Quest for Infamy / Re: Any news about "Roehm to Ruin"?

Yeah, we're wrapping up... hopefully.  I just released another beta to be gone through.  Goatmeal's right; I want to record voices in Jan/Feb 2019, and get them in. Test that, make sure it works.  Then somehow get this out there.

Mage's Initiation is coming to GOG!

Good, there's no reason it shouldn't be on GoG.

Heh, you know, I have yet to see this Pirates movie.  I gotta get on that.


Getting replies on the forum is tough; I've tried to write more here, but even I lapse in that.

Favorite Movie Scenes?

Man, I could probably list 1000.... anytime except for now.  I'm totally drawing a blank right now.  I know I'll think of 8 when I'm not on the internet....

EDIT:

Okay, totally - the film? Alien (1979 - Ridley Scott)

When they first go down to the surface of LV-426 and see The Derelict Spacecraft.  That thing has haunted my dreams for decades.  Even then they tried to "explain" in in Prometheus, I'm still intrigued by what I saw and knew nothing about in Alien.  And going further, when they first find the "Space Jockey".  Amazing.

I love Pac Man. I'll still pump quarters into the old cocktail version of it sitting in the corner of an ancient Pizza Hut!!

Hah, I didn't realize you made the mock up.  I know somebody actually DID go back and make an alternate Pac Man using the 2600 hardware.  It's more like the arcade.

Hah, that's not even the version of Pac Man we all grew up with on the 2600.  It was like this - the maze was different than the arcade version; the "tunnels" were on the top and bottom, instead of the sides!

I just got an NES Classic (mini) as a gift, and it's awesome.  Hacking it was so easy, I have a bunch of other stuff on there.  Well worth the price, but the controller cord is short.  I'd get some from somewhere else.

They want to sell it on GOG, but GOG hasn't approved it for sale yet.

We can't all be expert GOG schmoozers like you, Steve. 

Hey, I got in on the ground floor when they were smaller.  Not my fault I make friends easily, hahaha!

McDonalds is an American classic.

In n' Out is fun to go to.  Maybe it's a novelty to me, cause I live on the East Coast of the US, and they're only out west, but I enjoy a double-double animal style.

Popeye's has pretty good chicken.

Taco Bell is great at 3 AM when you're wasted.

It's funny to think about this.

Currently, I would die.

I mean, I hunt, I fish, I've camped in the wilderness.  But the fact is if I have no access to a dialysis machine, I'm dead in two weeks, max.  Most likely sooner.  My blood would become toxic, but I'd also gain so much fluid weight, I'd drown and/or have a heart attack from the stress.  I am kept alive by the grace of modern medcine and medical technology.  It's weird to live under such constraints, but that's my life.

Yeah, the game will be released, for sure.  I'm friends with people who have worked on it and play-tested it.  If anyone understands budget problems and long development times, it's me haha.  But yeah, it'll be finished and released.

Shawn covered my own inferences about Scott's involvement.  I do know that he was not only very sick, but had a very big personal/family issue during development too.  The comments section on Kickstarter for it is a wasteland, there's some really nasty people over there who are just bitter and angry and taking it out there.  The game will be released someday, people will either like it or not, and maybe those people will bitch to each other in a circle jerk for a little bit, but then it will be done and this will all fade into obscurity.  Such is the nature of some such projects.

Hah, if you wanna go gold school and back to parser, which you don't but I'm gonna mention it anyway, there's always Maddog Williams, which was made by a bunch of cool dudes back in the day - they pitched it to Sierra, but Sierra passed and they released it on their own.  You can download it for free on their website.
