    This thread is about a person who has played kag since totalbiscuit did his "WTF is King arthurs gold". I have wondered what the general happening of this game have been and i have put in a few questions for people that use the forums and follow the game. I will probly think of more question and add them in later

    1.why did TB not continue videos of this game? you would think since it was released on steam it would have grabbed his attention and he would have made a follow up video. All i know is somewhere somone said the dev of kag complained to TB that the video didnt show KAG fairly or somthing along those lines.

    2. will this game be balanced and if it is not why? (I dont know anything about coding or whatever i have no clue how game engines work)

    3. What happened to the guy who did the comics for this game?

    1. MM (one of the other developers) said TB looked like an idiot playing it, and TB responded angrily and saw it as a lack of gratitude for him making videos. Can't blame him, but you'd think he'd be used to being called an idiot by now. He hasn't covered the game since.

    2. The game is by definition "balanced" as both teams have exactly the same tech, resources, etc available to them. The individual classes and roles that they play are more or less constantly tweaked and adjusted as you can see from the development logs.

    3. xiaojin67 has moved onto other things. She's working on various animation and comic projects and you can see her work over on twitter, though she's been quiet there since May iirc.

    Addendum: blaming me is a forum pastime.

    Did MM ever apologize for it? kinda makes me angry cause that was free advertisement from TB and the game could be bigger if he didnt piss him off.

    Well... he is a biscuit, and a total one at that. Biscuits are supposed to be buttery and yummery, not being good at KAG :B):

    Sorry to jump in but in my opinion I think it's the intention that one should be judged by, not his/her actions/skill. If someone liked you and gave you, say, a hand-made card, but the artwork was horrible, you shouldn't judge them by that. You should judge them by the intention behind the making of the card. In that respect I hope TB was apologized to : /

    Re: "was he apologised to" I can tell you guys have never met MM, haha.

    No, he wasn't, at least not by Michal; I tried to follow it up on twitter but he basically responded with "fuck you". While I'm frustrated with the outcome, I also don't think we should have to grovel at the feet of any big name who makes a video; while it's nice and all it honestly kinda loses its flavour when the response to some relatively harmless poking is indignant entitled outrage. I definitely understand TB's reaction, but I don't think we owe him much, and in all fairness he did have a hard time with it, and said so himself. The whole experience was pretty sour.

    Thank you Geti,

    Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice to save a game. :/

    This was like 1 year after release, in middle classic days. I think if the video had come now he wouldn't have even seen it or posted haha.

    Why Geti is always such a cool guy and MM is always portrayed as some kind of rebel punk dev? Gives me the image that Geti is a sweet mom caring for her family and MM is an alcoholic and violent husband; always the menace of violence in front of the children. I'm just guessing tho

    @Psiklaw Michal's soured by years of dealing with soldat fans ;) More honestly though, he's just got much less of an active filter between what he thinks and what he says - as a few have hinted here, while it wasn't clever to call TB an idiot, it was simply what he thought from looking at the video. I think part of it is just polish culture of being honest over being polite, but some of it is his personality too. I'll pass on the comparison though haha.

    I've tried to take a more diplomatic approach over the years, but it could also be that I just haven't had as long in this business as him to go sour, haha.

    Hey, now @Arcrave can actually say "I fucked ur mum" and he's telling the truth!
    yeah, I know it didn't happen, but I'm still shipping it

    On topic, I thought you guys now have Trainchaser for a reason, so MM doesn't scare off any potential Youtube-ers (Since MM is definitely not a "people person")
