So I know that basically no one ever visits this forum anymore, but I do and this made me smile 🙂 I saw this photo of the art team vacuuming the TNG set, and thought that I had to share. -E “rather clean the bridge than the holodeck”

People probably got email from Kickstarter, but for anyone who didn't, it looks like the game will be shipping next month! There's a more extensive FAQ on their post, but I'm terrifically excited to see it come out, and grateful and thankful for the years and years of work by so so many people that have gone into this. -E "Excited vibes"

I was playing around with DALL·E a bit to learn how it works - It generates computer generated images, based on various prompts. For practice, I thought it would be fun to see what it came up with for Space Quest inspired images. Some came out better than others, and I enjoyed the process tremendously 🙂

It's all good- I think we agree, it's just a matter of personal preference. I didn't know if you had kept the unsharpened versions, or if you were insterested in releasing the PSDs you worked with, but I'll play with them if you do. Were there any other scans you still needed? Thanks again,

Thank you very much for working on these, I'm really excited to deck my house in SQ art. One thing you might want to consider is if you're losing detail in the way you're doing the blurring, to remove the halftoning - For example, if you zoom in on the poster, to look at the woman who's working at M-burger, the wording gets somewhat harder to read in your version. Sadly, some detail is going to be lost in any cleanup, but perhaps a gentle Median blur might leave it a bit more intact? Or even just leaving it unblurred... Admittedly it's a judgement call, but I had wanted to bring up the issue, and see if you had at least considered less agressive sharpening. Example: http://i.imgur.com/7jQV1Fc.jpg In any event, thank you once more for working on these - They're quite nice.

For the SQ4 one, if anyone knows who bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemNext&item=190688752212&autorefresh=true, that'd be the best quality ;)

If no one else beats me to it, I can some more scans of the rest of the boxes later this week. -E "Looking forward to hanging these"

I still think this would be a fun project. I have the LucasArts posters up in my office, and I'd love to have the SQ ones as well (My first love!) I'm re-uploading the PDFs I had made - I generated them in as high DPI as I was able at the time (~ a year ago?). I had talked with a few people offline before I posted here. They're 1.1G each, which is about the largest size I was able to handle. I don't have a great scanner myself, so I had gone to a shop downtown to have them scanned. If someone who had nicer boxes wanted to scan them, that'd still be better. ;) If these won't work, due to the PDF nature, I can see if I can re-scan as TIFFs sometime later on. Here is a link to the files I have- https://drive.google...Mmc&usp=sharing Note- The PDF versions a Much, Much, Much bigger than the PNGs. I made the PNGs to downsample/test some things.

The owners of the franchises have been consistantly inconsistant. IIRC, KQ9 was offered the same deal we were, but they said yes- But then their deal was revoked when Activision took over VU. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silver_Lining_%28video_game%29#Delays_and_legal_issues -E "The whole thing is a mess"

Nicely done, glad to see this finally published! Great job stitching my incoherent ramblings together into something that's not as boring as it could have been ;)

A few months ago (wow. Longer, when I really think about it), I had thought it would be fun to print up poster-size box art for SQ, the way I have Monkey Island setup in my office. The Scans that Frans has up on SQ.net are great, but really low-res. I made up some of my own from my boxes, but they're no where near first editions, and have scratches, stickers, and the like. You're welcome to my copies if you want (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6zay8n4q9a3mi4k/fhrHcim_2T), but if anyone had a nice scanner and better boxes, I'd love to see them. I had asked someone to try cleaning them up a bit, but he dropped the resolution WAY down in doing so, and didn't do that great of a job ;( You're welcome to those too - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b96klvl4brcf3pz/QYe8vNlTGI - Just keep in mind they're not poster quality. If no one has another high-res version, the ones I have are good enough for me to print, I just figured I'd throw it out there 😉 -E "I like having reminders of things I've loved up on display"

Posted more stuffs. We're reconstructing a number of nearly lost work to get back to you; It's nice to share so much after keeping it secret so long. ;)

Now, we use the news that it's hit the goal to do another round of press, and raise even more! ;)
