[21:26] <mfortunato> there was an interface and camera question asked
[21:26] <SAY> MIKE
[21:26] <SAY> mikey
[21:26] <Rick_Florez> the gamei nterface will be very much like kq6
[21:26] Dean_p sets mode: -m
[21:26] <SAY> Mike is art assistant
[21:26] <Dragonstar> hello!
[21:26] <SAY> Rick is the Art Director
[21:27] <Rick_Florez> a similar point and click style interface
[21:27] <mfortunato> hey, Say! Hello all!
[21:27] <DasJan> But 3D?
[21:27] <Chris_Matuszewski> Interface will be 3d, details are top secret ;)
[21:27] <Rick_Florez> the cameras are going to be prepositioned
[21:27] <SAY> the entire game its going to be 3d like, yes backgrounds as well as characters
[21:27] <Spider-Man> Can anybody see what I am saying?
[21:27] <Dean_p> yes Spiderman
[21:27] <Dragonstar> it's Dragonstar, Sarah
[21:27] <Yonkey> spider: yeah
[21:27] <Chris_Matuszewski> yes spider
[21:27] <DasJan> Prerendered or realtime 3D?
[21:27] <Rick_Florez> think of it as a traditional screene to screen adventure
[21:27] <Rick_Florez> but where each screen is created in 3d
[21:27] <Chris_Matuszewski> realtime 3d
[21:27] <Spider-Man> Strange, it said message could not be delivered
[21:27] <SAY> lol I think he does stands out (spiderman that is) with that bold font
[21:27] <mfortunato> realtime
[21:27] <Yonkey> is it 1st or 3rd person 3d?
[21:27] <Chris_Matuszewski> 3rd
[21:27] <S_Storm> anything like QFG5 3D?
[21:27] <Yonkey> spider: that's cuz it was moderated for a bit
[21:27] <Rick_Florez> 3rd person like traditional kq games
[21:28] <Erpy> Do you intend to have a dialogue system like GK or QFG or will you stick with what KQ6 (and KQ2+) had.
[21:28] <Spider-Man> Oh
[21:28] <Spider-Man> Go away bold
[21:28] Dean_p sets mode: -v DasJan
[21:28] Dean_p sets mode: +v Erpy
[21:28] <Dragonstar> I like games where you can see the main character, with a game sprite
[21:28] <Rick_Florez> the conversations will be like QFG
[21:28] <SAY> good question Erpy, I wonder about that Im not sure myself either
[21:28] <Rick_Florez> topic driven
[21:28] Dean_p sets mode: +m
[21:28] mfortunato [~kqix@37148937.10acf436.east.verizon.net] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[21:28] <Cesar> some other conversations will follow a more kq6 traditional start
[21:28] <Rick_Florez> alright guys dean will address you all 1 by 1
[21:28] <Dragonstar> :D
[21:28] <Yonkey> hey guys, maybe add that !addme instructions to the topic or something
[21:29] <Dragonstar> In a little while it will be time for supper.
[21:29] <Rick_Florez> and open the floo for you to ask a question
[21:29] <Cesar> but as rich said, most of them are topic driven.
[21:29] <Dean_p> Ok people, only the person with a + next to his name, talk, thanks:)
[21:29] <Dean_p> Erpy: Repose your Question, please
[21:29] <Erpy> It has already been answered.
[21:29] <Chris_Matuszewski> next
[21:29] Dean_p sets mode: -v Erpy
[21:30] Dean_p sets mode: +v MangoMercury
[21:30] <Chris_Matuszewski> curious, what is qfg6 conversation like, exactly
[21:30] <Dean_p> MangoMercury : Your Question?
[21:30] Yonkey sets mode: -v sonicthreadz
[21:30] <Chris_Matuszewski> i mean qfg
[21:30] <MangoMercury> Okay, I was wondering, will you have subtitles in the game, like when the people are talking?
[21:30] <Rick_Florez> yes
[21:30] <Cesar> topic driven. A list of topics and you choose from the topic system.
[21:31] <Rick_Florez> i personally like being able to read through a conversation as it is being spoken
[21:31] mfortunato [~kqix@37148937.10acf436.east.verizon.net] has joined #kqix
[21:31] <Dragonstar> I have to leave now, I'll be back in a little while
[21:31] <SAY> well perhaps I shouldnt say such now but tha best is the voice actors ;)
[21:31] <Rick_Florez> especially when its a long drawn out conversation
[21:31] <Dragonstar> maybe an hour.
[21:31] <Chris_Matuszewski> will the text be in a box, rich, or overlaid ontop of the scene?
[21:31] Dragonstar [kqix@57322ea.2b2c869d.fl.comcast.net] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[21:31] <MangoMercury> Yes, I'm glad about that, cos I like to read what's being said as well as hearing it, in case I miss something =P
[21:31] <Rick_Florez> right now it will probably be in a textbox
[21:31] <Dean_p> If you would like to ask a question just type !addme and wait
[21:31] <SAY> where is Cesar
[21:32] <Cesar> I'm here
[21:32] <Yonkey> how about subtitles for those mini-movies (a la KQ2+)?
[21:32] <SAY> wave cesar! wave! :P
[21:32] Cesar waves
[21:32] <Rick_Florez> you mean like in cut scenes?
[21:32] <Yonkey> yup
[21:32] <Rick_Florez> in all honesty we have not decided on that yet
[21:32] <Rick_Florez> for now no
[21:32] <Yonkey> k
[21:32] <Dean_p> If you would like to ask a question just type !addme and wait
[21:32] <MangoMercury> I think you should have them optional for the cutscenes AND the game.
[21:33] <Cesar> they will be optional
[21:33] <Rick_Florez> for the cut scenes it will really depend on what is prerendered and what is ingame
[21:33] <MangoMercury> :s
[21:33] <MangoMercury> :s
[21:33] <MangoMercury> Just cos some people hate them, and some people like me can't live without em
[21:33] Dean_p sets mode: -m
[21:33] <Rick_Florez> preferably it would be nice for it to be an option
[21:33] <Dean_p> If you would like to ask a question just type !addme and wait
[21:34] <Spider-Man> !addme

[21:34] <S_Storm> who doesn't like cutscenes?
[21:34] <Yonkey> personally i love having both text and voice
[21:34] <Dean_p> Ok next Question : Spider-Man
[21:34] Dean_p sets mode: -v MangoMercury
[21:34] <Chris_Matuszewski> cut-scene = pre-scripted action, sometimes a pre-recorded movie

[21:34] Cesar sets mode: +o sonicthreadz
[21:35] <Chris_Matuszewski> sometimes it is using the game engine
[21:35] <Spider-Man> Ok, Can you tell us if it is possible, who the main character will be?
[21:35] <Yonkey> lol sock

[21:36] <DasJan> dimi's da man
[21:36] <dimidimidimi> and if they were in public before today
[21:37] <dimidimidimi> this chat would be flooded by people right now
[21:37] <Cesar> :)
[21:37] <Yonkey> hehe
[21:37] <Erpy> So someone missed an opportunity.
[21:37] <dimidimidimi> you will all get to see the first screenshots of the game in the next The Inventory issue
[21:37] <Erpy> (shameless plug alert)
[21:37] <MangoMercury> :D

[21:37] <Spider-Man> But can you tell us who is the character
[21:37] <Cesar> the answer will be there :)
[21:37] <Spider-Man> Or will we have to waiit
[21:38] <dimidimidimi> you will have to wait until next Friday
[21:38] <Spider-Man> When will it be out?
[21:38] <Yonkey> you'll have to check out the issue!
[21:38] <Cesar> but since I like to tease you... plural that ;)

[21:38] <Chris_Matuszewski> go dimi!
[21:38] <dimidimidimi> let me just say that this game brings the term fan-made game to a whole new level
[21:38] <Rick_Florez> so if you ask a question and we say simple soon
[21:38] <Spider-Man> Another Question?
[21:39] <Yonkey> what's the website for the inventory?
[21:39] <Rick_Florez> then it is probably said in the inventory
[21:39] <dimidimidimi> www.justadventure.com
[21:39] <dimidimidimi> you can download it from just adventure
[21:39] <Yonkey> k thx
[21:39] <Spider-Man> I have another question, is that alright
[21:39] <Yonkey> sure

[21:39] <Rick_Florez> ok
[21:39] <Spider-Man> Actually never mind
[21:39] <Yonkey> :P
[21:39] <S_Storm> multiple main characters was obvious...

