Space Quest III VGA now has an official site!

[Khaveen]

Hello again, AGSers!

I think this thread may be not used now. SQ3VGA now has an official site with forums, new screenshots and FAQ!

Feel free to check it out! http://sq3vga.by.ru !

[Vel]

Well, I think you should keep the original plot, because sq3 is one of the funniest adventure games I've ever played. And for the screenshots, I dont think they look bad, but you should add more detail to them, to look more like sierra ones. Have a go @sq3

[Khaveen]

Well, I have no plans for changing the plot. I'm going only to add some more funny jokes and easter eggs t the game. And, yes, I see your point about the detail. That is just because I don't remake graphics like Tierra did with KQ1. I never draw over EGA pictures, i make them myself. But you're right. I think I'll add some garbage to the first scene. (Goes to the nearest garbage can and takes more trash )

[Vel]

It is a LOT easier when you draw over ega graphics. Use textures from other sqs. Ask Lucasfan for details. And roger's lips look errrr.... awkward.

EDIT: This is what I did just in five minutes.

[Khaveen]

Okay men, a new screenshot has been posted on my screenshots page.
P. S. Hmm, thanks for the advice, Vel. And I see what you was talking about when you mentioned the lips. I'll change them. And about the detail... say, Vel, is there a point in doing detail in stars? If you'd only remade something more loaded with objects, and I could compare it with my drawings...

[Vel]

Khaveen, it's the detail making the great games.
The new screetshot looks good, you've added more detail than the others. And any additional info about the game? Music, res, release date(considersing sq3 isnt very long, it'd take less than a year to complete imo)?

[Privateer Puddin']

any chance of some comparision pics?

[Khaveen]

Vel: Since I'm going to go in a vacation in the august, I don't think that the full game will be released before october or even november. But I'm working very hard now and I'll try to make a demo in the July already!  
The music will be the same as in the original, maybe enchanced MP3 pack will be avalible
deltamatrix: Well, what do you know! Somebody likes my screenshots, somebody does not. Okay, I'm sorry. I really told in the first post that the graphics are going to be :quote: cartoonish way, Sq5-style :quote:. Now I apologize. The graphics are going to be cartoonish way, Khaveen-style.  
I'm going to make some new screenshots today.
P. S. And about the King's Quet III... It is because (well I think so) if the man wants to do a game, he must do everything himself. One day I was doing a game project (let's don't name it) and I have found an artist, who promised me to make several scenes of the game and send them to me. I waited his mail one and a half year. I wrote him a e-mail. He didn't answered. And I'm afraid that MHawk is in the same situation now.   That's why, by the way, AGDs from Tierra do all themselves, because they can contact each other not only by mail.
....WOW! Cool! 50 people have visited my screenshots page yesterday, and 23 people today already!

[Khaveen]

And the another shot is hanging around my page! I spended much time to do this drawing. Hope you'll like it!

[Pet Terry]

Your site is very slow... but your game looks good! Good work with graphics. I haven't played Space Quest III... so I don't know much about it, but I'm waiting your game!

[Khaveen]

And, please visit rhis poll:
http://pub57.ezboard.com/froyalquestforumsfrm14.showMessage?topicID=188.topic

I need your answers on this question in order to continue the remake.

[Khaveen]

Thank you a lot for support!
I decided to redraw ALL the graphics I have done so far recently.
Some of my screenshots have been updated, please visit my page.
Soon more screenshots will be updated in the same style.
P. S. Vel, as you can see the new screenshots are MUCH more detailed than the old ones  !

[Snake]

--EDIT--Bad topics removed. Damn I hate doing that...

Note to everyone that's been a total ass recently:
I'm getting sick of this shit.

People, if you don't like how something is being done, tough goddamn shit. THIS IS NOT YOUR GAME. If you don't have anything good to say about the project, shut your mouth. Don't post. It's simple. We're not in kindergarden here. Like I've said before, this is a respectable community, cut the shit would ya?


I'm going to keep a couple of Vel's posts since they were constructive critism, but Vel remember, this isn't the critics lounge. Only post a critique if the creator of the game asks for it. Let him do what he's gonna do, it's his game, not yours.

I'm not much of a fan of remakes Tierra's included but they do attract a lot of people back to adventure games who might not realise there is this community of adventure game developers still around so good luck,  and don't worry about Vel he's making an Indy game without being the most fantastic artist in the world..

[Snake]

lol...now stop that.

Keep on topic, don't start on other people's projects now.

Please don't make me have to delete any more posts...it sucks...

[Paranoia]

not more drama?! :

the game sounds cool and i like the graphics a lot, i haven't played any space quests so with a open mind i think this game will go far, keep up the good work Khaveen  

Paranoia

ps i wouldn't worry about it snake, ppl should know the rules by now

[Minimi]

Wow, just watched the screenshots, and they look awesome. Never played spacequest though, but only if I see that you can get over 700 points?!!!! I can tell you now, im never gonna finish that... just give me the game with first 100 points, and I won't notice the differents!

[Frogman]

Cool!  I can't get the EGA version to work on my computer (Roger walks all screwy so I can't really get anywhere, anyone else have this problem?), so this will be fun.

Screenshots are looking pretty good.  Maybe needing some touch up still (close up of Roger looks a little odd to me), but nice start

--EDIT--
You know, I was thinking...coloring over the EGA/AGI backgrounds with remakes is probably really efficient (not that I've ever tried it), but not doing that would be cool too!  You know, like the remake of QfG1 had stuff in different places a little (I think!) -- that's kinda fun, you know?  Like you're getting some new experience with visuals, aside from the touch up...or something like that

[evilspacefart]

I made some Roger walk anims for you that are anime like if that's the style you want. From an RPG I was going to make but didn't finish.

right click and save as .bmp



in sprite manager, each square is 24 x 32 (import with tiled sprite support checked)


(bigger version)

each square is 48 x 64

actually anyone can use them.

[Khaveen]

Nice sprites, evilspacefart. But, sorry, this is not Roger. Besides, I'm redrawing all the graphics I have done so far. No more anime!  . My screenshot page is updated, please visit it.
P. S. And now, the secret of all the 738 points:
