Infamous Adventures (commonly referred to as IA) is an amateur game development company, founded in 2004 by Shawn Mills (screen name Klytos) and Steven Alexander (screen name Blackthorne), and is dedicated to making games in the classic adventure made famous by the releases of Sierra Entertainment and LucasArts in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Their games are created using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio (AGS) engine, and the games have project teams composed of programmers, musicians, and artists from around the globe. All of their games are for free download via their website.
A post made on their website dated July 27, 2012 announced that they are no longer producing games. Shawn Mills and Steven Alexander also announced in the same post that they had started a new company, Infamous Quests, with the goal of creating original adventure games.
Infamous Adventures released a remake of King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human on June 19, 2006. In line with the AGD Interactive-created remakes of the original two Kings Quest games, the game features a point-and-click interface, as well as updated, VGA graphics. As well, a voice pack was released on August 21, 2006, consisting of voices for every character, as well as a narrator. The voice cast includes former Sierra employees Josh Mandel reprising his role from the official games as Graham, and Andy Hoyos (Mordack in King's Quest V) as Mannanan. The game also includes a new ending sequence for players who finish the game with a perfect score.
As of October 2008, the game had been downloaded more than 180,000 times.
On 25 January 2007, Infamous Adventures posted a static image of a Space Quest II scene. No confirmation of a SQ2 remake was announced however, allowing speculation to arise whether or not it was simply a homage to the Space Quest series or if they were secretly revealing that they were remaking Space Quest 2. On 1 April 2007, Infamous Adventures confirmed the VGA remake of Space Quest II. In April 2009 Infamous Adventures stated that Space Quest 2 was nearing alpha testing, and in April 2010 it was announced that the game was undergoing final stage beta testing. A teaser for the game (Space Quest For Glory) was released on April 15, 2011. The final product was released on the 30th of December 2011.
