King Arthur's Gold - Where's the Gold?

[Bran34]

King Arthur's Gold, which shall henceforth be known as KAG, is a 2d platforming/building/capturetheflagging/PvP game.
If you've ever played Terraria, it is comparable to what you wanted Terraria's PVP to be.

Oh, and it's FREE!

TRAILER!


PHYSICS!
If you take out the blocks under a tower or castle, it WILL collapse (and kill things that the blocks fall onto!) this creates some interesting traps, such as stone drop traps.

There are three playable classes as of right now.

The Archer
-Uses a bow to shoot things.

The Knight
-Armed with a sword and shield
-Shield blocking is directional, and a power attack will break guard.

The Builder
-The Backbone of any team.
-Builds and mines, operates siege weapons.

SIEGE WEAPONS!

Currently, there is only one siege weapon, the catapult.

GAME MODES!

-Gold Hunt

You must mine (or steal) as much gold as you can for your team before the game ends. Team with the most gold wins!

-Capture the Flag

You must break through your enemy's constructions and capture their flag, or alternatively, kill them all!

-Team Deathmatch

Self-Explanatory. I mean really.

-Overworld/adventure (NOT EVEN DONE YET, WON'T BE FOR A WHILE)

Basically, it turns the game into an RPG.

The overworld will function as a sort of "world map" which people can create their own kingdoms and castles on. Permadeath does happen, but it'll be pretty difficult to die once you have something to lose. And you can always just make a new character. There are also undead temples, dungeons, and the like!

There is a purchasable version that has more content. It is worth the money for those of you wondering. We could set up a server and play on it.

[Zerovirus]

Huh. The graphics are far improved from back when I played it, like alpha 0.1.1 or whatever!

I need to give this another shot.

[Bran34]

Set up an MSPA server. DO IT MANG, DO IT!

Make sure you set the ping limit REALLY HIGH

"oh shit i'm getting banned for pings. IT KEEPS HAPPENING."

[sporb]

I remember this game, I played it when it first came out. What's so good about the purchasable version, because I dislike buying things.

[Bran34]

Well it has:

Day/night
Zombie Mode

All further planned features will be for purchased mode only.

Basically, it's like Kerbal space program in that it cut off the features once it got to a certain point, leaving the rest for payed people only.

You should take a look at his blog for all the AWESOME stuff that's going to be in once the game is done.

And also, how it's only going to be $10 for the next couple weeks until zombie mode multiplayer is released, then the price increases to 12.50 I believe.

MAN JUST PLAYED THIS TWO SOLID HOURS.

It's pretty dang great! There's a lot of nuance to the simple gameplay, and honestly it's just a ton of fun, especially if you can get yourself into a big room with some half decent builders.

I managed to tunnel all the way with 3 builders and a knight once. It was pretty much the coolest thing.

But yeah! Play this, it's loads of fun. I very well may buy after a week or two, if possible.

[Stij]

I bought the paid version a while ago and then college happened. Been meaning to pick it back up again for a long time. Really fun game.

[Toast]

I am honestly terrible at this game. I can't build well and I kill stuff at a two deaths for one kill ratio. Does anybody wish to share their infinite knowledge of this game with me?

[Doom Zero]

Man, I am totally here for this.

I just started playing the game yesterday. I am just such a pro at every character.
Except builder. I usually don't like playing as a builder at the start of a game.

My general strategy is this:
Pre-game, I start as builder and help people expand whatever they are currently working on, while taking generally no initiative myself.
When the game starts, I switch to Warrior and kill people for a while, until I have enough gold to purchase a good supply of arrows.
Then, I generally alternate between Warrior and Archer depending on which one suits me at the time. Usually I play archer when there are no archers on the other team that are better than me. That's sort of a sad fact.

I also hate the people who don't use default sprites, because it generally makes me confused with who is builder and who is warrior. When I'm an archer, that ends up being the death of me a lot.

[Bran34]

I'm sort of suprised nobody has complained about the ping-banning system yet. Probably because everyone has better internet than me.

Oh, yeah, no man I agree.
I get that a lot too.
Ping-banning is the WORST. It's just that there's not very much to say about that besides, well, that it sucks.

[Dentrala]

It's pretty annoying. I've been in a few rooms with admins who were trying out experimental maps and HOPY SHIT some of the scenarios (ie: four huge floating islands) are unbelievable. It really calls for whole new calibers of strategy.

[Bran34]

I'm suprised that as many of us play this do and nobody made it a thread...

We need a server and official HS group or something.
Of course, this server would need to have the highest pingban threshhold possible...

[Dentrala]

Do groups require actually buying the game? I'm pretty well planning on it but I do want to play a bunch first before I decide if it's worth it.

[Rinoka]

I love this game obscenely, and have bought it. I can host a server if you guys need! I've done it before.
If anyone cares,
[snip snip it's over]

[Dentrala]

I told you bro.
I told you about that 6 year old smartaleck.


I'm down for playing more often, and I'm glad we got to meet up and play

[Rinoka]

Alright! The smartaleck and the other dude left. :P It's.. relatively fair now?

And I'll leave the server up for the mo!

Server's up for the moment and I'll leave it up as long as I can.

Sign.

We need to schedule a meetup or something where we all play and make stairs and then fall down them over and over.

If only the game were more popular, then we might be able to actually have enough people to have games going all the time. That would be so cool.

I agree.

[Doom Zero]

I guess I'm gonna bump this topic now.

Yesterday, I was playing KAG and I found a server called "Kegs, laterns and free ctf", which actually allowed free players to use supposedly premium items such as mini-nukes and boulder bombs. It was really exciting and so very awesome. If we find somebody who can host a server, let's see if there's some way to enable that stuff.

[Toast]

I think that is illegal.

[Bran34]

*SHAMELESS BUMP*

It probably is, yeah. That server is probably gone now. Besides, this game is well worth the GOLD.
