    Very recently announced, and looks like it has a LOT of potential! You heard it here first!

    The 'phantom block' feature is something i've tried to describe for KAG bots before, and looks awesome in action!

    Holy shit, thank you. I love finding gems like this and I will be following this game henceforth. Devs seem really cool too.

    Thanks for the pro tip, Salami

  4. Nice game, but I'm a little bit fed up with block games.

    This one looks a little less focused on block gaming, but it uses it for building (obviously much simpler that way and castles are, in fact, made out of stacking stone blocks)
    That's why the ground isn't just blocks and squares and actually looks nice.

    If this turns into some sort of sandbox game that is even the slightest reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress but with those grahpics. Well, then I know for a fact that I will buy this game.

    I can imagine building bridges between islands, sending troops between my castles in order to defend them against ravaging hoards of monsters. Imagine that you have been playing for a while, you have a couple of nice forts and a steady army for defensive purposes. All a sudden some sort of random invasion starts that destroys more or less everything you have built.

    You are just able to survive by destroying a bridge connecting some of your islands, leaving everyone behind. Much later in the game you are once again ready for expansion. You return to the old floating island and find all these ruins that remains, proof over the hopless fighting that went on.

    This is of course just me daydreaming. Maybe you wont even be able to connect the floating islands with each other.

    Check the video, that second castle is connected by a bridge towards the end.

    Ah, I missed that. Didn't see that castle was on two different islands. Awesome.

    That and legos. I'm almost certain that is the base of our generations obsession with this style of gameplay lol

    Man I was JUST about to make a thread for this game. In fact that's the only reason I came to this forum :/ Oh well... this game is just like a game I was hoping would come along.

    Imagine this game in a massive free for all multiplayer game. People making alliances with each other, building forts, backstabbing. Could very much be what I've always wanted from a game. I am pretty good at getting hyped.

    He said something about defending the castle, but never said anything later on. I'm confused but that would be cool to defend it.

    Oh, I am just daydreaming here. Nothing else. I think that the possibilities with a game like this are numerous, essentially it makes my head aching.

    Essentially a 3D KAG with RTS elements. Has potential.

    If castles are a ripoff then KAG is a Stronghold ripoff.And manipulating terain is before minecraft.
    So with what you say every game is a ripoff of the first game to use that one thing.
