The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!

[atec123]

It's a good idea, I think a site wouldn't be hard, and you could make a forum for people to submit stuff.

[dark-daventry]

Yeah, she lost creative control. She had to take a backseat while other people butchered a series I came to know and love. And in the act of butchering it, they gave the ability to butcher actual characters to the players. Fighting and King's Quest just don't go hand in hand... MoE was a completely different genre than the previous KQ's in my opinion. I would file it under Action/Adventure, and not pure adventure... If only pure, true adventure games were as abundant as they were in my childhood...

^^I was just bummed that Jane Jensen didn't have more involvement in the KQ series in general.  Theres only a handful of KQs I would consider good.

[dark-daventry]

I didn't know that Jane Jensen was involved with KQ at all. Then again, that just shows how much I know about the development of KQ games lol...

[Seymour]

I dont even know who Jane Jensen is!!!

She helped with some KQ games KQ6 was the main one whitch also happens to be my favourite.

[Seymour]

Oh, i didnt know that.

I must say that I love all the KQs, sorry just had to say that, and KQ6 is my favourite [already stated many times]

KQ6 was cool and all, but i hated those damn gnomes, hey annoyed me with their rythmes and their synchronised talking.

I never thought about that, overall it's great as a game though, and I just replayed it because tsl is also in the land of the green isles, Tsl will make me like Kq6 more, and vice versa.  I'm excited!

Well, the first two chapters of Shadows are in the Green Isles, anyway. Chapter 3 is in Dreamworld (wherever that is). I don't know where The Two That are One and Eternities take place, though I'm pretty sure Daventry is in there somewhere.

[atec123]

Either way, even playing the demo brings good memories of first playing KQ6.

[Grevor Blackstone]

What do you think of my Reptile avatar?

[atec123]

I love it, did you make it??

[Grevor Blackstone]

No.  I google imaged Reptile and I uploaded the dsl or whatever you call it as my avatar.  I thought a Reptile avatar would suit me.

So, we turned our games in on Monday for our game class. Since some of you wanted to see it, I'm trying to figure out how you can play our main game Shipwrecked without needing XNA and Visual C#. If you do have those, the project files are linked on this webpage under Shipwrecked.

This download I tried to use the executable. There's a file called Shipwrecked.exe. I really don't know if that'll work though. You might need .Net Framework 2.0 & Service Pack 1 and DirectX, and possibly XNA Redistributable 2.0, from what I've read.

There's one major bug that we didn't have time to figure out, and probably some minor ones, but it should be playable if it runs.

Oh, and I can't draw walking people, or just people for that matter, worth anything.

[PirateKingChris]

I did not know HCN had a bunch of youtube videos where she does commentary  Very good stuff

[atec123]

I'm just hoping it's sometime after my wedding. I can't imagine trying to keep up with all the new posts while we're in Texas working on wedding preparations!

Yeah.  And when TSL comes out, lets hope the servers don't crash.  That'd be tragic.

[Yonkey]

When we released the public demo, the site kept crashing.  But, that was mainly due to the hosting company that we were on at the time not being able to handle the increased load.  The one we're on now is with hosting company we've used in the past for years, which is also the same one we were on when the Vivendi shutdown happened (i.e. when site activity was at its all-time peak).  I'll be putting the game itself on a different site specifically intended for high-traffic downloads, and purchasing a few accounts as well to balance the load.  So, don't worry, it's very unlikely that the servers will crash.  They might be slow for the first week or two, but they shouldn't crash.

[Haids1987]

Not to mention only 24 days until the Sims 3 comes out...

Ooh really? I so want to try that game out at some point...

I am a total Sims addict.  Been playing since I was 13 and have every expansion for the first and second games.  I plan to follow this trend with game #3.

Or the fact it's 60 days until my wedding

I'm jealous.
