We thought about making a game for a bit but then we blew all the money getting brazilians and frosted tips for our beach holiday with the two guys and jane whatshername. Sorry to break it to you like this, guys, you have been living a lie. Gotta go, spilt piña colada on my iPhone 7. Fiesta!

The
ONLY way this would be acceptable is if you had all gotten frosted-tipped brazilians.
====================
I knew it. I KNEW IT !!! I KNEW it was all a hoax !!!
Now I feel like a chump... How could it have gone so wrong? We trusted you, IQ. We really did...
Sure, they had a few middling FREE "remakes" as Infamous Adventures; nothing special, mind you. But seeing other people with more talent get ahead -- AGDI, POS, etc. -- just must have REALLY gotten under their skin.
Jumping on the KS bandwagon like everyone else after that Tim guy got a cool $3-mil, IA/IQ must have thought it was a way to make a quick buck for their alleged "
hard-work" on KQ3VGA and SQ2VGA. Why release them
FOR FREE, then?
I mean, with all of the other games that have already come out --
Mages Initiation,
SpaceVenture,
Hero-U -- those games were quality games (that either came out on-time or ahead of schedule, actually) and were very enjoyable to play, all in keeping with the Sierra tradition; well-worth the KS money for all of them.
But this? This is just sad. Quite a tarnish on the whole of adventure gaming, there can no doubt.
If only Infamous Quests would have actually MADE the game they promised: hundreds of hand-painted screens, colorful characters (both in dialogue and beautiful portraits), witty humor just this side of naughty, a movie-worthy musical score, and a compelling story that kept you interested through the very end... In short, a worthy homage to the greatest adventure RPG series of all time.
And now it's all been revealed to be a giant hoax.
But perhaps there's still some hope. Somewhere, hiding in the code of those half-baked demos (wow, IQ, you guys really went overboard in trying to sell this thing -- those two "free" demos only cost us KSers $63K
), you ran across some people who with exhibited the slightest bit of talent. Perhaps you can reconnect with those people again, and do what you promised to do: make
Quest For Infamy, but this time, for real.
There's no way to get any MORE money from us again; '
fool me once,' and all that. Maybe, just maybe, you can find it in your hearts to make the game that you
claimed to want to make. I know, I know. It's a lofty dream, and you set the bar
SO high for all that it was supposed to be, that it can never be what was promised...
One can dream, though, can't one? I mean, isn't that what the holiday season is all about?
Infamous Quests: Make the game. Release the game. We are pleading with you:
Where's. The. Game?
WHERE'S.THE.GAME?™#wheresthegametm
