Nice. How far along is development?

[MusicallyInspired]

I'm not sure of exact numbers but I'd say easily within the 85%-90% range (not counting beta testing).

[Collector]

Be sure to announce here when it hits beta.

[Jules]

Sweet! Looks awesome.

I'm not a big SQ fan - mostly because my little Roger kept dying before I could type what I wanted him to do. So I only finished SQ1, 2 and 3. But this trailer rocks.

[MusicallyInspired]

Ironic, as those are the only SQ games where you have to type at all.

[Tawmis]

The key to surviving in SQ3 for example was hitting the space bar as quick as you could (like before you get grinded) and type "jump" and press enter - even though it says you can't - right when you can you press F3 and repeat the command. And you can do it successfully.

[MusicallyInspired]

You've got to stand up first and then jump.

[Tawmis]

Right. Type stand. Sorry. Then type jump and press enter, and that way when it's time, ya do the F3 key - and you can properly jump when the time is needed. I found that to be the hardest part of SQ3 (death wise).

I used to absolutely hate SQ1 because my Roger would always get shot by the aliens in the human ship before I had a chance to hide. Poor Roger. The parser being used was the same one as the one for LSL1 EGA, so it took me some time to figure out what to tell Roger, and in the meantime, he would stand there like a moron and get creamed.

[MusicallyInspired]

Sierra remade SQ1 with point and click making it much easier (some would say too much). But I have a feeling you'd probably like it a lot better.

[Rath Darkblade]

I did like it better. I finished it. But I did miss, in a way, the blockiness of the EGA graphics.

The parser being used was the same one as the one for LSL1 EGA, so it took me some time to figure out what to tell Roger, and in the meantime, he would stand there like a moron and get creamed.

The visual of this is just too classic... I just see you frantically typing and it saying, "Are you out of your vulcan mind?" over and over - and you're like, "No!"

ZAP!

"Way to go Roger Wilco... now we can see your heart... thanks to the laser beat that cut right through it. LOAD/QUIT."
