I really appreciate what you've done here, it's helping me alot with my qfg project.

Thanks mate, that is exactly what I set out to do when I constructed this list and my website. Let the great old projects of the past inspire great new ones!



BTW once again if anyone has news, material and/or information not already covered above please let me know!

[Blake's Sanctum - Quest For Glory Series]

Hey everyone. My little pet project webpage dedicated to all the QFG fan games is essentially finished! Before anyone points it out yes I know it's pretty basic, but I only know basic html and made it all in notepad occasionally pasting in freely available scripts & code. Never really had the time/money to take a proper course lol!

Blake's Sanctum - Quest For Glory Series

Obviously I've still gotta finish my playthroughs of QFG3,4 & 5 but the fan game section is done. They'll probably be little updates as people are still contacting me with QFG games I didn't know about but most of the work is behind me.

Orion (Project Katrina) over at QFMG nicknamed my page the 'graveyard site' for QFG fan games and he's quite right lol.. so many dead projects. Now at least some of them will live on and hopefully inspire more project ideas from the surviving studios in the future. There are also some great successful projects there and I've done my best to show them off and support their great work either by linking other peoples good walkthroughs, maps & videos or by making my own (QFG4.5 has my biggest contributions).

I've got to say big thankyou's to the people that have helped in the forums and who have contacted me privately with information, pictures and files! Notably Corby over email (Heroine's Quest, Conquests of a Hero), Radiant in the posts above, and Orion at QFMG forums (Project Katrina & HOIK) for help on their respective projects and other projects. I still welcome any information that can help fill the gaps in the list above & my page, plus I'm sure there's more projects out there I don't know about. But for now I hope people like!

Oops. Wrong link.

Here the right link for Quest for Orgy  on my website:
http://membres.multimania.fr/agisite/ags001.htm

cheers for that.. have updated the link and have tried out the game. It was... interesting lol

I have made a few updates to my list including adding 2 new games to my list (thanks to Radiant and Corby):
Glorious Quest
Conquests of a Hero/A Hero's Tale/Quest for Heroism (they never decided on 1 name)

The webpage I'm building from my research above is almost finished. Will post it soon.

The site is not dead: the page was renamed.
http://membres.lycos.fr/agisite/autre001.htm

The site that hosted and had information on QFO is essentially dead though as the current site does not have it any more. I've adjusted the wording though.

Okay,

• For what it's worth, I've also got a mirror of HOIK at http://crystalshard.net/index.php?p=8&s=74
  
• To my best knowledge, no video trailers have ever been made for any of the games mentioned. There certainly aren't any for Heroine's Quest or Quest for Yrolg. Overall it is pretty rare for any fangame to release a video trailer in the first place, and most of these projects predate the wide availability of internet video.
  
• To my best knowledge, no demos have ever been created for Project Katrina or QfI. I believe a demo for Nightfall and SFLAH exists, but has only been available to their respective development teams.
  
• IA is active on these forums, so they should be able to answer your questions. As far as I know, QfI has been put on indefinite hold because IA is working on several other games instead, most notably SQ2.
  
• And, of course, if you have questions about Yrolg, Glorious Quest, or Heroine's Quest - shoot.
  
• And come on, it's spelled "Youtube".
  

Thanks Radiant!

• Thanks, I've added your page to HOIK along with one I forgot Orion (proj Katrina) gave me.
  
• Yeah vids are pretty rare, I managed to find either a copy or at least a mention of trailers for a few games so I made it a 'category' to check for all just in case there were more I didn't know about. For some I even started making my own (eg QFG4.5) to create more youtube interest in fan projects.
  
• That's a shame there were no public demos for those games, the nightfall screens are most impressive. I found 3 demos for SFLAH but 2 are 1 screen towns and the 3rd much larger demo testing day/night cycles just uses KQ5 graphics. If they had a proper demo its shame they never released it publicly. I want the mentioned but not found Destiny & Hero6 forest demos so bad lol.
  
• Yeah I posted this same thread at IA before I came here, some of them have been quite helpful (it even inadvertently started a QFG5 de-make convo lol) but they've been tight lipped on QFI so far.
  
• Thanks indeed I do! I've downloaded and tried out your Glorious Quest demo. Was very impressed as a working combat engine is the nightmare task of any QFG project and you almost knocked it down in a demo lol! Although I tried to kill the guard but after hitting him an enormous amount of times I gave up. Tried to exit the sides of the screen and also tried entering the building but had no luck. Is there anything else in the demo I've missed out on? Can the guard be killed if I keep at it?
  
