That does seem strange... GOG is so popular and so easy to use, I'd think they would want to get some of these really good games.


Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

That would be disappointing especially for this best kept secret game that wasn't talked much about before release and a shame for those who prefer not to use Steam. Wonder if these young developers could be persuaded to also sell a limited amount of extra DVD's like the one Colpet is getting from the KIckstarter campaign, that would be nice. Or they could check into their own digital distribution on the games web site especially if these young fellows continue on with more games which is certainly my hope.

If they can't stock the games I'm interested in, they can have 80% off sales until they're blue in the face and I still won't buy anything.

And unfortunately a lot of new releases at Humble are Steam-only (like Nelly Cootalot).
So I end up never buying or playing the game.

I hope the developers of Quern contact Fireflower games, which sells DRM-free, client-free versions of games -- for example, Demetrios and Perils of Man, which don't seem to be available anywhere else.

Status of DRM free release




Posted by Zadbox Entertainment (Creator)






From an email:


Hello guys,

In the last few weeks we received quite a few questions about how and when the DRM free release is going to be handled. As many of you suggested, it’s all going to be done through GOG. We are already in contact with the guys at GOG and it shouldn’t take much longer for everything to be sorted. We will let you know once it’s ready.

Please be aware, that the Steam version is also DRM free. All you need to do is to download Quern through Steam then you can copy the game’s folder wherever you want.You can even uninstall Steam afterwards.

Thank you for your patience,
Zadbox

Thanks Oldbroad for that info, very encouraging for those not yet able to play this wonderful game. I have selfish reasons for hoping more will come on board with Quern as maybe with success, there will come more games, fingers crossed. Do you know if the possible GOG release is only for the Kickstarter backers or for retail?

#1 Game of the Last 5 years at least, for me. Might also be helpful if those interested read this as well as the other Minimum requirements for this gem of a game...

Don't be too sure.
You meet the minimum requirements listed at ***Game Debate***

The difference between the GTX 770 and the recommended GTX 950 card is "Too close to call" according to GPU Boss.

I had to upgrade my card as well. Went to a Gforce 1050 4G. Amazon had 1 for $149 It was worth EVERY PENNY!! This game is wonderful. If you're a MYST fan you will love it & if you're not it may turn you into one. HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS GAME!!

Hi, you don't need to post twice about this - we will see your question. I deleted your other post so as to keep the forum tidy. Feel free to ask other Quern questions here. wave

According to the Steam forum, the default for the game is mouse and keyboard. If there is another way to play the game, hopefully one of our Quern players will be able to fill you in.

For the most part all you need is a Mouse that is Programmable. Program one of your mouses buttons for the W Key. Then you just need to guide your travels with the mouse movement and use your programmed button to move forward. I would have never played Quern if I couldn't move in this manner and had to use the Keyboard only. But be sure to make note of the System Requirements as this game is very demanding. I would recommend even higher than the minimum requirements.

Do what GreyFuss says, and in my view this is the best way to walk around in these environments. Right mouse moves, left mouse interacts.
Many games will let you do that in the options, otherwise you can use mouse software.


Quantity has a quality all of its own

Thank you,

You probably need to start by purchasing a programmable mouse that has software that allows you to map the W key on the keyboard to a mouse button. Exact instructions will vary with the mouse you purchased and the software it uses, but you can Google the phrase:
*** how to program mouse button ***
to get an idea of what's involved.

If by "mouse driven" you mean "point-and-click," you can't make Quern have point-and-click movement. If you are zoomed in on a puzzle, you may be able to click to interact with the puzzles, but movement between locations requires constantly holding down a mouse button or keyboard key while aiming with the mouse.

If you are satisfied by a system that is "mouse controlled" but not "point-and-click" and simply substitutes holding down a mouse button for holding down the "W" key, then yes you can do that. The game may not offer the option, but you may be able to remap a mouse button to the "W" key if you have mouse software that offers that option.

I have only used Logitech Mice since playing on computers and I believe that most of the ones they sell now have the "SetPoint" software included for programability or you should be able to download it from their web site.

Looks like you can get SetPoint software here
http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/setpoint

(Of course you'll also need the compatible Logitech mouse.)
