Even easier:
Someone has an facebook account and enabled a connection to his/her email account.
You can be in his/her email contact list.
And there's the link how facebook can suggest you if you know him/her.
Not that scary, although it can suck 

Thanx guys 

Are semi-transparant dialog gui's (where you can choose an option to say to a NPC) for a 32-bit true color game supported for the current AGS version?

(it's 32bit alpha channel)

I wonder how that will affect sales by the way?
Do people still largely buy games to get a physical "trophy" box?
Would it for some people in fact be a dealbreaker? Thanks everyone for your thoughts and input. I appreciate it a lot.

I do like to buy a game being boxed yes.
But a dealbreaker if only digital: no.
As for digital bonus stuff: a 'making of' a.k.a. development video would also be cool.

Arj0n: I have no idea what goodies to bundle it with though, but I'm sure we can come up with something. Bundling a preorder with goodies feels mandatory if you ask me

Soundtrack, (Digital) Art Book, Concept Art Poster, TJD-HD Mouse Pad, Developer Diaries :  

Happy BD Akril-AAitG-15   

Question: will there be a pre-order possibility for TJD-HD? 

So is there a Draculator the first?

I was wondering, are there any (beta)testers needed for this project?

Edit:
looking at the first post it seems not.

Didn't found it, I just in my collection of AGS games.

[Running KQ VII - The Princeless Bride v1.4 (from the King's Quest Collection, 2006 Vivendi Edition) on Windows 7, 64-bit]

There's indeed a DOS and a WIN version of KQ7, I seem to have the 1.4 WIN version. Which is the worst KQVII version ever...

But: problem SOLVED!:

Running KQ VII - The Princeless Bride v1.4 (from the King's Quest Collection, 2006 Vivendi Edition) on Windows 7, 64-bit:

There is a patch that converts the "KQVII 1.4 Windows version" into the "KQVII 2.0b DOS version", it also converts the movies into DOS compatible files (RBT files).

1.:
Download the "DOSBox Patch for the 3rd King's Quest Collection (2006)" [grab it here, exe]

2.:
Select both the game and the DOS movies to patch

3.:
When you select the install location by browsing it will most probably be this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\King's Quest Collection(TM)\King's Quest Collection
Now remove the last directory, it's auto added by the patch. Now it will look like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\King's Quest Collection(TM)\

4.:
If you have chosen not to patch the movies by using the patch you can also download and manually add the 'DOS version movie files' (after the patch is finished). [Grab it here, rar].
Just extract them to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\King's Quest Collection(TM)\KQ7\AVI\" "or X:\<somewhere>\KQ7\AVI\".

5.:
Finish the patch and:

Enjoy KQ VII - The Princeless Bride v2.0b DOS via DOSBOX, running smooth and with sound! 




*me busy playing KQVII now*

Dosbox doesn't go with Win games.

I bought 7 off GoG again recently, when it was having a deal on those games, although I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, as I've been busy playing other games.

Can you please let me know if it works once you've got the time to test it out 

[Roberta Williams' King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride v1.4 (windows version)]

Some time ago I have bought the King's Quest Collection [2006 Vivendi Edition].
This edition is know for it flaws and I encountered a nasty one:
Today I tried to run Roberta Williams' King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride v1.4 (windows version) but it failed to run.  
My best guess is that this version might needs to be run as 16bit.


Once installed on Win 7, I got this message when starting up the game:

"This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.
Check you're computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit)
or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

(Official) patches doesn't work:
The official patch 'KQCollectionDBUpdate.exe' from www.sierrahelp.com doesn't work, can't seem to find the proper file(s)... And it might also be only for the DOS version since it has something to with DOSBOX.
There seem to be more patches around but these are all for the DOS version.

Virtual machine doesn't work:
I tried to run it on VMWare but then the graphics driver causes the game not to start.

Compatibility mode doesn't work:
Trying to run it in XP mode or Win95, 265 colors, 640x480, or any other setting: fail.

Anyone else have had this issue and know how to get it to run on Win7 64bit?  

This is the cover:

Please don't use "ze" for the. That is such a cliché!

A cliché sounds actually just about right for my purposes...is it an very offensive one?

"ze" still 'sounds' more german then french....

This looks amazing, the graphics especially, but I just wish we could see a screenshot without the huge conversation block over it.

Yes, I hope the portraits going to be a bit smaller so the conv. blocks will not be that huge
