys!
Yay!
Great job everyone! :D
Nice work with the update all!
the journal has been updated again
Wow guys...I knew ya'll were busy, but I don't think it hit on HOW busy ya'll are. I just want to take this time and say "thank you" for dedicating so much time and effort to this game.
lol, that's just cruel!! teasing us with something special in december!! :P
hahaha, but it is good to know KQ9(.org) is doing so well :D
I made an entry in the journal because I felt I had to say something about some of the things I recently read here.
You can check it out you know where ;)
César
thnx for the journal entry César! :D ...I wish I could see those things you were seeing ::) :P
it is great to hear about the progress :D
QuoteAnd, after one big announcement that we plan on doing soon (And again, stop bugging the web department cause they won’t tell you), I will come here personally and give you more facts. So… be good boys and girls or I will make you all suffer ;)
hahaha :P, that part was cute/fun lol ;)
Thanks for the update, Cesar. I had a feeling ya'll were further along than we (meaning "I") thought. And while I don't know everything that goes into making a game (I just know it's a TON), ya'll are doing a wonderful job getting it done. Thanks again, and everyone, keep up the great work! ;D
Great journal entry. :D
Hehe cheers for the Nice update cesar! In the future when anyone asks about anything we can just point em to that rather than just using Mr Suffer :P
*likes the latest journal entry, could use a bit of ketchup though* ;)
I made a new entry about the soundclip we uploaded ;)
Now tell us about your thoughts on it! We've just opened a thread specifically about the soundclip over here (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=2106). :)
Cesar just posted an entry about Rosella in the Journal. :) For more information, check out this Weekly Poll (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=33;action=display;threadid=2303). 8)
I just posted a new entry in the Journal (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/journal)! XD
Thanks Neil! Yippeeeee !!! :D !! :P 8) ;) :) :suffer:
As mentioned during KQ9.org's 3rd Anniversary chat, there is now a new Journal entry which talks about team progress. 8)
When are you guys gunna post another entry? I just went through and read the whole journal again to see if I missed anything important...and I haven't! Please, I know you're all busy, but I'm excited!
