Thank you, thank you!! We can't wait for you to play.  It's such a good feeling, having someone eager and waiting to enjoy all of our hard work

Thanks again for posting!

Well, since you asked so nicely

Hey, this is cool though.  A treasure that is almost guaranteed to be there, as long as you can find a way around the water?  Let's all gather together with some straws and get to work, hehe!

2 Million Pounds--that is a very significant treasure, even today--let alone, back in the late 1700s!

Where is this island located exactly?  If you could create a game based on the Oak Island treasure, what elements would you like to see included?  What types of danger?  What types of characters?  What types of challenges?

Thanks for posting information about this!!

I understand how frustrating that could be, Hadaran The game file is so huge, we had problems even accommodating a small group of beta testers who were trying to download it at the same time.  

I would be open to hearing suggestions though on offering the game as a download.  For instance, does anyone know a means of providing a huge file to a large number of people at the same time at an affordable price?

How COOL! I had no idea there was a Lost Dutchman's forum--thanks for posting this!  I think I know where I am going to be a frequent visitor, now   I hope that others will enjoy the fact that they can visit the real life home of Al Emmo, out in the Superstition Mountain range of Arizona!!

Hey Blind and Haradan!

Welcome to the forums Those are some great marketing ideas.  I would agree that posting on forums where old school adventure game players frequent is a great means of spreading the word!  We would really appreciate it if would go ahead and make posts where ever you think people might be interested in hearing about our efforts.

Also, that is a really neat idea, creating a poster which can be printed and put up in shops around town in different parts of the world.  I would be up for making such an advertisement...  What does everyone else think about this idea?  Would anyone else like to participate in putting up posters that they can print out???

Gron, what a brilliant idea.  *Runs off with pen in hand to get to work*...

Thanks so much for your support, Rugged!  That actually would have been a great idea, sending out a newsletter to announce the beta testing process.  That deadline has come and gone though, so perhaps a good idea, would be to announce the demo's release as well as the end of the beta process drawing near.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Welcome Cellardoor and Gron!  Cute and very relevant smiley, by the way

I enjoyed the Longest Journey as well.  I played it in German, when I didn't speak the language very well, and just remember being very captivated by the surreal environment.

And Coroloro, I believe that Lori Cole mentioned that Asia was on the list for a potential Quest for Glory game if they had continued making them.  It's a shame Yosemite shut it's doors

Yea, that project was referring to the King's Quest I VGA remake:)  Although, as Sean mentioned, we've made little projects for family and friends at times

Hey Rugged! I would say, a bit over 1,500 copies, and we'd break even.  If we made it into the 10,000 and up territory, we'd be an all out success and able to continue making original adventures.  Please wish us luck!

I'm not getting in a hot tub and appearing on the cover of Al Emmo.  But, Eriq Chang has created an awesomely brilliant box design as a consellation!

I think a historical fiction game has a lot of potential.  I also would like to see more adventure games set in the Asian culture--there are a lot of neat places over there, even beyond China and Japan, that would make great locations and offer lots of interesting lore.

As for Al Emmo, even though it's set in the Old West, I wouldn't consider it a typical Western.  In a similar way to Quest for Glory--the games were influenced heavily by certain locations and lore, but the game itself was very unique with a story not completely based in any particular era.  Al Emmo was based more on southwest culture than the Old West. I also am not a huge fan of Western Movies, and tried to make certain Al Emmo did not fall into the Old West stereotype.  It's much more unique...

As for police games, I'm still with Angelus and Morte!   Coroloro, you haven't even PLAYED Police Quest yet!  We've got to do something about this!  I think if you experienced those games, you might see police games in the same light as other classic adventure games.  I was actually excited to see, at the Game Developers Conference, I won a copy of Swat 4 by Sierra.  No adventure game, but the SWAT theme was appealing.  I think a law enforcement theme, done really well, in a classic style adventure would be fun!

Hey guys!

We are currently discussing pricing and packaging options, and soon, a final decision will have been made.

I don't want to say anything publically yet, until we have a more definite answer.  But many of the concerns you've brought up have been considered and discussed behind the scenes.  I'm confident we'll find a price that is reasonable for both the gamer and developer alike, making certain you get a good deal, and that we are able to pay off our debts.

I'll keep you updated as we come closer to a decision!

And this mail order magazine option.  Hmm, I wonder how much I could auction myself off for? Oh wait, no, bad idea...

Hey, why don't we have California Pizza Kitchen cater Tostada pizzas?  Kinda like taco, meets pizza, meets vegetarian meal And I know a lot of people are fans of Jane Jensen's work, although I haven't had much experience with it yet (although Stijn will hopefully cure me of that soon!).

Do you have any additional interests outside of fantasy type games, Coroloro?  What would be your second favorite type?

It's all yours, MusicallyInspired!  Lucky for you, I'm a vegetarian

Donuts, Tom?  We're having a PIZZA Party!  At your suggestion though, we'll have a Krispy Kreme dessert...You're all invited

Hey guys!! I'm hoooome   Welcome to the forums...I'm excited to have you guys around!
