Team recruitment thread
#1

As stated in my thread in the latest news section, we are in dire need of new team members if we're going to finish the game.  Specifically, an artist, a writer, and a project leader.

So, anyone who would like to fulfill one of those roles please post here.  If applying for the artist position, we'd ask that you attach a sample of your work in your post.  Or email it to me: [email protected]


Update: the writer and project leader positions have now been filled, but we are still in need of an artist.

I'm pretty decent at writing. What kind of writing is needed? Like script?

The script is mostly going to be the same as the original game, for now.  If we do manage to find a new artist, then maybe some new dialogue and help streamlining certain bits would be nice (like the whale's tongue and dealing with the troll).

Mainly what we need right now, as far as writing is concerned, is the game's textual output.  As in, things for the narration to say when clicking on various objects.  More creative ways to say, "You can't touch that." when clicking the hand on objects that you shouldn't be able to interact with.  Or better descriptions for the narration to say when clicking the eye on various objects.  Etc.  We're also thinking we'd like to have Rosella comment on certain things too, when interacting with certain objects.

So, are you in then?

Listen up, everyone.  We're going to need all the help we can get, if we're going to acquire all the necessary art that we need to finish this game.  Therefore, I'm going to post a list of all the things that we currently have and still need, for any volunteers willing to assist us.

Obviously, this is going to be full of spoilers for those of you who haven't played the original game, so I'll post a link to a playthrough of the original game:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh_JuIFC-RM

In addition to that, here is a link to our demo in action, for those of you who have had trouble downloading it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaUYpeDWB24


Update: Oops... I forgot to include this video- a 2-parter- of all the ways that Rosella can die in the original game:

I stumbled onto your project today when I was searching google for King's Quest 4. It's been a very long time since I last played the original and also a very long time since I last worked on anything in the "art" field. I used to sketch quite a lot and in my late teens and early 20s I spent a lot of time tinkering with 3d models and environments (using programs like Bryce 3d, Maya and Poser).

I'm a little unclear on what sort of 'artist' you are looking for. I am not a professional by any means, and am quite rusty. I would be willing to volunteer some of my time to help out your project if you still need help. Could you please tell me what programs I would need to use, and whether you are looking for stills or rendered animations or just models etc?

I really want to help. I just found this project today and it tears my heart out to learn of the tragic setbacks this has suffered. The King's Quest series is near and dear to my heart. The first game I ever played was To Heir is Human (tho I didn't actually survive past escaping until much later in life, after I fell in love with Monkey Island). I grew up on all the Sierra games and helped beta test Quest for Glory 5 which was very exciting. I recently got my nephew into point and click adventure games and was showing him the AGD Interactive remakes on my Android phone. I'm kind of a jack of all trades, done some (mostly architectural) 3d, web development, coding in various languages, am a Linux and Windows Server guru, versed in networking design and virtualization, and professionally oversee major and complex IT projects involving equipment, software, scripting, database design, process development and training. I majored in Philosophy and have written several poetry books, plays, and a novel (nothing published so don't be too impressed lol), I ran my own poetry club and hosted several events. I am very passionate about games with a female protagonist and although I didn't play and finish Perils until after I beat 5 I very much want to be a part of this project in any way I can. I will do my best to recruit others to help. One of my closest friends was a level designer on Halo 5 (he now works for Bungie on Destiny). I'm pretty good at Project Management and driving them to completion with total willingness to roll up my sleeves and help accomplish any task however small. I'll email you so you have my address. I don't want this project to remain stagnant! I'm so sorry it took me so long to find out about it and hope I'm not too late to help.
