Favorite Kings Quest moment???

[Princess Rosella]

I have realized that poems and raps were not the best way to rally everybody into building Kings Quest hype.Ã,  So, I have a new proposition!!!Ã,  DRAW A PICTURE of your favorite Kings Quest moment!Ã,  ;DÃ,  People of all ages enjoy art, so this surely will not offend the youth audience like the poems and raps did.Ã,  I want to see drawings that are really moving, like King Graham hugging his love Valanice after rescuing her.Ã,  Now get to it!

[ManicMatt]

My fave moment (having never played it) is Esper's poem too, so here is how I imagine him in king's quest....

[esper]

Rock....



On....

My favourite moment was in King's Quest 5 when you got to savagely beat up Cedric the Owl.

Or maybe that was just in my dreams.

[Princess Rosella]

Real mature, kids!Ã,  I get it that poetry may be above your heads, but art is something really everyone should be able to jive with.Ã,  What should I do, encourage you all to create secret Kings Quest handshakes to use with your friends on the school bus?Ã,  Hello?Ã,  Why isn't anyone taking this seriously?Ã,  How do you expect to be a part of something great if you don't help out building the hype?

[Gilbert]

I'd like to beat Cedric too, especially when I bought the CD talkie version afterwards.

Spoiler

I wish Crispin won't fix Cedric when he's lying motionless on the ground.

Rosella: the simple answer is this-Ã,  We all have OUR OWN games to hype. I didn't join this forum to be used as a cog in the KQ elitist marketing machine. I joined because I am a creator. I create things, and I have to just about bust my own neck every time I do because getting people to take interest in your work is a real challenge. If we wanted to hype the new KQ game, we would join the new KQ game's forums. These are the Adventure Game Studio forums, for users of AGS, for creators of adventure games. I have been working hard to get my game seen by people, and it still, in 6 months of existance, has only been downloaded 520 times, and has not been commented on or rated. I'm sure that, without my assistance in making "hip rap songs and poems" and "works of art," the new King's Quest is going to have that many download's in it's first day, if not its first hour.

Besides, who are we building hype with? It's not like this is MSNBC. This is a niche forum, and only us game makers are on it.

I personally have lost all interest in the project, and will not be downloading or playing it.


PS: Get a sense of humor. You sound like a 43 year old marketing exec.

PPS: www.allpoetry.com, look up the poet "ESPER," and tell me how "above my head" poetry is. I almost missed that, but when I saw it, I couldn't let it go unpunished.

Ghormak beat me to it ;(.

How about a favorite QFG 4 moment?  "You pry open the sphincter with your dagger."  Now there's some advice that could potentially do certain people some good.  (Edit: Don't remember exact phrase.. but it's the principle of the thing)

[esper]

Grr. They had the gall to make QFG 4 a talkie, too. I was still an "impressionable young teenager" when I played QFG4, and my mother was not altogether pleased when that John Cleese soundalike said "You open the sphincter with your dagger" as she walked by my room.

I'm quite glad she didn't pass by during what was my absolute favorite QFG4 moment, though...

........The Rusalka.... Ohhhhh, yeah...

[ManicMatt]

Esper makes a very good point. I like this guy and I just realised I haven't even played his game yet. I shall put aside making my own to play it right this second!

(And... having never played kings quest, I'm not exactly excited, and rarely did like the sierra adventure games, although I'd probably give the forthcoming game a punt anyway.)

[Radiant]

Least favorite QFG4 moment...

when you're talking to Katrina all the time and you're just aching for the conversation option that says "Hellooooo! You're a friggin' vampire! It's bleedingly obvious! Can I just stake you now please?"  but of course the hero remains clueless.

Stupid railroad plot.

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

I enjoyed running away and hiding that time ad avis sent dogs to catch you.  Man, good times...

The paladin plot in QFG 4 was possibly the best in the series.  I played it earlier as fight/wiz/theif, and the first time i saw that ghost i thought "oh, crap..."

