Well, regardless of the name it's the best site to offer DRM-free music with FLAC option (and free streaming as a bonus). :)

I've generated codes for bandcamp and you should receive them soon!
if you didn't back the soundtrack option it's still available for $4.99 (26 tracks including bonus material)

Thanks for the heads up! I backed the game with OST included. Great to see you using Bandcamp for releasing the music :)

The Soundtrack is already available shmerl!  :)

You can get it here: https://jamesmulvale.bandcamp.com/album/order-of-the-thorne-the-kings-challenge-ost

Oh, thanks for the pointer! Then how do I get it as a backer (it's part of my reward tier)? I guess I missed some update about it.

I checked my Backerit account - it doesn't have any links to Bandcamp and such.

Do you plan to release the soundtrack sometime soon? I guess backers will get it at that time as well?

IQ Chat / Re: Order of the Thorne is out now!

Just started the game and I like it. Lute playing reminds me of Loom, and it's great! Just one suggestion. May be in addition to easy and hard mode, you can make an expert mode, where making a mistake won't produce a warning and canceling of the tune until one is done playing. I think it makes it more interesting and fun for those who like musical instruments. Loom actually does exactly that (if you are wrong, in the end of the draft it just says that it doesn't sound like a draft).

Quest for Infamy / Re: Get 50% off QFI Soundtrack this weekend!

That track has the baron/daughter audio mixed into the music in the VOC file.

Thanks, then there is no point trying to extract it from resources file.

I don't think so, it was codenamed QFI ROCK SHREDDER WAH, but got a proper name later on. I believe there was one track in the game that didn't make it, the prelude music - as it had the baron/daughter dialogue mixed in with it... I think.. I don't think that made it in anyway, if you notice something from the game (music not 2s sound effects etc) let us know and I'll make it available

Hi sickfiction. Did you manage to find that theme eventually? And do you know if audio.vox contains it as a mixed with speech audio, or it has a separate music file inside there?

Just got a Kickstarter update that Order of the Thorne is about to be released. Congratulations!

I will disagree on this as libraries pay a royalty or a one off payment to a book publisher (although it's a lot smaller than purchasing the book retail or even wholesale). Some of those titles are still for sale (Leisure Suit Larry for example), and others are in catalogs that are certainly owned by active corporations (Lemmings, Wolfenstein, Conquests of the Longbow).

Fair Use clauses generally don't allow for an entire book to be copied. Amount and substantiality are the key words and the point for copyright law (at least in the US) is that fair use is a defense against infringement, not a roadblock to being sued.


Whatever "affirmative defense" means, fair use can be viewed as a right, i.e. part of the copyright itself. Though that's some debatable subject, and has different opinions in the legal system. Regarding full or partial copying - in case of libraries fair use allows full copying, otherwise you won't be able to get full books in any library archive (which defeats the purpose of the library). Recent case with Google Books confirmed it: http://www.lawdownunder.com/google-books-project-covered-fair-use-doctrine/

Internet Archive case is a library, but I'm not an expert on how exactly they operate, so I don't know about how they deal with owners and etc. Who said they didn't pay for those, same as you said other libraries do?

About if some games are sold or not - surely, buying it is better, since you get something that you own (i.e. the purchase). When you borrow a library book, you can't own it. Same here. Personally I always prefer to buy games when they are sold (DRM-free). If some game is available for sale on GOG - I'd surely buy it rather than access through such site.

I absolutly promise that if the IP owners knew of that site they would demand their games be taken down. At the least the big companies like EA, Activision etc. I think it far more likely they don't know about it than they are ignoring it.


I'm not expecting anything else from EA. They are part of the ESA who are in general very hostile to fair use (see my link above about the recent incident). I.e. they'd sue even if it would be for sure legal. Just because.

About ESA, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Association

Not surprisingly they also supported SOPA and the like.
