The Games and other Sierra Adventure stuff / Japanese KQ7 Intro on YouTube

« on: October 31, 2023, 01:01:27 AM »

It's been known to me for awhile now that a Japanese version of KQ7 for awhile but was functionally lost media, it's not been preserved anywhere on the web as far as I'm aware, and basically the only information I could only find to confirm it exists is old photos of the box and long-since-completed auction listings. For fun tonight I decided to just check to see if anything had surfaced about it out of curiosity and by total happenstance stumbled upon a video from just a year ago with less than 200 views of the intro video, showing off the full Japanese dub.


(I mostly just lurk here on and off so I dunno if/how to embed it. Edit: Oh it auto-embeds lol)

I don't really have anything else to add other than... it's real! I figured it should be shared somewhere where the English Sierra community can see it. The description of the video simply states it's a rare game. I'd love to one day get to play this version myself, but it's cool to finally see it in action if only briefly.

AGI Development Tools / Re: WinAGI Version 2.1.3 Is Available

Buggers. The toolbar handler uses the Key property of the pressed button to set the draw mode; I don't know how, but the Key for the absolute line button got deleted, so the button just gets ignored now. I have no idea what I did that caused that, because I haven't worked on that code in a very long time. It's an easy fix. I will try to post an update shortly, since the picture editor is not very functional without it. While it's not very efficient, you could use the trapezoid option to draw a temporary set of lines, then edit the coordinates to be the line you actually want. (use Ctrl+Ins to add new coordinates as needed).

 If you find any other major bugs like this, please let me know.

FWIW, I'm working in C# now, so other than fixes for things that are severely broken, there won't be any more updates to version 2. Maybe by some time this summer, I'll be ready to release a more modern version... with a lot of new bugs...

thx,

No problem! I'll be sure to share if I find anything else like that in my fiddlings. I'll be looking forward to both the Pic Editor fix and whatever more you got in store later down the line, makes me happy to see this program still being maintained after so long.

I was fiddling with this a bit, and I noticed that in the Picture Editor, the button for Absolute Line does not function properly. You can click it and it will show Absolute Line selected but the tool will continue to be whatever it was previously. I'm on Windows 7, for what it's worth.
