Just think of all the Easter Eggs people never find!  

Thanks Darth!

Sorry, I forgot to mention:

If you visit my website and you can't see the menu, the color is set to the Default Font color.  So if your Default Font color is black, you won't see nothin!

Instead, go to Tools -> Options and click on Colors and click on use Windows Colors.  If this doesn't fix it, manually change your Link colors so you can see them.

Deltamatrix,

Thanks for your input.  We're ready to go.  It's like an unstoppable train now... who knows who it's going to plow into. Maybe another train?  I told Vamp3D that once I post Laura standing in a background or two, the flamers won't have much to talk about.  What fun is that?

Check out this awesome article: http://www.adventuregamers.com/display.php?id=329  "Commercial Adventures Are Dying? Hooray!" by Dave Gilbert

Also Ken Williams Q&A is great: http://www.adventuregamers.com/display.php?id=325

Aaron Loeb, Planet Moon Studios mentioned this about today's adventure games on the same Q&A page:
"[Designers] talk about them for very good reasonsâ€"we played them when we were kids and they convinced us that computers could be used to make incredible stories and game experiences. The question is, how do you take the best parts of adventure games (the fact that they seem to plug right into your imagination, make you part of a story and a world, make you actually feel something about characters) and bring them to modern games for a mass audience? It’s a very interesting and difficult to answer question."

I believe the answer lies in marketing campaigns that sell eagerly-anticipated games (like Colonel's Bequest).  On top of that our responsibility is to make YOU the Laura character, so you can enjoy a classic adventure game experience without being distracted by the form of the game (like text parser and blocky graphics).

Have a Happy New Year!!!!!

P.S. Some of you may get annoyed but I can tell when this page is updated.  I check the index and see if anyone has posted.  If they haven't, I close it (takes 2 seconds to check).  Also you can surf anonymously if you wish to ask a forum why they banned you, just go to: http://www.space.net.au/~thomas/quickbrowse.html

I recommend ProxyWeb, but it's your choice.  I know lots of tricks...

P.S.S. My apologies to Text Parsers and Blocky Graphics... you guys have your place!  Retro is cool.

Jesus Christmas!

   Stop the madness people!  Erpy, arguing with Jodo isn't going to do one bit of good.  Just forget about it.  ALL OF US..... let this LIE..... let's come back at a later date and see if he comes up with anything....... let's forget the past, start a new year over, and give him time to show he's working on something.  This thread isn't doing ANYONE a bit of good!  We can critique when he posts something new, or adds to his site.  Until then, let's just stop!

Bt

Yer a pawn in my marketing blitz campaign.  You are increasing awareness of my project.  Thank you for your support!

This goes for Vel too.  Nothing you will say now will diminish the enjoyment people will get from the game.

Jodo Kast

People have played my demos, so just because you didn't, so what?

Are you going to continue to post about it and cry about it and say, maybe next year?

I think you will!  Cuz you are doing exactly that... flaming flaming flaming.

Jodo Kast

Panda,

The only demos that were discussed were carried over from my ban at Tierra Forums.  For this reason I can no longer support my earlier released demos.  There's lots of new content and more stuff coming at the website (which you should visit if you say I haven't done anything).  Plus I'm sure replying to your post qualifies as doing something related to my project.

If you want to ban me, that's fine (as you stated earlier - I am banned).

So I get to ignore you.  It's fair, right?

I'll try not to ignore your posts if they are written intelligently (as Erpy has shown), but for now there's nothing new for me to say.

Jodo Kast

I think Fifi is sexy enough.

What do you guys think.  I'll make her look like Lara Croft.... lol.

Jodo Kast

BerserkerTails,

That demo was made by LucasFan thats why the backgrounds were so beautifull!!!

Then why the he11 was it posted in my thread?  Because LucasFan, Angelus3K and Vel are professional Flamers.

Is there anybody I'm forgetting?  Erpy is forgiven cuz it's his job to represent Tierra forums.  I can't even read the Tierra forums so I'm not sure why he thinks I can, or even care to.

Jodo Kast

Why would I care about the characters and how they look if it wasn't real?

Most of what I know about creating backgrounds I have learned in the C&C forums, so hopefully you'll like what you see.

