I actually spent a week in the field (the field near my house) throwing rocks at other peoples fences... These fences sadly were not ravaged by 10 years of churning earth, but close enough. I tried gravel which had no effect, and eventually moved up to shot-put style. Before I knew it, the mans fence was largely decimated and his cows set free. I couldn't throw rocks that were much bigger than that, but when I dropped them onto the fallen/broken fence I had great fun and good results... after i got out of jail for vandalism I managed to simulate most of my findings in the game. Please keep in mind My fence breaker simulation is still early and needs some work.

December is my goal

Thanks so much! It'll only get better as it develops ;D

ehh, not so much... no 1950s, no system heavy aim-assisting or anything like that. and not so open world, and a little more linear story.

Whoa, 28 away from the top 100, that's blowing my mind!

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Too kind! glad to hear! I'll keep workin my butt off on it and making sure you find it appealing.

thanks for the kind words.

Thank you so much, Are you interested in Alpha Testing?

I may, Do you have a portfolio?

Hey, 25 is really much more than just playtesting, but also giving input on the direction of the game... I went into this project with a lot less vision for it than I have now, But I am willing to give over a level of control to those keen on supporting the games development.

I was crunching the numbers, And it comes down to contract work or doing this... And if I am going to put a few more months into this game, it needs to cover my bills or i will be homeless and be worth giving up contract work on some level, so worth atleast a quarter of what I would make in one month doing my regular freelance work, 100 x 25 = 2500 dollars and makes the time organizing the test, the comments, the suggestions, the documentation and bug fixing etc worth while, realistically at that rate I will still need to be working part time, or depending on the response, accept more than 100 input/testers.

I may adjust the numbers to more testers and less of a price point, if this is a sore spot, But I also do not want to give away control to just anybody... 25 dollars seems minimal to have a level of control over something i have poured my heart and soul into. We shall see! I am open to suggestions, please do offer advice on this matter.

Im not worried, since this is just the name of one of our stories, the game is called Knights, the mission is called "spiral islands", the next one we work on will be hummingbell station, and the next one might be something equally random. you are the second person to mention that to me, and i have spotted spiral knights a few times in my searches a few times, but conceptually there are no similarities, and name wise it just shares two of the same words in a different order and meaning. Thanks for the tip tho, I may email the developers to see if its bothered them or anything.

Fair Enough, This past week has been un-productive in an external sense since the GDC and Contract work is occupying the time of everyone on the team, We are just excited, and honestly, more than a pre-order or two, we just want a few more people to see knights, and hopefully get excited about it. gaining a few fans at this point is the most important thing.

the real news you want is boring, its a lot of "so our team is getting better organized and expanding. Also documentation has progressed and visual designs are progressing well" like, typical stuff, I was just amused by the video and hoped it'd catch the eye of a few people who haven't heard of knights.

hey, thanks for the compliment about Knights! glad you think its the best looking UDK game out there, this is early so lets hope we can keep it up eh? There are some other projects out there that blow me away, so we have to step it up :)

thanks for the comment dude, hope you enjoy the progress to come.

Thanks man! glad to hear it! :) If you REALLY want to play the game, then Help fund it! you can go to our kickstarter page to do that.
Kickstarter.com

We have lots of random cool things to give you if you pledge :)

Damn, i ment to + your comment and accidently clicked -! sorry dude! :O

John, the latest member of the Knights team really helped pull this whole scene off, without him, it'd just be a bunch of random art assets that don't do anything and don't look that great together.

Tracking this, I'm excited to see where this goes.

This is so good, you guys are absolutely briliant with your environments, wow, iv never seen such pleasing environments to my eye.

I'm damn near speachless!

fantastic, i love it, absolutely perfect, im quite impressed! and that's rare.
