Deadline Announcement + Water and Wood almost here!

why are they rushing it now? what can't they just add on more features over time?

 

Because it seems that in a while KAG development will have to be happening in their spare time, pretty much reducing it to bug fixing and balancing and stuff.

 

Once both boats and fire are in game, I'm going to celebrate by making my own funeral pyre.

 

And then there's modding.
KAG is NOT dead yet.
It still has a very long life to live.

 

Jeebus, I agree that the flamming is bad, and some of you guys are being to aggressive, but let people be fucking disappointed. Lots of buyers were very excited for Overworlds, and for the ones not "in the know", they just suddenly got it ripped away from them, so let them be sad without jumping on them and insulting them. They have all right to be disappointed and to explain their disappointment, without a dozen people jumping on them and saying their stupid and greedy.

On a happy note, can't WAIT for boats. Please please please let them be mass-ish transit boats (6-7ish players on one boat), it would be so much fun to have boat-battles. Keg cannons please? Also very excited for farms. But will animals make it in? There's already zombie chickens, so I think that we need some normal chickens as well, just to make sense (WHERE DID THESE BEAST COME FROM!?). Also, will their be new classes/unit side-grades? I'm fine as long as archers will finally be de-buffed (PLEASE VERY SOON), but a new class, like a rogue, that is more or less an anti-acher unit would finally complete the new weakness triangle (or square?), seeing how archers beat knights in almost every situation. I just feel bad to see that long list of sprites for new classes to go to waste.

 

I can imagine it now.
One poor little knight on a raft, trying to get away from a battleship full of builders.

 

Look at my avatar, if this happened to me, this is how I'd feel like. Throws curses*

 

I doubt they even know.
I think they will leave KAG when they (and us) think it's complete, so there isn't really a precise date.

 

Yeah, i will certainly check out your next game!
Do you even have a name as group?
Like X Y studios or something?
(the thing that 99% of the games has before they start :P)

 

HINT: It's on the KAG website. ;)

 

Transhuman Directive.


e: slower than Wonkyth but better.

 

So what, you don't think we're disappointed either? Do you know how stoked I was to become a roving thief, throwing ninja stars and robbing caravans? Eventually becoming a Robin Hood-esque hero, stealing from kings and noblemen and showering the poor in gold pieces... Sigh.

But the fact is that some of us are trying to be a little more optimistic. Yeah, it sucks. But they're not just giving up. I've been keeping up with the devblogs and I've read almost EVERYTHING that Geti has ever posted. I've been in PMs with him and other members discussing things about the game and going on huge rants about things I like and dislike... Then I realized this game has a great community. You've seen the MOLE server Zaloski, so you know that once modding capabilities are a little more streamlined and in depth that people like Bookmark and Rayne will be doing CRAZY shit to boost the life of the game. And I trust MM and Geti, because this game has been massively fun since I started playing back in January.

tl;dr : I think it's time we just trusted the guys and let them do their own thing. We're INCREDIBLY lucky as a community that we've had such a say in this game's development over the last year or so, but I think it's time we put down the reigns.

 

Bonesauce, nothing more has to be said.
I fully agree.
With a good enough playerbase and modding capabilities, a game eventually reaches a critical mass, where it can keep going on for a few years without dieing.

 

Don't get me wrong now, I'm not telling people to quit bitching, I'm just saying that some of us who don't seem disappointed actually are.

EDIT: On topic however, this is why I'm stoked for needing supports in bridging...



I didn't join the server, but I can just imagine how the game must be playing...

 

Yeah, skybridges are impossible to counter.

 

Especially ones like Red is building in that mini map. Thank GOD for supports...

 

Oh god, the walls of texts. Does anybody actually read those?
Anyways, Im gonna keep it short:

- Screw the Overworld.
- Fix things that we already have before adding new ones. (Server browser, hit detection, random spawns etc.)
- Don't change things that don't need to be changed. (Graphics)
- HUD needs a change, but judging from test build you're going in the wrong direction. It's even more chaotic.
- Don't add things for the sake of it, if you're not happy with the result. (Water being a layer above everything and not actually a lake)
- Custom heads - yes please. (Disregard people spreading propaganda about dick heads)
- Mod tools - yes please.

Over and out.

 

What happens if a support breaks? Does it just prevent you from building more on that section of the building, or does everything that wouldn't have been possible to build without that support just fall down?
