Hmm. Haven't been in here in ages ::)
I passed a topic about fanmade QFG games, and it got me thinking. It seems as though there is a Hero6 crew
www.hero6.com/
Problem is I think that the chances that such a game is completed is unlikely. :-[At least, it will take many years.
So I was thinking. Instead of making a totally new game, why not update the old ones? It shouldn't be too difficult. You should be able to broaden conversation a lot more in QFG by adding topics the player couldn't "ask about" in the original. Also insert more synonyms to make the game easier and more gamer friendly.
For those that are true adepts in "backtrack programming" they could add more quests and peole, environments etc. For example: Wouldn't it be cool if you could sneak into the castle and steal stuff from the baron as a thief?
A little extra artwork such as birds flying and people walking around could really help to improve the atmosphere aswell.
Of course QFG isn't the only SIERRA game that could use a polish. However I see it fitting, since it is a bit RPG and not as straightforward as Space quest and the other adventure games.
What do you think?

The only problem is that Quest for Glory is an SCI game, the current SCI Studio still needs a bit of work.
There's a guy called Sludge Vohaul (I'm guessing his real name is Sam) working on Space Quest 2 to add different puzzles and messages. Well, he's not really "working on" it at the moment.. Just whenever he feels like it..

To get his current version of the game, you'll have to send him an email and he will send it to you. He's afraid of legal repercussions so that's why he's doing it.

The problem with adding stuff to some AGI games is the fact that they're usually crammed full of resources anyway. It's impossible to add something without removing something else.
