This week's cool stuff

What kind of expectations/limitations can we expect with water?
Can we swim/only some classes can swim, i've heard bombs float, are we able to drowned/flood tunnels with it?

 

Wait and you shall find out.

 

There is nothing wrong with wanting a little more things to the game. there is so much the community would like to see but alas they apparently are running out of time :( if many of you are complaining about how the game isnt fixed yet how would adding another large part of the game help the developers fix current problems if youve been playing kag as long as me youve had alot of patience i think we can have just a little more :) its not like they arent listening to what we want!

 

It's one thing to use no punctuation. It's another to use smileys instead of punctuation.

 

See first post; "Things that we've been working on this week". Durr hurr?

 

How exactly does shield-bashing work?

 

A little bit Off-Topic here, but Notch never worked in the first place.
He was always Twitting about his daily vacations.

 

Actually, aren't the game graphics SNES-like already? I mean, the colors were already pretty damn rich on SNES, what the devs probably meant were NES graphics.
Because, actually, this looks nothing like retro for me:

 

Oh... I think that post is the most embarrassing I've made thus far in my KAG career... Durr hurr...

 

He's referring to the nowhere-to-be-found-in-10-seconds-of-google SNES mode, that as far I remember, would add scanlines to the game.

Yep. Scanlines. That's all. Maybe that could be achieved modifying the game shaders (replacing the smoothing with some scanlines), though I'm not sure.

 

Well said Geti. *clap clap*
Anyway, I love how you spelt my name. :p
I also laughed when you talked about the money.

I am also sorry about the disclosure thing, I actually never noticed, the game was so good I just clicked buy instantly. :)
Good to see you have your priorities straight, keep up the good work.

 

Sorry if we seem negative. Its just that it's sorta all of a sudden. Crow told me in the middle of a game, when seconds ago Overworlds seemed like a very important end-goal (what with the post about it and the fact it's on the "planned for the future" part of the finalized KAG page). Then suddenly it looks fairly grim. It's totally understandable, new games have to be made, but it still hurts. We're just a tad discouraged, thats all.

Also, if there's ever going to be an "Overworlds" game, we (gold users) get it for free? That's not necessary. KAG, even if it doesn't have Overworlds, is still a full game, that's worth its full price, and the "Overworlds" game will be its own full game, with its own full price. It's an extremely kind and noble gesture, but frankly, we are not entitled to the game for free, nor do we deserve it. "Overworlds" would be its own game that I'd happy throw money at my computer in order to have. If you make that game, it should definitely be worth the time in effort put into it price-wise, for everyone. Again, it's a really nice gesture, but really unfair to the devs.

Also, love the extreme hate for the Terraria devs, encouraging to see! :p

 

Let's put it this way; Soldat is still going strong. What makes you think KAG won't be 10 years down the road? If we get proper modding tools and such to increase the lifespan, we could keep this game going for a very, VERY long time.

 

Well, I'm Always waiting for new updates to come out. Last week it said this and its Been past 7 days The KAG Team Never tell you which day to expect stuff on (that i know of) I've only been at KAG for a Couple Months (2 Months or so), But i've been Loving it. Im also Getting KAG premium soon and also Im going to let people rent my server for a Day or something, For clan wars you know?

Well I am pretty happy that Shield Bashing is coming Back And wood is also Joining KAG but its still a long road ahead and Every step of the way We will be with KAG, Supporting it.

We only really want the Overworld when we can't have it.
Really, right now, all I want are those extra classes.

 

I think I sort of see how the individual classes will interact with water.

Knights, being the big heavy lugs that they are, would be ranked 'most likely to drown'. However, I read somewhere around page 3 or somewhere close about ramp blocks and instantly, I had the feeling that knights might slide down these ramps while riding their shields. One, it's a method for them to pick up speed for the purpose of surfing, an issue that what I already know, could only be solved with a catapult or a bomb, both of which seem asinine, since both can be used to cross a gap anyhow. (And arn't lakes in a sense a gap too?) This would also ramps another purpose, I sort of see it as a 'special' shield bash attack, as an attack for approaching enemies. I could see ramps working for shields even if they were spaced apart, which means one could also hop their way back up using the gap ledges. All of this of course only matters if any of these mechanics are on the design board.

Builders, I see builders as the gotta be everywhere sort of guy. I somehow see these guys with micro air tanks for that small extended period of time with which they can build. But then again, I currently have no idea how long each character can stay underwater, so this might even overcharge them a little bit.

Archers are the ninjas of the game. I can see these guys swiming with absolute ease, using water to it's fullest potential. They can climb trees for goodness sake. I don't see why they couldn't swim. I also see them swimming stealthly just beneath the surface of the water like alligators. I suppose that would work if the surface of the water was blurry, or had too much sunlight reflecting off of it.

Either way, these were simply just some thoughts that had happened to have popped up. It would be cool to see these things involved, but it's quite all right either way. This already is a great game.

Also, since the premium board doesn't specifically mention wooden structures, I'm guessing it's going to everyone.
