    As overworld had already been planned and discussed alot, I don't suppose theres a chance your future game might include the elements of overworld and making a whole new game out of it?

    Or are you just planning to scrap the old ideas of overworld.

    Re: Disappointment, not delivering the goods etc - honestly, how many of you play KAG because it's "potentially fun later with an overworld and 100% more RPG elements and 200% slower gameplay"? I think most play because the game is fun as it stands, it lets you build fortresses, fight enemies, struggle for territory and do it all in under a 2 hours in a multiplayer setting. We simply want to improve on that side of things until its at a point where we can happily call it complete.

    As Ghozt or someone earlier stated, we'd love to do an overworld city building RPG thing later. Of course we're going to continue making games (this is what we do for a living, its how we pay the bills). However, honestly, I cant see KAG becoming that game, and I don't really want it to.

    Modding will be a constantly improved upon thing, and serverside mods are possible now, they just cant send art or sound assets to the client yet for security reasons. We're going to add some form of scripting interface to that to open up the possibilities 10fold. Please read around, I'm pretty sick of answering the same question 8 times in one week :/

    Also If you're legally allowed to answer, is this putting the game out and finishing it sooner than you planned before because of a new publisher?

    Maybe you should make a 3d game like kag with overworld
    with basicly the same concept with the classes and zombie fortress

    Just a note here, we're always going to "accept" suggestions, but honestly, about 99% of what gets posted there is not something I would consider putting into KAG anyway, even if we had the hours to burn (I'm looking at you, dynamic air pressure simulation). The remaining 1% usually make their way back to us and are quick to implement, because they are small, insightful changes that genuinely help improve the game.

    That's what I have been trying to get across to everyone, (And a few others) I have referred people to some of your posts from the prior dev-blog. Hopefully coming from you people will actually follow what you say.

    Hopefully people will actually go to the last dev-blog like you said in your last line, I have also been trying to answer the simpler questions, I think you should edit into your top line something like, "Read X thread before commenting, please!"
    That would answer a lot of pointless questions for you.

    It's still going to be an amazing game even without the overworld and all these other "discarded" plans....
    Great work KAG team. :thumbs_up:

    Few things;
    Evan, is there a need to make your text smaller? Some people are getting old, not staring at anyone like Geti or anything, but can't you just keep it the same?

    Amgtree, try and shorten your replies to something like '-snip-' it make things a lot easier to read, also it is hard to know what bugs you speak of, when you say 'bugs' we don't know which bugs you are talking about. From my experience bugs just put unfairness into games, they may be fun, but what do the other people think?
    Off-topic~ A friend showed me a (patched) bug in MW3 where you were invincible but you could shoot out, yes, it would be fun, but how would you like it if some-guy was invincible and you always died?

    Sleep well my baby, I shall be watching you. ;)

    Honestly, I think KAG is on the right path now.

    And the despair for not getting overworld, seriously what kind of world you live in? D:::

    I don't know if you are in despair over not getting Overworld or not, but you have a completely valid point referring to the team being on the right path.
    (Which I have been saying for yonks)

    I probably phrased it wrong, but I meant some of the people who complained in disappointment.
    Me, I'm just happy we're getting awesome stuff.:)

    I really like how you constantly keep us involved in the production of KAG it's really cool! :)
    Also after you've finished working on water, Fire and Siege weapons will you go on to work on Animals?
    Such as Bison, Chickens and lions etc

    Like on the test build the bug where kegs can fly very far
    </br>--- merged: Jun 2, 2012 1:57 PM ---</br>
    acts as a bomb droping and can really hurt sky bridges or water brideges without supports

  20. So, does this mean development in KAG will just end?

    That's a tad disappointing, but water and wood will be swell, so that's okay. :)
