Yay, Mike Art! Of course, now my response on the pic is in the other thread...
Oh, and I suppose you might want to unsticky the Sketch of the Week thread.

They can have all the fancy sized pop-ups they want without causing problems for people who surf without javascript-enabled and/or are addicted to their right-mouse-buttons. Plus it cures the weird cursor problem. Win-win.
I am many things, but "Subtle" is not one of them. ;) "Annoying Pain in the Ass" is, though.
Peace & Luv, Liz
we will take in mind your notes
Out of curiousity... is the game going to be in 800x600 res, or was the background "miniaturized" for the gallery?
Peace & Luv, Liz
If you do the game 4096x3072, I'll buy that res monitor just so I can experience the full effect. ;)
Quote from: Jeysie on February 17, 2004, 03:28:46 AM
Anyhoo. I'm almost tempted to use that background as my desktop wallpaper. I could, like, tuck the icons in the balcony part or something. ;)
I'm already using it as my background ;)
OK, you convinced me. And my icons do indeed look very cute sitting in the little balcony. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
The game is a full 3D engine, therefore you will have the option to choose your resolution. I have tried the current build of the game in 640x480 up to 1600x1200. It works in all of them.
Oh, and regarding the balcony, Chris Ciocan drew the sketch, I just painted it. I don't really draw anything for the game, I'm just the colorist. Kind of like the inker (you're just a tracer - you trace the lines that someone else draws!) - for those of you who get that reference ;).
I think his sig should just read "Glue." Because without him, the team and prject would fall apart!
Hear that Mikey? You ain't allowed to quit :)
It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's...
Supah Mike! :D
...btw, what's a shrinker?? :o
shrink? a psychologist, isnt it? lol

You know. The guy who, when anyone misbehaves, they shrink the person and stick them in a cage for everyone to laugh at as a reminder to everyone else to do exactly as the Head Dude says.
Peace & Luv, Liz
HAHAHAHAHAH <3
YAY!
Say is my fan!!! And my ex-girlfriend!!! and my coffee-maker!!!
I won't quit. I couldn't even if I wanted to.
:P
LOL, well cesar, now you're propagating your own rumors outside the mailing list about yourself and Say...no one else to blame this time! LOL!!
And yes, without either of them we'd fall apart and be hopelessly lost. Not to mention cause of the stuff they know and don't tell us ;-) (*even me!)
Everyone I got to meet in NYC is supah cool, so you all get <3 from me. And Say and Yonkey also get <3 too. And everyone else on the team, er, well, you're cool too, I just haven't seen you post enough yet. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
lol, thanks Jeysie! Yeah, our team AND forum members are all supah cool! I'd say that the "glue" is really everyone here. :) If any of you guys left, we would definitely not be the same without you. 8)
Well, we'd have a lot less in-jokes and running gags, at least...
Peace & Luv, Liz
Yeah, most of the gags would barely even limp along, never mind run. ;) Plus, I love the very... interesting... topics we have around here. ;)

BWT katie, he loved that rumor since day1 lol :D
I dont think he regreted it at all, in fact, he's been proposing to me ever since... and NO CESAR WE ARE NOT GOING BACK OKGOOD :P
ME? wanting to go back??? you've been the one begging me!!!!
That's true, Cesar. I expressly forbid you quitting. You try and I'll get medieval on your ass!!

Can I ask a silly question? What's <3 ? I have no idea what that symbol means. I'm sure it's something very good ;D. Please enlighten me. I have a hard time with acronyms beyond LMAO, ROFL, LOL, BRB, and TTYL. Beyond those, I'm pretty clueless.
LOL! Turn <3 90 degrees counterclockwise to see Say's love. ;)
I vote we make the web folks add a heart "smiley", just for Say. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Yeah, we need one of those. ;D
Hello,
Does anyone know if one of the screenshots of Graham is located in Eldritch (unsure of spelling) from Kings Quest 7?
Very cute, Bushie! Although the smilies are so small that it makes the heart eyes a little hard to make out. :( Hmm. Any way around that?
I could mock up a little heart icon, although I'm not good enough to give it a pretty 3D effect.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Thanks! Hrm, I dunno about making the hearts easier to see... but I added another icon too! ;) Can't figure out how to make it 3dish tho. :P

Welcome tommyguy! :D
All of the Screenshots (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/media/screenshots) are actually from completely new lands in KQ9. :)
I <3 these new emoticons Bushie! Thanks ;D
Hehe, no problem! They were fun to make. ;D
:lovegoggles: :lovegoggles: :lovegoggles:
it did save me some work :P <3
;D Glad you like! <3
what is the name of that place where the balcony is
Sorry graham, you'll have to wait for the game to come out to find out! 8)
There is a new Art of the Week now posted! Finally you guys get to see a sample of our 3D artists' work. Enjoy! :D
NICE!!! AND 3D!! ;D
But isn't he supposed to have a tiger on his head or something? ;)
Yonkey - you can cancel that thing that closes the picture if you click on it. We can aim at the little X just fine, thank you 8)
Ooooh, cool lookin. ;D I like. <3
OooOooooOoOoh!
Verreh niiiiice!! ;D
Heh, for some reason, seeing his cloak reminded me of Loom - I must have old games on the brain lately! :-\ :)

Brand spanking new Art of the Week now posted! Check it out! :lovegoggles:
W00T! XB
Awesome, I love it! Looks dang realistic too. <3
Yeah, that ;)
And now I have a new wallpaper ;D
like the druid ;)
A new Art of the Week has now been posted! XD I even forgot when the team did this little guy. ;P
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
We could make a killing selling these little guys in pet stores… :D
Unless he’s got any bad habits like eating people, then the pounds would be full of them… :o
wheee a mutated something!... I just love the guy (or is he a girl, in which case it's a she and not a he so I shoudnt say he instead of.... I stop now ; ), looks really sweet...
he is sweet isn't he?

I'm amazed you don't know the Dangling Participle from KQ6!! :o
You know, the little guy that talks like Yoda? ;)
And HE is not in the habit of eating people. At least, not in KQ6 - Alex was lugging him around for a while there and he didn't try anything... but in KQ9? who knows? ::)
*tries hard to remember... but fails to do so*
<sigh> too long ago.... my best guess he was at the isle of the beast.... wansn't he related to the book-creature ; ( ...well, Im (re)playing all KQ anyway, so he'll eventually shows up I'll guess ; )
hmmmm, woudn't suprise me if was actually the big mean bad guy in KQ9 ...you'll never know with those creatures.
Quote from: B'rrr on March 08, 2004, 02:41:53 PM<sigh> too long ago.... my best guess he was at the isle of the beast.... wansn't he related to the book-creature
Yep, you got it ;D
BTW - you can finish KQ6 (the short way) without ever seeing that guy ;)
Without seeing the participle? How??
Quote from: KatieHal on March 09, 2004, 11:31:49 AMWithout seeing the participle? How??
You forget... you only need the participle if you want to get the spell book.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Quote from: Jeysie on March 09, 2004, 12:29:16 PMYou forget... you only need the participle if you want to get the spell book.
Yep. You'd be amazed to see how much of the game you miss if you go for the lowest possible score ;)
Ohh...huh. I didn't realize that! I thought you found him either way. Even when I played for the lowest score possible, there were still items I ended up finding that I didn't need to use.
I love KQ6! Random, I think not! I love the dangling participle...but didn't get it until I got into HS English! I don't think that my family and I ever finished a KQ game without a hint book. Even if we all (talking about five of us) gathered around the game, we'd get pretty far, but, especially for the later games, we'd miss something and not be able to finish the game.
Cat
Hintbooks good, a little bit of a rip off I guess… lets’ see game costs $45 - $60 plus up to $15 for the hintbook. Isn’t the advent of easily available walkthroughs and strategy guides on the net wonderful?
But...if you get the hintbook (like we did) for the first six games...then you have bought all six of them at about $45 each...*doing the math* comes to $270...
but then, we didn't have the internet until 1998, I think, so it was totally useless before. We had to have the hint book...and I do enjoy all of the stories included in them :P
Cat
Back on-topic -
Will we ever get to see a model with the texture already on it (that is, BEFORE the game is released)? ???
Patience!
The Art of the Week feature is actually a rotation that repeats itself each month.
Because we launched the site half a month into, we repeated the rotation, but there are two different types of art coming.
:)
Yay! Participle dude looks cool. :lovegoggles:

