Stop already with calling the Scripting Build "KAG 1.0"

Ah, yea I saw that, he usually calls it scripting build as well though, not sure why the change, but it's still a bad change.

 

No.

 

Briefly: As people have already pointed out, the videos by MM have referred to sKAG as 'KAG 1.0'; I felt (and still feel) this lends some legitimacy to people referring to the scripting build by that name--at which point people asking for a name change (which isn't clear, btw, Blue; Box's post could just as easily be read as simply a grumpy old man shouting at kids to 'get off the damn lawn') need to provide reasons for said name change.

As I have iterated before: It wasn't a matter disagreeing with the content of said post; I saw an off-topic opinion and I deleted it. EoD.

In other news, Blue, seeing as the 'KAG 1.0' dealio is a driving concern of yours, I hope you'll be taking the first opportunity to chat with MM about it; because you know as well as I that he's unlikely to see it here on the forums.

 

I will when I catch him on, usually I am only on at the same time in the mornings, so probably tomorrow morning for me.

 

I never said it was, simply gave a reason, FBB blew it up by deleting posts/making a new thread over it.

The scripting build.

You should know by now that only the plebs get their info from the devlog. Direct>Forum>Blogs

 

No one likes flame wars, that's why there isn't one happening.

 

I've read through most of this thread, but I may have missed a point. To re-phrase, BlueLuigi, you don't want the game to be called KAG 1.0, but rather "KAG scripting" or some variation of that? I understand your sentiment that sKAG/KAG 1.0 will be a completely different game, but I don't think "KAG scripting" is a good name in terms of PR. I can't imagine how will the devs market the game. (As "King Arthur's Gold: The Better Other Version"?)

Do you think it would be appropriate for a completely new name to be adopted? (The OP seems to suggest this, but I'm not sure.) If so, do we have any actual ideas? I like it when the community actually comes up with some solutions rather than just discussing the problems (not saying the discussion is bad).

 

Premium KAG was also slung around, KAG 1.0 doesn't really help, you could use another name, KAG 1.0 just doesn't fit, KAG scripting as that isn't so great either, but it fits better.

 

Read it again, no KAG 1.0 is a terrible name for it, call it that all you want but it's a stupid thing to reference it as, they should effectively come up with a different name for it or simply call it KAG and retire what is the current KAG to the name of classic KAG. Realistically however it isn't the same thing, there are many big differences which is the problem with calling it KAG 1.0.

If you called it KAG 2 for example that would at least imply that it is a sequel which would make more sense, KAG scripting might even make some sense as it is essentially KAG redone to be able to work alongside a scripting engine, KAG Premium as it is 'Premium' access only, golden KAG would even be slightly acceptable, KAG 1.0 however implies that it is simply a more feature complete version of what KAG is, that it hit some mark. Think of it this way, I'm a player that enjoyed KAG around build 100-300, but I quit playing for whatever reason or other.

I then hear of 'KAG v1.0', if I've ever played any other game I know that the v1.0 of any game is a feature full mostly bug free (at least the larger bugs/anything a player would usually run into that doesn't basically take levels of autism to find), so I come back and I get this, a game that is basically KAG except:
1)Movement totally different
2)Combat totally different (and slightly worse)
3)Building totally different (and slightly better)
4)No CTF (the gamemode that oh I don't know something like 60% of servers host?)
5)No goldrush
6)No inclusion of several other gamemodes that once upon a time did work, work currently, or elsewise.

Even if you didn't accept the idea that naming it to seem like a versioning scheme is wrong and that it has nothing to do with that, why would you not then call it KAG v2.0 to imply that it is newer and better, fresher, as the number 2 often suggests, instead?
