Are you in the mood for more Lion Quest? If so you’re in luck – LQVE: Lion Quest Versus Expanded launches on Steam today. Rebuilt from the ground up, this next game in the series reimagines the multiplayer component of the original Lion Quest. You can check it out on the Steam store here. And below are answers to some questions you may have about LQVE: Lion Quest Versus Expanded. Is there a single player? Yes! Although my original intention was to create a refined take on the Lion Quest multiplayer, I couldn’t resist adding in a whole bunch of single player features. This includes the 1p Cup mode where you play through tournaments against the AI, and Lion Quest Delta – an experimental take on the classic Lion Quest platforming mechanics. Is LQVE a sequel to the original Lion Quest? Sort of! Mechanically yes, and a sequel to the VS component of Lion Quest, also yes. It doesn’t contain a follow up to the original’s story mode, however the classic platforming mechanics do return in Lion Quest Delta. Is there AI or ‘bots’? Yes, you can configure your LQVS game to include any combination of human and CPU players. You can train against the computer or make up the numbers by adding in AI characters, it’s entirely up to you. What about online play? Unfortunately not. The good news is that LQVE has been designed for local multiplayer and simply doesn’t have the framework for a competitive online game. The emphasis is on experimenting with characters and game modes, with various handicap options to allow people of different skill levels to play together. Will LQVE receive updates/new features in the future? Yes! The original Lion Quest is still being supported a year and a half later and I hope to do the same with this title. What Steam features does LQVE support? At launch there are 25 achievements to be unlocked and support for Steam Cloud, allowing for cross-platform cloud save. The game has to meet some minimum metrics with Steam before Trading Cards can be enabled, but hopefully this is something I’ll be able to add in the future. … In other news, Lion Quest version 1.21 is on its way. Nothing too major to report other than some minor optimisations and bug fixes to the co-op ‘2 player adventure’ game camera. You can expect this update in the next couple of days.