well thank you, Cesar has already answered this, fear not, wait yes :P hang in there
A new Art of the Week has just been posted! :D This should make Storm happeh... ;P
wow...that's weird...weird as in I have no idea what it is! lol. But it's also cool! ;P
Cat
OH YEAH!! VERY happy ;D
Is the title "ferryman" correct? if it is, you seem to have taken it very far from the black-clad, hooded ferryman in KQ2, KQ6 & MOE :S
You know what they're doing, Storm, don't you?? They're pulling our legs. They draw/digitalize random pictures and post them...BUT the pics have NOTHING to do with the game. They just want to see how we'll react! lol ;D
Cat
This is ONE of the two ferrymen from Swamp-a-Lake, in the Dreamworld ;)
Two?? :o
And how is he a ferryman? ;) I thought they all wore dark cloaks. ;P
'he' looks more female then male to me. Are you sure it is not a ferrywoman?? ...or is it a fairywoman? ; ) ..ehhh forget 'bout that ; )
I think it looks really nice ...so about the other one ; )
fairyman ? :P hahahahah nevermind me I was never here :P
More nice work! Honestly I’m not sure I’d want to meet him in a dark ally, those big fingers and sparkly eyes… he might make me join the Care Bears or something…
Then again I tend to gravitate more towards folks in black cloaks…more my my sort of folks! 8)
Fear not, there's a dark-cloaked ferryman as well :D. Cesar, am I allowed to tell them that? :P
Looking at him, though, I think I need to add a little more shadow on his wings. I'll just never be satisfied ;).
How nice, I'd hate to think the game was in no way morbid… that would be so sad… :'(
Ah, good, so the other ferryman is a bit darker. I guess it amkes some sense to have a whimsical yet strange being to be a ferryman for the Dreamworld, though. ;)
Quote from: etgadsby on March 15, 2004, 01:55:45 PMHow nice, I'd hate to think the game was in no way morbid? that would be so sad? :'(
Hee! The game should be at least a *little* morbid... my demented sense of humor demands it! ;) And there had better be cool death scenes... I need to add to my screenshot collection! :suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz
Quote from: mfortunato on March 15, 2004, 12:13:36 PM

Darn, I was just about to say that :-\
It figures, with all the duality going around here... my guess is that many things, maybe even the entire world, would have a dark and a light side. It shows very well in the screenshots and background art ;)
Yup, duality's huge. ;D
I'm not sure if anyone said it explicitly yet, but this site's design does reflect some of the major themes found in KQ9. If you notice: not everything is bright, and not everything is dark. Just like in KQ9, duality is key. :)
Morbid... there's a lot of morbidness around. Just wait till you see the Stone Castle. or a certain school of Dark Magics... wayyyyyyyyyyy morbid :)
and yeah, like Neil said, Duality is the key in this game. Everything is like two sides of the same coin.
:)
And there's this huge beanstalk and this giant fairy princess and there's a huge evil looking castle and a giant hairy evil beast-like monster who's planning on controlling Daventry's population of corn - there will be no corn left in Daventry! How will they make the tortillas for tacos and salsa! AY AY AY AY AY AY!!!!!
btw - except for there being a castle in the game, nothing I mentioned above is true (like you didn't know that already) :P
Stone Castle? Is it dark? Is it creepy? Is it for sale? I'm looking for a new place...
BTW: Neil we need an evil/morbid smiley
I second that request! MWA HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!!
Hahahah! <3 OMG I LOVE IT! !!!
Hahaha Say's gotta see this! ;D

A a giant hamster of DOOOOOOM!! :o
XB
As for that smiley, it's dang creepy. ;)
I like it!
Now César about that castle, I’m ready to make a serious offer $500,000.000 buckazoids if I can settle in the next 30 days!
It's not for sale.... yet.
Just wait till we release the KQ9 action figures and other KQ memorabilia.
We'll even have a Say doll!
and a César doll. Press the belly and it'll fart.
lol
Oh dear, what pray tell will the Say doll do? ???
What kind of action figures? Decapitated Connor? Connor with sword through stomach? Play-doh Connor with mold for smashing and smashing again replayability? Or maybe the special five pack= The Royal Family takes Revenge on Connor? All could be huge marketing successes. ;D
I'd fork over the money for those...now when will they be on the shelves???
Cat
LMAO! OMFG
he farts and I would say... "omfgwtf" ? hahahaha :P
btw I liked that smiley lol and yeah eric is right, we'll keep that in mind thanks :P (the evil smiley)
AHHHH!!!! *runs from scary smiley monster**
Oh oh! What will my action figure do?? Correct Cesar's grammar??? ;B (since his first language isn't English, I do a decent amount of grammar corrections in the script, hee.)
Oh oh!! But I know mine'll say "Weeeeeeeeeeeee!" !!!
Pull the string on the back of my figure and it says stuff like, "KQ 8", KQ 8 is the best thing that ever happened to the series",and "Connor is the man." ;)
I'm sorry for what I said in the previous post. :'( Do you forgive me?
aww its ok... we may forgive you, for now :P
Well, we might...but we can't speak for Storm. :o
Rats -
I tried to post and put my smiley back up but it told me the file already existed. And so my post is now gone. :(
I don't even remember what the heck I wrote.
Double rats. Rat Fink. Rat b****** (will that get edited?). Rat Soup (ewwwww).
Where's CopyCat? Perhaps his posse can take care of this rat problem?
Aww, sorry about that Mike. I hate it when the forum does stuff like that to me too. Especially when I write a huge post and then it vanishes! >:(
Oh well, I guess now we know you can never attach the same file twice, or you'll pay dearly. ::)
So you gonna add my smiley? hunh hunh hunh???? he he he ;D
It was real "nice"... I mean I liked it... add it please Neil! !!!
we need a sprite though, not a jpg
Quote from: Say on March 18, 2004, 06:14:47 PM

tried converting the smiley, but a bit of the evil was lost when I went down a bit with resolution. ;)
(http://mason.gmu.edu/~alight/evil.gif)
Yea, not so evil any more… so sad…he had potential…is it back to formula? All the same evil smiley seems necessary with particular with the group. That’s my two cents!
We want evil! We want evil!
As the old beer commercials said;
“Thank you for your support!â€
Wipeeeeeee! Dangling Particilple is in the art of the week! Nice work! In my opinion him and rotten tomato should team up, but then again tomato is with stick....hmmm. AND
If the ferryman looks liek that and thats the same ferryman from KQ6 you people have lost your marbles!(in a friendly way..no offense) :suffer:

This week's Art of the Week has now been uploaded! Go check it out now!!! :D
Hey, the Green Isles really has become green, hasn't it? ;) And I still dig Graham's switch to blue jeans. Probably one of those rugged guy brands, I bet. :suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz
Hahah, I thought the same the first time I saw that. The odd thing is the plants in the picture aren't green! :o ;D
Perhaps a topiary experiment gone wrong?
Seriously the 3D folks have done it again, I want to see it shaded!
Give it time, you will see it textured. I'm finishing up some other set pieces now and will start on that shortly.
Thank you, but I didn't do the modelling. Rich did the modelling (and a damn fine job, I might add). Like I said before, I'm just the colorist. I'm one step above a tracer ;)(kudos to those who get the tracer reference).
Heehee! Tracer! ;B

All the art we’ve got up right now is awesome! Wish I where that talented! You all rule…

The new Art of the Week has now been posted! It's a day late, but well worth it! 8)
Wow, that's....really dark! I know what it is, but just wondering - is that my computer, or is it suppoesd to be that dark?
It's really dark on my screen as well, so I'm guessing that's they way it's supposed to be! Dark and creepy! :lovegoggles:
haha, nice, I recognize that one from the Tierra remake.
Very, very nice pic... the detail is great!
Peace & Luv, Liz
Tierra's remake?
umm... nope, I don't think that's it.
Hah, no, though Tierra's KQ2+ remake also had a creepy basement, this is not it ;-) And now I remember why it's dark! I believe you've got to find a way to make it not-so-dark before you can get to do anything in there. :suffer:
Dark? Creepy? Ah how lovely, now that’s my king of art. Can I buy it framed?

I think it's so cool...definately dark though...however, it's a basement! The graphics/definition of everything was amazing!
Cat
hmmm.... it's dark on my computer too... I guess it is supposed to be dark.... perhaps you need (another) torch ; )
...looks cool though ; )
Looks great ;D, very creepy ;B
New Art of the Week now posted! :lovegoggles:

Not to get off topic, but the art given to me in the spoiler was exquisite. I recently went back to the e-mail and the link to it was dead. Can you please tell me how to get it back?

