I used to love playing Funeral Quest a year or more ago. Is it dead now? When I found it on my JIG google thingy I was ecstatic.
There are no active servers though. How disappointing.

Funeral quest III confirmed? We can be like Microsoft and skip a couple of versions...Originally Posted by NexusFIN
Really? Is there news said Funeral Quest will have new installment? Is it true? Don't make me excited!
Oh, it is sad to hear that since I can play the game without downloading - the most charming feature I like best.
Maybe, read this!Really? Is there news said Funeral Quest will have new installment? Is it true? Don't make me excited!
Hype?A little background on how I choose what project to work on. (with the exception of Growtopia, RTsoft still has exactly one developer, me! (well, Akiko helps sometimes too with art)
The Dink community is telling me I need to put Dink Smallwood on steam and do updates.
Got an email letting me know I need to get Funeral Quest (a browser based multiplayer game where you run competing funeral parlors) up again. It's tricky because it's flash based and Flash is now more or less dead, huge amount of work to get that running for most browsers again.
Growtopia has a big "Fishing" update that is in the works right now. (Slowed down by iOS approval delays)
Tanked doesn't have many players, but it's still a good game and really does deserve updates.
I have a NEW game I'm designing but can't decide on which engine to use yet, need to do more research and tests.
Blip Arcade should be made free and updated to work on tablets better. (ok fine, nobody asked for that, but I'd like to do it)
Akiko wants to do a 5 hour bike ride today. I might.
Yet for some reason the only thing I've done for the last few days is play MGSV and am having a great time, I'm at 44% complete, can I finish it?
Moral of the story is the great thing about running your own company is while you do need to meet certain obligations (if there is a bug in any of these games that ruin it, you need to drop everything and fix it) but you can try to follow your own personal motivation when choosing on what you want to work on next.
Motivations change from month to month. I try to be very honest and not promise "huge updates!" to games unless I know I am going to deliver and with Tanked I just don't know - the only thing I can promise is that I will do my best to keep the server running. I don't think the current income it makes every pays for the server cost anymore.

Hopefully this thread can live on because FQ sure as heck is dead.
Anyone interested in running a Funeral Quest server? Requires a Windows box.

Requirements by hardware? Also is it really not possible to create a Linux build, I doubt it'd work with WINE.
I wouldn't mind fetching a KVM Windows VPS for this, but it'd be cheaper to port it to Linux. I have no issues with finding dependencies.
Also terms would be nice.
Still considering, just need to know more details.
Sometimes, a good thing comes to an end.

It does require Windows, but nothing special beyond that. (I ran it from an old XP machine for quite a while) It would be a bit ugly to port the server to Linux (it's using MFC for the GUI) but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to totally rip out the entire GUI and replace it with some kind of telnet type admin, which would make everything much more portable. Should also remove the Windows-specific extras like the text to speech announcements it can do.
The license to the source would likely be this one.
If you'd like to check out the server (I *think* it might work under Wine...) it's been released here.