[21:43] <takarifreak> *storm, sorry! Didn't mean to spell your name wrong
[21:44] <MangoMercury> Sorry, but his KQ5ness bugged me
[21:44] <Chris_Matuszewski> is that 'gra ham' or 'gram'
[21:44] <MangoMercury> As did CEDRIC >=O
[21:44] <MangoMercury> NOT GRAM
[21:44] <Yonkey> hehe, the best is not to have anyone mention the name Graham the whole game :P
[21:44] <S_Storm> not that again!!
[21:44] <Cesar> that's going to be kind of difficult ;)
[21:44] <takarifreak> can we get on with the question asking? I'm shaking in my chair in anticipation here...
[21:44] <Katie> it's said "Gram"
[21:45] <MangoMercury> Lol, imagine characters walking up to Graham: "HEY, MR. G!"
[21:45] <mfortunato> Graham cracker
[21:45] <Yonkey> lol
[21:45] <Erpy> !addme
[21:45] <Yonkey> "Hello, I am King G."

[21:47] <Rick_Florez> all i can say is he's in kq9
[21:47] <Yonkey> do alex and cassima have any kids? :P
[21:47] <MangoMercury> Can I ask how you're going to pronounce Graham in the game?
[21:47] <S_Storm> 3D like QFG5 or like GK4?
[21:47] <Rick_Florez> to how much extent....welll....soon
[21:47] <MangoMercury> DOES HE GET KILLED BY KING G?
[21:47] <mfortunato> there's a GK4?
[21:47] <Cesar> I think she meant Gk3
[21:47] <S_Storm> sorry. 3
[21:47] <Katie> I'd say I'm going to assume we're pronouncing it the same way it's been pronounced ion all the games
[21:48] <Cesar> =MoE
[21:48] <sonicthreadz> (has pressing business elsewhere, would like to know if there are any music questions)
[21:48] <Katie> ..."Gram"
[21:48] <Cesar> Rich, that's a question for you.
[21:48] <mfortunato> it will be real time 3D like GK3 but the camera will be static. It will not move. So the gameplay will be like KQ6
[21:48] <MangoMercury> Please, no...
[21:48] <Cesar> or Mike :)
[21:48] <Katie> but that's how his name is said!

[21:48] <S_Storm> so, the graphics will be something like GK3?
[21:48] <MangoMercury> I've never said Graham as Gram in my life :P
[21:48] <Spider-Man> Hey Guest1
[21:48] <mfortunato> no.
[21:48] <Katie> you have now ;-)
[21:49] oldbushie [kqix@262dee27.35474391.anent.com] has joined #kqix
[21:49] <mfortunato> the graphics will be in 3D, but they will retain a lot of the handpainted look of KQ6
[21:49] <Yonkey> hey oldbushie!
[21:49] <MangoMercury> Grrr
[21:49] <Katie> hi OB!
[21:49] <MangoMercury> Hey, ob :D

[21:50] <Dean_p> Sotrm, have you asked all your questions?

[21:50] <Rick_Florez> we're basically building the first entire chapter
[21:50] <SAY> There is a demo
[21:50] <Rick_Florez> that will be our base point to create the others
[21:50] <Katie> well, it seems we can agree to disagree about how to say Graham's name
[21:50] <S_Storm> pretty much...
[21:51] <SAY> we have seen it and everything, but as rich said its not out for the audience
[21:51] <Dean_p> S_Storm, say where you are done please
[21:51] <mfortunato> sounds like it can be pronounced differently depending on region.
[21:51] <Rick_Florez> so for now NO there will be no demo released

[21:56] <Cesar> I'm finishing the last section of the current chapter and then it's final chapter.
[21:56] <Rick_Florez> chapter 2 is a very big and extensive chapter

