IQ Chat / Re: Musing on Adventure Games

For me, the story is the most important thing in an adventure game. A good story and good characters (kinda goes hand in hand)

Good puzzles are also important, and to define "good" is very hard I think. They should not be to easy and not to difficult.

Humor is often, but not always, a big plus in a game as well.

And yeah, no dead ends!

Only 2 days left now and $65k left to the goal, we need all the help we can get now! Please consider pledging to help the Coles make a comeback in the adventure gaming business, I bet there are more than me here who would really like to see that become a reality.
If you already have pledged, you can always raise your pledge (and/or spread the word about this Kickstarter)

Thank you!

As long as you write a low value on the package the customs fee shouldn't be a problem

I totally agree with you, it's a frightening trend. But KS shows their real colors and proves that only $ counts

I know another game company that made a game about a plumber and that turned out pretty good

Dammit, I was looking forward to shovel horse manure

Now I expect Bill as an easter egg as compensation

Quest for Infamy / Re: Brigand, Rogue or Sorcerer? What did you become first?

« on: August 15, 2012, 03:17:18 PM »

I just meant the QfG-paladin as an example how a 4th class could be integrated in the game. That you have to accomplish something beyond "just" beating the game

I'm sure this has already crossed your mind but if you do QfI2 it would be nice to be able to use your character from QfI1
