    KickStarter Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption - adventure-RPG from the creators of Quest for Glory

    Excellent points. I agree completely. In fact, I seem to recall many exasperated behind-the-scenes chats in the Infamous Quests developer forums on exactly this topic! :-)

    KickStarter Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption - adventure-RPG from the creators of Quest for Glory

    Honestly, that was only possible because of how much of a passion project it was for us at the time. You'd never get professionals in the industry to work full-time on the budget we had. I would absolutely do it all over again if I could, as I imagine would most of us who worked on the game...

    KickStarter Mage's Initiation - A Classic Sierra-style Adventure/RPG

    I'm thinking that someone at the senior design level at Himalaya/AGDI has either bad hearing or just some truly bizarre tastes when it comes to voice acting. This has been a recurring problem with their games for years. Anyone remember the voice of Al Emmo? *shudder* It's not just the...

    That may well be, but on the whole, I'd say that Cobbett comes in second only to Johnny Walker in the contest for most obnoxious Rock Paper Shotgun critics. But hey, one man's opinion. ;)

    KickStarter Mage's Initiation - A Classic Sierra-style Adventure/RPG

    Wait, wait, wait. If Richard Cobbett is working on this game, then who the hell is supposed to write the obnoxiously pedantic criticism of it when it finally comes out?

    KickStarter Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption - adventure-RPG from the creators of Quest for Glory

    Great isometric perspective graphics are a true art that takes an extremely fine level of stylistic nuance to pull off. This game does not appear to achieve that. The problem is that the artist completely gives up the ability to compose the image in anything resembling an artful way, because...

    KickStarter Order of the Thorne - new game from Infamous Quests

    I really hope to play QFI2 one day, preferably without having to do any work on it. Actually, I take that back. I'd be all about doing the background sketches, and letting someone else paint them into finished pieces. ;)

    A Tale of Two Kingdoms - Deluxe Edition

    You could just smear Vaseline all over your monitor and achieve a similar visual effect.

    The cynic in me suspects that they may have gone a bit masturbatory in the world-building on this one...

    Decline New King's Quest game - MASSIVE DECLINE Everything is shit

    Nobody at IQ had "inside knowledge" of TTG losing the KQ license. It was blatantly obvious from the way they announced it and then never said anything about it again for years, all the while moving further and further away from creating anything resembling traditional adventure games. We just...

    KickStarter Thimbleweed Park: A New Ron Gilbert Classic Point & Click Adventure

    I don't think I could possibly like these graphics more than I already do.

    KickStarter Mage's Initiation - A Classic Sierra-style Adventure/RPG

    Yeah, this seems like feature creep to the extreme. Hopefully they figure out a way to scale it back and actually make it enjoyably playable.

    Decline New King's Quest game - MASSIVE DECLINE Everything is shit

    I can't wait for hipster-beard Graham in the next episode.

    Sierra King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity in retrospect

    KQ8 has such a non-existent crap story though, with absolutely no payoff at the end. It's got no heart at all.

    Decline New King's Quest game - MASSIVE DECLINE Everything is shit

    Was the inclusion of KQ7 screenshots in that last post supposed to be a joke?
