Quest for Infamy / Status of QFI physical rewards
« on: January 26, 2022, 04:21:38 PM »
Hello!

It's been a while since we got an update about the Quest for Infamy physical rewards that haven't been shipped out yet and because the last time someone brought it up was left unanswered, I thought I'd make a new dedicated thread about it.

I can't say for certain how many years have passed since I backed this project (at least 5-6), but since I live in Europe, I'm always among the last people to get my goodies when I back projects/order stuff, so in light of that I have two questions:

How many backer rewards are actually left unfulfilled at this point? At earlier times, Steven mentioned shipping them out on a weekly basis and I'm sure the speed has slowed down, but having a more-or-less stable schedule would be really appreciated. I know you said not too long ago on twitter that you want to finish this matter of shipping them out before you move on to newer projects and I believe in you Steven, but I've also reached a point where I'd really love to receive my rewards as I'm starting to worry if I'll ever receive them. :/

And in relation to that, I don't mind being at the back of the list of people who receive their goodies, but assuming you do have some sort of a schedule for shipping this stuff & and an overview of how many packages there are left, when can I expect my package?

I want all of you to succeed, I love the games you've done thus far, but I also want to stop worrying about this matter. :)

Thanks in advance and the best of wishes
Chris

IQ Chat / Teespring T-Shirts

Hey,

I recently decided to check how my order is doing as it was supposed to arrive on May 26. Granted, there can be delays and I am prepared for that.

However, what worries me is what I saw when I opened up my order page @ Teespring:


Order history

14 Apr 16:11 Order for Infamous Quests Shirt placed
29 Apr 03:17 The campaign successfully reached its goal!
29 Apr 04:11 The campaign has ended and your order is now being printed!


The last update is from 29th of April. There hasn't been an update about it having been shipped or anything like that and it's currently still labeled under "Printing" step.

Does/did anyone else have a similiar problem?

Quest for Infamy / (RESOLVED) v1.1 early bug
« on: February 06, 2015, 02:25:03 PM »
Heya!

So this time I started off as a sorcerer, but once again I won't get the achievement (in Steam) for killing the beast. :(

It says that I have the achievement in the in-game achievement book though, so what should I do at this point? Uninstall and reinstall?

IQ Chat / Infamou$ Quest$

Hey y'all!

I was wondering that have you guys, IQ team, ever considered selling stuff (t-shirts & mugs for example) with IQ logo on them?

I don't know about the rest, but I'd love to have something like that, because the logo looks quite epic (and thanks to facebook a bit frightening [someone said that it looks like a Pac-Man up to no good]).  8)

Banter and Chit-Chat! / The Hobbit Rant (SPOILERS!)
« on: December 29, 2014, 01:38:12 PM »
Hey,

By this time, I'm sure most of you have seen the last Hobbit movie.
If you haven't, then one last time - Spoilers ahead!-



The general question I have is what are your thoughts regarding The Hobbit trilogy (feel free to compare it to LOTR trilogy or whatnot)?
All opinions are welcome and I hope no1 feels offended if someone else has another opinion.

I'll start then (NOTE: My views are my own, they don't necessarily mean that they are the right ones).
I feel like the whole thing was waaay too long. After watching LOTR movies, I didn't want to leave that magical world, but those movies were built up pretty much flawlessly for me and I love them for the way they are.
As for The Hobbit, they tried to do something odd with it (read: cash-in).

First of all, the book was written as a childrens book not an epic like LOTR. I guess part of the problem is CGI. In The Hobbit, it is just everywhere. It all feels so unrealistic (although I figure they aimed to do the opposite). Maybe this is due to HD and all that, but is it just me or do the orcs and such look ugly as F compared to the ones we saw in LOTR?

Next on, they filled the movies with quite a lot of pointless scenes and storylines that didn't really happen in the book which brings me to the next point: Physics (guest-starring Legolas)
Yeah okay, the physics weren't 100% right in LOTR too, but man, is Legolas a super-agile guy in Hobbit. Which also makes me think, if the elves live for hundreds, thousands of years, why does Legolas have powers like hopping easily on fastly moving barrels on a raging stream and escaping to safety on a collapsing bridge (Legolas vs Bolg fight) and then 50 years later he is limited to surfing down a set of stairs and climbing an Oliphaunt?

Moving on, the characters. Yess, it was great to see Frodo for a moment!! and Gandalf, but the company of dwarves? I didn't really connect with them that well like I did with the characters in LOTR. And apparently Thorin forgot that at the end of the first movie he was good pals with Bilbo and then in the next movie he douched with him again for no reason. But ye, if I need to count all 13 dwarves... uhh. There's Thorin ofcourse, Balin is the wise guy, Dwalin is the bald guy and Bombur is the merry ball of jelly. Kili or Fili, who had that thing with the elf and yeah... 7 other dwarves and of those total 13, we actually get to know only a few of them.

Next on our agenda is the music (pay attention James! [just kidding :D]). Howard Shore has unfortunately kinda joined the cashcow train with PJ. The score of LOTR was amazing, there were all sorts of various pieces that really set the mood, even things like themes for races so to speak. In The Hobbit though, I feel like they replay 1-2 songs all over again, just in different versions.

So in conclusion, they could've done it better, but they decided to milk the lotr-hype. The eternal,unquestionable and undoubtable love that I have with LOTR does not carry on too well to these movies. Sure, I'll do The Hobbit + LOTR marathon, but while LOTR was a masterpiece, Hobbit is just good.


Oh and one last thing, everyone have their own opinion and such, but if someone seriously says that The Hobbit is better than Lord of the Rings... I... I just don't want to live on this planet anymore then. D:

Banter and Chit-Chat! / What MMOs do you like (no asian-themed please)?
« on: October 08, 2014, 05:26:21 PM »
Hey,

First off, I don't have anything against asians, I'm just bored of games with such themes. I'm used to playing Mists of Pandaria (WoW) and an asian mmo called Perfect World International. I am excited about Archeage but I don't think I can plunge into it just yet, so does anyone have any suggestions for which MMOs to try out? I've also played LOTRO, but it's too much of a micro-transactions game for me. Oh and preferably MMOs that are F2P. Now... shoot! :P

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Just Another Old Game
« on: September 28, 2014, 02:29:03 PM »
Hey y'all,

It's my first post on these forums but I hope that there is no harm in it if it's off-topic. Now to the topic itself, I don't know how many of you know a game called Time Gate: Knight's Chase, but if there are some of you who do and have any ideas on how to get it to run on a modern computer (running Win7 x64 [Home]) then your help would be much appreciated. I can't seem to get it to work with dosbox, but I might be doing something wrong...

Thanks in advance!  8)
