17 hours feel a long time...

I'm currently reading "Time's Eye" by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Too soon to see where the authors are going for now.

Still not there for me:

How does it work for Spiderweb Software when they ask a platform to propose keys? Do they have to pay for that? Nobody seems interested in keys on Itch.io.

What's up with everyone and the graphics in games nowadays??? There are even people who claim that Skyrim looks like crap. I guess it's just a sign of the times where looks and appearance count more than content. Graphics are not important, gameplay and story are.

Lasted only the week-end; I hope people took the opportunity. This thread can be locked I imagine.

Nice article ! Clear and not spoiling too much. (And, rarity on the French web, not one typo or fault! Congratulations! ) The more I hear of that game, the more anxious I'm to play it.

Wait, where did they get the demo? Can't we have it now too?

I know that; I just don't want to spend more time than necessary in fights.

Uh... I hope there are difficulty levels because I don't like fights much; I'm mainly interested in the story.

Is there a demo of the game available somewhere?

The offer includes the hint book and extras, here: https://www.gog.com/game/avadon_the_black_fortress Scroll down to "Buy all series for..." Even not on sale the whole series is a lot cheaper on GOG than on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/5711/Avadon_Trilogy_Bundle/ I wonder why.

I hope you are right but I doubt it. On the other hand, the hint book and bonuses are announced for September 11: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1146620/Queens_Wish_Hintbook_and_Bonuses/?snr=1_5_9__405 Doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe, I'll buy it on GOG, it will actually depend on the price they'll charge for it.

Actually, all things considered, it 's a miracle these forums are still up. It's a miracle that Spiderweb Software still exist either in a world where AAA companies are so "noisy" and getting all the fuss on the internet. Yeah, a miracle.... and I should be here more often.

Looks like Steam disagrees. Or is it because I'm in Europe? What time and time zone is "early Wednesday morning"?

September 12th, in fact.

The date on Steam is 09/12th, not 11. It's just "Coming Soon" on GOG.

I suspected so. Maybe Jeff will reconsider? One day? Maybe...

Congratulations @Spidweb! 👍

Or maybe he's been secretly working on it to surprise his fans?

I really don't remember that but I played Avernum 3 for the last time probably more than ten years ago. Are there timed quests in other of Jeff's games?

Thank you! I have already explored the existing scenarios; they contain a bunch of scripts in the txt format and images. They can be used with the game only so I don't see how I could use them for the game I have in plan.

Wait, there are timed quests In Avernum 3? I have no recollection of that at all... I suppose I had no problems with them back then. If I managed them, you shouldn't worry too much.

I installed Blades of Avernum, the editor and then searched for a scenario editor. On the Blades of Avernum Scenario Workshop page, the link to Crimson Editor is broken. The new link is http://crimsoneditor.com/ Could a moderator, if there is any, update the page?

Ah okay! Sorry for being dumb. I own Blades of Avernum, I'll take a look. Thank you. To add a picture, you must upload it on a site like Imgur and then post the url in your post; the image will display as a link. I personally upload my images on another site. Here is a picture I took of a mirror I made in Unity: https://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1541249010.jpg
