Title: Conquests of GOG
Post by: Brainiac on May 05, 2017, 09:15:36 AM
Christy Marx's work at Sierra (https://www.gog.com/game/conquests_of_camelot) is now available on GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/conquests_of_the_longbow) for $6 each.

Possibly of even greater interest, GOG did a short interview with her (https://www.gog.com/news/interview_with_the_creator_of_the_conquests_adventures) which revealed that she had at least some preliminary ideas for two other Conquests games; here's hoping she gets the chance to make them someday.

Amusingly, someone mentioned IQ as a potential partner in the comments on GOG (https://www.gog.com/forum/general/interview_with_the_creator_of_the_conquests_adventures_aa1c3/post15). Anyone think we should direct Ms. Marx towards the for-profit groups that have grown out of the fangame scene?

As much as I'd love to work on something like a Conquests game, I think it would be a case of handing a company a (brilliant) design document and saying, please build this. I think Steve and I love designing too much to work with a big name like her. That said, I'd play the hell out of the game when it came out!

EDIT: To clarify, I say that with no knowledge of how Christy Marx (or another designer I admire like Scott Murphy or Jane Jensen) works, whether it would be collaboratively or what. But I'd be always second guessing my own opinions and thoughts because I hold these people in such high regard and I'd want to do whatever they thought.

I'd only do it if we could have the proper budget. That's the biggest obstacle.  Anything else you can deal with, but to do a game like that right - you'd need the money.

  Hi all!;)  Hey I think that Conquests of Camelot and Conquests of the Longbow are two of the best games Sierra ever put out, other than the Hero Quests games,  (oops I mean Quest for Glory Series.)  I own them both on disks no less.  Hell I think IQ should try to make a game with Ms Marx.  Yeah I  know its all about money, Shit what isn't?  On a different note, whats the status of Roehm to Ruin, and the furure of IQ? Are you all disbanded, or what?  Thanks, Chadly. :)

NO GAMES..

i was like huh, why ?

just because was the finite answer.
love the games but she was not a nice person to fans esp later.
