Banter and Chit-Chat! / Re: Recommendation for File Sharing?
« on: April 06, 2014, 12:05:30 PM »
I find google drive the most useful, particularly when you're sending it to someone who may not have a dropbox account etc. (like parents or non computer savvy friends)  I use it for everything that's too big to stick in an email, and it just gives you a download link they can use without having to register anything.

Was that the kind of thing you meant?

Yes, that's the exact sort of thing I was looking for!  Thanks for the suggestion, Corrigan & Collector!   :)

We have/had plenty of regional differences here, too, but when commercial radio began there was a consensus to us a standardize pronunciation. Because it was deemed the most readily understandable across all regions, Ohio Midwestern was chosen. This has had a bit of an homogenizing effect. Also, given how transient we have become since WWII.

That's the region I'm originally from...  We refer to our dialect as "lack of accent."   ;)

Hahaha...wow.

You know, I am VERY tempted to make a tuba sprite that we can throw into the background of Prospero's shop.  Just as an easter egg homage to this awesomeness.

You could give it a really cool occult artifact name, like "The Tuba of Torment" when you click on it!

Hey, wait a minute...

"...visit Prospero in the... MUSIC shop" ?!?!?

If this typo is in any way indicative of the shoddy quality you bums are going to be unleashing upon us, the unsuspecting consumers, then I just may have to rethink my backing for this highly questionable companion.  My reputation in the Kickstarter community is on the line here, folks!

Either that, or the art department peoples better start putting lutes and pianos and tubas and harmonicas into the MAGIC shop background, post haste!

Or was this an example of a RED HERRING that we all know and love?...   ;)

Wow.  I'm away for a day or two and you have a fully-funded Kickstarter completed in mere hours...

Since it's already funded, I guess I don't have to contribute now.  I'll just get the PDF from one of your more <ahem> "questionable" supporters...

....which is just about all of them!   ;D

Yes - we wanted to be closer to the release date of the game, so we could make sure we sent out all the swag, including the QFI Companion, at the same time.... and that time is now!


'Bout time!   >:(

You're telling me!!!


I haven't been able to finish the game without it...   :(

Quest for Infamy / Re: Designing the IQ logo
« on: January 19, 2014, 01:29:17 PM »
So that's what it is. I'll be honest here, I thought it was a shield with a face looking to the right. With a creepy Joker-like smile.

I'm not sure if that what it was intended to be, but that's what I imagined it was: a path you see in an adventure game, and you click the mouse to start your journey...

...And now _I_ can't help seeing the creepy character face in the shield!  Thanks a lot, Intendant S!   >:(   ;D

Thanks for the post, Broomie.  As an amateur (VERY amateur) graphics designer, I'm always fascinated to see the progress of pictures, logos and typefaces as they move toward the finished versions.

And the swash / road leading off into the distance on the shield was a brilliant touch -- "Adventure is only a click away"...

Here's my pixel version of the terrific logo (and a smoother one):

     Remember that Quest For 3D project?  Where the Town of Spielburg (VGA) was being rendered in a 3-D environment?

     Well, there's a small update; the Magic Shop is well on its way towards completion...

     PS Definitely check out the video if you haven't before (heck, it's great enough to watch over and over!):

Yes, many congratulations!


Many congratulations to you and your family!  I know he took his sweet time making his arrival, but I'm sure wee Alexander has proven more than worth the wait already :)


Alexander, huh?

Um...  You're not going to call him Gwydion for the next 17 years, are you?
