Why was HQ released for free anyway?
Sad as it is, they were the only new entries in a genre(adventure-RPG hybrid) that has what, the qfgs and now these? Comparison was inevitable yo.I think its really sad that people are genuinely discussing if HQ had an impact of QFI not selling well. What you are basically saying is that this niche is so small that it can't support two games (one of them is FREE game) released at around same time. If we are to assume that then this genre basically has no commercial future.
That's what Crystal shard does, Freeware for fun.Why was HQ released for free anyway?

Easily worth the price of a cup of coffee.
sad to see the company goes, but at least we will get fortress of fire and roehm of ruin still.

Quest for Infamy 2 as well, right, Blackthorne?
Yeah, I had written a treatment and outline for QFI 2 shortly after QFI's release. There's a story to be told, but who knows if we'll be able to get to tell it. QFI was a pretty special, seemingly once in a lifetime thing. Stars aligned right at one time in life, and we got to make it. Dunno if that opportunity will come again.
Doing it at our pace, on our own mostly and with some donated time and work from friends, is pretty much how we'd be able to do a game the size of QFI2 at this point. We could get it done quicker with a budget, but - heh - you could say that about most things!