Jodo Kast

penish

I agree.

Jodo Kast

That's a fake demo made by professional Flamers.

Lucasfan and Vel are professionally flaming me.  It's great!

Keep up the marketing blitz pawnz!

Jodo Kast

Erpy,

After you banished me from your AGDI forums, I am ignoring your 'wavelength'.

Bryce,

Why does it happen, whenever I feel like I am PERFECT, I go and screw up?!  You are right the e-mail address is actually lbcbr2004@yahoo.com  .  Feel free to keelhaul me for that one.  I am the biggest S.O.B. this planet has ever had to endure.  Most likely my future mistakes will make this one seem trivial.  I just want to warn you now.

Panda,

PumaMan already posted that these types of posts are inappropriate.  That is why you see poltergeists deleting messages... cuz posts of your nature fan the flame of others.

BTW, Panda,  I'll add Look Out Productions to my personal blacklist of companies/groups who are so competitive in nature, they leave nasty posts on message boards.

Thanks for your input/feedback/support!  Remember even if you post nasty things on my thread, I still appreciate the fact you care so much about the new Colonel's Bequest.  Even tho you may not agree with my public relations strategy (inspired by Karl Rove), the game itself will not embarrass the AGS community.

Jodo Kast

Pumaman I appreciate it.  

I *did* have to start over here in your forums, and the first thread did mention the demos I made for the folks over at AGDIforums.  With this new thread, I removed the references to the problems I encountered at AGDIforums, and removed references to the demo, but Erpy is still bringing it up again.

If I was banished from this forum, I would not return or acknowledge any of the work I had done here as well.  That's how it is when you are banished.  Both parties say 'Fthis' and go their separate ways.

So please Erpy, Vel, Blackthorne, MuzlakOofmay, go your own way and please ignore my project.  Or use fake names so when I see your message I don't automatically ignore it as Spam/Flame.

Thanks!

Jodo Kast

Jodo, I wasnt very optimistic about your remake in the first place, but this modern days thing simply sucks. This wont be much of a remake, if it is being done and if it ever gets finished.

Thanks for your support!

Jodo Kast

Remember Erpy!

Nothing on AGDI Forums makes a DIFFERENCE because you deleted it!

It's gone!

Get over it!

Jodo Kast

BTW. the Cellphone doesn't work.  Laura can try it again and get the same response.

Must be because the island is out in the bayou?

BTW: I felt the original KQ2 plot was superior to the rewrite, only because I got sick of looking at the muddy VGA graphics. See?  Even a good plot can't save bad graphics.  You just want it to frickin end already and kiss Valanice.  This is my opinion, and I'll trot it out happily...

Jodo Kast

Please see my previous message regarding my demo and Kazaa.

If Erpy had not deleted my posts and banned me from their forums I would be more than happy to help you with Kazaa.  

But Erpy made it clear I have to start over in this forum.  So you can look at the website or help me with the game (see first post in this thread).

Do you get it yet?  It's hard to respond to one Erpy who banishes me.  It might be better if you used a different name so I don't automatically ignore you.  You see, DEMOS EQUAL AGDIFORUMS.  I am banished and my threads were deleted, the only place where I tell people to expect demos in 2003.  Now read the first post of this thread over again.  It says demos in 2004.  No mention of demos that have already been released.  If you want to find them, search for technology demo or lbcbr in Kazaa.  If the 3 people who downloaded my demos don't share you can blame them.  I deleted my Test Demos I created specifically for the visitors at AGDIFORUMS.  For more than obvious reasons!  Now I am banned so the project starts anew (as you can see from the website).

Thanks for understanding.

Jodo Kast

MuzlakOofmay,

The demos are on Kazaa.  Why insist on whining about what I am - or am not - doing for you?  I am not your personal slave.

Future releases will be distributed differently, so don't worry about it, I won't use Kazaa again.  I know you'll like the game.

Jodo Kast

Blackthorne,

You asked about the hairstyles.  The new game takes place in present time, so that might answer your question.

The house will look old and with 'retro' 1930s interior design so you will feel like you are in the past when you are in the mansion.  Some of the dates are changed but the story is the same.  The family tree will need some updating to fit...
