Knights Province – Alpha 11

Es priecājos paziņot, ka Knights Province Alpha 11 šodien tiek izlaista un ir pieejama lejupielādei no spēļu vietnes - knightsprovince.com

Tur arī sīkāk aprakstītas jaunas funkcijas. Īsāk sakot: apkalpi torņi, uzbūvējami žogi, īsta kara migla, misijas rekordi, preču atgriešana pēc mājas nojaukšanas, jauni mūzikas un grafikas līdzekļi un daudz kas cits!

Knights Tavern jaunumi

Knights Province Alpha 11 drīzumā būs gatavs, un ir pienācis laiks runāt par vēl vienu unikālu funkciju, kas tai būs: Knights Tavern!
[Tavernas aina, 1658, Deivids Teniers II]
Knights Tavern (saīsināti KT) ir kontu servera koda nosaukums, ko esam izstrādājuši kopš 2019. gada. Konti bija viena no biežāk pieprasītajām funkcijām KaM pārtaisīšanā, taču mums nekad nebija pieredzes vai drosmes, lai to ieviestu (labi, daudziem iemesli). Tika veikti mēģinājumi KP, taču tas neizdevās vēl nesen, kad pienāca laimīgā iespēja (raksta veidā (https://habr.com/ru/post/491272/) un kodu repozitoriju (https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusEngineExamples)). Now, knowing that the backend server can be developed in the same language as the game, KT is finally taking its chance to come true. Neat thing about KT, is that it can be used for both KaM Remake and Knights Province. Both games are very much alike in terms of accounts info they provide and can benefit from. So we can safely build KT in such a way that it allows for a single account for both Knights Province and KaM Remake. Register once and play twice. KP is our testground for the KT. Once it is sufficiently tested, KaM Remake can be upgraded and start using it too. You can help with KT playtesting right now, but more on that later. Basic auth functionality is mostly covered: KT has player accounts that can be registered, activated, logged in to and logged out of, forgotten passwords can be reset. For a proof of concept, KT can report how many player accounts it has and how many players were active within the last hour. The first useful feature in KT are mission highscores. If a single-player mission was prepared by the mapmaker in a specific way (2 lines of script, one dynamic and one static), the game can submit the mission’s winning score to KT and later on show the player his ranking in that mission.

Word of caution, KT is still in beta and might have bugs in all different areas. We hope to iron them out over time. That’s why we start testing with simple functionality, so flaws in the authentication (which there must be) can be fixed. So, since there might be bugs and weak spots, do not use your everyday life passwords for KT. KT future allows for many interesting things:
  • Draugi, tÅ«lÄ«tÄ“ja ziņojumapmaiņa, vestibila ielÅ«gumi, klani utt
  • SpÄ“lÄ“tāju reitingi un reputācija, ELO punktu skaits utt.
KT mums izvirza jaunus izaicinājumus:
  • Tas ir jākodÄ“ asinhroni, lai datu pieprasÄ«jumi nepalÄ“ninātu vai neiesaldÄ“tu spÄ“li.
  • SpÄ“lÄ“tāja dati ir jānodod un jāuzglabā droÅ¡i (mÄ“s jau izmantojam sāļus un jaucÄ“jus)
  • Mums bÅ«s jāsaglabā spÄ“lÄ“tāju dati par jauninājumiem un starp spēļu versijām
Best of all – you can already try out KT and help us improve it! See the latest KP wip builds (available on Discord https://discord.gg/cEwJFSY). LÅ«dzu, ziņojiet par jebkādām kļūdām vai trÅ«kumiem. Esam atvÄ“rti arÄ« ieteikumiem par KT funkcionalitāti. Tas var virzÄ«t to daudzos virzienos, un vislabāk bÅ«tu izvÄ“lÄ“ties tos, kas ir vairāk pieprasÄ«ti.

Bruņinieku provinces paziņojums

So this is it – the big announcement of the secret project.

kp_logo_2

We discussed what kind of new game we could make, development, style, balance, new ideas. Ever since I was busy prototyping (remember those April Fools 3D renders), programming new 3D terrain and rendering engines, planning unit rigging and animations, 3D modelling, drawing sketches. I’ve had to hire freelance people to help with it too.

Šeit tas ir visā savā pašreizējā krāšņumā:

Official Knights Province devblog is now located at: https://www.knightsprovince.com/
It was private for the past year, visible to only a few people. Now it’s public! You will find plenty of info about the project there, that I was posting during past year and a half. Check out the Media to see screens and artwork.

Alfa versijas ir pieejamas lejupielādei un atskaņošanai!

Preempting questions about KaM Remake’s fate – Knights Province has been in progress for the past 1,5 years, co-existing with KaM Remake development side-by-side. Some of the changes went from KMR to KP, some in other direction. Knowing that, that should give you good sense of how further KaM Remake development is going to co-exist with Knights Province.

Turpinājums 1. aprīļa ierakstā

Šovakar ir 2. aprīlis, un dažas lietas ir jāpaskaidro.

Pirmkārt – mēs abi (es un Levins) vēlamies pateikties jums visiem par atsauksmēm. Mēs esam ieguldījuši daudz pūļu, lai izveidotu KaM Remake, un ir patiešām patīkami redzēt kopienas izaugsmi un atbalstu. Projekts nekad nebūtu tik attīstīts bez apkārtējās kopienas. Mums ļoti daudz nozīmē jūsu atbalsts mūsu darbā.

As many of you have figured out, 1st Aprils post was a joke. We are not bored with 2D pixely graphics and KaM animations. We don’t drink pixely wine and like the recruits just the way they are, without additional facial hair. The images in the post were crafted in Lightwave 3D (3D Max alternative) in a couple of evenings.

However …

Nākotnes plāni

You know how it goes with hobbies over time, they change. This Remake project has been our hobby for a long time, but as all things change in this world, so does it too… Last release (r6720) was very exhausting. Me and Lewin are still on a vacation from serious KaM Remake coding.

What I’m about to say has been nagging us for a long time. AÂ few months ago we realized, that we got so very bored by pixelated 2D graphics, jittery animations and endless stream of bugfixing (and never-ending fountain of ideas to add new houses and units we could not add) that we have decided to put this to an end.

Some of you might not like it, but those who are strong by heart should proceed:
