This is an android/ios game that (strangely/hilariously enough) reminds me of a mix between King's Field and Serious Sam.
I've had quite a bit of fun playing this already.

At its foundation, its a "protect the castle" game with a generous portion of the strategy elements replaced with Action RPG elements.

I came across this trailer for Goat simulator. If I had been drinking milk, it would have come out my nose...

Does anyone remember the trailer for Dead Island (I'm a big Mairi Campbell ‎  fan and she did the music for it).

These are some test images I made up with the help of Verdite for a Horror-RPG I plan on developing. The first image's foggy ambiance was inspired by Silent Hill, and the second image shows how light can reflect off enemy models in a dark cave. One of the problems I had in Return to Melanat was the visibility of map tile seams due to the lack of lighting effects, and I think this does a good job at hiding that. So what do you all think, would you like to see a horror game like this made with the Sword of Moonlight tool?

The question I'd like to ask in this post is simple - What would you like to see in a new King's Field sequel?

Should it go back to the original trilogy, expand on The Ancient City, or create an entirely new universe?

What would the setting be like, and what types of areas would you be willing to explore in this setting?

Lastly, how much content, in general, should a game like King's Field V have?

Maybe I should call it a clone lol, but my programmer and I have dabbled in sorting a Gauntlet Legends style game the last couple days - here is 2 days worth of effort or so:

Note my dynamic lights aren't working for some reason when I run Fraps, its odd - I think it might be framerate driven (auto adjusts quality on low framerate detection).

Anyhow, if we get interest, this game may appear on Steam and possibly mobile format in the future!

This is a bug that I noticed when testing Return to Melanat. Apparently, leaving too many gold pieces on the ground will eventually crash a Sword of Moonlight game, I believe the amount is around 100. Is there any way to fix this?

So it was brought to my attention that a former affiliate with som.com had posted on patreon.com to get some patrons to continue work on SoM related activities as a hobby - as we all know, making games costs a great deal of personal time, time that could be spent on a paying job and so on. ‎  After reading into it, I think its a great website with a great idea...and was wondering if anyone has or is thinking about posting a patreon page to help them fund their work. ‎  I actually think I may.

Anyhow if anyone is on there and is looking for support, please post here!

Hello folks

I would like a few opinions on what I am debating over, and this will affect how my game turns out. Yes, all 25 base levels will be either changed or kept as they are depending on how I go about this.

So, after putting it off for a long while and reading up on map transitions in SoM, I decided to do a test to see the transition from a light to dark area. It doesnt work well at all by using the least 'scene' like approach, having no black on /off or white on/off.

There will be no warping through objects or items in my game, as I want the player to get the sense of adventure and playability... So it means I need to either get the lighting standardised across the whole board for my levels, or simply break the immersion feeling that I have tried very hard to preserve.

The problem is that I have outdoor and indoor areas. If I were to standardise the lighting universally, it would probably be based around the indoor, darker areas meaning outdoor sections would suffer in terms of visibility.

Ok guys, I have a moral question for you... Martin, our old friend (DarchAngelX on the boards) apparently does not respond to emails anymore as I have tried to reach him for months about the condition of his website. ‎  kings-field.neocities.org has been hacked...for months and is now a dangerous website with phishing ads etc all over the place on it...this is no fitting way to host one of my favorite sites on the web.

So my question is...I was contemplating recreating all the pages on som.com/kings-field sub links on this domain. ‎  It wouldnt be that hard, copying his html, grabbing all the images (while they are still available) and updating the urls wouldn't take me more than a few days effort. The question is, is that bad form, would people mind?

Obviously if you want to harm your computer you could still go to kings-field.neocities.org and browse there, but I would think people would prefer an ad free experience. ‎  I do my best to keep this domain safe to users and will never stick ads or anything stupid like that on it.

If you guys are behind me, I will recreate the pages here in a safe environment - or I could update the content to conform to the pages of the main site...its really up to the fans of the series how it should be done. ‎  But I definitely want to save this holy grail of information before it disappears forever.

Let me know what you think please!