Rosella: the simple answer is this-Ã,  We all have OUR OWN games to hype.

That's all fine and dandy, so why don't you go hype that game instead of anti-hyping somebody else's.

[esper]

1) because if this is a thread to hype someone's game, it's in entirely the wrong place ANYWAY. If I started a thread like this it would get locked.

2) who's "anti-hyping" someone else's game? I was playing along, until I was mocked, along with alot of the other posters here, including CJ, for being immature.

3) because I can do what I please. This is a public forum. If this were in the place it should be, then I would not arrive simply to "anti-hype" the game like so many troll bastards before me. However, it is in gengen. I have spoken my piece, I have made "hip rap songs and poems" about the new KQ game, I have had a rather kickass piece of art made starring me (Tom Baker, actually)... I have been called (like I said, along with everyone else, including CJ) immature for speaking generally in a general forum and playing around in a lighthearted manner, and I have retaliated.  I have also been agreed with.

So shut the hell up, and defend someone who isn't being arrogant, condescending, and who isn't trying to use this community. I'm here for the ride, the fun, the friends, the community... Rosella, who at present has only 6 posts in this particular thread alone, has only come here SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE FORUMS, and us. I am a member of the community. She is, as I have just called her in a recent post, a "marketing exec" out solely for the purpose of getting more hits. I try to be a worthwhile member, and present my 2 cents, my arguments, my discussions, cool websites I have seen, and my game which I worked very hard on by myself. I participate in Sprite Jams and other contests, and have made a contest myself which was popular for at least a little while... I have made friends, and some good ones at that. I have assisted people with problems as best I could, and been assisted. I have had threads locked, and I have had threads become very popular.

So thank you for sticking up for someone who is obviously out entirely for self-gain. Go rectify a uranium rod.

[Nikolas]

I do believe that after my wonderfull post (which btw, has the absolutely same ideas as espers), Rosella was "loggin off".

I don't really mind this thread. Everyone who doesn't like to hype KQ (opps), this copy of another copied game who copied all fairy tale, had copyright problems but now don't and everythjing is fine with this huge publicity in their hands... (ooof), game, can stay away from this thread.

Hehe, I have an idea. After having a record deal with FM Records, I will go to the SONY/ Island/EMI Forums to create hype for my new record with FM Records... Futhermore, I will find a way to breach copyright and then use the bad news in my advantage...

Don't get me wrong

It is not that the creators of this wonderfull game (from what I've seen), planned on all of this, but I would like to get a real response from Rosella, or the people behind her/him (if any...).

Rosella, I honestly respect you for loving this game so much, but for some reason I don't find what you are doing here, and this whole thread really nice... Maybe it's just me...

I'm just here for the free food...

Looking at rosella's e-mail addy, it seems obvious that she is a member of the fan-games team (unless she is really DG, that sly bastard)and if that is the case, go make a games in production thread and get mad there if someone dosen't go along with hyping your game....

[esper]

Seriously, right?

Rosella: "Hi guys! The new King's Quest fan game is coming out soon! Is everyone as excited as I am? Let's hype it up!"

ManicMatt inserts a lighthearted picture of Doctor Who playing King's Quest and falling in the water, being a scene that has been spoken of fondly by others.

Rosella: "DAMN YOU ALL! BURN IN HELL, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE! YOUR MOTHERS SEW SOCKS THAT SMELLLLL!!!!!!!"

... and I'm the one getting flamed? Think again, cracker.

EDIT:

By the way...

Saydmell (or Say as she prefers to be called) is the Director of the PR and Web department, which is responsible for the recruitment of staff, management of contact with all third parties, development of the KQIX website and the community aspect of the project.

That doesn't happen to be you, does it, Rosella?

[Radiant]

Speaking of which, she probably doesn't want to hear what the reaction to KQIX was from the HOTU general public... oh well.
