Quest for Infamy??

anybody know of any walkthrus for this game??

Thanks~Doc

Karen,

Here's the post studio's official walkthrough here.
You can download that .pdf file.

Also I will move you to Darkside forum. This is an RPG game. Have fun.

MaG

Thanks, MaG

Have fun, Doc

Thanks, MaG

I'm sure I'll be needing it !!

[I'm still waiting for my boxed version of the game to be dispatched. Things seem to be moving very slowly in that regard ]

Cheers.

Mad

Have you written to them about this, Mad? That seems like an inordinately long time to have to wait.

Hi Marian

A month ago I received a "no reply" Kickstarter message which said in effect "boxed versions are expected to be dispatched soon".
But I've heard nothing since

So I emailed the developers earlier today - asking for an update - and I'll let you know what results that brings

[There might possibly have been announcements on Social Media sites but I don't use any of them.]

Cheers.

Mad

Keep us posted - I knew you had ordered the game but thought you had already played it.

Oh, the digital version was available to me long ago but having pledged for the "boxed disk version" I decided to wait for that before playing

It would be interesting to know if any person has yet received their boxed version ??

EDIT :

Well my email to the developers (info@infamous-adventures.com) was just returned.
It couldn't be delivered because "mailfolder is full" !!

Does anyone please know of an alternative address I can use to make contact ??

I just found this message on their Kickstarter page, a message which was posted in June:



Maybe when they reply, they will be able to give you an even better idea of when your boxed version will arrive.

Hi Marian.

I won't get a reply because, as I said above, my email was returned as "undeliverable" due to their mailbox being full !!

That's why I was asking if anyone knew of an alternative contact address ....

I must say I find not being able to contact them rather disconcerting

Ah, I hadn't seen your edited post when I submitted my last post. I don't know if there is an alternate way to contact them or not, but I'll look around.

I just sent you a PM.

Thank you Marian. And I have replied

Well, having now tried TWO contact addresses and both having been reported as not able to receive emails, I am rather disgruntled

It seems a last Kickstarter update (of nearly six weeks ago) regarding the dispatch of pledged for boxed versions of this game is all there is !!

But considering how long it is since the game was actually completed and available as a download .... I am very unimpressed

I guess you could try PMing Blackthorne over at Adventuregamers.
He announced Infamous Adventures next game in this thread...
http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/5323/

You can get additional info on the status of things by looking at this page, in particula the message posted on June 12th - unless you've already seen this message, of course. I don't think all hope is lost, but you need to be able to get a hold of a company representative.

Hi Marian

Yes, I've looked at every update as it's been posted.
And I don't doubt for a minute that I will eventually be sent the boxed game.

But not allowing contact both ways whilst taking "forever" to get the game sent out is hardly good practice, in my opinion, and not conducive to attracting backers for a future project

Cheers.

Mad

Sorry, Jenny100 !! I didn't see your post on my last visit

I'll certainly think about your "contact" suggestion - and thank you for it

Hi Mad~

you can buy the game as a download from GOG
if you end up not getting the boxed version`
i am really enjoying the game` its a lot like Quest for glory Doc

Yes. I'm aware that it's available at Gog, thank you, Drmojo

However, I paid a higher price when I pledged for a boxed version via Kickstarter so I fully intend to get a boxed version

For what it's worth, there's been a July 20th update on the status of the boxed version:

Kickstarter Quest for Infamy page

He says he's been getting messages from people inquiring about this - I just wish he had elaborated on how they had contacted him.

"He says he's been getting messages from people inquiring about this - I just wish he had elaborated on how they had contacted him."

Me too, Marian .... I certainly wasn't able to make contact via ANY address !!

However, even though we do now have another progress report I'm not impressed as the update of June 12th told us disk production would start on June 19th !!

It looks to me as though more bugs or whatever were discovered after that June update and resolving those is what has actually caused yet another delay.

No. Not at all impressed

Well, here we are, yet another month gone and still no game received !!

Very disappointing

I'm really sorry to hear that.

It is quite ridiculous

Mad, so sorry you are experiencing this.

I tried an email again and thus far it hasn't been returned as "undeliverable".

So maybe I might get an actual reply ?? Who knows

Fingers crossed!

Well, it's a week, looney4labs, and no reply to my email !! Plus it's now over another month since the last official update

So frustrating when these things happen.

Well, finally, after making a "public comment" on the Kickstarter pages, I got a communication from Steven Blackthorne ....

He directed me back to the "comment" pages to read his latest update (in response to my enquiry - and the enquiries of others) in which he says he expects to be able to start sending out the boxed games after he receives the game DVDs later this month.

So not really anything actually new or definite.

And I will just have to continue to live with the hope that maybe some time before Christmas I might have my game

Mad, I'm glad you finally heard something.

Mad - it's not the same post from July 20th that Marian linked to above I hope.

No, oldbroad. It IS a "new" update.
But gives no real "new" information.
It still doesn't specify an actual date when deliveries will start

Hopefully things are looking up !!

Just been sent an update announcing that the DVDs are at last about to start being packaged

And the mailing out of boxed editions is due to begin next Tuesday

Oh, good! Do let us know when your boxed version arrives.

I will, Marian. Although you might just hear the shout hurtle across the pond !!

Fingers crossed for you Mad!

Thank you, oldbroad

Hope it's worth the wait. I know sometimes my Kickstarter rewards are very late....Just got one in yesterday that was 2 years late....but at least they came in

Two years ?? Crumbs !! Is that a record ??

I hope so

So do I,looney4labs !! It certainly needs to be

Well, in theory, my boxed Quest for Infamy should be arriving any day now .... In theory !!

Anybody received theirs yet ??

Or am I actually the only Gameboomer who pledged for one

Possibly the only one who pledged enough for a boxed version.
Though
*** $35 for the DVD case version ***
(or GBP equivalent) is a LOT less than most Kickstarters ask for for physical versions.
If I'd realized that was all they were asking I'd have donated that amount myself.
I wonder if they were overly optimistic about how much producing the DVD case versions would cost.

I agree, Jenny100. The "pledging price" for a boxed version was very reasonable - which is why I went for it

I so much prefer disk versions to downloads

After recently enquiring (again) about a delivery date I received an email today informing me that my disk version is being shipped out later this week.
Hopefully that will turn out to be the case

Woo Hoo, your long wait will finally be rewarded

Fingers crossed, Mad.

Yes. My "bated breath" has been severely tested so far !!

STILL being tested

Over two weeks now since the predicted mailing and no game in sight

Tick, tock, tick, tock....hopefully the delivery is imminent.

I just hope that clock doesn't stop, Marian !!!!

Hopefully, Mad, when it comes, it will be worth the wait.

I so TRULY hope so, looney4labs

Phew !! A month now and still no game

Phooey (although stronger words spring to mind)!

I was just thinking about you and this game today, wondering if you received it yet. Yes, I would say much stronger words myself!

Oh, believe me, strong words were definitely trying to burst out but I thought I'd better hold 'em in and stick with "Phew" in public !!

Oh, Mad, this is dragging out so long for you

Way beyond ridiculous, now, really, looney4labs

The saga continues and I still don't have my boxed game

The latest is that on visiting the Kickstarter site for messages, I was informed I couldn't be emailed by Mr. Blackthorne because my email address was not useable. So would I please update it upon which I would be sent a test email.

In response, I didn't "update" anything because there is nothing wrong with my email address. I just indicated that I would like to be sent a test email - which I received and to which I replied - all using my normal email address - which is the one they said wasn't useable !!

I realise this might all be getting rather boring for Gameboomer members to read but I'm charting these ridiculous "goings on" publicly because they are disgraceful and should be made known

Goings on indeed.

Your supposed email difficulty reminds me of one time when I bought something from an Amazon Marketplace seller, who wrote to inform me that he could ship the item as soon as I provided him with a valid snail mail address - apparently my snail mail address that I had already given did not seem valid to him. I wrote back and told him that unfortunately I couldn't accommodate that, because the only way I could provide him with a different snail mail address would be if I were to move and that I had no plans of doing so.

Marian, did you get your item?

Mad, sorry this is still ongoing. Have you left feedback on KS?

Yes, I did - I think the seller was quite embarrassed when he realized his mistake. I still don't know why he thought my postal address was invalid.

Not boring at all Mad. I think everybody is rooting for you. I sincerely hope you get your game soon!

Finally, another update .... Here is what came ....

"A quick update from Steve - The rewards are all in, at my house - I had hired someone to help me assemble them for shipping and send them out - long story short, they basically went AWOL, and I've been swamped - not only working on the new game, but I'm expecting my first child in early December, so things have been crazy at my home. They're coming, but it's taking longer than I'd like - I really, really sincerely apologize - getting these things out is so important to me, and I'm spread so thin these days. I promise everyone will get their items, and I want to reassure people that it's happening. It's hard because it's just me, at the moment, who can work on packaging and posting them.

I'm very, very sorry - seriously, this is giving me an ulcer, because this part means a lot to me - the items look great, but they don't look good taking up space in my house! I want them in your hands - so, please, I ask just a little patience and I try to hustle up on this. Going to try and get some more help here in the next couple weeks, and we'll be sending out packages - I'll be taking photos and posting them so you can see them going out.

I really appreciate your support, and your continued patience and support. This project has been a labor of love for all of us, and I definitely have a great appreciation for the major operations that packaging and distributing companies are!"

Bt

Interesting update, Mad. I wonder how many packages he has to ship, in total?

I'm not sure whether that kind of info gets posted, Marian

You could probably figure out an approximation.

Google
"quest for infamy" site:kickstarter.com

Copy the result into archive.org and choose an old version of the webpage that lists Pledges and number of backers.

You get something like ***this page***

Add up the number of backers who pledged $35 or more, which is the minimum for the physical DVD version.

83+42+61+10+6+26+3+8+1+1+2+1+7+4+2+4+5+1+1+2+1=271

And then some packages are bigger and include physical stuff beyond the basic DVD, which makes things a bit more complicated.

Mad, I'm glad you heard something. That sort of experience is not unusual in my KS experience.

Well it certainly shouldn't be, looney4labs, and I hope it never is again - for either of us !!

Phew .... I'm glad you didn't ask me to dig around and sort out those figures, Jenny100. Kudos to you !!
