Quest for Infamy / Re: Bt (Steve's) Kidney Failure
« on: November 04, 2018, 07:56:09 AM »
I strongly suggest you look into fasting and fixing your diet which is what caused your issues in the first place. Cut out ALL processed food and drink, all refined sugar, and eat minimally processed meat with some whole fruits and vegetables. This isn't some mystical belief or magical concoction to sell. Salt water fasting is free and backed up with real science. The absolute worst that will happen is you save money on food and still die anyway. Many people have cured their cancer, type-2 diabetes, STDs, autoimmune problems, and more through the power of our body's natural healing system, fasting.

Look into Dr. Jason Fung on the science of fasting, where he specializes in weight loss especially in relation to curing diabetes. Look into the Snake Diet on Youtube for a foul mouthed but passionate man who will motivate the heck out of you to actually do it as well as how exactly to do it. If you go to his Facebook Snake Diet Motivation group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/397925543877867/) he will probably give you free coaching considering your serious condition, if you're willing to do the accountability photos to document your before and after's to prove to the various skeptics that want you to stay sick and die that fasting actually works. Look at the results he gets, mainly in weight loss since that's his specialty, but many of these people also had medical conditions associated with obesity and a bad diet that got fixed:

People will say this didn't happen, that it's impossible. But what do any of us have to gain by lying to you? This is all FREE and our only goal is to see you healthy and happy.

I just looked at your gofundme page and didn't realize you've already had transplants and that your current kidney is utterly destroyed. Fasting is amazing for repairing the body but it can't rebuild what's been destroyed. Fasting also boosts your immune system, hence how it's able to beat "incurable" pathogens. Because of this immune system boost it *could* cause rejection of non-original organs. Despite this I still highly recommend you get coaching from someone on the Snake Diet Motivation group, coaches who have experience helping 100s of people lose weight and fix medical problems. If you actually listen to them and do this, you will lose the weight, fix your diet, hopefully get a new kidney, and because of the positive changes in your life and diet, you will most likely be able to keep this kidney for many years to come and be in good health. It's all free, what have you got to lose that you aren't already in danger of losing now?

It's not actually just a simple cropping - all the original information will still be there, but we've written code that will display what needs to be shown, and on some screens, it will scroll up or down 40 pixels so all the information is still there.  Just what's viewable at one time is limited by 40 pixels on some screens.  It's actually an interesting system.

I'm glad all the art will still be there, and it sounds like a very good alternative for making it possible to put on mobile. I was just scared we were going to lose part of the game :(.

BTW, I think you're drawing a pretty long line to connect changing a change in aspect ratio to censorship! :)
I thought we were losing 1/6th of the vertical art of every screen, and it kinda made me upset, so I used a strong word like censorship. Now I understand and it's all good :).

@Blackthorne

EDIT: This is a false alarm, read Blackthorne's clarification in the next post.

Why cut off 1/6th of the top/bottom art for the special edition/version 2.0? It would make far more sense to simply add some side borders. You get your new desired ratio and get to keep ALL of the wonderful art that was worked on so hard. Better yet make it optional. No one here would value the loss of art over a more desired aspect ratio. It's the same as censoring and I (and many others) hate censorship!

If your goal is to make the ratio mobile friendly, fine, have the ccropping be ONLY on mobile. And when you release the special edition/version 2.0 on pc please for the love of everything holy keep ALL the original art! It's not too late to prevent this mistake! I know that I would never rebuy such a product, and nor would many other people. Feel free to make and advertise such a poll if you don't believe me! "Would you buy QfI Special Edition if it meant you lost 1/6th of the art on the top and bottom compared to the original?" If you plan to give it away for free to owners of the original game replace "buy" with "play and enjoy". And be sure to give a screenshot example like what I did below to concretely illustrate your intentions. EDIT: Actually I added my own poll, didn't realize you could at first. But a poll sent to the Kickstarter backers would get a lot more attention.

This is what is being proposed. No matter how you do it, if you take a little more off the top or a little more off the bottom, you will be crippling your creation. Don't do it, please!


From the Kickstarter update 3-9-17:

"Shawn and I have been working on what we're calling the "Special Edition" of Quest for Infamy. It started off as a simple v2.0, but we decided to go in and add some features and ideas we've had - we'll have a more comprehensive list of additions and changes in the future, but some of them include moving the games aspect ratio from 320x240 to 320x200, to get a more rectangle aspect ratio, instead of a square one. This includes us having to resize and re-do some of the GUIs, and write code to decide what portions of art are visible in the viewing window of the game - it adds a nice dimension to the game, and it looks nicer on today's 16:9 monitors. We're also adding an alternate control scheme that should allow us to port the game more easily to mobile platforms, but it'll also be able to be used in the desktop/PC versions. As well as these changes, we hope to be able to create a stable Mac build that can run on its most recent OS. As far as gameplay, we're adding a few minor things, a couple surprises, and a few general tweaks we hope make the experience better. In the past few months, I've been playing QFI as a gamer for the first time in a long time, and I really have to marvel at the size of the world we created and the variety of quests, tasks and story threads we created for the game. Playing the game as a different class each time, I discover more little things we put in each class - and I also had to laugh at many little surprises and features/easter eggs we've put in that people still haven't found yet."

Quest for Infamy / Where is the QFI companion guide?

On April 22 it was claimed the book was coming out next month https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1992695780/the-quest-for-infamy-companion-art-strategy-hint-b/comments. Here it is over 2 months later and still no news updates for us backers. I backed for the physical edition. Also info@infamous-quests.com mailbox is full so I'm having to post here.
