Its really great to see an update!
Long time, no see! :)
Knife catching is ace! I haven't played OG since half a year, but I'll download the new build and play around with the editor some more.
It still looks like you can die too easily though. I like fights with more than one enemy, but chances you're getting your neck snapped are too high. Well, maybe not anymore. Off to testing the new build :)
It's incredible to see how much this is shaping up. I look forward to every new update, just to see what cool new thing you guys have done!
I love your guys updates and how you keep us informed over how it goes with the game. I don't regreat a singel bit that I purshased this about a year or two ago :D
Excellent upgrade, nice and interesting point with the arena and nice addition for the knife combats. I was wondered if can add the public inside the walls.
And... well I was thinking in if... I was wondered if the team can add the old form of "finish" the fainted rabbits from Lugaru using the knifes or swords, it was creepy, but nice, epic in few words, should be nice take this idea, the engine can support something very interesting. :3
Knife pong at the end ^_^