Interesting... those things look more like monstrous skulls than oysters 8)
Looks sort of like Murray from MI3… ah MI3… so cool but so unstable… (the game not the skull)
Basement=creepy but awesome, toothy-oyster-skulls look a bit disturbing. ;)
No one is going to get a pearl out of those things! ;)

This week's Art of the Week is now up! XD Anyone recognize it? ;P
....already?? :o :o
hahaha.... I wouldn't recognize anyone from the KQ series, cuz i haven't played all of them.... he looks like a creepy guy with red eyes to me ; )
hahaha.... looks very nice!!
hes freaking horrible :P
but hey great art ;-D
Sexy! Can get his #? Or perhaps we should put him (it's him?) on one of those dating shows, he clean up!
Weeee! :D Storm wins a cookie. ;P
YAY!! :D

Hmm, chocolate :)
A new Art of the Week has now been posted. 8)

i love it !!!
yay!! more graham in the isle of the crown!! love the art! thanks kq9!!
*gives cookies*
*does happeh dance*
Looking good! The question is...why is King Graham on the Island of the Crown?
Cat
There are reasons... (hums innocently)
Damn... Alex and Cassima have really been doing some decorating in there. I assume that's the primer coat? ;)
And the little Graham walk icon is so adorable!
Peace & Luv, Liz
Well, since I don't the plot to the game, I'm just taking a stab in the dark, but I'm assuming that Graham is not there just to visit his son and daughter-in-law!
Cat
hmmm, we did have the same discussion in 'chessboard land' though (or was it spit into another thread, can't recall)
o well.... have to wait for the plot to arrive
*waits*
CESAR, i think you mailed it to the wrong address ; (
yeah he never got them to me either >:(, what happened Cesar ???, where are the plot spoilers you were going to send us ??? :suffer:

et tu Neil?? et tu?? :o :o
*freaks out*
*sobs*
all i wanted is the plot... is that too much to ask for??
The new art looks great!! very authentic :D
Thanks for spotting that icon, Jeysie - I didn't notice it the first time I looked ;]
I see Graham doesn't have his shirt tucked in anymore! is that the final look for him? to tuck or not to tuck... that is one heck of a silly question :P

Hahah, I have no idea what the final look is for him. All I know is that the artwork isn't textured (nor Graham), so it can't be the final look. ;D
Actually i have 5 email addresses so maybe Cesar got confused :-\

The new pic reminded me of the debate about Graham's clothes we had after the screenshots came out... I think the shirt should be untucked myself. It worked in KQ5, didn't it? 8)
I'm looking at somethoing you'd drool over if you'd see.... :suffer:
Anyway, the answer to the question, as seen in what I'm seeing is untucked.
And yeah, like Jeysie said, Graham there is not even textured. That's a very old shot from our first engine. Not even the walking button will look that way. :)
Hmm. Drool in an art appreciation way, or a hormonal way? :suffer:
And... awwww on the walk icon. It was so cute!
Peace & Luv, Liz
It would be safe to say that even drooling in both ways is not enough to express my feelings about this piece of art. But if you behave, you'll probably get to see it very soon ;)
Oh, but I'm always a good little girl!
(polishes her halo)
Peace & Luv, Liz
None of the pictures or screenshots include Alexander or Rosella :'(
Are you trying to torture us ???, or keep there identities a secret ???
Their identities are not a secret...b/c we already know who they are! ;D
Cat
I vote for torturing us... since he/they know how many Crazy Alexander Fangirls and, er, Crazy Rosella Fanboys there must be around here. ;)
(Either that, or they haven't finished up their models yet.)
Peace & Luv, Liz
I vote for torture too! !!! Aww, this isn't a poll? :'(
;P
Yonkey, why not *make* it a poll? Heck, it could be the next weekly poll!!
"Are we being tortured by the lack of Alexander and Rosella screenshots?"
-Yes
-Yes
-Yes
-All of the above
i vote for torture because every1 around here enjoys it :P :suffer:
Awwww, the dark ferryman wants a hug.... ;)
The castle model looks great, I'm guessing it is the Green Isles castle as it looks very similar to the room right before the wedding scene. ;)
Yeah i think it is the hall before the wedding scene ;D
well, now you know what I was drooling over previously in this thread. Of course, the art used as cover for the inventory 14 :)
*drools too*
...oops :-[
*whipes keyboard*
yay, we understand now why ; )
Hee, yes! And you were right, Cesar, that does indeed qualify as drool-worthy in *both* ways. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
This week's Art of the Week has just been posted! XD
Hey, I can't believe you guys posted that pic! :D
Peace & Luv, Liz
This week's Art of the Week has just been seen! ; )
looks really nice!! ..is that the oracle at the well (with graham)??
Mortal, you need not speak... :suffer:
I suppose I can say now... I actually saw a concept sketch for this one while I was in NYC. Interesting.
Peace & Luv, Liz
...what more have you seen, have you taken pictures?? ; )
hey Neil, you have 2222 posts, nice number ; )
Wait, am I slow or something? Where is this 2D mockup?
(sigh) On Mike's computer. In NYC. As I said a few posts up.

Oooo, Graham is meeting the KQ6 oracle!! :D
I wonder what he had to do to get an appointment with her... Or maybe they just gave him a free pass for being the king's father :P
Looks like the oracle had a diet... I remember her being much bigger standing over Alexander in KQ6. The pool was bigger too, or at least higher :S
Hmmm...to play devil's advocate...how do we know it's the KQ6 oracle?? ;D
Cat
well... if is's an oracle... it would be the KQ9 oracle... not the KQ6 one ...cuz it is a different game ; )
Quote from: koko_99_2001 on April 26, 2004, 08:07:22 AM
Hmmm...to play devil's advocate...how do we know it's the KQ6 oracle?? ;D
The wings are kind of a dead give-away... unless the oracle has a sister (or a daughter :P). Putting yet-another winged oracle in the KQ series wouldn't be very original (see MOE) 8)
Well, true...but we can still say that we do not know BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that it's the KQ6 oracle!
Cat
You're right... but knowing everything BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT before you play the game wouldn't be much fun ;B
Hence my saying I am playing the devil's advocate :suffer:
Cat
It is KQIX and Phoenix are making the game so they could alter whatever they want ;)
They have altered Alex ;), havent they ???

Well said! ;D
Well, if I just had to say my two bits.....Most of the Oracle's size in KQ6 was her wings. And her hair. She had hair. I must say, I kind of liked her better in KQ6, she was much more imposing. But that was partially the angle. And I'm assuming its the same oracle here, anyways.
Still, that's an AMAZING piece of art! Good job!!
It looks great, if slightly demonic without the texture. ;)
Well, don't forget QC, our Oracle is untextured and uncolored in that picture - she may yet be imposing and mysterious! :)
Well, here's hoping she's imposing and mysterious! The only time I've ever been impressed by a non-imposing and non-mysterious oracle was....well, never. The only impressive thing about the one in the Swamp in MoE (from watching my brother play the demo) was that it was a tree that could digest gold. Which, I suppose, makes it mysterious.....
A new Art of the Week has now been posted. This is definitely one of my favourite scenarios! :lovegoggles:
Yonkey, you need to check your link... you forgot the j in .jpg. ;)
Sweet pic. No idea what it is, but it's cool. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
quick link till Yonkey fix it (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/media/artweek/aotw/stone.jpg)
*tries link*
:o :o :o ...looks great!! :lovegoggles: :lovegoggles: ...reminds me of the 5th element somehow ; )
I really like it too! ;D I think it looks fully 3d already, amazing work! And I love the surreality. :lovegoggles:
Looks great :D, but i think i have seen it b4 :-\
*confused*
Wasn't it in the Inventory? I'll have to go back and look again...
Anyways, its awesome! The ship in the background reminds me of Peter Pan. Heehee!
It looks like an elemental puzzle... but maybe that's just me playing Zork Nemesis for too long :P
Does "scenerio" means this pic wouldn't be a game screen itself, but a 3D screen would be based on it? ???
That's really cool looking but it also looks like a really evil looking puzzle... :o
The nice thing about this pic is that it already looks so 3D that the 3D version will look extremely close to it (well, that's my theory anyway).
And, yes, this should be one mother of a puzzle ;).
Oh, and I had nothing to do with this image. This was done by a very talented artist who is no longer working with us. Nothing bad, she just had too much other work to do.
And, it's funny, it does remind me of 5th element too! :D
Looks great !!! Very 5th Element-y
[size=0.5](Now what the heck is it?)[/size]
Don't you know what the 5th element (http://imdb.com/title/tt0119116/) is?? :o :o
...anyway it looks like inside the piramide with 4 elements outside the circle and an 'altar' for the 5th (leeloo) in the middle
What? As if I wouldn't know what the 5th Element is! :P I'm just wondering what the Art of the Week picture is.
I, um... (counts) fourth the 5th Element thought. Though somehow I think it'll be solved differently. ;)
I wonder what it is, too. Whatever it is, it's creepy, I like it. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
Y'know - I've read the script 4x and I can't even remember what this thing is!!!!! I guess it's time to make a fifth trip through the script.
....hmmm, i could help you figure it out.... there is only one slight problem... I don't have the script yet... there is something wrong with my mailserver or so... could you please try and send it to me?
thnx!!
....sorry, I didn't meant to send them to you ;-D ...but it's alright, you can keep them ; )
Hahaha, Rob! ;P
It's so kewl reading about how a particular scene or background is described in the plot, and then seeing the Art team actually sketch, draw, colour, paint, model, & texture them.
That's one of the reasons we loved the whole concept behind the Art of the Week, because it shows the whole process that a piece of artwork goes through. Well, static artwork that is. ;P
Judging by some of the stuff the writers are making the artists need to pull off, they should all file for hazard pay. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz

