Hi guys :)
I figured it was finally time to drop by and publicly announce my Quest for Glory IV 3D project. After years of tributing other peoples awesome QFG fan games at Blake's Sanctum (http://blakessanctum.x10.mx/Games/QFGSeries/) I decided to have a go at making my own QFG fan game.
QFG4 3D is a total conversion single player 19 map mod for the classic game Hexen with the ZDoom enhancement. The mod contains new levels, textures, decoration, weapons, monsters, NPCs, cutscenes, music & sounds taking players on an old-school linear 3D action adventure set in the world and story of the great classic Sierra game Quest for Glory IV - Shadows of Darkness.
Before anyone else says it I'd like to say that QFG4 doesn't need to be in 3D, nor is my project an attempt to convert every single part of the game to 3D (if you want to do everything in QFG4 then go play QFG4 haha). I created QFG4 3D just for fun and to see if I could actually do it lol. Plus it was rather fun to create new areas/views not seen in the original game (eg I show more of the town & give you 360 degree views of each original game location). So if others happen to enjoy this project too then that's a bonus, but if you're not a fan of retro gaming & graphics then this probably isn't going to be of much interest to you.
I used the old Hexen/Doom engine as I lack the graphic & programming talents to use a modern game engine, plus I wanted it to retain the look at feel of the era when QFG4 came out. However the ZDoom/GZDoom extension updates the old engine quite a bit to use true 3D, OpenGL effects & now in 2016 it even supports VR! So if you ever wanted to walk around Mordavia as if you were there then this is your chance (at least until someone else does a much better job haha).
Hope you guys enjoy this first demo below. Be warned that it will likely be a long time before there's another demo, I've spent nearly 2 years on this & another project and have sacrificed a lot. I'm burnt out & want to do other things, including getting back to PLAYING games instead of making them lol!

Oh and the other project I worked on isn't related to QFG or Sierra gaming but if there's any trekkies here they may enjoy it. I've been working on a Star Trek - The Next Generation Doom level where you fight against the Borg and Species 8472 which I'll be releasing in a few days too. Demo video here:

Not bad, not bad! Keep up the good work, QfG4 if my personal favorite in the series, would love to see a different version of it, or any project related to it for that matter.
I myself also tried converting a scene from a Sierra game (Space Quest 1) into 3D a couple of months ago. It's just one screenshot though, no real project and nothing playable:

@Blake00 (http://www.infamous-quests.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=201) awesome work on both remakes. Can't wait to play them, but doom style is a bit dated for the kids. For us it's awesome. Keep up the good work guy.

@DrSlash (http://www.infamous-quests.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=158) that looks awesome! Unlike me you actually have real legitimate 3D artist talent haha
@Chadly (http://www.infamous-quests.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=31) thanks man, and you can play QFG4 3D right now if you want. Playable demo is available. :) ST Doom demo should be out next weekend.

Still catching up on some recent PC Gamer magazines. Blake00's QFGIV-3D was mentioned in the recent March 2017 / #289 issue (U.S. version).
Located on page 90 under their "Top 10 Downloads" section, it's #1:

HOLY S***! I nearly had a heart attack when my mod appeared in Rock Paper Shotgun back in Jan.. but now PC Gamer!!! Wow!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I've gotta try and get my hands on a copy! I normally get the UK PC gamer here in Aus but I do see the American one's occasionally in stores.
Is this the right one?

Congratulations.
I will check my issue when I get home today.
EDIT:
Yes, that is the correct issue.

Well it turns out I don't have to go find a PC Gamer US as I just opened up my PC Gamer UK (which I get every month) for February and there it is!! :)
I never thought I'd make that.. the mag I've been collecting since I was a boy.. they've even stuck in an extra picture! It's also the only one of the top 10 that is bigger than half a page and has more than 1 pic.. that's just crazy!!! :)
