"Space Quest: Roger Wilco and the Outer Edge of Earnon"
Johnathon replied to Johnathon's topic in World O' Fan Wonders
Unfortunately, I have been incredibly swamped and haven't had the pleasure of working much on the project since last summer. In good news, I have finally graduated with my BS in computer science... In bad news, because I am currently under the gun with all my debts--about $400 deficit monthly--I wasn't able to justify the cost it would have taken to renew hosting for the website, so it went off-line two days ago... This having been said, I have not given up on the project, and hope to figure out some hosting solution soon-even if it's a free service (or perhaps will just post updates here e -
Help us come up with some hilarious meal names for Taco Nova!

Really did it for me! Hilarious. Just what I needed this evening. :y: Still can't wait 'til the game is released! A real shame it wasn't in time for Father's Day this year (planning on getting an extra copy for my dad). Well, there's Christmas, I suppose.

Pretty cool! :y: Roger seems to be bearing a bit of resemblance to Lance Henriksen here. Another reference to Alien(s) perchance?

"Space Quest: Roger Wilco and the Outer Edge of Earnon"
Johnathon replied to Johnathon's topic in World O' Fan Wonders
It turns out I've changed my mind again. I chose Wintermute on a whim based upon what I've heard of its greater flexibility over AGS; however, having completed my first course in game design and acquired more experience with C++, I've decided the best thing to do is to just make my own custom engine using the SDL library. This way, I have complete control over every aspect, and the game will be portable to many platforms. I've already begun implementing and have thus far had great success. I know it's more work up front, but it should pay off in the long run. -

Johnathon replied to Johnathon's topic in World O' Fan Wonders
Thanks for your sentiments, Troels. And there's nothing more I hate than disappointing people (and aliens, sorry) who are waiting on SQ:OEOE Just thought I'd mention now that after much, much consideration concerning the implementation of the adventure, I have come to the conclusion that I will not be using AGS. I'm going to be using WinterMute Engine instead. AGS will not allow for some very vital effects and features that are integral to the Outer Edge of Earnon (one notable problem being the limit on backgrounds, rooms, and sprites). I know it's not much news, but it shows that despite -
Oh, what a bummer. :mellow:

As of yesterday. Sad times these are.

Poor Gary, I heard this news the day after it had occurred. Just didn't really know what to say or do about it. We can take solace in that it seems he led a very full and wholesome life. Definitely will be sorely missed. I'm feeling more anxious to play SpaceVenture now just so I can hear his most recent voice-acting that he'd done before his passing away, and when I play Space Quest 6 now on my 486, I feel sad knowing he won't be around to do anymore. Rest in Peace.

Johnathon replied to Shendue's topic in The Rocket Bar
As repetitive as Paul's malice and idiocy has become, that he's denying account access to a paying client is no less hilarious to me (I mean, of course it's sad, that goes without saying). There seems to be no limit to the man's stupidity and hypocrisy. As if he's one to talk about unprofessional behavior? Regardless, he's got to see that such methods--regardless of right or wrong--will destroy his company pretty quickly. And what's with that change in voice from "we" to "my," and then back to "ours," in the letter? Is Paul in the 3rd grade? If he's the public relations department as well as -

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but you know that death sequence in SQ5 when you dock to the wrong section of the Goliath, and use the laser cutter, and then, one-by-one, those creepy mutants peer their creepy, creepy little faces into your tight enclosure... oh... SHUDDER...

You know, I do have memories though, crystal clear, of observing my father playing space quest 2. Specifically, I remember him walking into the screen on Labion where the giant carnivorous mushrooms resided, and getting eaten by one of them. I was amused by that. I also observed him choking from the spore dust. I remember calling him "funny guy" because of those observations. I would go up to my father and plead "funny guy!, play funny guy!" because I wanted to watch him play it. I must've been two, three years old at the most during the time. Years later when I dug up the sq3 diskettes (as I

VGA, though I'll admit I wasn't quite old enough to play EGA when it was released. Therefore, I don't suffer the particular nostalgia "bias" that some older fans may. ;) I was first introduced to the series through sq3 (my personal favorite), and the sq1ega and sq2 diskettes had already been lost by my father by the time I'd become old enough to be curious about the games (age 8). From there, I played sq4, and then sq6, and then sq5 (all purchased separately as single box editions). I remember how bitch'n hard games 1 and 2 were to get ahold of, and therefore, after I'd exhausted my energy