Oh, yeah,
Bet your life this IS the mother of puzzles!! I believe this is the hardest puzzle in the whole game. It's so freaking hard I even forgot how to solve it!!
(of course, I'm just kidding about the last part ;p )

Welcome to the forums Grundy!
Hooray! Another Australian, bringing the grand total up to three :) :P
Awwww.... Only 3 Aussies? There's gotta be more!? ???
Three that I know of: racx_00, you and me. I suspect there's a secret underground Australian community on the forum, slowly plotting takeover, but don't quote me on that ;P ;D
Welcome to our forums grundy!
I do remember you from AGDI :D!, nice to see some people from all over ;-D, glad to have more fans around! hope you enjoy it around here, feel like at home! :)

Welcome Grundy!! hope you will become a regular here ; )
WELCOME GRUNDY!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoy posting with us loonies!
and with us non-loonies too ; )
If you read my profile, I'm sure it says City and State. ;)
Oh, and I go for the Swannies! But they've lost their last 3 games I think, lazy bastards.
As for spiders, I have them all through my house, White Tips, Long Legs, Psycho Crab Spiders, you name it and it brobably breeds in this place. ( No, I don't live in a shack, Actually a nice new House, but you learn to live with them, they keep the mossies and flies away. ;D)
Sorry to detract from the lazy Swannie bastards XD... but a new Art of the Week has just been posted !!! :)
We were planning on showing a different piece of artwork this week, but decided to give you guys a treat of textured art instead. ;D
Nice mapping work, the textures seem a tad 'plain' though. But I'm just picky when it comes to textures! ;B
They need a bit more variation in colour/contrast, they're a bit too red all over and not enough definition in the details.
Oh, I was just wondering, do we actually make comments, recommendations and crits? Or do we just look at them and go "oooohhhh.... pretty....."?
I just want to make sure that it's alright to criticise before I go and possibly offend any of the modelers. :D
no we are only allowed to say ohhhhhh!! (j/k) ..lol, i really want to play chess when i see them!! ; )
Ooo, I hadn't seen these in 3D before. :)
Well, they are red chess pieces after all, Grundy - I don't think there's too many other colors they can be ;) Lookin' you art folks!
As the person who painted the textures, I have to agree with grundy. They are a little plain. They also don't match the chess backgrounds very well, so they may end up a little more dynamic when they are placed in the scene. I painted these early on and I've gotten better. The chessland set is so vibrant compared to the chess pieces (since I painted the chessland set more recently).
Say, grundy, do you paint textures? Fancy a "volunteer" job with us? If so, please apply now!:D
Welcome to the forum, Grundy!! ;D
I don't remember you from the AGDI forum... maybe I should visit there more often ;)
Personally, I don't see what's wrong with the textures... they look very good, and so do the models :)
I just have a very keen and critical eye when it comes to 3D. :)
Excellent art work :D, i have been waiting to see the chess pieces ;)
Yay, Allert poked his head into the forums! <3
I don't know anything about 3D stuff (ducks), but they look pretty cool to me. I like the Pawn piece, especially.
Peace & Luv, Liz
welcome back Allert !!
...or should I say welcome Allert, cuz your previous post was way before i even got here... good to see you here though ; )
Actually, B'rrr... IIRC, Allert's from the Netherlands as well. He's got a cute accent, at least. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
awww, Liz, did you really have to say that? Mmmm... well ok,
he, B'rrr, hoe is 't? ff voor de goeie orde, weet jij toevallig iemand die enige 3d-ervaring heeft? We ziiten namelijk een beetje krap met modelers, en aangezien ik in midden in m'n eindexamen zit, en niet aan kq9 kan werken, weet jij toevallig iemand? laat maar ff weten...

cool to have someone around from the netherlands ;)

hmmmm....niet echt ; ( ...ik ben zelf meer georienteerd op het programmeren en heb geen ervaring in modeleren... anders had ik me wel aangemeld.
verder bestaat er ook niemand in mijn directe omgeving die kwaliteiten op dat gebied heeft... sorry

yay!! great to have someone else from the netherlands around here ; )
It's Allert! Yay!! Welcome back if briefly to the forums, dude! I miss seeing your awesome work!! ;D
All taht just to say that, B'rrr? Man. complicated language. ;)
yeah, we need a lot of words to say very little ;-D

A special AOTW has been posted in celebration of the second year of kq9.org!
We are talking about the oroginal art for the cover of the latest edition of The Inventory magazine!
Enjoy!
I was wondering where i can get bigger pictures of these.
Pic 1 (http://alianza.meristation.com/aventura/img/avances/kq9/kq9c.jpg)
Pic 2 (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/library/kq9/images/kq9.jpg)

Pic 4 (http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:Igt3zUuwmfMJ:www.quandaryland.com/crystal/KQ9_ferry.jpg)
EDIT (By Yonkey): Forum stretching ;D
Well Chris, I'm not sure quite HOW much bigger you want them but if you head over to the wallpaper (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/media/wallpapers/) section then you'll find the second link in a bigger form as well as some seriously cool wallpapers for your computer ;)
Also if you head over to the gallery section here (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/media/gallery/index.php?album=backgrounds) you'll find a larger version of the ferry (one of my fav pieces on teh site actually :D) along with more art which I'm sure uou'd beinterested in.
For the other two I'm not entirely sure...Anyone help me out here?
mmmm... well, I believe those are so old I wouldnt have a clue where to find them anymore, those are back at beggining of 02 I believe lol
This week's Art of the Week has just been posted! :lovegoggles: Finally we get a taste of grundy's work! <3
Awwww.... how nice of you... :lovegoggles:
I thought you'd show the textured version though, but I guess the textures will be different in the game anyway.
Well, a bit about the pic. It's a basement, wine barrels everywhere. ( The guy who owns it must be a drunk. ) It will be dark and dingy in the game.
Well, back to work.
( For those on the team, I'll post a final version of the next scene VERY soon. ) ;D
The final textured version may come later as an AOTW... or maybe as a contest prize... 8)
Anyone mind if I post a textured version?
Okay, I won't post the old textured version.
I'm actually texturing as I speak.
( I'm checking in on here while I render with different textures. )
So hang out for a few minutes, I may have a new screenie on the groups soon. ;)
EDIT (By Yonkey): Check your PM's. ;P
beautifulz art jon! <3
check your PM btw :P ALL OF THEM... lol you may have seen to forgot :P
LOL! I didn't forget, I just thought I was being discreet enough. :P
Well, you'll stop complaining when you see what I'm 'Texturing'. :-X ;P
Great ART!! hahaha, hope to see the textured version soon.... hmmm as a prize you said??
*runs off to beat every game* ;-D
I love the art of the week! Awesome work!

Does anyone have a screenshot of that KQ5 basement? Go ahead and try to compare if ya do ;) :suffer:
hahahha, thank you ;-D
Hehehehe Ohhhh tormented by thousands of suffers! Thinking about it now it reminds me of something else, and if it IS this *something else* im thinking of then its way cooler! Ill scuttle off to try and find screenies!
Hmmm. It does look like the same basement, if you kinda turn your head and squint...I thought it was the same basement too.
the good ol' days :lovegoggles:
It could possibly be, if they had the basement enlarged! At first, I thought that it was the basement in the castle...and as of right now, I think I'm going to stick to that...
Cat
Gee, was the basement in KQ5 always that small? Ah...the memories ;D I must have died in that basement a dozen times...what fun ;D
Hahahaha ok my memory must have enlarged it! Still its got the same kinda shape...
Quote from: Jollo on May 25, 2004, 09:46:59 AMHmmm. It does look like the same basement, if you kinda turn your head and squint...I thought it was the same basement too.