[22:18] <dimidimidimi> sure Dean
[22:18] <DasJan> why did you decide to make it 3D?
[22:18] <Petter> :D
[22:18] <Petter> ...and in turn we're very grateful to you people who care about the project.
[22:18] <SoulKarver> its 3D but not true 3D right?
[22:18] <Rick_Florez> because we can make the screen much lively
[22:18] <SoulKarver> not like kq8
[22:19] <Spider-Man> I gtg now bye
[22:19] <Rick_Florez> the best way to think of kq9 is like a soundstage
[22:19] <Yonkey> true 3d like Xbox graphics?
[22:19] <Dean_p> Spider-Man : thanks for coming
[22:19] <Rick_Florez> where we only create what you need to see
[22:19] <Spider-Man> This is Broomie signing off

[22:19] <Rick_Florez> but if you were to look at it from behind you would see some things are flat or fake
[22:19] <dimidimidimi> believe me guys ... I'm one of the most conservative adventure gamers and I was still amazed with KQ9's graphics

[22:19] <Petter> Hey, that was a great description Rick!
[22:20] <Rick_Florez> mike is texturing this game in highres

[22:20] <Rick_Florez> i have truly been impressed by what he has managed to pull off thus far
[22:20] <Petter> When such a comment comes from dimi, you KNOW it's good news!
[22:20] <Cesar> me too
[22:20] <mfortunato> thanks, Rick
[22:20] <Cesar> I drop my jaw everytime I see a new screenshot
[22:20] <Katie> it's pretty cool to see things we've written comiung to life so to speak:)
[22:21] <mfortunato> he he he
[22:21] <Cesar> yes
[22:21] <Rick_Florez> let me say this also
[22:21] <Katie> especially when it looks so good!
[22:21] <Cesar> very cool :)

