This looks very fun and promising. I've always loved the colourful visual style of the init exit games. It simply makes you happy 🐷
Glad to hear that - thanks! The games are indeed born out of jolly times enjoyed with friends and they do intend to spread some cheerfulness around :)
This is one of the most enticing games series available. I have been contemplating making an indepth video about it....
Thanks for considering the games worthy of a video :)
However, to be honest, until QIE IIo is finished, the series doesn't amount to much: there's QIE and then there's QIE IIm, which is only a 16 kB, 1-zone version of QIE IIo (and such zone is a smaller version of one of the zones included in QIE IIo - in fact, when/if QIE IIo is released, QIE IIm will be probably retired).
Thanks, I will take that into account. No harm in doing another video when QIE IIo is released in its final form though.
Frankly the entire Epic from BOH to MAH and KOG and all the others is a story worth telling. It's quirky and intriguing enough, like Jeff Minter's games but with more purpose.
Ah, sorry, I thought you intended to focus only on the QIE games.
I'm more than happy that you noticed the common backstory and that you appreciate it! It's purely ornamental, but I found it fun to connect totally unrelated games in such a weird way. At some point I stopped as I could no longer afford to update the manuals (especially those formatted for printing, where changes can be painful or even impossible) of the past games and re-package and re-release the latter every time I added a new game to the "saga".
