Hey MM, any news on Kag's next engine?

I'm making a reference to this: http://kagdev.tumblr.com/post/11023615550/a-new-engine

I'm just wondering if there is any updates regarding the new engine & how is development coming along

 

Well, I wouldn't worry about it much. Just play the current game, enjoy, and etc. Later on, the new engine will be released, and if you don't anticipate it a lot it will be like WHOA WTF IS THIS?? THIS IS AWESOME Basically, like an early christmas!

 

From the info in that article, I'm guessing the new engine work will start once the feature freeze does.
They could slowly be working on it in the background, but if I remember correctly that article says something along the lines of 'were going to get this [current version of KAG] to a stopping point then rewrite it from the ground up.'

 

Yay. I'm glad I'm wrong about that then.

 

No more teleportation + halve the bandwidth usage = better update then all of the updates I've witnessed combined.
Can't wait.

 

My four least favorite glitches with this engine are:
Perma-prone state warrior man.
This guy is laying down dead, but yet still jumping around like an asshole and attacking you, but you can't beat him in a fight because you don't know whether he's shielding or blocking or... ANYTHING! I saw this glitch twice today, and I'm wondering if it's even a glitch, or a hack.

Screw jump your face asshole man.
Unlike the vaulting ability or the bomb jumps, there is no explanation for this. I was on top of a 12 block tower today and a knight just mega jumped upwards and lopped my head off in a single second. No bombs, no explanations, just an asshole mega jump.

Sky high knight club.
These assholes somehow float across the top of the screen using some magical fairy dust, then drop down on your head and stab you simultaneously and murder you in one hit. Also, they usually end up in your base. While being a rare glitch, it really pisses me off because apparently it's exploitable and some people know how to pull it off really well.

Sword of infinity glitch.
I was launched by a catapult earlier, I landed on top of an enemy tower, completely safe. I didn't even take a heart of damage! The only person in sight was a lone knight at the base of the tower, who then proceeded to slash and kill me on one hit. He was at least 20 blocks away. :| To whoever that guy was, fuck you.

If the new engine fixes these glitches/exploitables, thank you.

 

The flying thing is fairly well-known and is generally considered ban-worthy. I don't know anything about the magical fairy dust though.

 

Freeze and kick worthy, we're not mean enough to ban you for it...

 

I got kicked and temp banned for that once. Thing is, I wasn't even intentionally doing it. I was supposed to parachute jump off a tower when a knight approached me and did the same. We glitched like that, and a couple seconds later I was like "WTF?", and jumped to my doom.

 

Sucks :( I at the very least, wouldn't kick or ban you for it.