[22:21] <Rick_Florez> the beginnign of kq9 will be very taditoinallinal\
[22:21] <Rick_Florez> very traditional in terms of screen look
[22:21] <SoulKarver> i really liked kq7 for some reason.... i think it might have been the puzzles that i liked.... i didnt hate the cartoonines at all --- how like kq7 with kq9 be?
[22:21] <Rick_Florez> but as you progress we are going to break new ground
[22:21] <Dean_p> SoulKarver : I loved KQ7
[22:21] <takakrifreak> so did i
[22:22] <SoulKarver> cool!
[22:22] <Yonkey> if it's going to be 3d, i don't think it will be like kq7
[22:22] <mfortunato> because the characters are also 3D, not 2d animation, the game will look very different from kq7
[22:22] <Cesar> I can say that KQ7 had one thing others didn't
[22:22] <Petter> I think KQ9 will have many different looks, depending on where in the game you are
[22:22] <Cesar> it had some character development
[22:22] <Rick_Florez> which is a key thing in kq9, character
[22:22] <S_Storm> what character development?
[22:22] <Katie> *huuuuuge* thing!
[22:22] <Yonkey> lol
[22:22] <Cesar> there's a lot of character development
[22:22] <Rick_Florez> but in terms of look some elements will be recognizable, especailly the backgrounds
[22:22] <mfortunato> it's the MOST important thing in KQ9
[22:22] <S_Storm> example?
[22:22] <Katie> this ain't your momma's KQ ;-)
[22:23] <Yonkey> lmao
[22:23] <Cesar> it's a journey
[22:23] <Cesar> a quest
[22:23] <Petter> Rosella was kind of annoying in KQ7 though...
[22:23] <Cesar> but as you must meet a goal
[22:23] <takakrifreak> i just thought of another question...which could get complicated...
[22:23] <Cesar> it's also a spiritual journey of the characters
[22:23] <Yonkey> ask away
[22:23] <Cesar> they will meet their flaws, fail, grow,
[22:23] <S_Storm> I meant character development in KQ7
[22:23] <Katie> any good journey is a difficult one, and any difficult journey challenges a person
[22:23] <Rick_Florez> oh boy now you got cesar started
[22:23] <takakrifreak> weel, why is this project called kq 9? Techically, there was NEVER A kq8, MOE wasn;t marketed as that...
[22:24] <Rick_Florez> actually it was
[22:24] <Cesar> well, you can see shades of different colors in the Rosella of KQ7 if you cpompared her to KQ4
[22:24] <Rick_Florez> there have been several palces where it was called kq8
[22:24] <SoulKarver> hey so what are u guys (that are from the Pheonix team).... are you programmers/artists? (sorry if this was mentioned b4, i just joined a little bit ago)
[22:24] <Rick_Florez> inclhuding in france
[22:24] <Petter> Hehe, personally I REFUSE to put the phrase KQ8 in my mouth when refering to MoE
[22:24] <Cesar> by the end of the game, she decides to let Edgar court her
[22:24] <Cesar> that's a huge thing from the Rosella we met at the intro.
[22:24] <Rick_Florez> besides kq9 sounds better
[22:24] <takakrifreak> really? i never knew that...
[22:24] <copycat> Unfortunately, Sierra considers MOE as KQ8. :(
[22:24] <mfortunato> I'm Michael Fortunato. I'm painting most of the textures in the game.
[22:25] <Rick_Florez> there is a bit of everything in our team
[22:25] <takakrifreak> i agree that it does, but in the USA it was always MOE, never was it started in the game box that it was kq8...
[22:25] <Rick_Florez> we range from artist to programmer
[22:25] <Rick_Florez> everybody contributes
[22:25] <SoulKarver> cool
[22:25] <Petter> But you're right that Sierra never officially called it KQ8. Probably to boost sales by not making it look like a sequel.
[22:25] <SoulKarver> so why aren't you guys working on the game right now? :)
[22:25] <Cesar> it was just called King's Quest: MoE
[22:25] <takakrifreak> im glad it wasn't a kq8...to voilent ansd very un-KQ like...
[22:25] <Rick_Florez> the kq8 manual basically describes every kq game before it
[22:26] <takakrifreak> yeah, that's what Im saying...
[22:26] <S_Storm> as much as I want to ignore MOE, calling the new KQ9 game KQ8 will just a grim reminder of it
[22:26] <takakrifreak> maybe we'll never know...
[22:26] <mfortunato> and it would confuse other people.
