[Doan Sephim]

Cloudee or Doan - when you get a chance can you add this to Collector's award page?

Edit - Done and done!

The topic of KQ2SCI came up on the Sierra Gamers Facebook group. Some offered to help and I pointed them in this direction. More people may show up. Hopefully this might start to pick up again.

Hi

I am one of those 'offered to help' people!

Do you have Skype? Would maybe be easier to have a chat and find out where things are and get up to speed.

I don't see anything here that couldn't be achieved.

Have an awesome day!

I'm from the FB page too.  How should we send assets to you for approval?

You can attach images to posts right here I think that will do fine. SCI Viewer and the latest version of SCI Companion can export View loops as animated GIFs so that will help with previewing here too.

As for a Skype, I like the idea but I'm not really in a position to be able to do it right now. I'm not sure when I will be either. Next week might be a possible window, but I'm heading out sometime close to the weekend not exactly sure when and won't be back until the following week. We'll see...

So I didn't end up going, however I still don't have much time to devote to this what with packing and house showings. I'm also gone all day tomorrow. Might have to postpone anything official until August, however if you've got something you're working on feel free to post it here. This is a group discussion so I'd like to get everyone's input on things and I'll pop in and give my two cents as well.

Attached here is a .zip file with some views of Graham wearing the black cloak. Sorry there's no preview, I can't figure out how to export view loops to .gifs.

[MusicallyInspired]

Both the latest versions of SCI Viewer and SCI Companion can export View loops as animated GIFs easily. The latest version of SCI Viewer doesn't have a version number and can open AGI games. SCI Companion 3.0.0.11 at least can export to GIF too. Should be able to right from the menu.

As for the Views themselves, wonderful work! I'm pleased to see that you didn't just copy the sprites from KQ5 with the blueish cloak, like KQ2VGA+ did. And it even has the raised collar like Dracula! I love it! Thanks for your contribution! I'll add it to the game right away. There's already code in place to put on and take off the cloak, but obviously it's in code only as there were no sprites before now. There are probably a few extra generic animations we should add the cloak to as well, like stooping down to pick up an object, as objects can be picked up all over Kolyma whether you're wearing the cloak or not.

The latest SV can also view a few resources from other non-SCI/AGI games that share some properties with SCI, like Shivers 2, Antara and MoE.
