Congrats and well done to all those who fought for kqix! You've proven to everyone that anything's possible if you don't give up. *cheers*

They said they were going for January, so add 2 months to that, and you get sometime in March...

Read the full press release, sometime 2006, we aren't sure when yet

I did read that, but I just assumed that it would be pushed back the amount of time of lost development (2 months, right? Not sure where the 3 months thing is coming from). Any reason why it would take longer?

[Say]

Yes. It's not just up to us anymore, it's also VU's call.
So, that's all we can say for now. Sorry.

[sivvrianBARRY]

Oh, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up, Say.

Hang on, I just realized something. VUG granted POS the license to continue The Silver Lining on November 29, Cesar's birthday. Some present, wouldn't you say?

[GunHoMac]

I went down to the VUG offices and said "they'll just change the name"...and they said "oh, ok."  See the power I have...I bestow my mind-altering gifts upon the lining that is silver.

What are Phoenix Online Studios' post-"The Silver Lining" plans? Does Phoenix intend to "go pro"? By the way, don't forget to milk the new license for publicity. Mention how the license enabled the Phoenix to rise from the ashes and continue development to any media contact.

[blue opal]

Yaaay!!!!!!

Well done Koko! You and the reat of the Save KQIX team are real   heroes who have had success in a real quest in which all the fans and P.O.S. team  have participated too!

At last Phoenix Online has risen from the ashes.

I'm really, really, really happy!

I already have said thisñ but I´ll say it again. My best wishes to P.O.S. to suceed with "The Silver Lining" trilogy and any other project  you have in mind in the future!.

[tutin]

Super, congrats ! Really looking forward to a close release date. By the way - where is the trailer that was released be4 the troubles ?

I'd love to see a few sequences in action, not just screenies.

Once again - excellent job, this will be the adventure of 2006 for sure !

I cant get the KQ9, err (The Silver Lining) Theme Song out of my head and i have this thing (going on in my head with the Theme Song) where Fans are cheering celebrating after a succesfull (Lord Of The Rings Middle Earth) Battle.

Thanks Koko and thanks to the Save KQIX Site. Congrats yourself Fans, we DID IT.

Now lets hold a NEW Silver Lining Coming Back Party, i got the Cake.

So will the names all be like:

The Silver Lining - Part 1: Shadows

The Silver Lining - Part 2: The Two That Are One

The Silver Lining - Part 1: Eternities

I'm so happy that the Characters and Story Line and Everything stays the same.

Is this Game gonna be DVD like, i hope i can download it with my 56K Modem and i hope it will NOT be in TORRENT.

I also hope that we run it with windows 98!

[Vernypibb21]

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.  I read this late at night and I couldn't scream or anything because everyone was asleep but oh wait till I wake up.  YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

1.- We were not going to give up, unlike what so many thought. The fact that we agreed to do as VU told us to was because we weren't going to continue to do this wrong, we wanted to make things right.

2.- This wasn't planned, so NO, it didn't take them 3 months, in fact, took them like a week to review material and say "yes, now let's talk about that license". And in fact, I can't say much about the legal agreement yet hence we're even still discussing those matters at the moment, we just had approval to come through with the news (finally).

3.- We got truly lucky they were open minded even after the C&D letter, and we're even more lucky to have such great fans who DID help on this situation, and push them to realize that maybe there is more than what they thought there was.

I hope this has answered some of your questions.

Yup!  Thanks a bunch!

I want to first apologize to everyone including the members on the POS team, all the fans who were supportive and I was just a fool and jerk for saying to give up when I myself was wrong in the first place.  I know I tried apologizing before and I did mean it but man If you guys could really FORGIVE ME THIS TIME!!!  I want to be a better Loyal fan to you guys and not be such a coward and jerk who just gives up on people who are creating a most excellent gaming experience to all people who have loved the King's Quest Gaming Series.  I am a fan because I own all of them except King's Quest 8 and I just really wanted you all to know that I am turning a new leaf, and not going to be a traitor and leave when I told you all I was going too!  I know I didn't post a lot of posts, but being in Grad School In Iowa I don't have time much to post, but I have read a lot of your comments, and really see a lot of faith into this forum and group of developers and gamers out there.  

Please know that I want to be a support to you and that I would even be willing to buy this game when it comes out in 2006.  I am really excited about this game you guys.  When I saw the trailer in the beginning of October, I was so pumped and knew that it was going to be a most excellent end to an awesome storyline and series of games that were a part of my life in the late 80's early 90's.  I love King's Quest games, I have played all of them and learned to love the characters and just want to tell you all that I really am a fan of what you have done so please take my apologies seriously because I don't want to be a debby downer and jerk face but rather a loyal supporter of this website and future game!

God speed you all in this remainder of the project, and I can't wait to hear the exciting news and see the first installment when it comes out soon!

Sincerely,

Russ

I also hope that we run it with windows 98!

Probably the best way to answer that question would for you to download this demo of the Torque engine that is being used for Silver Lining and see if it runs on your machine.
