Eyecandy build appreciation thread

Thanks to the devs and artists on this. Great work. I see a lot of complaints and some praise, but I really think it's turning out awesome.

I like the new artwork. I prefer to turn off the background though, for clarity.

The knight mechanics are really good to me, I've been getting more solid kills with that new "lunge" move on a charged slash, so that's a good addition to the knight. Oh, and the knight can now break ladders faster, and other blocks too.

As a builder, I don't seem to be re-supplying at tents or outposts.. not sure what's up with that. Usually you get 50+ wood every 10 secs, but not anymore?

Oh and there's some buggyness where i get thrown about the map in weird ways. Like if I get hit, I go flying in some random direction and get stuck in a wall and that sends me shooting up through it o_O

The fall damage will take some getting used to, but overall it's good. It means you can't go leaping off a tall hill or bridge without any consequence. But I think the default damage height should be made higher.

Anyways, thanks and keep it up :)

 

I love the shield bash. I think it could use some readability but otherwise I think it's an awesome addition. Especially fun when there are spikes or a cliff around, and it forms a nice Rock-Paper-Scissors with jab and charged slash.

I love lying down as an archer. It's hilarious to hide inside a corpse and I giggle like a small child when people walk past me or I jump out and ambush them.

I love the new artwork so much. I thought the old artwork was beautiful but the new is simply stunning.

I love Henry who is hilarious and useful.

 

Artist.

fixed that for ya.

Also, dev.

 

I love it when Henry get's a kill. He's so precious ;)

I've been playing with the new mechanics and artwork for two weeks now (test builds FTW), and I must say they are fucking awesome. I don't understand the whiners at all. New fighting mechanics for the knights made combat so awesome that there are 1 vs 1 arena servers now. People enjoy fighting so much that they want do only that. Think about it for a while before saying that "NEW COMBAT SUCKS IT'S TOO RANDOM".

New artwork is great. One of the best pixel art I've ever seen used in a game. Indie or commercial. And for those who don't like it you can change it yourself. It's easy.

One thing I don't like it's the amount of bugs that somehow got into this relase. But since the game is still alpha it is normal. I prefer a game that is buggy but has a dynamic developement to a stale, but stable one.

Also, please don't give admins the map editing rights. They are abusing them like crazy.

 

Quick question: I can't seem to figure out how the new shield bash works, can anyone give me the skinny? Also, the new background art does look pretty sweet but I have heard people complain about the lack of bright color and how it can be hard to see.

 

I love taking damage from falling six feet in the air.

 

I love causing damage by landing on people from falling three feet in the air.

 

I'm not a huge fan of the insanely bright sprites my eyes are photosensitive so it makes it a little hard to play for long periods of time (Like I could in the previous builds)
