Infamous Adventures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Infamous Adventures (commonly referred to as IA) is an amateur game development company, founded in 2004 by Shawn Mills ("Klytos") and Steven Alexander ("Blackthorne"), and is dedicated to making games in the classic adventure made famous by the releases of Sierra Entertainment and LucasArts in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Their games are created using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio (AGS) engine, and the games have project teams that are comprised of programmers, musicians, and artists from around the globe. Their games are released for free download via their website.

[edit] Released

[edit] King's Quest 3 VGA

Infamous Adventures released a remake of King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human on June 19, 2006[1]. In line with the AGD Interactive-created remakes of the original two Kings Quest games, the game features a point-and-click interface, as well as updated, VGA graphics[2]. As well, a voice pack was released on August 21, 2006, consisting of voices for every character, as well as a narrator. The game also includes a new ending sequence for players who finish the game with a perfect score.

As of January 2007, the game had been downloaded more than 80,000 times[3].

[edit] In Production

[edit] Quest for Infamy: So You Want to Be a Villain

IA's current project is an adaptation of Quest for Glory, playing as the villain rather than the hero. Like the original series, there will be three separate classes (bandit, rogue or warlock), each with its own story, to allow for greater replayability. As well, a new combat engine has been created for this game[4].

Although there haven't been many updates regarding this game, Infamous Adventures has claimed that they're working on it very steadily ever since the release of King's Quest III[citation needed].

[edit] Project X

On 25 October 2006, IA announced that they are also working on another, secret game[5][6]. Other than a trailer released on Youtube, which was titled "Project X", there is no information concerning the game that is being recreated (if applicable), or the story of this new game.

[edit] Space Quest 2?

On 25 January 2007, Infamous Adventures posted a static image of a Space Quest II scene in VGA. No confirmation of a SQ2 remake was announced however, allowing speculation to arise whether or not it was simply a homage to the Space Quest series or if they were secretly revealing that they were remaking Space Quest 2. [7] On 1 April 2007, Infamous Adventures confirmed the VGA remake of Space Quest II.[8]
