Make sure you add two in-game screenshots here though, or else this thread would be locked.

SOME INFO

Backgrounds and sprites're from official SQ games and unofficial fanremakes. Main theme of game is Space Quest 4 (there's 'SQ12 timeline' in this game).

In SQ12 by Slash your hero is sequel police, enemy from official game. And you must find and destroy Roger Wilco ;) There're fun moments, nostalgia and it's nice game for fans.


In demo you must do part of Vohaul's mission. And also there're some easter eggs.


Btw, Slash Vohaul (Dr.Slash) created several new graphics from old ones (for example, SP in timepod, SP death, SP with ancient bird, etc).

You can take English tra-file from 1st post, it's my work. I'm not very good English speaker, so it's not perfect, but you can understand main thoughts and some parts of humour.


So enjoy! IMHO it's brilliance SQ 'VGA' work.

I greatly appreciate you taking the time to release an english translation on time with your demo/game.  It would be so much better if everyone producing games in non-English took the time to get a generic English translation first (even a poor one).  Looks good!

Edit:  Could you upload to a site that is English and doesn't require you to install any suspect addons to download a file?  Mediafire will do in a pinch.

While I completely agree with the point, I must note (since I have a knowledge of that nuisance) that you are not oblidged to install that. You can unclick the checkbox under download link, if I remember correctly (but yeah, still something annoying).

In fact I don't know why, but I can't edit any information about this game on it's page  :(

NsMn

Did you actually get the permission of Infamous Adventures to use that background form the SQ II remake?

DrSlash

in fact most of Labion bgs I used were made by Kippesoap and AGDI. Only one of them was made by IA

xenogia

You probably shouldn't use a background from IA's Space Quest 2 remake as they haven't released the game yet.  Or at least ask them out courtesy.

Darth Mandarb

This thread is a mess...

DrSlash - please update your original post to include the in-game screenshots and why do the "other" screenshots say Space Quest II?

blueskirt

Darth: Because the game will feature time travel?

DrSlash

blueskirt
you are right. it's because of time traveling. status bar changes just like in sq4

I disagree, any AGSer can do anything and rip any background and sprites. One problem is ripping resources from commercial games, but really it's not so "problemo", 'cause Doc won't sell this game. It's just free fan game for fun.

btw, this thread exists on IA's forum. So nevermind.


Doc gonna create second demo, probably in July 2010.

*really hopes this demo will work with Vista*   ;D

Blackthorne

Nope.  He didn't ask IA if he could use our SQ2 background.

But I'll take this announcement as "asking" and say yeah, we're fine with it.  Better to encourage people to make games than to slam them down, I always say.

Just feel free to send me a message next time and ask.  I could probably provide you with a better quality image.

Isn't that a _bit_ uncreative?

On the contrary, it's a fan implementation of a storyline that Sierra barely even bothered to bring up, save for Space Quest IV. Even the introduction to this fangame was interesting, as it provides an almost alternative-universe sort of perspective on the Space Quest series, told from the perspective of evil.
The fediverse needs great indie game developers! Find me there!

NsMn

Maybe you should've read the post before mine there - what I was talking about was time travel.

New demo (50% of the game) is available (+now in English)

Even if the beginning is english, the text labels while sitting in the shuttle are russian, so I can't read them. How do I enter the right coordinates?

DrSlash

#21
sorry, I'll fix it right now.

EDIT: wait, you mean codes in timepod? They are not russian. It's a non-existing xenonian language

PS my advice about coordinates: you should be very attentive while you are reading a briefing in dialogs

neon

Oh my god, I thought it's cyrillic... it isn't, it's just alien. ;-)

omg I've just found out that ALL texts in timepod ARE REALLY in russian... wtf I thought that I've translated them...

Well, at least that's fixable.

Loney Childress

I must be missing something in the bar.  After I get the oil can I can't figure out anything else to do.

DrSlash

do you  have  buckazoid?  you  can  get  it  in  timepod's  large  compartment  at  the  beginning  of  the  game

Loney Childress

Ah, I missed that compartment which was a big deal.

After getting the key card and stepping back out, I think there is a big.  I can't walk at all.

You mean, bug? I'll probably need a screenshot to figure out what was the reason of this bug

Darth Mandarb

Please post the screenshot via PM instead of in this thread!

I got a bug report about that bug yesterday. I'll fix it and upload fixed version as soon as I'll get some free time.

EDIT: fixed & uploaded

richiestreasure

I managed to play the demo to the end. It's a pretty awesome game, and I really hope the rest of you guys like it! I was a little confused in the Super Computer, and didn't realise I needed the spaceboy to do the scan Vohaul wanted. Maybe that could be explained a bit more. I also liked the use of shuttles and the search program to look for Wilco and the time pod. Maybe the sending of co-ordinates should be explained more to mention the shuttle. That would make it clearer.

DrSlash

I'm glad you liked it :) In completed version SpaceBoy will have more functions (like notebook, mission journal, map, radio, GPS), which will make the gameplay more interesting and easy.

Michael2968

Hi, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the game.  I am however having a problem towards the end of the game when you are in the shuttle and you are typing in estros and then roger wilco.  After I type all of it in and push enter it erases rogers name and if I type it again it erases it again and won't let me go any further in the game. 

Thanks,
Michael

DrSlash

Try typing 'timepod'. Thanks for enjoying the game :)

Thanks for your help. I finished the demo and I am looking forward to the full game release.

ZacksQuest

Aha! I thought someone would take that Space Quest IV joke and make it into reality someday! Just remember: keep the creepy screaming Vohaul and the giant robot. That was the best part. I also want to see how many new and innovative deaths you put in (which is the cornerstone of the Space Quest... er, empire, no pun intended).

Need any help with the game's English? I'm not a Russian speaker unfortunately, but I can at least help with the English already in the game.

Thanks man, but we don't need a help of proofreader at the moment. I'll make sure to let you know as soon as we'll need it ;)
