KQ9 and KQ2

[Storm]

Erpy!!!
My favorite Tierra moderator! about time you got here
You're absolutly correct about the multiple writers problem - I heard the KQ9 team already had a difference of opinions about the story, which caused some problem for them... :-/

I wouldn't mind seeing a different "vision" than the one in KQ2+. It might be interesting...
Also, as much as I did like the Wookie's story, the idea of "The Father" being the head of the BCS and causing each and every diseaster in Daventry didn't appeal to me very much, since I didn't like the concept of a head-villain-mastermind, and since the BCS itself isn't that big on the original games.
I guess it works better if "The Father" is introduced in KQ2+ (and maybe appear in other remakes) than put him in KQ9 and pretend he's been there all along

[KatieHal]

It would kinda be like the movie version of Clue:

"That's what could have happened; now here's what really happened!"

;-)

Haha, that'd be a fun thing to do with a computer game - fake-out endings, or maybe the outcome honestly beign different (as in the bad guy and everything) depending on the player's actions. Has anyone done that?

...if not, it's mine!

Right now the Father is "sewing the spell to cause the heart to slow", in other words, Graham's heart. Now I'm not spoiling too much, but the beginning of KQ4 is basically when Graham starts suffering of old age problems, so maybe the Father will be more prominent in that remake.

[Storm]

I think he'll be more busy unleashing that dragon on Daventry for KQ3...

Ok, I feel I need to reply here.

However, is hard for me to bring up my point of virew because that would reveal the story of KQ9, which I don't intend to do.

However, I must say that there's definetely no father at all in King's Quest IX, and I don't see it as a problem. Essentially, now that I learned that Father is pointed as founder of the BCS, I miust say the KQ9 and KQ2 stories clash, and a lot, but there's nothing we can do about that. I just expect that you guys can see it as two different stories and enjoy both.

haha, and you guys were so close to getting him to squeal!!

I Don't see any reason WHY the 2 should co-incide wich each other.  In fact, I'd prefer it if they conclict in many ways.  WHY?  Becuse that way, we get to see more ideas, and it makes things more interesting.  They are two diffrernt fan games that just happen to be spun off of the same series.

Think of it as fanfiction (even though it is, but on a higher level).  People have different views on certain things.  Different imaginations.  Now, you don't just go reading one authors fanfiction about a certain subject do you?  No, you read many.  Why?  because it's fun to see different ideas.  They may not agree with your ideas about that subject, but that doesn't make you or them "right".

Besides, If stuff from KQ2+ WAS in KQ9, it'd take away half the fun.  Yeah, it would be nice to see a continuation of the Father story, but I'd rather hear it from the one who whote it in the first place, and not someone else.  That way we see it as it was intended to be seen.

And anway, dom't you all WANT to see the original ideas of the KQ9 team?  The more, the merrier.  Plus, we get to see more of KQ9's secret plot that way (the way it was intened, and will be!)

As I said before, I consider KQ2: RTS and KQ9 as two completely different things. KQ9 will tie up loose ends left from the original KQ 1-7 and MoE (yes, I deny the fact although it is clearly stated on my box too). KQ2:RTS has gone a different way starting from KQ2 so the rest of their remakes will have to be done accordingly.

Now let's be fair, NOTHING could be that horrendous!! Even an MOE rewrite

Further more, a MOE rewrite couldn't be worse than the original!;D

[KatieHal]

Touche ;-)

[Rosedragon]

:lol

I was right when I thought that Morgeilan was the Father! yay! About MOE, in some of my fanfictions Connor makes an appearance, I give him some dimension and personality however. Got to work on my fanfictions, I've been a little stuck.

[KatieHal]

Yeah, poor Connor. It's not *his* fault he got stuck in a hated game. :-/

[Rosedragon]

Connor's voice in kq2 vga is even more obnoxious and nerve-grating than it is in moe! I didn't think that was possible! I could barely stand to listen to it. If he talks like that, no wonder people want to kill him!

[copycat]

I'm a pacifist, whihc is why I don't want Connor to be killed. As far as I'm concerned, he can just stay up there in his Realm of the Sun beside his cherished Mask of Eternity and never come down again. I think that's punishment enough for his violent actions.

[Cez]

agh!!

Why do these guys release the voice pack AFTER I'm done with the game?

As if I have a lot of time to go back and replay it! (cries)

Now I want to play it again with voice!

(keeps on crying)

grrrr

[Yonkey]

lol

You definitely have to play it with the voice pack.  It's amazing!

[copycat]

Yes, then even you  can be mad at the voice they gave Connor.

[Storm]

I think Connor's voice in MOE was worse... and at least in KQ2+ you don't have to hear it as much!

[Kurdt]

I didn't see any MOE Easter Eggs. Where are they? I want some.

As for KQ9 and Tierra stories, I'm starting to get somewhat annoyed at the people who believe that Tierra is God's gift to fangaming and anybody else who tries anything is just not good enough. One person on the Tierra boards even went straight out and said to me, "If Tierra were making KQ9, it would be out by now." I most definitely know that is the last thing that Tierra wants as well as the thing that every other fan team hates. I can already forsee people criticizing our game because "that's not how Tierra said it goes." That's total horse hockey. I mean, yeah, our stories are somewhat divergent, but you know what? It's fanfiction(squared), like everyone else says. I just hope the amount of people who berade us for being different from Tierra are small in number. We are truly in the process of creating an excellent game, IMO, and it will be an experience even for me to play it. IMO, anybody who decides to cheat themselves out of the experience simply for coming up with our own concepts can just take a long walk off a short pier.

...and should carry plenty of heavy rocks with him to get the job done sooner.

I remember that post you mentioned. I'm glad he apologized afterwards. It's okay to favor one team over the other. People can have their preferences. But when fans start "Tierra vs. (insert other team here)"-discussions, things get ugly and this positive little trait called devotion suddenly becomes a negative thing. (so I generally try to keep negative talk about other projects off the forums)

Since most fan-projects have overlapping fanbases, the typical "us and them"-talk tends to result in the loss of fans on both sides.

I shudder when I recall all the "Hero6 vs. Tierra"-threads that have been started within the past few years.

Maybe you should try Sierraplanet

I'm sure Kimmie won't mind.
