FAQ for the updated Quest

Will expansions be available?
It depends on the success of the game, but we are planning to update our own expansion (Islands of Ice and Fire). The availability of other expansions by third parties would depend on lots of things. One of the most important is the editor, see next question. We'll certainly examine the possibility if the time comes.
Will the editor be available to create our own game worlds/maps?
The editor in its current form is incapable of creating expansions for the new PC version and would need a major effort. However, if there is enough demand for it after the release of the game, we'll look into making it work.
Will there be an option to enable the old graphics?
No, sorry. The new version is just too different for that. But we'll add the old PC version as an optional extra to the game, if it is feasible. (Any save created by the new PC version is incompatible with older versions, though.)
Do you have plans for other platforms?
We are planning to release a Macintosh version after the PC version. Right after that we would like to port the game to the iPad, using the new HD graphics. (The current iPhone version can be played on iPads, but it's just not the same. ) And if the game proves successful enough, we are also planning an Android version.
Can I use my existing saves from either the iPhone version or the old PC version?
No, sorry. Save games are not compatible. They will be compatible between the new PC version and the upcoming ports of it (Mac, iPad, Android), though. And you'd need to start a new character anyway to get the Achievements.