I like it, but the bed bothers me. It looks like somone's about to be killed/tortured.
It's Connor's new home. ;)
i like a waarm and comfortable bed, but this bed seems to be a bit too warm for my liking. It doesn't look comfortable too ;-D
Toasty! XD
Hey, you said none of the MOE lands are going to be in KQ9!! :P

Cat
Ohhhhh creepy! I like I like! Is it linked to Knightmary?? If it was then that would mean its linked to say in some way....does say sleep ona bed of coals?? omg so many questions!
i think Say sleeps on a cloud or something ;-D ...or perhaps that's only in my imagination ;-D
hmmm, i don't think anyone sleeps well on that bed :S
That fire bed would singe your hair :-\
well, I'm in need of a haircut anyway ; )
Rob, you don't need a haircut!
Cat
yes i would, my hair is getting way to thick (and a bit too long too) pictures can decieve ;-D
Well, the pics may deceive us, but still like them! :P
Cat
This is one of the scenes from the Nightmare lands. I don't think I can say anything more or Cesar will have my head or worse, my left hand - and I need that to draw and paint ;) - I need to sort out my priorities (that's a reference for Katie).
Also, Alex, it's NightMary, not KnightMary. As in "nightmares" - he he he.

Good pic of the model. Now I'm wondering how stiff his jacket/cape is.
Nice model! May be me just wanting to remember this from somewhere but he seems vaguely familiar...

Heh, didn't expect a pic like that.
Hmmm...didn't think that last time I played...but that was SEVERAL years ago. Can't seem to get it running on this computer so I can't go back and check...POO

It looks like that guy named Jollo :P
Jason, I'll let you in on a little secret:
[whispers] It is Jollo [/whispers]
Cat
YOU ARE JOKING :-\
Unfortunately he looks too much like Jollo so he cant be Jollo ;-D :P
Well, Jollo, I must apologize. I am SURE that I posted the guy's name in an earlier post, but, Jollo, I've completely forgotten it. Jollow, maybe if you do a little bit of searching, you'll be able to find it! ;D :P
Cat
Oh thanks anyway Cat.
I'm sure if I look around long enough I'll find it somewhere. Too bad though it's right on the tip of my tongue. ;D

Ooh, nice! :D Can't wait to see it colored. :)
I should add that this is one of Jon Grundy's recent work (completed a few days ago too)! XD <3
Thanks for the credit Yonkey...
I just saw that it was there, :)
It's my favourite scene so far, and turned out really well considering I had to 'compromise' a lot from the sketch. ;)
XD
That looks great :D
nice :lovegoggles:

LOL no, that was MoE. ;P

No offense to the artist, the pic's fantastic . . . but . . . eurgh. Spiders :-X
The new Art of the Week is now up! XD
One of the best pics yet, if not the best.
Cassima's room?
:suffer:
This is one of Grundy's art pieces. And if you say anything Grundy I'll kill you. ;P ;D
Can I mention the Whip? ;]
lol!
This scene is just named Balcony/Bedroom isn't it Yonkey? ;)
And who keeps deciding to post my work anyway! :P
LN, I was going to say that I didn't expect you to get a straight answer out of anyone...but they already gave you the "suffer" answer!
BTW, another awesome pic!
Cat
Mmmmm I like! I don't know if its just the lighting but this a really atmospheric piece, kinda Romeo and Juliet-esque :D

Yonkey hit someone else with the Wabbajack :'(
What, you don't think she's a cutie? Such a meanie you are. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
He turned her to stone :o
Oooh, pretty! I'd ask who she is, but I hate that curséd suffer smilie :P
Here you go Jael!
:suffer:
Didn't Tessa do this one Yonkey?
Grrrrrrr >:( >:(. Curse you, little smilie!!
No, it was actually done by Daniel. who's also from Venezuela. Venezuela rulezzz! :D
Another awesome pic.
One question: who's Atrella?? :P

lol, that's not stone, it's just "modelling" clay. ;-D

Ok, I'm blind because I don't see it, even with the ctrl+f feature. And I even tried looking this morning before I posted the question! Just call me blonde for today!
Cat
Yonkey's being indirect. ;)
Atrella's name isn't in the list... however, a suspiciously similar name is.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Ahhh, ok...I get it now. Thanks so much for your help, Jeysie!

That's why I said to read the journal. Ctrl+F... ::) pfft! :P

Okay, ignore what I said my name is. It's Boudreaux now(I've got another half dozen names to use, if I need them).

Haha, I guess I backed up the forums before posting about the AOTW. ::)
Thanks Louisiana! XD
And while he was at it, LN got three more new posts added to his post count :P
BTW, I think I said something along the lines of
"Awesome"...oh well, don't remember :P
Cat
With just minutes to midnight, this week's AOTW is now posted! !!!
I made it back in time !!!
Almost looks like a coliseum(the outside).
I think this scene was originally given to me to do... but I got stuck doing a ton of scenes Cesar had already handed out. LOL ::)
Who ever did it, it looks awesome, good work! XD
Allert did this one! :D It might even be brand new, because I've never seen it before until a few hours ago! :lovegoggles:
Should've known!
Allert has some awesome 3D skill! 8)
A completely awesome Art of the Week! Am I the only person who doesn't recognize the scene?? Must be one of the new places we're to visit.
/me waits for the

And another...no surprise there either!

Where is STORM?? SHe doesn't comment on Art anymore! I really loved her comments on the weekly Art Pieces.
STORM COME HERE AND COMMENT
*Cracks whip*
Three :suffer: to one comment?? Is that a record or something?? :P
This week's Art of the Week is now posted! Anyone remember it? XD
The only thing I can think of, is that creature from KQ2.
I know!
Fruit Creature! (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/media/gallery/characters/047_fruitcreature.jpg)
Look at me! I'm the creature!</mst3k>

Yes'sir! when you say 'Jump', I say 'how high would I have to be to take orders from you?' ;P
Seriously, the reason I stopped posting here is that all the Art Of The Week pics look so awesome I have nothing to say but compliments, and everyone else is already doing a great job at giving those... Plus I usually show up late and find that what I want to say was said already (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=758;start=440#msg64084) (though I probably wouldn't have used that particular phrase) 8)
As for this week's art - nice bright colorful contrast... very fruity ;-D

That phrase is even funnier in context. :suffer:
Anyhoo. It's quite simple. If you want to provoke Storm into commenting, you likely need to post art of either Edgar or Connor. 8) ;)

The new Art of the Week has now been posted! 8)
That one's amazing!
I know! :D I can't remember which texturist did this one (Allert?). I've been wanting to post a 3D Textured Character for a while now and it finally happened. :)
Oh OH! I know, I know!!
XD
Good work Mr. 'Anonymous Texturist!' :suffer:
:lovegoggles:
LOL! I'm not being cryptic, I seriously don't know who made it. ;D I don't even think it was posted yet. XD
Yeah, I don't think it was posted, but I saw it a week or two ago...
I've fogotten who did it aswell! lol.
;D
It's Ali, the bookstore owner from KQ6! it's such a good resemblance I didn't even have to look at the pic title for that :)
Mr. Anonymous Texturist did a great job, especially on the face 8)
I agree, the face is very nice. 3D faces have a bad tendency to look bland, IMHO, and this one doesn't suffer from that.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Looks great, Mr. AT guy :P
Nicely done!
Any closer to finding out who did it yet?
This one's done by one of our newer guys, Mr Nick Deligaris!
:D
Mr. AT is no longer anonymous! He's now Mr Nick Deligaris! Whoo hoo! Great job, Nick!
This week's Art of the Week is now posted. ;D
Cool, nice new AoTW.
Hmmm...that looks VAGUELY familiar :P
(and if I get the suffer smiley....)
Well, from the title of the piece and the pictuer itself, it should be fairly obvious what that is!
:suffer: <--for good measure nonetheless ;)
Katie's little miss :scholar:
It's called sarcasm, hun :P
Very good.
Obivous, but I'll say is anyways -
It's the top of the Logic Cliffs on the Isle Of The Sacred Mountain, and the entrance to the catacombs :scholar:
Or is it?? :suffer:
Anyways, it's awesome as usual... to whom do we owe the thanks this time? :)
Possibly Allert. Or maybe Ian?
XD
I think it was Ian actually but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyway, the new AOTW is now posted! !!!
Oh wow...now that's cool!! Love the headpiece!