• lol sorry! I got lazy, have corrected to Youtube lol
  

[EDITED 23/3/2013]

EDITED 23/3/2013 - This was originally a huge post containing details on my investigations into each game project. I don't want to have to update multiple posts every time something changes, and now that the website is finished this list is no longer required anyway.

To see the information that was originally here you can now visit my finished Quest for Glory Page. If you have demos, videos, and pictures that I don't have for projects in my list please contact me. Also please let me know if there are there any other QFG related projects out there that I haven't listed here.

Ahh hello Radiant, I've been having email correspondence with one of your fellow Crystal Shard members Corby who's been enormously helpful with my website (& he just gave me another game to look into)!

Thanks heaps for the information! I see your searches have yielded similar results to mine which I'll post in a moment (I'm sure you'll find what I have useful).
However I did not know about your Glorious Quest. I will look into it ASAP. Thanks again!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a Quest for Glory section on my website with information, pictures, videos, walkthroughs & maps (some made by me), and downloads for each of the games as I play through them.

I've also been working on a large QFG related fan games section devoted to all the successful and particularly the unsuccessful projects (AGS & MAD etc). I've noticed over the years as many of them have died and their websites have gone down resulting in all their great work disappearing never to be seen again by the fan community to inspire new projects. Despite the many closures I've been hunting down old previews, old site hostings before they moved, and even web-archive on the dead ones to find any pictures and information that I can save & create a tribute page to each fallen game.

Some of you may recognise me as I've already posted this in a couple of AGS/QFG fan community forums (AGDI, IA, QFMG) and got some extra names I didn't know about but you guys may know more. I also worked with the afore mentioned forums a few months back when I was constructing a detailed Quest for Glory 4.5 walkthrough, map & fan page which is now all finished!

This is my latest summary of the website list below.

Website:
https://blakessanctum.x10.mx/Games/QFGSeries/
(Note: Originally built in 2001 this website is still deliberately very late 90s early 2000s retro in design. So if you're not nostalgic for old retro websites with music, animating gifs & left click browsing then you probably won't like it)

I noticed some people asking for Quest for Orgy earlier in this thread, until then I'd never even heard of it lol. The links are long dead. Does anyone have it?

I've also noticed 2 different titles:
Quest for Orgy I: Sodom, Graham and Gomorrha
Quest for Orgy I: So You Want to be a Porn Star

Is it the same game with a name change or did 2 different authors use the same main title?

Also notice 2 sequels were in the making but I'm guessing they never got finished:
Quest for Glory II:  Sex Slaves of Shapeir
Quest for Orgy III: Castle of Dr. Pain

lol@the dodgy titles


Oh and I'm still on the hunt for that Hero6 forest demo lol

Here ya go!

http://www.corbydesigns.com/hqdemo.zip

I'd love to see that forest demo as well. I still remember the music and trying to catch that fox. I'm 90% sure it was made in the MAD engine however.

EDIT: http://mad-project.sourceforge.net/screens.shtml

Thanks Corby! Look forward to seeing the hq demo when I get home.

And yes thats definitely pictures of the elusive Hero6 demo. I don't know if it was in the MAD engine either. The waterfall demo was converted to AGS by AGD1 I believe but the forest demo was much larger so who knows.

@Blake00:

Your confusing that demo with this one, Heroine's Quest Demo ?

As Radiant is, I'm looking too for that demo b.t.w.... Anyone?

Nope not confused cause I'm also looking for the Heroine's quest demo as well lol, I was just gonna ask for that later as I wanted the hero 6 one more lol.

If you click on the second link in my previous msg you can see screenshots of the Hero 6 forest demo.

It is also mentioned here (7th news item down). That's only 1 example, I've also seen the forest demo (not the basic waterfall one) announced in news across many old and dead fan project websites. Also seen it mentioned in multiple forums. They all say the same thing, a forest demo with muiple screens where you can interact with a couple of characters and solve a quest. Problem is they all just link to www.hero6.com which doesn't do any good as the demo doesn't seem to be there anymore.

At the media/download section on the Hero6 site it has the 1 screen waterfall demo but I’ve seen pics at a Preview Site and talks in various forums of a larger Forest demo released to the public yeeeaars ago out there where you can walk around a forest and complete 1 quest but I cannot find it!
