    I don't know, but from the looks of that screenshot you can probably slaughter it.

    I see my plea for a bull rather than bison has fallen on deaf ears.

    What a shame.

    Hmm. For some reason, the game overrided my Texture Pack. I don't see any changes at all.

    WTF

    It updates automatically and replaces your textures the first time you run the game.

    @Neat: Conventional cattle coming later. We've got to get our priorities straight ;)

    I've still got quite a bit of work to do as only 40% of the HUD has been pixelled, however I'm quite happy with progress at this stage :) Hopefully I can get Michal to rework some of the collapse code before release.

    New build ~End of this week, unless we hit some unforseen snag.

    those new trees look sweet.
    also im excited about the new animations for cutting down trees.
    next step to improve the graphic stuff:

    Menu
    GUI
    btw. what about resolutions in kag, i beleive it can be modified in some .ini. does it affect the look much or anything planned here?

    In my eyes the game doesn't need resolutions the game runs brilliantly in a small window so why any bigger?

    @DarDar: HUD is similar to GUI but they're different.
    A GUI is just any graphical interface, whereas a HUD is specifically an interface designed to let you keep doing what you're doing while displaying relevant information (Thus the "head's up").

    To be clear, I'm working on the HUD at the moment. I'll work on the front menu soon.

    Re: Resolutions - you can change it now but it scales the entire surface. We'll have to find some way around it.

    changing resolution breaks some sprites. It's bearable, but looks completely retarded on high resolutions

    I feel like I don't get the joke or something but is there REALLY going to be a bison?

    It can't be a bison... It has to be a ?ubr! :)

    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisent)

    Nebuchadnezzar: it was just a joke here but eventually players commented that it'd be awesome to have a teasable bison ?ubr in-game :)

    The wisent never lived in england. The game is set in medieval england. This is why I was pushing for a bull rather than a bison. Seems bison has just got so much popularity that it becomes the main animal.

    Doesn't have to only be England, Neat, nor do we have to use the real history record as canon. Ordinary cattle will happen and will probably end up being more common at some point so the wisent is an easter egg for oldfags. For now, we may as well facilitate 'ram bison' and associated jokes.

    Rainbows sort of, but about half that size and scaled up to fit the x2 pixel look of standard zoom KAG.
