@MagusMarquillin3 күн бұрын
It's cool that for Hero Quest/Quest for Glory (I wonder which title they translated) they took the time to redraw the signs into Japanese characters, even the animated title screen (but not the subtitle for some reason). It seems like that wasn't the norm looking at these others, but glad they took some effort for a great game.

I don't think they censored it, the alien never dissolved in the disk version, I'm guessing for space restrictions.

Holy moly, the Gary Owens AI voice is spot on! This is great stuff! Though i have to admit, i prefer Jeff Bender as Roger (SQ4). Also, Dilandau3000 has forever spoiled me with his Star Trek inspired voices for these characters :D Nevertheless, what a great project!

Intonation is quite good... Especially the narrator. Voices are perfect... This is the best use case for AI, I think. Normally this would be very expensive but it's now possible for a modder or indie developer to use these tools to elevate their work to another level. Impressive.

I like these, though I think you could stand to use different music for different parts. Fatima, Shema and Marion are neck and neck for the lead I think. Hmm, who's left? There's the dryad dancing in QFG5 (and also in the Gnome and Dead Parrot Inns), Gabriel Knight's Hounfour, and his ridiculous improv dance during the Opera (and Magenta Moonbeam and the park fortune teller), the Wallflower dance in KQ6 (and Jollo dances at the end), there are some other dances available around the mushroom ring in QfG1, and I think an argument could be made for the Leopard men ritual in QfG3, Baba Yaga as a frog in QfG1, and the bandit's belly dancer in KQ5 (what you can see of her). I reckon there's a good chance someone dances in Mixed-up Mother Goose too.

I love this game, but here's some new content. Never thought of selling the merchants hearts desire, though I suppose that'll leave you wandering the bazaar for eternity. All that's missing here is showing how the grail rewards your churlish soul - I never actually carried on to the end after letting a knight down. I presume there's no consequence for having low wisdom at the end, but you gotta have soul. I was confused why you went all the way through the Labyrinth before showing the altered soul points, made me think we'd see some holy regicidal smiting!