To keep you guys no longer in the dark, I'll shed some light on the matter 8)
.... it was mine ....
(btw Neil and Croc Dundee, you should know (y)our classics :P)
I rarely remember who did classics. ;P
It's just the newer stuff that I remember. But to be honest, I'm not even sure who did the current AOTW, was that you too? :D
yes, I did the actual model (+ unwrapping), and Nick D. made the texture if I'm correct
:)
Cool. I was thinking about pro wrestling at the time, and I was like, "Oh wow, they modeled Hulk Hogan." Nice AOTW though.
One of the best ones yet. :thumbsup:
The Art of the Week has now been posted. 8)
oooohhhh....interesting!
That might be the best sketch yet. ;D
It's definitely a cool sketch, but it doesn't exactly scream King's Quest ::). It's still very cool though ;D
OMG it's horribleeee.... whoever who did that should be like... fired or something :P
as always, it's Cesar's fault... ;P
LOL! XD
:(
It's a bad sketch...
hahaha, oh yeah it's bad, horrible and stuff :P
I'm gonna have to join the bad sketch agreement parade...it looks like a gay Belmont from Castlevania
hahaha <3
this is gonna be the only art Im gonna let you bash around here in (probably cuz it does sucks har har), so enjoy it :D
again, blame it on cesar... :P
Yeah, Cesar never lets you show the GOOD stuff.... ;)
:-\ I think it looks good :D :P
/me thinks he stands alone :-\
and you better all think it looks good and die embarrased in shame, cause this little guy belongs to Say ;)
Now, all on your knees and apologizing, NOW!
I particulary always loved this art for some reason. Funny is how I got it, cause neither Rich or Say sent it my way when it was done. I only got a hold of it months later when I sucked (errrm) Rich's computer off (KQ9 Files! :P)
Now, I would love you guys telling ME who this guy is :)
We'll only tell you in around 7 weeks, so... may the suffering start. :suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:
*shrugs* It says guardian...
And I never said it looked bad...I just said "interesting" :P
Quotetell you in around 7 weeks
We all herad it! ;D
LOL at "gay belmont." Anyway, this really is a nice AOTW, once I looked at it again. The first time I looked at it, it seemed too Magna-ish to be Kings Quest-ish enough, but looking back at it it seems OK in that respect. As a sketch, it's great though. Nice work Say ;).
hahaha, booo Cesar ruined my fun :P
but it's ok you know... I agree with them ;P
Quote from: César_Bittar on September 06, 2004, 07:20:48 AMNow, I would love you guys telling ME who this guy is :)
My guess would be Connor. With a longer hairdo, obviously. (shrug)
Peace & Luv, Liz
It's Connor, yuck :stabs: :stabs: :stabs:
Not the sketch, though... the sketch is great :D and a big improvement for him ;)
Darn, out-posted again >:(
I KNEW I shouldn't look up "improvement" in the dictionary :P
he lost some weight :-\
Cesar: Ew. Not the AOTW, which I think is really nice, Say!!!, btut he thing about Rich's computer. Gees, dude! Get out more! :X
hehe, and I do think it looks nice, I enjoy the manga-esque drawing style when done well, which this is. :P Hmm... I'm pretty sure I know who it is. :suffer:
7weeks til what, Cesar??? I swear I never know what's going on around here til it's too late! :help:
The new AOTW is now posted! !!!
With the exception of his face, it looks EXACTLY like Jollo from KQ6.
*thinks back to what Jollo looked like*
NM, I don't even remember how he looks anymore. :-[
:thumbsup:
Coolio! Who's work?
I think it was by the same guy that did Ali a few weeks ago: Nick D! :D
The AOTW is looking great :D, even the ones i missed are looking good :P
I must say that I am very impressed with the artwork your team has churned out over the past year and a half (I may be more of sktech man myself but I do like good 3D rendering and yours it some of the best!)
Keep it up KQ9 team, the Great Shadowfax awaits the final product in awe!
Thanks, Shadowfax, and welcome to the forums!! ;D
Cheers Katie!
I must say that I have been made most welcome by quite a few people so far. Thanks everyone, its almost as if I have been here for ages!
BTW Katie, from what little secrets you and Cesar* have given away about the script I can say that I greatly look forward to your interpretation of the KQ storyline (I have mentioned on another forum that I am creating my own KQ9 adventure so it will be interesting to see how different, or similar(?), my variation will be**)
* Well, Cesar mostly!
**Probably won't be half as nifty! ;)
Thank you!! Hehe, yeah, I try not to give too many away myself.. don't want 'the boss' mad at me ;) But I'm quite proud of our script and can't wait to see it completed as a game myself!
Another KQ9! Cool! Any websites with work up? Good luck to you!
nice aotw!! can't wait to see those characters in the game ; )
Thanks Katie!
Sorry, no websites up but I am considering posting a few items of art/script on the various fan contribution forums so look there for any news of my project (sorry, I know I shouldn't be talking about my project on the AOTW forums but I had to digress...just this once you see...never to be repeated again...err...I hope!) ;)
This week's Art of the Week is now posted. :P Anyone recognize it? ;P
*raises hand*
Oh oh oh! I do! I do!
:o
Amazing!
Hmm, I wonder where I last saw that place. ;)
Nice work KQIX art dept. Once again, keep it up!
*raises hand* yay i know that one too ...duh ::) :P
Looks like someone forgot to turn on the fog machine :P
(chuckles) ;D
perhaps somthing has changed in the land of the green isle ::) :P
lol, that's just a 3D model of the background. The 3D textured one will have all the bells and whistles (not to mention look much less cubic XD).
Hope so, the place looks like it as been measured in cubits and took so long to build that the length of a cubit changed several times, therby ruining the nice lines of construction.*
*Okay,a bit of a poor joke this; a cubit is considered the length of the ruling Monarch's arm and it would therefore change whenever a new one ascended the throne...just in case no-one knew what I was on about!
The new Art of the Week has just been posted! XD
I LOVE this one! Who's work?
The 2D sketch was by Gab Mancini and the 3D by Tessa Cam! :D
Both were wonderful! In a way, we kinda got two Art of the Weeks in one XB
yay!! new art!! :D
...so where does those centaurs live?
*waits for :suffer:*
hey!! you're not supposed to help them!! >:( :P
Just commenting :P
As expected....

This must be Sagittarius... told you they were doing all the zodiac signs :scholar:

Quote from: KatieHal on September 27, 2004, 12:09:28 PMWhere do you come up with sky from? I'm curious.
Well, that's where the signs are located (their respective constellations, at least) :-\
Plus there's this pic on the Art Of The Week section that's located in the sky (or space?)... I might be totally off here, but it looks to me like a representation of the zodiac - it has twelve of those 'tags' that seem to correspond with twelve symbols (signs have symbols), and there's the four elements in it - every sign has a correspoding element as well :S
Quote from: B'rrr on September 27, 2004, 02:15:40 PM

Great! I've fooled Rob into thinking I know what I'm talking about :sneaky:
congratz Storm!! :P
lol, actually I was serious about if someone could tell us more about AotW. I mean some art is familiar (like that isle and jollo and so), but some art is new (KQ9 only) and it would be nice to know something more about it... :D
Expect many :suffer:'s then ;)
Of course, I could tell you everything about each and every one of them... it won't necessarily be the truth though :P
I'll bet my lucky stars that there is a constellation thing going on in the game! :D
Get it! lucky stars, constellations...get it...see...
...(sighs) oh never mind! :(
*chuckles*
I got it :P
Phew!
...I don't get it ::) ::) :P

You have to be awkward don't you! ;)
He just likes to be difficult :P
It might not be a constelation, it might just be a centaur. :P
:suffer:
Neil...you've become so predictable :P
Hmm, well the constellation and the mythical beast are the same thing, so I guess we will never know!
Personally I am convinced it has some form of triplex constellation/living mythical beast/super duper complex puzzle linking it all together.
That is my conspiracy theory anyway! ;)
"All dreams come from the stars"
:suffer:
Nonsense, dreams come from the heads of men and women alike. If they came from the stars then we would all have dead dreams (remember, it takes so long for light to reach us that some stars can already be dead yet the naked eye would never know until thousands of years in the future!)
Oh wait, thats meant to be one of those cryptic clue things isn't it? Oh well, I drink to that...whatever it is... ;D

Imagine....
Someone signs up for the forum
"this is gonna be GREAT!"
They have a couple of questions, that they just have to ask. So they post their questions.
"Wow, I wonder how they'll answer!'"
Then Neil answers them, with "Sufferring"
*"AH!! !! !!, My monitor's trying to eat me!! !! !!"
They run away(in fear).
*or any other sentence, that would show the horror of seeing it in response to a question. :P

All the 3D models in KQ9 are low-poly. :)
Low-poly eh?
Well if you can have that detail with only a low number of polygons then I am certainly impressed!
Low-Poly is a very general term and often depends on the game engine used and minimum hardware target.
We've had a lot of discussion on this forum about the minimum hardware and what sort of game we're aiming for.
This game will blow your mind.... as long as you have XYZ minimum hardware. So yeah, this IS low poly, but probably a bit higher than what you're used to. ;) Does that help? ;)
Well, I wasn't questioning your ability, only complimenting it!
But still, I hope it does blow my mind as it were. FOr my KQ IX to work it will need high polygon models and probably require at least Pentium 5000 before it will work to it's fullest extent!
The new Art of the Week has now been posted! :D
Awesome...
but didn't he become human in KQ6
*waits for the suffer*

Well, I will make another wild theory:
The beast was originally cursed by Manannan during his "wild youth" but became human through Alexander. However, because Alexander will have gone mad in KQ IX he will resurrect Manannan from being a cat and he will return to the Isle of the Beast and curse the man again!
Yes, I know that is completely and utterly wrong but let me speculate anyway! Its more worthwhile then trying to extract an answer out of the KQ IX team!

