Yonkey, how long have you been with the KQ9 team? A month?
I’m not trying to be offensive, but seriously, that production has been toing and froing for so many years that there exists no clear conception in the public eye of what KQ9 will end up being.
You may not realise this but the PR material put out over the last several years (by your team) have on a fundamental level represented KQ9 in a wide variety of guises. At one time it may have been an adventure game in the classic point and click style, while at another it boasted enough RPG elements that it really couldn’t qualify as an adventure game anymore.
Anyway, aesthetically the game looks great – similar to how I hoped Sierra’s adventures would someday turn out. Good luck with finishing the game!
