I think I'd actually be up for that. A little bit of fantasy-fulfilment. Maybe add some thriller elements with modern-day pirates or a shipwreck.

Ken revealed it will be a 3-D adventure game, but assures it won't be like Mask of Eternity.

Yep - Collector quoted most of the press release, Tawm. :) (See page 1).

I'm pretty excited about this. :) It will be interesting to see what Ken and Roberta have been working on.

If you enjoyed QfG, you may also enjoy ...... *plug* Heroine's Quest! */plug* ;)

All he says is it's adventure game, and first person - as far as I saw so far.

Latest announcement from Ken Williams -
Ken Williams wrote: I started working on a game with the idea that it would be something fun that I could do, alone, as a "project". (Retired people always seem to need "a project" to fill their time)

Somehow, things got out of hand. A 3d artist approached me about doing art for my game and somehow that evolved into contracting an engineer to help us, and then another artist to help her, and then a third artist. A couple weeks ago I contracted someone to do a project for Roberta on the design side. And, yesterday I posted an ad looking for another engineer to help with some coding (https://kensgame.com/2021/10/29/engineer-wanted/ )

All of this led to me forming a new company, "Cygnus Entertainment" to publish the game.

I do like working on a game, and Roberta is having fun with the design. But .. it's a LOT of work. My "cute little game" has evolved into a monster that seems to have swallowed my life.

Oh well .. I just hope people will like the game and this will have all been worthwhile.

Yup. "Projects" often start out small (and "cute"), but if you're not careful, they become huge and terrifying. :lol:

I once wrote a short scene (about 1,000 words) which I then used to create a story around. It was about 2,500 words or so. Then I started to take it seriously, and wrote some context around it (and a proper plan, and everything) ...

... Guess what? It ended up about 90,000 words (or about 250 pages). A proper novel! But while I was writing it, there was one or two times when I thought "I'll never finish this." :( :lol: ;)
