King's Quest IX

[qptain Nemo]

Whatever this is, this is brilliant.  I nearly laughed my ass off when I saw this. So thanks, guys, for making my day.

I have removed all the off-topic posts!  The Hero / KQIX-Team ... please take the "is this for real?" posts into PMs and settle this there!

I understand this is a hot-topic that sparks some emotion but we need to stay on target in this thread.  There really is no way to "prove" one way or t'other (short of going to KQIX-Team's house and seeing it on the computer there) so we just need to accept it.  The thread doesn't break any rules (even if a tad mean-spirited) so it's "legal".

Let's all light a fire, sing some songs, and get along now...

Here it is: Demo I of King's Quest IX.

Any kind of critics, comments and proposals are welcome at any time.

You have to wait a few seconds until the download link appears.

I don't remember Grahm being this buff in Kings Quest V. You should also turn on the movement linked to animation property. Keep at it!

I am not impressed.

Huh?

I am not impressed.

9. Someone has posted a piece of work that you don't really like. How should you reply?

1. "That sucks, you suck!"
2. "I am not impressed."
3. "Good first attempt, but here's how you could improve it:"

[Radiant]

It seems you missed the irony there. Oh well.

13. You feel the need to reply to a thread, but you don't really have anything to contribute - what should you do?

1. Just reply with a smiley or 'zing'.
2. Reply saying "I don't really have anything to add but I thought I'd better post".
3. Don't reply at all.

[Alun]

24. You make a critical reply to a poster who insulted your game.  He then replies to clarify that his "insult" was intended ironically and was, in fact, meant as a compliment - what should you do?

1. Ignore the content of his latest post and continue to criticize his posting.
2. Ignore any future posts by him altogether.
3. Admit that you missed the irony in his post and thank him for his support.

Okay, I've checked Grahams animation now and it looks fine to me. What's the problem in your oppinion? Does he walk too fast or too slow?

1. We should all STFU and get on well. Now, I just walked around the corridors, and I couldn't enter any door, so after 2 minutes I thought this is just a walking demo, is that so? (I'd like a hint please)

I liked the narrator's voice EVEN if she's a woman, I prefer her to that grumpy old bastard.

The atmosphere was very well set. Not sure if it fits throughout the game, cause I couldn't get much farther.

I mean if the movement speed is not linked to the animation, it can look like the character is gliding. thats the case in the demo. I think just that could really give the game an old fashioned feel.

(I'm trying SO hard to get this thread locked...) Does it show?

[Dualnames]

Greatly, let me help you with that.

Okay, now I see what you mean. I will reduce the animation speed of the character in the next demo. Thanks!

Same here. Is there even anything else to expect?

The talking woman confused the hell out of me, by the way...

[King Alexander]

Not at the moment, I'm afraid. The next demo will longer, I promise. But please don't expect too much. At this stage we just remake a game that doesn't have any puzzles.
