Same here...for the last 5(?) years I check on Kickstarter every few months and see no progress.  Figured I start checking here before I give up completely.

Physical rewards haven't been shipped yet, as they're still being manufactured.

Your digital game keys were sent to the original email address you pledged with via Kickstarter. It appears you have since changed your email address, so I've updated to use your new email address and you should be able to access them on Humble Bundle. I've sent you specific details in reply to the message you sent via Kickstarter.

Hey guys, figured it's time for another project update. No new search categories added this time as I've given myself too much work already lol, however there's plenty of new scenarios found under the existing scifi & fantasy categories (listed in the top post)! I'm pleased to announce that I've pretty much reached the (foreseeable) the end of my Civilization 2 MGE preservation project and have uploaded hundreds of individual scenarios and a bunch of super collections containing thousands of scenarios to CivFanatics, ModDB & Archive Org ensuring they don't get lost again! I was going to post this weeks ago however an anonymous donor gave me a ginormous collection containing some of my most wanted lost scenarios based on cool stuff like Final Fantasy, Starcraft & Dune so I've been busy sorting them out! Naturally all these new finds are in the update list below and download links can be found in this projects original thread over at CivFanatics.

Speaking of classic Civ games I put a call out across many sites to try and get more GoG wishlist votes for adding Civ1&2 to GoG & Steam as it's crazy that the 2 big Civ games that started it all are not legally sold in any stores (& can only be found on archive & dodgy warez sites) while other classic Microprose games and all later Civ games are all being digitally sold. Presumably the pre Firaxis Civ games seem to be stuck in some sort of licensing hell they need to be rescued from. Only fans voting and making themselves heard can possibly change that. Yes some classic Civ fans probably still have their original discs & CDs like I do and don't need another copy, but plenty probably don't now and these games should really be back in stores, easily accessible, ready to run without config hassle, and getting more attention again! More fans returning to these classic Civ games injects new life into their modding scenes!

Anyway now that my Civ2 MGE preservation work has come to an end I can finally get back to making my Civ2 videos showing some of these great old scifi and fantasy mod projects to the world, and also working on my own Civ2 mod projects and finally releasing them! Then I can start focusing more on finding, rescuing & cataloging mods for later Civ games as I know I've only just scratched the surface of them. However as you'll see below I've still managed to find a bunch of new mods for them too! :)

Hey guys, been a while since the last project update again as I've been continuing work on my huge Civ2 search & rescue preservation project (which is why Civ2 mods dominate below) which is in its final stretch now as soon I'll be moving onto to Test of Time, Civ3 & newer Civ games. I also took time away to finally start releasing my video series that all this preservation work feeds into which anyone interested can see the first episode on Playing Civ1 in HD with mods & scenarios over at CivFanatics. While Civ2 dominates this update below don't worry guys, newer Civ games haven't totally been neglected thanks to people replying to my threads with great discoveries and I've found a few on my own too!


I swore I wouldn't add anymore categories to the search list but I have bowed to popular demand haha as many people across different forums asked me to add the Warhammer Franchise (Fantasy & 40K Scifi) and while I've sadly never played any of their games I can't help but notice there's some really really good Warhammer scenarios out there for various Civ games so I've added them to the list! This will likely annoy diehard fans of each respective franchise (I've seen some of the "they stole this off us" arguments lol) but I've combined the new Warhammer category with the existing Warcraft & Starcraft section to save space, sorry lol.

Oh and I've also added a new Missing scenarios & mods section to the bottom of the original thread post over at CFC to better display the projects I've been unable to rescue so far. If you have one of them, please let me know!

This is great news. In fact I checked on the ScummVM website and the v2.5 released in October 2021 does include the support for AGS.

I just tested it, and I can properly play Al Emmo on my Macintosh and I can even use my saved games from Steam on Windows (after a little file renaming).  :D

Hey guys, nothing's in the pipeline at the moment. We're still working on manufacturing all of the reward items for backers of the Mage's Initiation Kickstarter project.

yeah kickers and EA are a mixed blessing. On one hand many projects could literally never happen without it but then Devs are trapped in this strange environment that is no really the best way to develop things. All that transparency can lead to all sorts of issues and I know a bunch of devs that have gone broke trying to satisfy all the donation levels way way after the game has had its burst in sales. EA is even worse though, as normal development things do not exist.. you can not scrap systems if the game is not working as someone will think that is the best part of the game and leave bad review on steam that will haunt you for all time. I could go on and on about it, as i pages about how much I think EA and Kickers are restrictive... but the sad this is that without them.. many things have no chance at all.

It is a catch 22.

General Forum / ScummVM Now Supports AGS - Mag...
Last post by Adventure4Life - September 20, 2021, 07:17:16 PM
So there are some major movement in ScummVM... it now supports AGS... it is still in the nightly unstable branch.. but recently it has been making huge strides into AGS compatibility. I recently tested it by playing Quest for Glory 2 Remake and Mage Initiation and they both worked great.

In fact, I think the gameplay experience with Mage was BETTER in scummVM. Due to how smooth and awesome the way ScummVM works as a window. Lots of people complained about crashing and alt-tab issues, flickering when window mode.. this is not a issue with the devs, it was a ags issue... well none of that is an issue.

Also, as scummVM plays on pretty much any platform none to man it played it on my phone, my pad, my AndroidTV.... pretty frickn awesome. ScummVM also has a mapper to add controller support.

Anyway... just a heads up for those that might be interested. Remember this is not even beta, it is just a branch not included in the official builds.. but I think it is getting really close now. I did have a few issues, but nothing that I believe will not be fixed.

Hey guys, nothing's in the pipeline at the moment. We're still working on manufacturing all of the reward items for backers of the Mage's Initiation Kickstarter project. So, for the time being, that has been taking priority over everything else.

As for a King's Quest IV remake, we'd love to do it and we spent many years in negotiations with Activision trying to make it happen, but they just kept railroading the idea, sadly. At this point, I think they just want to sit on the Sierra IPs, as they don't see much value in them after their 2015 attempt failed to gain much traction. If we did remake it, though, it'd have to be commercial and officially licensed. It's a huge undertaking remaking a Sierra game, and isn't something we'd have the time or resources to do for free anymore.
