Dumb Quest I-Quest for the Town
This is an original game by Dogma Day Games. It's basically a spin-off of the King's Quest series, and yes, there are many references to the Sierra universe.
THE STORY:
All is not well in the land of Alphredtry. The kingdom lost a major war with it's Southern enemy, Anaface. Alpredtry is extremely poor. The Kingdom's treasury is nearly empty, and there are no knights.
Meet Bob. He is a bartender, and the hero of our story. The game begins when Bob gets a letter from Anaface telling him he hasn't paid his taxes, and they will be taking his bar. Bob decides he needs to make money.
So he becomes knighted, and is renamed Sir Robert Tavern. He has to fix up the crappy town, and get 3 items. He must get the diamond from the biggest tree in Butt-Crack Forest, the Sword from the king of Anaface, and a pizza to feed Alphredtry's overweight lazy king.
Robert will make many allies, and he will travel to many random places and face extreme peril.
Now, how about some screenshots?

A quit system similar to the good old King's Quest games!

Initial progress so far has been extremely slow.

We are desperately in need of background artists and sprite artists.

This game sounds interesting... Unfortunatly I can't draw VGA backgrounds, so I can't help.
I've decided to release a small alpha demo. It's kind of crappy, and I did a lot of the work. I seriously need artists, so please take a look.

If you would like to join the team, please send me a PM with a sample of your work.
this all sounds VEEERY random, i'll have to doonlood teh demo to find oot.
It's not that random, there is a plot. There are a lot of sidequests, too.
Are the sidequests non linear or do you have to do all of them?
If you 'had' to do them, they wouldn't be sidequests. ;D
Looking good, matey.

most of the sidequests are nonlinear. There are a few that involve getting spell ingredients, recruiting knights, etc. that are mandatory.
a) Turn off debug mode
b) Make the intro so it doesn't crash
c) Give the fonts an outline so they can be read easier
d) if you get more than 4 inv items then you cant scroll the inventory
Meh, it's only an alpha demo. In the final version the bugs will be fixed.
The game's title is Dumb Quest I... This means that there could be sequels?
Definately. ;D
