    Exactly one year ago on a sunny April afternoon I took what I call the Crimson Engine. Something that I have been developing for the last 4 years. I scratched the game code I have been mainly working on (Link-Dead) and a prototype I made in 3 days and officially started work on something that I called King Arthur’s Gold.​
    It was a direct twist on the name King Arthur’s World, a SNES 2D RTS game. I found that game one day when I typed “2D Side-Scrolling RTS” in Google. I can admit that I never actually played the game. I only saw videos and wondered about its design. Just watching, I knew it was brilliant.​
    The idea for “KAG” was really simple - design the game as an RTS but make a Player vs Player game out of it (because these are my roots). KAW had excellent design of classes and a map that needs cooperation to conquer. I wanted to have that but in a massive multiplayer game where people play as a single unit with dozens of other players. Knights flood the terrain and conquer by force, archers darken the sky with thousands of arrows and builders see the big picture - strategize like in an RTS game, but have to do the work instead of point-click. That’s King Arthur’s Gold - one year later. Personally my current favorite game ever.​
    Happy Birthday and Thank You everybody that makes this possible.​

    Yes, King Arthur's World was brilliant, one of the best game on the Super Nes. And your game is even more fun :D

    Thank to you for making KAG !

    So its really been a year since the game started. It seems like such a short time ago whenever I first played the game at the end of April last year. The game has came a long way since then. Happy Birthday KAG!

    I propose you modify Greg sprite to a red biplane, zombies into psychotic lunatics and players into high-tech supersoldiers to celebrate this.

    I am a bit sad that I haven't been here from the very beginning, to get the chance to see the game from its infancy to where it stands today.

    As for now I can only continue showing support as we go forth in the development. Especially seeing this is currently the only game I am playing actively right now, it fits me perfectly, and in more than just one way.

    I love the developers and the community of this game and I am very much looking forward to the future, what will KAG be in about one year? That is something time will tell.

    Happy birthday!