[22:26] <mfortunato> it may get mistaken for MoE
[22:26] SAY [kqix@2ae78891.1df4f87e.3155232f.1e706c24X] has joined #kqix
[22:26] <Rick_Florez> besidesin our story the events of MOE happened
[22:26] <Rick_Florez> and they did for a reason
[22:27] <Cesar> exactly
[22:27] <Petter> Guys, you should visit sierragamers.com and also read DasJan's recent Ken Williams interview to understand more about why KQ:MoE got to be the game it is.
[22:27] <Cesar> we consider MoE, KQ8 as in terms of the story
[22:27] <takakrifreak> alrighty them
[22:27] <takakrifreak> *then
[22:27] <S_Storm> how much so? does events in MOE effect the KQ9 plot?
[22:28] <Petter> Basically the keyword is too many designers with different views.
[22:28] <Cesar> they don't affect them
[22:28] <Katie> consider KQ8 kind of like that period all things go through when you can't stand it, you don't like it, but it has to happen
[22:28] <SoulKarver> conner!
[22:28] <Cesar> but they are part of it.
[22:28] <DasJan> http://www.adventure-treff.de/artikel/interviews/ken_williams_e.php
[22:28] <SAY> dean
[22:28] <SAY> are you in here
[22:28] <Katie> and consider KQ9 the better ending that comes afterward ;-)
[22:28] <Cesar> we took what we considered the best from KQ8 and developed in 9
[22:28] <Katie> hehe, the Silver Lining if you will ;-)
[22:28] <copycat> A reward for enduring MOE?
[22:28] <Katie> exactly!
[22:28] <S_Storm> and the best was...
[22:29] <Cesar> well, Connor is one of them.
[22:29] <Petter> I would love to know Roberta's original vision of KQ:MoE. It was probably VERY different from the end result.
[22:29] <Cesar> we have a character that we want to redeem
[22:29] <Rick_Florez> let me put it this way by the time you finish kq9 you will say wow moe fit
[22:29] <SAY> dimitris
[22:29] <Cesar> and he'll be one of the coolest characters in 9 :)
[22:29] <copycat> fit?
[22:29] <Rick_Florez> we have plans to correct many of the inconsistencies seen and make them work
[22:30] <Katie> it fit into the grander scheme of things, copycat
[22:30] <copycat> Ah! Sorry.
[22:30] <Katie> no prob :)
[22:30] <S_Storm> there's a grander scheme?
[22:31] <copycat> My guess is it's the KQ-series. :)
[22:31] <Katie> there's alwaysa grander scheme! ;-) the best kind of story is the kind where when the ending finally comes, you think, oh man, THAT'S how it all fits in! it makes sense!
[22:31] <Cesar> in kq9, there's a reason for Connor having to endure his quest. And that's all that I'm saying :)
[22:31] <SoulKarver> oh i have a plot question!! who is The Father (from the Tierra kq2 remake)?? is he going to play a role in kq9??
[22:31] <S_Storm> Right! that reminds me... will there be an arch-villian, like in Tierra's KQ2+?
[22:31] <Cesar> I don't know who the father is
[22:31] <copycat> Will the black cloak society be in it?
[22:31] <SoulKarver> hes from the Tierra kq2 remake
[22:31] <Rick_Florez> we don't know and its not our place to say
[22:31] <Cesar> so, no, we won't have a "father"
[22:31] <SAY> it appeard in the tierra kq2 remake
[22:31] <Katie> We've stated before, Tierra & KQ9 are working separately and right, we don't know who he is anymore than you guys do
[22:31] <Cesar> but, arch-villain
[22:31] <SoulKarver> ok
[22:32] <Cesar> you betcha ;)
[22:32] <Katie> mwahahah!
[22:32] <S_Storm> single?
[22:32] <Petter> Yeah, I'd love to know more about The Father too. Tierra probably has plans for him, but they're even secret to us.
[22:32] <Katie> 0:)
[22:32] <Katie> 0:)
[22:32] <SAY> yeah the father was quite a character i heard it draws my attention actually
[22:32] <Petter> Too bad Erpy left...
[22:32] <SAY> id like to know what hes about
[22:32] <SAY> I havent played kq2
[22:32] <Rick_Florez> but there will be a force as great as him, i think we can say that
[22:32] <Katie> fair enough
[22:32] <Petter> Say, you should, you DEFINATELY should! It's a masterpiece!
[22:33] <SAY> lol
[22:33] <SAY> hey WHAT TEAM ARE YOU IN
[22:33] <SAY> lol
[22:33] <Katie> yes, Say, worth the download :)
[22:33] <copycat> Yes I agree!
[22:33] <SAY> careful there
[22:33] <SAY> lol