True, and true. ;)
Mind you, with some of my "friend of a friend of a friends" associate contacts then anything is possible...
(I will leave you to speculate on the consequences of that!)

The tusks seem a bit too close together on the face-forward pic... but otherwise they all look great 8)

There's a slight problem with your theory - KQ6 clearly states the original curser was a witch :S
/me wonders how wild were Manannan's "wild youth" :o

Yup, Storm and Koko got it right as well. :D It's from the Isle of the Mist. :)

As for Manannan's "wild youth," well I can safely say that his youth was pretty wild in
my KQ IX!

I've had a couple of speculations about that myself (lame, I know... use Suffer as necessary):
1. Once the curse is broken, the prince can turn back into a beast at will.
2. Beauty was kidnapped/left the prince, which caused him to revert to beast form.
3. Basically Shadowfax's idea - the original curser/someone else equally evil decided to curse him again.
4. A dark mega-curse has taken over the land, triggering the beast's curse back into action.
5. And my favorite for being the least stupid - in KQ9, you get to travel back in time (or see a flashback) where the beast while still under the curse.
Shoot in all directions and you're bound to hit something, that's my motto :P
I second that opinion!
Lurrrvely AOTW!
I always wanted KQ6 to do more with Isle of the Mists so I can't wait to explore it in KQ9!
Heheh Alex, you're a week slow! ;P
The new AOTW has just been posted! XD
Holy s***!! That's all I have to say.
Now a question: Will the floor be shiny in the final, or is that basically finished? Cus it looks like the floor should be shiny :)
Regardless that's great.
:o :o Gorgeous!! Just showed it to Donna. She thinks it's awesome too...and she hasn't played any of the games!
It's still a major work in progress. If it were final, it would be posted in the Screenshot section. :P The pic is still missing lighting, shadows, etc. but a job well done nonetheless!
Yup, pretty good looking AOTW from this angle!
Good work!

When I posted it was still technically AOTW...I think? Anywayz what did you expect!? its me!
This ones also raised another area which I want to explore more too although there was a fair bit of exploring the castle in KQ6. I just wanted to get into the kitchens :D
wowie!! looks great!!

On the site...after it gets finished...and when everyone else will get to download it with you. :suffer: :suffer: :suffer:
Hahaha, nice one Koko! All you need is a few :suffer:'s in that post and it's perfect! XD

Don't worry friend, I will back you up!

it's just like Húrin and Huor agains the host of Angband :D ::)
/me wonders how many ppl have read the silmarillion :P
*huggles Rob*
You just wondered where your copy of the game was...I was telling you the truth...
BTW, I haven't read the Simarillion...but we referred to it numerous times in my Fantasy Lit class when we read LoTR.
I was referring to the ' :suffer:'-conspiracy against me :( :P
...so, you know Húrin and Huor?? ::)
The ' :suffer:" went along with it...
Well...no...but they sound familiar, so I've probalby heard of them in passing...
I haven't read the Silmarillion yet, but my fav band is called Marilllion, after they dropped the "Sil" to avoid legal problems
:)
and I just saw them on tour and they were AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
back to AoTW please, you off-topic drifters! :P

I have read the Silmarillion but that was such a long time ago I have forgotten all the details! (hmm, Eldar rings a bell!)
As for the rooms we can explore, well I always was curious to see what was inside those two dirty great doors on the Eastern Hallway! (I
could tell you what is behind the doors in
my KQ IX but that would be telling!)
yay!! plz tell, cuz I won't get any info from Neil and Jon and so :
Hmm, I will think about it...

Awww...*huggles*
Sorry, hun, but that's what you get for trying to extract information from those involved in the game.
hey, I'm most willing to extract info from those not involved in the game, but they don't have the info I want need!! :-\
This week's Art of the Week has just been posted. :)
Awesome! A statue! I'm guessing it's not completed, though :(
:P
Cool. Is that from KQ7?
You tell me. 8)
looks nice.... never seen him/her before though :-\
Hmm, can't say I have seen Banjo Bill before!*
*Yes I know that it is holding a lute but banjo sounds funnier...okay so I am a cr*p comedian; deal with it!
How about Lute Leroy :P
But I did find Banjo Bill funny, Shadow.
Lute Leroy (shakes head and chuckles)
Thanks anyway Cat, I know I can always rely upon you to support my limited abilities!
;D Glad to have given you a laugh! (If I hadn't been in a computer lab when I read your post, I would've laughed aloud)...
Anyway...back on topic...
I wonder where we'll find Banjo Bill or Lute Leroy...
;D
Unsure where we will find him; My theory is that the ex-beast/king of the Isle of the Beast (pretty sure he will rename the place after being turned back into a man), replaced the archer statues with something a little less lethal, something that plays music as you go past rather than shoots arrows! ;)
The new Art of the Week has been posted! :evil:
Happy Halloween! ;D
A cloaked hornded tree monster(with sharp teeth)! !!!
Brilliant! XD
Who made this pic? ???
He's a funky little fella! (looks just like some of the five year olds that went down my street!)
Drawn by Lucas Ryan, colored by Akril, modelled by Allert, textured by Nick :)
Cool! Lots of work went into that one ;D Awesome work, Lucas Ryan, Akril, Allert and Nick!

Not that I can recall :-\
Since it's a winged statue, it might belong in the city of the winged ones... we've been getting lots of arts from The Land of The Green Isles lately :S
As for the most recent fellow, I could be dead wrong, but the robe and organic-woodsy look makes me think he belongs in the Isle of Mists :S
Also, it's eyes should be glowing or something ;)
Storm, I was thinking about the grove that is right outside the exit from the desert. I seem to recall some statues there, I was wondering if this could be one.
Yeah, I figured that's what you meant... but in KQ7, one of those statues carries a pitcher, the other a cornucopia, and none of them are winged :-\

I actually forget where that dude's from. I was sent the pic a while ago and renamed it at that time to "monster.jpg", so your guess is as good as mine! ;D
OMFG! I can give Neil the :suffer: Smiley! ;D
:lovegoggles: Really nice tent!
EDIT: PS: haha I beat you to the first post, Yonkey. ;D
:suffer: Right back at ya because:
The new Art of the Week has now been posted! ;D
Great pic! :D
Although, it reminds me more of Dragon's Lair and QfG than a Kings Quest game.
*waits for the REAL KQ fans to tell him if it's from a previous Kings Quest game* :-\
P.S. Who made it? ???
Grundy made it, which is why I said " :suffer: right back at ya". :P
He did ALL of it!!?? ???
That IS :suffer:ing :P
Awesome job, Grundy!
LN, it doesn't look familiar to me. However, there's a good chance I may not be remembering it right. But I don't think it's come from a previous KQ.
What are you :suffer:ing about!? ;D
That is one of my favourite scenes, just wait until you see the textured version! ;)
Well... it's obviously a blacksmith's tent, complete with anvils and a furnace. I don't recall any of those in KQ, except for the KQ7 blacksmith troll place, which looked nothing like that ::)
/me hopes you won't have to break that barrel and have mushrooms popping out of it :P
With the new update, we also start our Art of the Week Special! !!!
Each week we will reveal a 3D model of a main character from King's Quest IX.
Rosella has just been posted today! :smitten:
Awesome! It just keeps getting better and better!
Awesome!! ;D
This was certainly worth staying awake for :D
yay!! looks kwel!! :D
The Rosella model looks schweet!!! ;D
But that Jollo model seems to be lacking a red nose... ;)
Jollo shouldn't have a red nose! he's a court jester, not one of those clowns who scare kids ;)
...well, he should have a red nose when he returns from his nightly trips to the royal wine cellar :P
And he does have a red nose in KQ6... ;)
I think it was from allergies, but you never know... ;)

Yup! :suffer:
Ah memories!
Don't ask me why but when I run KQ VI on Win XP, his dialogue portrait is completely different (low quality version which is completely different from the "original" pic which I used to get running Win 95)
Still, nice 3D work all (makes me wince with the thought that I will have to attempt something like that in the future, single handedly!)

