Thanks Elven! We hope we will be able to make the new game and that you will find it even more worthwhile than our previous games.

I didn’t know about QFG , KQ and many other good old games until about 6 yrs back . I was born somewhere between QFG 2 and 3 and when I started gaming at age 13 , I was only exposed to the new games at the time . I was more into RTS\strategy games which I still like . But I did get frustrated with all the monotonous FPS and Arcade games and the few adventure and RPGs weren’t adventurous , RPG-ish or fantasy-ish enough for my tastes . I began searching for MY kind of games and I didn’t even really know what it was . That was when I came across the AGDI remakes and felt like I found a hidden treasure trove . I quickly began collecting and trying all the good old goldies of games .

The QFG games in particular are just incredible ! I loved the beautiful graphics , the characters and plots with such depth , the palpable mystic aura of mystery, fantasy and magic , equally mesmerising music . Incredible doesn’t cover it .

Best of Luck to all of us for the success of the Hero-U Kickstarter .

When I write a blog, I think about what the point I’m trying to make with my words. This becomes a goal. Then, like Zen and the Art of Archery, I focus on the goal rather than on the words that get me there. I may wander from the point a little, but I’ll eventually hit my target. Then again, I treat blog writing like game designing – if the blog article isn’t entertaining and fun – it doesn’t matter what its point is. As much as I hate to edit my writing or Corey’s, it’s a very necessary skill to develop.

~chuckles~ Corey, I know how that is. Whenever I’m excited about an idea, that’s what I do too. Cram it all in and then half the time discard it later, because I lost the point and don’t know how to fix it. Must be nice to have editors.

There’s a reason my posts take so long.

First I write a post. I typically get about halfway through, then despair that I’m trying to fit too many points into one post, or that it just isn’t going in the right direction. So I set it aside for a while and go on to other tasks.
Then I come back to the post, get excited about it, and get it done. I send copies off to Lori and sometimes Michael (our very talented son, the marketing and copywriting expert).
One or both of them says, “It’s really good, but…”
Three or four complete rewrites later, I get an article we’re all (or at least Lori and I) happy with.

So… I don’t think Lori wrote a single line of that article, but her stamp is all over it. These really are collaborations.

Thanks for the support, Alistair! Actually, Corey wrote this article with some serious editing and coaching from me. I’ve got an article ready to publish on Monday, so you can see some of my style then.

But you got that right – Rule Number One – the Game must be Fun. That’s the one thing we’ll always keep in mind.

Good article, Sir and Lady Cole (although my guess is LC wrote this). Exciting to hear all the news you’ve been leaking lately, QFG was a great series and you guys made my favourite game, Shadows.

The game may have changed, but the credence is still the same: Because games should be FUN.
