Quest For Glory fans mourn the death of Hero6

What began in 1999 as the unofficial 6th game in the Quest for Glory franchise after Vivendi put the series into retirement, had evolved over time into a complete standalone original RPG. If I remember correctly, I think a cease and desist order was issued, but that is just my feeble memory, so don't take it as gospel.

Hero6 was the holy grail to diehard Quest for Glory fans like myself, and the official message was released from DeltaMatrix on the AGS forum as well as on the Hero6 page, that it was officially dead: http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?topic=44704.0

Instead of putting it to rest as some people do, the Hero6 team decided to release the entire source code of all work to the public to do with as they please: Download link : http://s153599580.onlinehome.us/files/Hero6_src_0302.rar

If some industrious team were to pick it up, perhaps it will some day see the light of day, though there is apparently a lot of work to be done with it. As a true fan of the Quest for Glory series, I will be offering a moment of silence for the demise of this most wanted game.

Don't Shoot Shotgun...

*insert Def Leppard riff here*

In the meantime, this is all about the fact that Rock Paper Shotgun, has talked about Oceanspirit Dennis. Yes, we're a bit late to the party, but what matters is that we got there. I guess.

-Anyhow. Linky, here.

-Also, previous article here.

-Also, more and sadistically collected information, by none other than Ponch.

OceanSpirit Dennis: OSD or RON?

Well, the AGS forums have had their annual share of trolls and ..yeah..anyway. Lately however icey games stroke back and this time from a joke originated from ddq and Snake, people have gone bananas, and stupid. Making 4 games so far, one concept art screen(look above, courtesy of ProgZmaX) and one fortnightly competition entry! The first game by Ben304 is even ported into an internet browser!! The topic behind it all can be found here, but i wouldn't recommend it.

So here for your sake in order of appearance:

Leylines

Sorry for the gap on the blog. Very busy just now!

Anyway, Radiant of ATOTK fame, has asked for beta testers for his non-AGS game Leylines. Why not try it out?
