+1. Let's see whom we'll meet this time. I hope for something with a little *zing*.

I was hoping for something with just a hint of *boing*...

Forget Zing and Boing, what we need is Pizazz! (Although pizzas would also be fine.)

You order the next audience in.

A harrassed looking buck-toothed man in stained peasant's clothes stands before you.

"My King", he says with desperation in his voice. "I am in need of your help. Goblins! Three of them! They come every other night and break my fences, kill my cattle and steal my crops, and all I can do is hide in my home and wait for the sunrise. I fear for my life and for the life of my wife and children, and if this goes on our harvest will leave my family at the mercy of our neighbors. Please, is there anything you can do?"

This sounds like a job for Sir Lancelot!

It does indeed!

Or you should rather negotiate with the Goblins.

Apparently and sadly: negotiating with the terrorists is the most favoured current trend in my country.

WHAM · Sun 13/04/2014 10:50:09

You call in Lancelot and take on the most heroic tone you can muster.

"Lancelot, take a few of your knights and escort this man to his homestead and DEAL WITH the GOBLINS pestering him."

Lancelot and the peasant give a bow.

Lancelot: "As you wish, my King. I shall make sure these goblins won't be pestering anyone ever again!"

Lancelot and the peasant turn to leave. It seems you still have time for one more audience today.

I just had a really shitty day yesterday. Long story short: I bricked 3 hard drives in one fell swoop due to being a complete idiot and I lost about 1,5TB of data, including backups. Among this data was a bunch of AGS stuff and all my backgrounds, sprites etc for King Sim.

As you can imagine I'm a bit grumpy right now. I doubt this project will continue, since I have no interest in re-drawing all of the characters and backgrounds and icons (I could lift some of them from this thread, but those have some shading effects and as such won't look clean with new sprites. Also lost my templates for new characters...

If you guys want I can give you a text-only description of what was supposed to happen over the course of the first year as well as some planned future events, but beyond that I am calling King Sim dead.

*kicks self in head*

come one, steal them from the wiki! We are just getting started for the next 50 years of reign. Let us at least start a war and go down in flames

miguel · Sat 19/04/2014 01:01:13

We don't care about graphics, WHAM! It's all about hanging out dude! Please continue!

It's always bad to lose stuff, and over one TB must have included important stuff too. But yes, come on. Make it text-only. See it as your personal flip-the-bird against the fates of hard drive wreckings and continue.

Or, alternatively, confine in someone who can continue? I know you're thorough. You have NOTES. You always have notes.

CaptainD · Sat 19/04/2014 13:06:53

Write it into the story - The king has become blind! He now has to describe everything he sees, but we will never again see the depictions of his realm.

But wait... did someone cause this blindness? Is there foul play at work here?

- use it instead

It's hard to loose such a lot of work, but you'll find a way to go on with this for sure.

A little sprite of the appearing character for example every now and then will work fine to color up your story.
We all have a lot of fantasy and don't expect you to redraw everything - so please continue

Yeah, that's what I meant. We are fine with some ZX48K king of graphics, really. The story and getting together is what drives us to play.

But, sorry for your loss. I was being selfish, wanting the game made me forget about your unfortunate accident.
