What's next?

Challenges? check

CTF? check

What are we working on next?

Of course:

• tweaking gameplay
• fixing bugs
• making the game run faster
• adding new maps

But you know us? We have fire in our bellies and can’t just stop. The major things you should expect this week are:

• Mod downloading
  This means any mod used by the server in the Mods folder and specified in mods.cfg will be automatically downloaded for everyone on joining the server. Awesome! We are doing this in a no bullshit manner. I’m just providing file download functionality and the rest is handled by you, humble server owners, mod makers and players.
• Faster patcher
  We all know autoupdating is too god damn slooow. Geti fixed this by making the patcher threaded. There’s still a bug that needs fixing but should be ready along with mod downloading (which is nearly done, just needs testing)
• Steam integration
  We are heading full force towards the biggest milestone - launching KAG on Steam. Existing players will be able to launch KAG from Steam and automatically login and bind their existing accounts. New Steam customers will be able to join the game in the same manner from Steam without the need of creating an account on kag2d.com
• Steam launchThis will happen next month.
• Zombies?We (main devs) aren’t directly creating this. I can say they are coming along. The sprites are already done by Geti and they look sweet. Zombies should come in some way or the other after the Steam launch.

Have fun!

I cannot wait to get KAG on Steam!

 

Me too. Also, ZAMBIES.

 

^Interestingly it's only the actual plebs that have this attitude.

 

*Free kills to stack kd

 

Now we need Brazilian servers.

 

no map editor :'(

but im super excited for the steam release!

 

my body is ready for the incomprehensible amount of awesome coming down the road ;3

 

SO being on Steam, is that just for more publicity? Does it add anything significant?

 

manymanymany people will join from steam. my highest estimate would be around 100,000 players maybe. not sure but its a great game and people love this kinda thing.

 

Dayyum! 100,000 players! The servers will be crowded!

 

a week from now or a week from release xD

 

They said next month so it could be 31st of October?

 

Once you launch on Steam is it still "King Arthur's Gold Beta"? If it is, will it be classified as Early Access on Steam?

 

it could be cup,however i think it may be in the middle of the month if anything.

 

Ohshet prepare your butthole

 

That's the first time I've seen "pleb" outside of moo. Huh.
The most exciting thing on that list is the mod downloader. With the added member count from steam, I'm expecting to see a lot of diversity in KAG servers and that's going to be super cool to see and play.
