Req thought we might at least be in beta right now, so I'm just curious how the progress goes on WOK? I haven't heard anything since that last post early this year.

he has an artist finishing the new units right now. and i think i saw a post from Crazy Li that said she had seen the WoK forums and liked them so... (shrug) i dont know

He IS making progress, but of course it is slower than anticipated. He has made far better forums for WOK, since he was learning how to set write software to make them for a recent job, he really has it under control.

The art for the new troops is pretty much ready to go, mapmaking is coming along as well. He does need the art for a lot of buildings and is negotiating for that.

He has been making decisions about gameplay, that needs to be far advanced before he begins coding. Stop in at IRC when he is there, ask to see some troops and maps...

No, I didn't really believe him, but I'm trying to be nice here. I've been hearing about WOK since I first joined up :p

I had seen some of the art earlier, he had those premade "sets" of units that he was planning on using, or did he go and get custom artwork? I know there were forum discussions of gameplay mechanics a while ago, but not seeing anymore I figured it was already worked out.

Is there an estimation of how long the coding would take? It seems like coding on a game like this would take a while, and if that's the case are we realisticly looking at 1.5 to 2 years?

Well let's put it this way... I've been hearing about WoK since i joined up.

WoK? whats that?

it's a round sided cooking utensil, used for stir-frying food in chinese cookery.

we use it in cooking korean dishes too

I use it for English, Thai, Indonesian and Chinese.

I'm hoping to put out MY new game, War of Knaves (WoK) real soon now, it should be ready for testing any day now. It will be a browser based game incorporating much of my former game, Waroncurve.nut.

The idea will be to figure out what the rules are by yourself while I change them on a day to day basis without any warning or notice. Dear lord, the fun we're gonna have! There might be any number of features in the game, including conflict resolution through group therapy, village economics and thumb wrestling matches galore! Or not. We'll see when we get there!

You see, it isn't the arriving that is the most fun, it is the leaving again. I meant to say, getting there is 1/3 the fun, the rest is when you get tanned. Or baked. Whatever suits your fancy.

Oh, just you wait, this game will be even better than that old classic "Grab your arse with both hands" or even "Pin the blame on the vj121"! You'll be BEGGING me to let you pay me large sums of money merely to play it. I will accept.

Forget that Requiem guy, he is squaresville cubed. War of Knaves will x^x___ROXXORZ___x^x or something.

LMFAO!!