The low-res dialogue portraits are use if you're playing the DOS version, or the Windows version with the speech turned off. It was discussed
Here. (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=1369)
The next character in the Art of the Week special is now posted! :)
It's Alexander this week! He looks awesome!
:D
:thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
yay!! looks nice, he still has his scarf :D ;)
so... when will I be able to control him in the game?? ::) :P
YAY! First chance to use this...
:suffer:
and
HA! (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/journal/)
Liking the look of Alex too, also glad to see the return of the scarf :D

That's what happens when you ask for a spoiler. You should know that by now ::)
i'm a slow learner... and they are bound to give us a spoiler sometime :P
OMG the Art of the Week area has really grown since the last time I checked :o
They are all so beautiful :D
The next character in the Art of the Week Special is now posted! :D
Wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
and a bone in her nose ho, ho. :P
*remembers song*
Nevermind. :D
Who made this one?
Looking good...as always. However, does anyone else feel like she bears a small resemblance to Jasmine...could be just the clothes, though...
So...which character is posted next week?
Yeah, she does look a bit like Jasmine in that pic. XD
As for which character is next... you'll have to wait and see! :suffer:
Why am I not surprised?? ::)
because you saw that one comming perhaps... ::) :P

o btw.... nice art!! :D, in which chapter will we be able to talk to her (for the first time...)?? ::)
/me waits for Neil's response to that one

*sigh*
My opinion...probably the first chapter. Probably since it looks like the game is set in the Green Isles for the majority of the game. But I know nothing...so take that with a grain of salt :P
*takes a shipload of salt*
so can we ask her who the father of her child is?? :)
I could go SO many places with that question, Rob. But I'm going to be nice and just say: we're assuming the baby is Alex's...unless there was something we weren't told in the previous games.
or happend between kq8 and kq9, I mean... stranger things have happend ...look at Shmi :P
I guess since I'm not familiar with Shmi, I can't look there :P
:o :o :o you don't know who Shmi is :o :o
I didn't thought there were ppl on this earth who didn't know :S
*looks it up*
Ahhh...I see now. Thanks for clearing it up for me, Rob ::)
you're welcome :)
Haha, who said there was a kid?
Just speculation on our part, Katie :P
Wow, a woman wearing pants in King's Quest!! :o
A nicely preportioned model... ;)
Quote from: Storm on November 24, 2004, 11:20:34 AM
Wow, a woman wearing pants in King's Quest!! :o
That's the least of the things you'll be shocking for in King's Quest IX ;)
could you give us an example of a more shocking thing??
And I'm sure we all know how that's going to turn out... ::)
yes!! César is about to give us some spoiler-candy!! :)
...that is, if you stop giving him alternative ideas!! >:(
:o Fine...be mad at me :-[
/me goes into a corner to cry...grabs a tissue on the way
*throws a box of tissues to Cat*
sowwy....
*waits for César to reply* ;)
/me gets knocked down from the box of tissues hitting her in the head
Thanks a lot, Rob... :-[
...BTW, nice arm you've got there. :P
you are welcome!!
glad you liked it :P
Nice to know you take such pleasure out of it...
Art of the Week:...hmmm...is Cassima gonna have a baby?? :D

You must really like the 'Suffer' they way you're practically begging for it ;)
nope ...actually I think I have more luck getting a spoiler from César then from Neil ::) :P
Maybe so...but has he given you one yet? At least, in response to your post.
The next main character in the Art of the Week special has now been posted. XD
Lookin' good for an old guy :P
Honestly I don't think this is on the same level as the other great AotW Character Specials we've been getting. His arms are the main issue, they look like a gorilla's, but also his proportions seem a bit TOO exaggerated.
The adventurer's cap! :o :D

Nahhhh I reckon Grahams just been working out! He has to keep the Mrs happy you know? :P
Looking back at it, I think it's not that bad, really. Besides the arms, it is quite good, but as I said before the arms look EXTREMELY unrealistic. Maybe if Graham was supposed to be a comical, cartoon character he would walk around with his arms like that, but isn't he supposed to be a serious character?
If those arms get fixed this will be just as great as the other AotW's we've seen the past couple of weeks.
Hmmm.... either:
"The woman I saw was THIS FAT! :o "
or
"And the big mean grizzly bear came up to me and said..." (as told to his grandkids many years from now)
XD
Yeah, Graham looks a bit too buff for his old age... guess he's been pumping too much iron ;)
The next character in the Art of the Week Special has now been posted! XD
Wow! We finally get to see Valanice! :D Looks awesome!
Valanice's figure is pretty good for her age! ;-D Considering she had twins at one point besides.... ;)
Remember everybody, this is a "fantasy" game, it's not supposed to realistic :P And besides, Graham's muslces wouldn't just disappear in such a short time, and Valanice did say in KQ7 that she's trying to watch her figure. Also, they are main characters, they take care of themselves. You wouldn't want them walking around all out of shape with canes and dentures now would you :-\
The next character in the Art of the Week Special is now posted. 8)
:D
Almost looks like it should be cel-shaded. ::)
*thinks that KQVII is stuck in his head :P
Lol...It's Edgar. Question: does he look exactly like he looked in KQVII? I haven't played the game in forever, but I think he's very similar.
He is... just better(although, you're going to lose/gain something in the conversion ;P ). :D
I'll IM you a pic if you want, but I think replaying the game would be more fun. :-\
Yeah, you could. Mainly because I don't have the game here at school with me. And I'm not even sure if it's installed on our home computer.
I'll refrain from commenting on this one.
/me tucks feet safely away from mouth ::)
Just to clear any confusions, that is indeed the Edgar from KQ7.
There are a total of four different designs for Edgar in KQ9. (propably 6, as a matter of fact ;)
That's good to hear. The more Edgar, the better ;)
Can't wait to see the KQ4 Edgar 8)
Nice AotW! (Connor)
LOL! You were refreshing the page every few seconds for the past few hours, weren't you! ;P
Anyway, the final main character in the AOTW Special is now posted. 8)
You could think of this as an early Christmas present, but we actually have something special planned for next weekend... ;D
It's a punishment I tell you!
A punishment! XD
Oh yeah... ugh...
*looks at pic
:o
***tries to think of something to say, that would express how he feels about the pic
Someone gave Connor his horn back! !!!
*wonders how many people know what he meant by that ;P
*waits for Storm's comments*
;D
Not bad, my Conner sketches are better though ( ;))
Seriously though; the 3D models look excellent, however I will say they will look seriously better with textures; paint hides a multitude of sins!
(BTW, your Edgar looked slightly dodgy on first inspection; I thought he was a woman 1st time round!)
Well, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Connor this go-around. Congrats :D
??? I personal message Yonkey, why did he not answer.
:) I knew who the last Art Of The Week Character was, :-\ but i was afraid of getting kicked off the Forum Board by giving a Secret away.
;D I see there will be a Christmas Special, :'( sadly i will be in the UK for 3 weeks.
;D Merry Christmas you guy's and a Happy New Year.

Quotelol, and how on earth you knew ?! ;P
::) I could've told you all the Special Characters the first time when you post Graham at the Art of the week Special. I forgot to tell you and i was scared that i might get kicked out of the Forum if i told everyone here.
:) It was easy actually, the 3 main characters, the two married couples and the man who was a Troll.

The Art of the Week Special is now over. :( But fear not! Our KQIX Christmas Special has just been posted. Enjoy! :D
Merry Christmas from all of us in the KQIX Development Team. 8)
i think im in love with the piccy of connor...can i make him real and date him please?
Pics of connor being all well and good (i do rather like it), how about something new up? I know they're all busy and such, but it's been AGES! heh. It's frustrating being outside of all this and wondering what the insiders are up to. 8)
The reason why we stopped the AotW is because we are working on a new feature. Just wait a little bit longer. Something huge is coming this way.
Really? :flirt: Well, in that case... by all means, go to!

**ducks** Sounds rather ominous. O.o
is it a bird? is it a plane? no its a new kq surprise...aww aren't they good to us :D
Well they better had not release it when I am away, I am up to my ears in work at the mo and I would be rather upset if I missed anything! (Not to say that you would structure the release around me...well...not unless you wish to ;) ;D)
I like the 3D art that's up in the media section. The models of the characters look good. I saw the 'family portrait' and the costumes in it were cool. The artists here must be woking hard.
