Fun with MoE

[StephieSama]

I've been playing Mask of Eternity lately. (I'm trying to finally finish it. It's been over a year since I stopped. I had just gotten to the swamp when my monitor stopped showing green, so all green showed up as black. Once we got a new monitor, I just had no desire to play it anymore.)

Anyway... I've found it very interesting to put the computer on mute listen to very girly sounding songs while Conner is running around killing monsters. The most interesting is to listen to a Sailor Moon dub CD; my personal favorite for this is "Carry on." Some how it seems to fit Conner very well.

Lol! Serves him right!

I like to play techno seasame street tunes, while Conner runs wild through the land killing everything so merrily...I recommend the add-on pack that makes him skip, wear a Rainbow Bright uniform, and use his piece of the mask to play frisbee with Mario

Ah, too bad there aren't any mods for MOE. I would have tried the one that makes it look like a real KQ  

[GunHoMac]

Ok KQIX team...get to work on those MOE mods...I'm sure you have lots of free time, it's not like designing a real KQ game would take that much time and effort....I don't have time myself, I'm too busy downloading movies *click click click*

Storm, what graphics engine does MoE use?

[Storm]

What am I, the high authority on MOE matters?  

Alright then...

P. Jong: The 3D game engine used in Mask of Eternity is known as 3Space. 3Space is based on two design tools called TED and ZED. TED is the terrain editor previously used in Sierra On-Line's Red Baron, while ZED, which is based THREAD (a shareware Quake level editor since brought by Sierra On-Line), has been thoroughly enhanced to support enhanced color texture mapping. Combining minor features taken from engines used in previous Sierra On-Line titles Cyberstorm and EarthSiege, 3Space allows 3D level design to be rendered on the fly and in both interiors and exteriors simultaneously. Features such as colored lighting, transparency, and shadowing are all supported. Supported 3D video cards include: 3Dfx Voodoo 1, 3Dfx Voodoo Rush, 3Dfx Voodoo 2, 3Dfx Banshee, Sierra Screaming 3D, Matrox Millennium G200 AGP, STB Velocity 128, Real 3D Starfighter, Diamond Viper V330, Rendition Verite V2200, and Diamond V550 Riva TNT.

For marketing reasons, Mask of Eternity is also advertised as "Roberta Williams' King's Quest: Mask of Eternity" and not officially as King's Quest VIII in order to avoid detracting adventure novices who have not played any previous King's Quest titles.

The last paragraph I added just for fun

I don't really know anything about graphic engines - it's all quoted from from this review.
The rest of the review is complete rubbish though. "Mask of Eternity is the most beautifully designed King's Quest to date" and "Fans accustomed to 2D based adventure games will be pleasantly surprised with Mask of Eternity."? what has this guy been on? not KQ, that's for sure.
Besides, any site who gives MOE a higher score on plot than KQ6 is out of my book

[FataliOmega]

Mods for KQ8? Come on now, whats broken, fix. Whats horrible shattered beyond the capability of repair, discard. KQ9 is the right idea.  

[Louisiana Night]

If I had the game, I might try it(only partly changing the graphics, not the whole thing).

[etgadsby]

Good luck dude...  

[Louisiana Night]

I'm just trying, to find something to use 3Dmax with.

*continues learning how NOT to get collision detection to work*

[Jeka]

What do you think of king's quest 8?
