    I’m generally not a fan of tutorials but since we’re pressed on time and we don’t have better options I decided to add a very simple, no bs. tutorial where you can learn the very basics of KAG. I hope this will make new players have a smoother experience from the start.

    Be sure to help new players online! Let them see we have an awesome community :).

    Also, the charge cursor for archer is back! I felt we really need it, especially since I can’t fix the charging sound bug yet.

    Tutorials are available in the Solo menu.

    Glad to see charge cursor back. I am playing without sound or loudly listening to music sometimes so mostly I had to focus when the full charge light appear instead of aiming. Good job!

    smooth, we're really enjoying every update lately, not as the first Beta builds :D

    Edit:
    Got some problems with laying blocks again, they were solved at last build, but now it seems similar. Can't place a few spikes holding rmb, the selection -a white square- remains at the first block layed, so you've got to reselect the block type again; blocks get disselected too sometimes

    Was playing through the tutorial and found this:

    Didn't feel it deserved it's own thread. I dunno. I just felt that we should look somewhat professional for the Steam crowd.

    Really good tutorial, it does the job. Although one thing I noticed is how close the 'D' on the keyboard prompt looks like an 'O'. I'd add a couple pixels in the corners to round it out.

    As a side note, I might also change 'bowl' to 'basket' in the catapult help-text. (Although I'm not sure of the proper term for that thing)

    Did a quick check. All of the sites say it's called a basket. Was thinking about that was well.

    Inferdy: for some consolation, it isn't "bugged" like in your video on my end (ignore the bugged colours, bad gif recording :) )

    Fixed the font in the key buttons and whatnot earlier today, will be doing some more tweaks before getting back to the steam promo images.

    This definitely needs to be changed. You may be able to afford this in pre-release when the community is tightly knit and inside jokes are flying about, but for release this shit needs to stop.

    I really don't think that's a joke, Fate. Just a typo. Not to be harsh, but maybe check your militant feminist agenda? I think you left the safety off. >_>

    I wouldn't attach the word feminist to it, but militant perhaps :^) It's a simple typo, already fixed http://grab.by/qZN4

    I think its actually related to older graphics card, I've fixed something that might be the issue - will double check dev build to make sure it hasn't been "double fixed" ie broken.

    Yer I don't see what's feminist about his quote, unless he's fighting to abolish the gender roles of buildings.

    I think it was in reference to "he" being circled and the explosively angry reaction but the link is still pretty tenuous :^)
