Perils of Rosella Remake News

I want to welcome a new member which chose to join our quest

Hi everybody,

 

Today, I have very good news, today I want to welcome our first dedicated forum moderator, till now I & our graphic designer moderated our forums, but that can’t continue, we need to focus on developing the game (and the demo which was already released to our beta testers! – but more on that on a different post), so please welcome Jack Stryker, our new Forum moderator!

 

Who is Jack Stryker?

Here is some of what he wrote about himself:

My real name is Danny. Jack Stryker is the alias I use on the internet (that or JStryker47) and the name of a character I created for a friend’s fanfiction. I was born on October 22nd, 1983. I live in a small town called Brea, in Southern California. I’m the youngest of 6, if you can believe that. 4 brothers and 1 sister.

I was introduced to the King’s Quest series, among several other Sierra franchises, by my brothers. They would often bring home new PC games, that they either bought at a store or borrowed from a friend, and I would watch them play those games. KQIV was, of course, one of those games. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see them play through much of that one, so when I was finally old enough to have my own computer and play the games myself, I had a bit of trouble getting through KQIV for the first time. Often, I found myself asking, “How do I get across that big hole in the ground?” “How do I get out of this whale?” “Where IS Pandora’s box anyway?” But despite that, I managed to have a good time playing it.

Years later, after having played the AGD remakes of the first 3 KQ games, I was disappointed to find that they wouldn’t be making one of KQIV. Particularly since another group that was working on one seemed to abandon it. So when I stumbled across this KQIV remake project and saw the amazing screenshots, you know I couldn’t let this one die. You might say that over the years, I’ve become a bit like Joss Whedon; since I like strong independent female characters, who can get the job done and aren’t just damsels in distress. So why wouldn’t I want to see a game starring that type of character, using the kind of awesome graphics that Unicorn Tales have shown?

Here is my DeviantArt page; where I’ve posted photos, fanfictions, and renders that I’ve made using a program called DAZ Studio:

And this is my YouTube page, currently with only 2 videos since I mainly just signed up there to comment on other videos:

Happy New Year

Hi Everyone.

 

This is a rare picture taken by the royal photographer, it is the picture of me and dad – this is a rare moment where I grabbed him from his royal duties and paperwork to have a father daughter moment…

New Christmas picture

Edgar & Rosella

I have added a fourth Christmas picture to my two last Christmas posts.

 

Then I decided that the picture is really beautiful and it is worth having its own post.

So Enjoy the new picture of Edgar & Rosella, this time they are in a more formal stance…

Christmas Present

Hi All,

 

I have posted the three wallpapers in a previous post, but I have posted them as gallery pictures.

This time I zipped the files into one Zip container which you can download, view the wallpapers using your favorite image viewer (microsoft’s built in one?) and then Set them as your desktop’s wallpaper.

 

So here is the link to the zip file containing the three wallpapers:
Three beautiful wallpapers of the royal family

Enjoy these wallpapers.

Happy Christmas,

Rosella.

Moved the site to new servers

Hello all,

 

I am happy to announce that our site moved to a new server.

This server is much faster and robust.

 

Moving to a new server enables us to add new frameworks to our site like a new forum framework and more is to come.

If you find any glitch in the site (something we didn’t move correctly) then please contact us.

 

And as an added bonus I am presenting a beautiful photo our very talented graphic designer has managed to take of Edgar & Rosella stealing a kiss on a public Gazebo on Christmas – due to time differences between our world & Daventry we can see a photo taken on Christmas [For the tech geeks, the time difference is GMT-9 days].

 

Happy Christmas,

Rosella.

P.S. I have added some magical snow to the site…   enjoy.

Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption by the Quest for Glory designers Kickstarter project

Hello All,

 

We are in the process of remaking King’s Quest IV!

That doesn’t mean that we don’t have any other favorite games or hobbies.

 

One of those (and I am sure that at least our graphic designer will agree) is the Quest for Glory series.

Rogue To Redemption

The quest for glory series was so much fun and very unique as it mashed (very successfully) an RPG with a Quest.

The result was a highly addictive game (which then turned to five addictive games), these games had several unique features, I will write several of those:

  • Mashing of RPG into a quest
  • You could choose which character type you want to be: Mage, Fighter, Thief
  • You could do different things (had a slightly different story) according to the character you chose
  • You could continue with the exactly same character in the next game!!

 

I can say many good things about these series, but this is not the time nor the place.

I want today to recommend a new game which I didn’t play yet, this is a game which is still under development, so how can I recommend it?

I know the creators of the game: Corey and Lory Cole – This couple (married couple) have created the Quest for Glory series for Sierra back in the days, now they are back and want to create a new game: Hero-U Rogue to Redemption!

They don’t have any development money so they want to kickstart this new game using crowd funding – you can see it as a pre-sale which will enable the development of this game or you can see it as a donation for a great game to be created or just as an encouragement for these great developers which gave all of us tens of hours of entertainment.

As of now, this project is 68% funded (273k$ out of 400k$)

To get the game when it’s out you can fund 20$, unless you want some of the other goodies.

Please feel free to go to the Kickstarter and help them out by clicking on this line

Goodluck to the Coles from Daventry,

Rosella.

Welcome our Music Composer!

Hello All,

 

I am thrilled to welcome our Music Composer: Joshua.

Joshua is a very talented composer and has joined us in our quest to remake the Perils of Rosella.

I have asked Joshua to several paragraphs about himself so you will get to know him, as his music will accompany us during the game.

So without further a due, here is what he wrote:

I have been a composer since I was a young teen, at first obsessed
with electronic dance and industrial music. As I grew older I moved
into writing ambient music, and then about 5 years ago starting
learning about orchestral composition. I am hoping to eventually
have a career in movie scoring. Aside from the KQ4 remake, I am
also working on the score for an independent short film being made here in Canada.

I have been a fan of Sierra & LucusArts games since I was a kid,
and have loved them ever since. I have played just about all of
them including the remakes. I'm very excited to be participating in this remake.

A song I recently composed can be found here:
http://www.littleendian.net/music/works/Gliese.mp3

More of my compositions can be found at:
JBH Studios
Although the site is badly in need of a major overhaul. Hoping to
get to that before the end of the year.
