It seems like I would know this... but..... about how long is the first chapter of TSL?

I think I remembered hearing it was comparable to KQ6 in length..... but then I thought that might be all 3 chapters.....

so I have no idea.

anyway, yeah.... about how long is it compared to another KQ game?

I think all the chapters together make it the size of KQ6. Each chapter is a portion of the larger game. Did you follow? It was a long night.

Episode 1 is indeed a shorter episode than the rest, but it's a great episode and it sets the stage for what's to come. I played through episode 2 last week and it's about 3 to 5 hours long, depending on the player. The rest of the episodes also fall in the same category of 3 to 5 hours long. All together, it should be a 12 -15 hours experience, or more, depending on how you play it. I'd say the size is a bit longer than King's Quest 6 altogether.

One big difference between King's Quest 6 and The Silver Lining, however, is that The Silver Lining has about 1 hour of cutscenes spread through the 5 episodes, between the fully rendered and the in-game cutscenes. So, expect a very balanced cinematic experience.

I'm like, an adult now or something? Sounds fake, but okay.

Thank you, Nifty. That is what I was looking for. You hit it right on the head.

right.... so there are 5 chapters and they will all be released some time this year right?

ok.  sounds good.

I'm excited for it either way!  too bad I won't get to play it until a few days after it comes out....

You're welcome.  :)

I actually had to go trough my old posts to find it. It's one handy quote.

I don't think there's any guarantee that they will *all* be released this year. I don't think there's a definite schedule for the other episodes - just in the near future.

I believe Cesar said in a previous post that they're hoping for about 3 months between each...BUT do not quote me on that...

Cesar said 1-3 months. My guess is that episode 2 is probably closer to being finished than the rest and might be released after only 1 or 2, but for the most part, a 3 month wait is a logical time to expect.

Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg
