Fanmade King's Quest saved after all
Posted on Saturday, 10 December 2005 by Ryuken, source: Phoenix Online
Some while ago it was made public that Vivendi Universal Games asked Phoenix Online Studios to stop with their fanmade King's Quest IX title. The VUG-company Sierra owned the rights but weren't doing a new KQ game either.
Now, VUG has made an agreement with Phoenix Online. The project name will change from "King's Quest IX: Every Cloak Has A Silver Lining" to "The Silver Lining".
Here is what VUG has to say about it:
But because of the struggles with this 'fan license' the game will be delayed till 2006. Check out the game on the website. Nevertheless, it shows that a publisher can be convinced somehow:
Perhaps there is hope out there for more such projects now.
Now, VUG has made an agreement with Phoenix Online. The project name will change from "King's Quest IX: Every Cloak Has A Silver Lining" to "The Silver Lining".
Here is what VUG has to say about it:
"After extensive evaluation, Vivendi Universal Games is pleased to announce that the fan developed trilogy project 'The Silver Lining' (previously known as King's Quest IX: Every Cloak Has A Silver Lining), based on characters from Sierra Entertainment's 'Kings Quest' series, has been given approval to continue development. We look forward to seeing the first of its three upcoming chapters, 'Shadows', completed soon."
But because of the struggles with this 'fan license' the game will be delayed till 2006. Check out the game on the website. Nevertheless, it shows that a publisher can be convinced somehow:
On behalf of The Silver Lining Development Team, we would like to thank the thousands of fans that made this possible by emailing VUG and spreading the news; we would also like to give a special thanks to Matt Compton and Cat Tyson, organizers of SaveKQIX.org for such unconditional and wonderful support, as well as everyone who helped them in this kind effort. Also, special thanks to Rod Rigole 'Vice-President of Legal Affairs' and Marcus Beer 'Senior Public Relations Manager', both from VUG, for their great help during the negotiation. Without any of the aforementioned, none of this would have happened.
The cloak has dropped and the silver lining appeared. You, the fans, made it happen.
Thank you,
