I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Matt Korba the Creative Director of the New King's Quest. Thanks for having me.

I'll start off by saying KQ really is my favorite franchise of all time. One of my first gaming memories is typing "eat carrot" into a B&W version of King's Quest I, and being amazed the game actually responded.

I'll try to answer any questions I can. There are certain questions I can't answer yet due to upcoming reveals and I don't want to get anyone in trouble (myself included ). I want to do a legitimate AMA probably later on in Jan after some more details have come to light.

The new King's Quest is an episodic adventure game that focuses on the stories King Graham tells his curious granddaughter Gwendolyn. Through these stories Gwendolyn realizes the true greatness of her Grandfather. The game is not point and click in the traditional sense, but is an updated take on the formula (more details to come). You can expect puzzles, exploration, and a humor filled wondrous story.

The trailer is cut with a lot of action (hopefully I can share more about why later) but keep in mind adventure game mechanics are hard to show in a trailer without making the trailer seem slow for a mass audience. The game however is certainly not an action game and certainly not a platformer.

We are super passionate and excited to be working on this game. This is the most fun game I have ever worked on (hopefully to play too). It's a big task to bring back KQ and perhaps a genre even, but hopefully everyone can tell that we are pouring our souls into the game. If this game is successful, it could show the industry that people still want games where charm, storytelling, and using your mind are at the forefront. I'll answer the questions I can in the thread below. You can always reach out to me on twitter @mattkorba, sometimes that's faster.

I can't wait to show more, reveal the music, the gameplay, the story, etc. Oh and "Your Legacy Awaits" is a marketing slug not the subtitle, that will come later. If anyone wants to help me correct all the KQ wikis that would be awesome!

Das ist neu, oder?

The game’s recent trailer, showing Graham traipsing around the 3D environments, made King’s Quest look like a platformer. That’s the skin. The bones are pure classic adventure

King’s Quest has me excited for the future of adventure games. Until I sat down for a demo of The Odd Gentlemen’s modern take on the 30-year-old series, I didn’t know I was unexcited for the future of adventure games. But as I watched designer Matt Korba walk a gangly King Graham through a hand-painted forest, red cape billowing around him, and got a look at some simple puzzles and King’s Quest-style death scenes, I realized why I’m suddenly excited for this game and what it seems to be shooting for. It’s an 80s or 90s adventure game in spirit, with charm and puzzles and funny dialogue, but updated to tell its story with the gaming technology of 2015.

Leider quatschen zwei sogenannte "Spiele-Journalisten" drüber (was man heute halt so nennt), die nicht mal den Namen des Hauptcharakters kennen.
