very nice backgrounds. I like the 'embedded' comic book style.
I liked the proportions and the colors especially.
It seems like you did ALL the job on paper (sketch plus colorising) and you just scanned them.Am i right?

Moresco : maybe i made a mistake for not telling what i wanted. And The best would be to post just a screenshot. The text does not play serious role in the demo anyway.

AGA : i know, i wish  he updated his site though . . .

rodekill : yeap i used filters too much . Do you know a technique
other than filters to suggest me? I think texturing is the more professional way, but when i used it, i had a problem : it did not have ANY resemblance at all with sierra graphics of 1992! And i would like to imitate the exact technique of this era.

tomorrow i will get a tablet and i will try a new screenshot vel  . . Maybe it will improve the final result.who knows

moresco : i was not complaining.I just wanted opinions about the art and text . . not the speed.
Anyway i will try to figure a way to fix the speed problem.maybe changing the values of character frame speed as keiko said.
i see what you mean about the remake of interface.At first i had thought to use the space quest 4, because you know, it was classic and functional.But now from what you are saying i find it a good idea to make it more colorful, or use more modern icons. I will see what i can do.

Minimi, thanks for the advice.

Keiko thanks!i see what you mean . .for example the line of tree is too crisp.I will try to fix it.

well.you did not loose anything. There are only two rooms.
The point of "that thing" :

The second room is the original ega
and the first is the remade one.I put EGA version in order to help the viewer to recognise the location of labion, and to watch the difference.I did not post screenshots, because the demo has also text for various interactions. You found it slow.Perhaps you could try to increase the slider of the speed in the menu.
Or use 320x200 resolution. My second pc is celeron 300 A overcclocked at 450 Mhz and plays tierra titles decently. Believe me if tierra games are ok, then you should not have a problem with this simple demo at 320x200 and with slider at full speed

The point of this thing was to experience a feeling of interactivity, instead of watching a screenshot. It is a matter of personal choices. If you do not like to download demos, then you should not.

""Other than that for the short time it 'seemed' like SpaceQuest simply cuz you have the same interfaces and such.""

i will answer you with what you said :
" if you would squeeze some more speed into it, I'd give it more time."

so if you want and can give it some more time then come and tell me what it lacks from being a space quest.

""One thing I should mention is that all the remakes out there are good, but you're remaking it, not copying it, why do you insist on using the same interface(even the icons are the same), puzzles, etc...?? I just don't get it is all & this is not really directed at you. I think every remake out there except KQ2 bores me(referring to all remakes even the Sierra ones). That's probably why I prefer originals & fan-games so much.  Why don't you make SpaceQuest: The Mop Series? About training to become a janitor...come on that has to be a funny series...how the heck did he even land THAT job? ""

i am copying space quest 2 ?let me ask you something.  .have you ever played space quest 2? go and play and tell me then if i copy the interface and sprites of space quest 2.
i am using the interface and sprite of space quest 4, and i believe a lot of people would like to have a remake of space quest 2 in such way.My intention was to copy sq4.that's all.What other people believe about this?

on the other hand if you find the whole process irritating i will post only the screenshot later.

At last i would like to have opinions concerning the artwork and the text of the demo, and not statements regarding if it is right to remake a game or not.The last question does not bother me. If someone does not like remakes, then he does not have to download them.so simple.

hello
this is my first post in these forums

i have made a room of space quest 2 with my own graphics.
here is the link :
