King's Quest (2015 video game) Puns

> The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom developer The Odd Gentlemen are producing the new King’s Quest game. It is a fully “reimagined” take on the original series, according to Activision. The publisher promises that The Odd Gentlemen comprises a number of fans of the King’s Quest franchise. The studio intends to capture the same combination of difficult puzzles and engaging narrative as the originals. The adventure title is due out in 2015 for unspecified platforms — although the company notes it will release its software on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam.

So, now that King's Quest: A Knight To Remember is out, and in general, people seem to be liking it quite a bit, how do you think this will affect the industry (both AAA and indie)? Will we be seeing more games in the style of classic "point-and-click" adventure games, will there be little to no change, or do you think people will be turned off somehow from making these types of games?

EDIT: I had no idea Daedalic existed, and I had barely looked into Telltale. I have much to learn, apparently.

I'm trying to get King's Quest to work, but after trying all the suggestions I can find in protondb, the game still does not launch. The first time set up ran, and then it ceased to say Running in Steam, never got even a black screen for the game attempting to launch. I'm running Manjaro and using Proton 3.7.8. For more detailed system specs and software status, I've made a pastebin post.

Steps I've tried:

>1) Using Proton 3.7-8, set the launch option "PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%" and click on Play. 2) Download .NET40 from here: "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718". 3) Open a terminal and run: "/tmp/proton_$USER/run winecfg". Set the WIndows version to 2003, and add an override for xaudio2_7 in the libs section. 4) Run "/tmp/proton_$USER/run <.net40location>/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" (change the dir accordingly and install it)

The steps provided seemed to break down at this point since it said it was already installed. I ran the last 2 steps anyway, to no avail.

>installing libgnutls26 from AUR and installing wine-mono

^^^ Also tried. No help.

Also tried disabling esync.

Does anyone else have any additional suggestions?

I played this game with 1-5 floppy disks and picked up the game from BJ's. It started out with a guy picking up his broken TV to a store and then coming back and picking it up. A burly hero type guy walks into the store and also leaves with a TV. It turns out the TV that the main character got sends him to another world. I don't really know the rest of the story but I remember going around looking for ways to capture a multicolored bird in a cave. Any ideas?

(Spoilers) After I enter the cave and handle the green crystals, and enter 8-bit, I can't move. None of the controls anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

And am sobbing like a little girl. I hate/love it when I get so wrapped up and emotionally invested in characters that I cry at the ending. Same thing happened with Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age, and others.

I had to share here because I know my friends wouldn't get it... I also know/hope I'm not alone in these feeling for games...

I just finished Danny and Ross' King's Quest (2015) Chapter 1 playthrough. At the end, they mentioned they'd play Chapter 2 once it came out. I then heard by quickly browsing the subreddit here that they were waiting for all the chapters (+ epilogue) to come out, so they could binge play it since that'd work better. Well, shit, that's happened and they still haven't picked the game up again, what gives?

Whether it's something classic that holds up, or something new, what do you think are some examples that manage to strike a balance by having puzzles that push the imagination without being ridiculously cryptic.

I recently heard about Deponia, for example, and started getting curious.