[22:33] <Katie> what? it's not like we can compete for better sales with Tierra or something :D
[22:33] <Cesar> lol
[22:33] <SAY> go katie go!
[22:33] <SAY> lol
[22:33] <SoulKarver> i love both Tierra and Pheonix!
[22:33] <S_Storm> You should give it a try, if only to understand your customers better ;)
[22:33] <Petter> The twisting of the original story was incredibly clever. I smugly thought I knew the solutions to many puzzles in advance, but nooo...
[22:34] <Katie> unfortunately, the resulting law suit would make us all go broker than dirt!
[22:34] <SAY> HAHAHA
[22:34] <SAY> oh well
[22:34] <Katie> heck, we would owe dirt money
[22:34] <copycat> Law suit from Tierra?
[22:34] <Katie> no, from Sierra!
[22:34] <SAY> lol
[22:34] <Katie> if we were to try & make money from this, it would be a HUUUGE copyright infringement
[22:34] <Rick_Florez> anymore questions?
[22:34] <Petter> Again, check DasJan's interview with Ken. His view on lawsuits and fangames was great!
[22:34] <Katie> a reason we can say we're not infiringing is because we aren't making money
[22:34] <Cesar> to sum up the arch-villain thing:
[22:35] <takakrifreak> can I see cesar in a batman outfit and blone wig?
[22:35] <takakrifreak> lol
[22:35] <SAY> HAHAHAHAHA
[22:35] <Katie> LOL!!!
[22:35] <Petter> I just hope the current management thinks like him. Unfortunately they probably don't.
[22:35] <SAY> yeah, can we?
[22:35] <Katie> takari, please think twice before asking such things ;-)
[22:35] <SAY> HHAHAHAHAHA
[22:35] Yonkey sets mode: +o SAY
[22:35] <Cesar> KQ9 is the greater battle between light and darkness ever seen, where the concept of light and the concept of darkness, is not always what you'd think it could be.
[22:35] <takakrifreak> how do you know it doesn't make him sexy?
[22:35] <SAY> yonkeyyyy
[22:35] <takakrifreak> then again, i could make him butt-ugly too...
[22:35] <SAY> thankx
[22:35] <Yonkey> hehe np
[22:35] <Cesar> that's ever seen in a KQ
[22:35] <Yonkey> i didn't realise you weren't opped
[22:35] <copycat> So who represents the light this time?
[22:36] <Cesar> duality is a key role of the story.
[22:36] <Cesar> plays a key role in the story, I meant.
[22:36] <copycat> Does that mean the light will also be the darkness at some point?
[22:36] <SAY> I think the plot its one of the biggest atractive features of this kq specially this one
[22:37] <S_Storm> Cesar and his duality again...
[22:37] <SAY> hahahaha
[22:37] <Petter> This is getting awfully philosopical, copycat!
[22:37] <Cesar> let's say I don't believe in pure darkness, or pure light.
[22:37] <SAY> well this time storm you can get him real time
[22:37] <SAY> lol
[22:37] <SAY> he cant run away
[22:37] <SAY> :)
[22:37] <copycat> No, this is getting awfully cryptical. :)
[22:37] <Petter> :D
[22:37] <Cesar> that's the idea ;)
[22:37] <Petter> Even better
[22:38] <Yonkey> hehe
[22:38] <Cesar> you already know by now, I'm not easy
[22:38] <Cesar> but I'm feeling generous :P
[22:38] <Katie> ooo!
[22:39] <Dean_p> oh no, dont start him with his copy/paste mode
[22:39] <Katie> LOL!!
[22:39] <Cesar> lol
[22:39] <Cesar> I won't do that here :P
[22:39] <Katie> phew! ;-)
[22:39] <Cesar> haha
[22:39] <Dean_p> yeah coz i can kill you off here
[22:39] <Katie> now that's power
[22:39] <takakrifreak> so...any ideas when the game might be released? rough estimate?
[22:39] <Cesar> But to tell you something, KQ characters will be more human than in previous installments, and with flaws.
[22:39] <Yonkey> alright people, i have to go. I'll read the rest of the chat when it's up
[22:40] <DasJan> have to go now, bye @all
[22:40] <Cesar> soon, andrea :)
[22:40] <Katie> bye!
[22:40] <Yonkey> cya!
[22:40] <S_Storm> What I meant is, will there be an arch-villian never before introduced on KQ, like Tierra did in KQ2+, that's been "behind the scences" the whole time, and say "oh, you know all the stuff that happended in KQ1-8? it's all HIS fault"!
[22:40] <Petter> bye
[22:40] <Cesar> that means
[22:40] <copycat> Bye!
[22:40] <Dean_p> watching cesar show his script is like watching a rabbit in heat

