Quest for Glory fan projects

[Blake00]

Hey guys!

Figured now that the old AGDI forums are slowing down now that people have moved here I should probably move my list here too as along with our old fans there are new ones here too, and new fans bring new information!

For details on what and why I made this the old thread is over at AGDI here, but basically I created a Quest for Glory section on my website paying tribute to the original QFG games and the great many successful and unsuccessful QFG related fan projects out there to make sure that we never forget them and that talented QFG fans are inspired to create new QFG projects in the future. To do this I created a list on the website and collected pics, vids, demos, and information for as many of them as possible.

This is my latest summary of the website list below.

(Note: Originally built in 2001 this website is still deliberately very late 90s early 2000s retro in design. So if you're not nostalgic for old retro websites with music, animating gifs & left click browsing then you probably won't like it)

Blake!

Glad to meet you. Just wanted you to know that I love your site. When I saw the thread, my first thought was "hey, we should add the info from that QfG site I love so much"...and then I realized it looked very similar already.

[Blake00]

Thought I'd spread the word. We're looking for some creative talent to help us mold the main plot of Hero6.  Here is a reproduction of our announcement on the Hero6.org forums:

We have finally reached the point where a majority of our code has been standardized, organized, and Vasilis-ized! A big thanks to bdimopoulos and ChamberOfFear for their work on that.

So, where are we at now?
We still have some modules that need to be refactored or replaced entirely, but we're prepared to develop these separately during the next phase of development... the story.
That's right Heroes, the core creative element of Hero6 is ready for molding! We're looking for contributors to review the existing story-line and make improvements. This document is the wellspring from which all further development will flow. It needs to be:
In-depth and detailed
Cohesive and themed
Fun and entertaining!

To clarify, we are not looking for puzzles, side-quests, or subplots. Those will come later. What we need is akin to a game design document. We're taking a story-based approach so the design document (shared below) will be a combination of a backstory and a main storyline that will unfold as the game is played.

What's next?
This is an exciting time for Hero6. What we develop in the coming months will model the final outcome of this long-awaited adventure game.
We anticipate a greater interest during the creative development of the main story line. So far, production is running along smoothly, but the combination of several creative interests can be a source of conflict. Hero6 has certainly experienced this conflict in the past. Rest assured, ChamberOfFear and myself are committed to resolving any conflict, should it occur.

Where can I get started?
Here! The document is under revision control so feel free to add, edit, or comment.

Quest for Glory I Extended Edition – Full tribute page created! QFG1 remake with many new areas (eg open mountain pass like in QFG4.5).

Changes made to existing QFG content:

General – Fixed some missing slashes in code.
Heroism: The Art of DeFence – New HD screenshots and GREATLY enhanced demo now available.
Quest for 3D – New awesome screenshots of his amazing realistic recreation of Spielburg.
Destiny: The Lost Soul – FINALLY the long lost demo has been found & made available by the Hero6 team!

As always, let me know if something is missing.

Glad to suggest Max Performer to you and meet you. Just wanted you to know that I love your site. When I saw the thread, my first thought was "hey, we should add the info from that QfG site I love so much"...and then I realized it looked very similar already.

Are you still working on and improving your site, Blake? What's the latest stuff that you added on there?

Hi Klink!

Yup still working on my site. Recently added a big new Imperium Galactica section. However as for my QFG section I haven't done anything recently other than add a nice picture & some icons in my contents menu about a week or 2 ago hahaha! I recently submitted all my QFG maps to GameFAQs and they accepted which was nice!

I haven't seen anything new lately and no one's submitted any big new projects to me so there's no big updates at the moment.

My QFG section 'to do list' just has a few small things in there:

• Investigate an old unfinished QFG1 Spielburg Doom level someone told me about
• Investigate a QFG1 ZZT video someone sent me to improve my tribute
• Add new QFG3D pics I found to tribute page
• Add new Tarna 3D pics I found to QFG6 Heros Legend tribute page
• Create video tours of some more fan demos
• Do a let's play of QFG4.5 (people keep asking me to as I'm the guy that made the walkthrough).

I don't see Space Quest For Glory by Infamous Adventures. Very short but probaby worth adding?

oh yes I forgot about that. I vaguely remember it but perhaps I forgot to try out the demo back when they did it. I'm surprised none of the old IA guys haven't called me up on that haha.. I'll have to try and find a copy.