[22:41] <takakrifreak> what are you into buuny pron now katie? lol
[22:41] <Katie> lol, i was curious!!
[22:41] <Dean_p> suuuuuuuuuure
[22:41] <Katie> and the bunny army has been acting up lately ;-)
[22:41] <Petter> Someone buy Say a better Internet connection!
[22:41] <Katie> ewww, dean
[22:41] <takakrifreak> i've seen a cat in heat...my own and my friends
[22:41] <Cesar> in order to tie them up, we have to give answers about events that took place in previous installments
[22:41] <Katie> well, enough about mammals and mating
[22:42] <Dean_p> bunnys arent mammals
[22:42] <Katie> er?
[22:42] <Dean_p> they're cartoons
[22:42] <copycat> They are
[22:42] <Katie> umm...yes they are
[22:42] <Cesar> LOL
[22:42] <Katie> oh psh!
[22:42] <takakrifreak> so aren't people!
[22:42] <Petter> BTW: KQ9 will probably also be full of little details for the fans of the series to notice.
[22:42] <Dean_p> rabbits are mammals
[22:42] <takakrifreak> "so lets do it like they do on the dicovery channel!"
[22:42] <takakrifreak> lol
[22:42] <Katie> LOL!
[22:42] <copycat> Easter eggs?
[22:42] <Rick_Florez> yes thanks to people like petter
[22:42] <Cesar> yeah
[22:42] <Rick_Florez> who knows the kq games in and out
[22:42] <Cesar> we are cooking some of those
[22:43] <Katie> Easter eggs, heck yeah!
[22:43] <Cesar> there's a NASTY one that will have you all going "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
[22:43] <Cesar> :P
[22:43] <Katie> you referring to the one I think you are cesar?
[22:43] <S_Storm> Will the KQ9 plot be understandable even if you haven't played all the previous chapters?
[22:43] <takakrifreak> nasty as in..how?
[22:43] <Petter> And maybe cameos, old "props" to spot etc.
[22:43] <Rick_Florez> kq9 stands on its own for the most part
[22:43] <Dean_p> BTW
[22:44] <takakrifreak> what's that rating on this game going to be? G?
[22:44] <Dean_p> Congratulate Say on her recent Demotion
[22:44] <Cesar> but there are some things that you will understand better by being a fan.
[22:44] <Rick_Florez> but you will understand more if you've played the toehrs
[22:44] <Cesar> if there's an event that you need to know, we'll refresh it.
[22:44] <Cesar> (from previous installments)
[22:44] <copycat> Flashbacks?
[22:45] <mfortunato> exposition?
[22:45] <Petter> I think the game will be better if can stand on its own feet, and still have stuff in there for the fans.
[22:45] <mfortunato> I agree. And I know Cesar does.
[22:45] <S_Storm> I think KQ2+ was too confusing at that point.
[22:45] <Petter> The official KQ series always was good at this. Most of the games works well as stand-alone products
[22:46] <Cesar> we can't present a story that will leave non-fans going "huh?"
[22:46] <Petter> Yet there was this strong feeling of following a family throughout their life if you played them in order.
[22:46] <Cesar> it may happen once or twice, but we are doing our best to avoid it, even when this means giving information fans already know about.
[22:46] <copycat> Are you sure many non-fans will even bother downloading KQ9?
[22:46] <takakrifreak> isnt that your point of existance cesar? to say "soon", "suffer" and make people go "huh"?
[22:46] <Petter> Good question!
[22:47] <Cesar> lol
[22:47] <S_Storm> of course!!
[22:47] <Katie> I will say, there's an easter egg that KQ9 forum-goers will especially know & love ;-)
[22:47] <Cesar> not when they play the game. I make you guys suffer because I want you to enjoy the game :)
[22:47] <takakrifreak> killer monkeys?
[22:47] <Katie> I will say no more! But you'll enjoy it:)
[22:47] <S_Storm> Cesar should have a "soon" emoticon
[22:48] <Cesar> and I do think we aare creating a product good enough so other non-kq-fans will be interested in playing it.
[22:48] <S_Storm> Will you market it as such?
[22:48] <Cesar> yes
[22:48] <Petter> Isn't it also much a question of advertising. If we can get the word going, it might become very big.
[22:48] <takakrifreak> so what's the game going to be rated?
[22:49] <Petter> Like Tierra managed to do. They were even mentioned in the latest PC Gamer here in Sweden.
[22:49] SAY [kqix@2ae78891.1df4f87e.3155232f.1e706c24X] has joined #kqix

[22:49] <Cesar> no nudity
[22:50] <Cesar> I can say that
[22:50] <Cesar> :)
[22:50] <takakrifreak> I'd day make it more teen sided, broader audience, plus younger kids probably wont undertstand it much anyway...
[22:50] <SAY> yeah cesar is the only exhibicionist here
