It's weird you'd think they'd want to keep the fans excited rather than ignore us? :(

Daniel.

I can only hope that the lack of posted info means everyone is hard at work churning out a kick-a$$ game!! :grin:
I keep checking both Amazon US(where I live), and Amazon UK(where I got AP & Crossworlds)since they seem to get 1C's games before the US.
I'm talking about the boxed version, not download.

Release Date
 

The website now has a release date of Autumn.

FFS !!!
It would be nice to have some nice news form time to time, instead only delaying release date with no explanation why. I`m sure players would like to see this game before apocalypse :-(

In time for Christmas, pretty much what I was expecting anyway. Sure a Q2 release would've been great, and I would have been amazed had that been the case. Not a problem, I've got Diablo 3 to keep me busy until then!

yeah, me too. And I would much rather have an excellent game than a rushed-out decent game.

Yeah I 100% rather want a great game then a buggy one. Only thing that annoys me is the lack of information to keep the fans updated :-D. It's as if you're waiting for Christmas, but nobody tells you that it is postponed half a year.


I'm playing diablo 3 as well, but I find it boring in the long run. I can't do more then 30 minutes at a time. It's just a standard mouse clicking, hack and slash, game

Heh I doubt it'll be bug free on release if the other games are anything to go by.

Ah well plenty to play in the mean time. I want to replay Armored Princess/Crossworlds at some point. :)

Daniel.

I've literally replayed crossworlds like 20 times. So I'm ready for a new game ;)

Hah yeah, have you heard of Legends of Eisenwald? It's kickstarter just finished and the game will be released in October, with a Beta test for backers in July. Still time to join via Paypal if you are interested though.

It's quite King's Bounty/Disciples inspired amongst others.

I have to say I'm looking forward to it. :)

Daniel.

It looks interesting. I'll definitely check it out. I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm really looking forward to the "Wrath of the lamb" expansion for the binding of isaac, and then orcs must die 2 and finally king's bounty warriors of the north. Those are the only games I've really been into for a while. But i'll check out your suggestion

It must be a joke.Even though this is the official forum of the KBWoN, we haven't been able get any nfo about the game such as release date which is a very crucial piece of nfo for some of us.

And again I have to underline that this is the offical forum.Very dissapointing :(

There's always been a lack of official info, technical problems people have are generally ignored etc. Ah well I love King's Bounty so will put up with it.

Daniel.

Yes it would be nice if the mods gave regular(weekly/bi-weekly) updates about this game. Heck even if it's only to say: "well we finished editing such & such"...anything just to keep the fan enthusiam as high as possible.

I guess that's why it's a good thing there are a LOT of entertainment options out there to keep oneself busy, and not have to wait around on one game.
(of course we are all doing just that though! ;))

Bad thing about KB series is that fan base is low in numbers (comparing to other recent games). On other hand every army need lots of grunts, and allot less commanders, and generals to lead mindless masses of footsoliders = KB fans should see themselves as leaders of future army`s :-D
So I understand developers lack of interest for regular announcement for new game. But still only thing we got official is delay of release date from spring 2012, to jun 2012, and now 12.2012 . . . I really hope they give us something worth all this waiting.

Agree with Fatt Shade.
After years of gaming, I tend to think that "the longer the wait = the better the game".
While waiting, I just replay the existing KB games. But my favourite is still KBAP as AP is a cool babe.

Waiting isn't the issue here, but not knowing for how long definitely is.Dev-team could have some problems (technical,marketing etc.) and I understand that.But letting the fans be aware of that gives us an estimated time line for release.

We don't know whether they are fixing small problems such as a few bugs or big problems such as game engine or it's not about fixing anything, they're just polishing the game.These elements can change the deadline and imo results should be addressed here periodically.

In the end we all know this is just a game like any others and I'd also like to think that "the longer we wait, the better game we get" but in this scenerio without proper information I fear it's going to be like "the longer we wait, the less excited we feel" :(

Uhm, last time I checked...gathering news about an upcoming PC game draws no real parallel to the military chain of command. Regardless of country.
We(the fans) don't need a tiered level of information dissemination, just ONE person to give us a monthly update. Just to keep the us "in the loop", and maintain enthusiasm.
I don't think the dev's have a "lack of interest" in putting forth said information, more that they are probably busy with their work, and post messages when they are able.
Also, Spring 2012 & June 2012 are pretty much the same thing. We got the first potential date as Spring 2012...that has now been pushed to Fall 2012. Where did you hear about "12.2012"?

Gamespot has a december 2012 release date. They previously had Spring and then June release dates.

I'm replaying AP and CW at the moment and loving it! I'd only played it once before and that was about 11 months ago. :) Hopefully that should see me through till whenever this releases.

Daniel.

They should publish some news about WotN.

COME ON GUYS!

an idea
 

here is an idea, why don't we ask/beg 1c to make the map editor of KB:Crossworlds more user friendly.

this way, fans can do customized campaigns for them.

look at what happened to heroes of might and magic 3, they have a relatively bug-free 2d map editor and there are over 1000 customized maps/campaigns.

i am gonna be honest, the map editor of KB:Crossworlds looks 100 times nicer, but it must be full of bugs because we haven't seen any customized maps/campaigns.

It's meant to be super complex. There is Red Sands though, so it's obvious possible to do, just hard.

Daniel.

They need to make it less complex then, i.e., more user friendly.

and I see no reason why they can't.

the only thing that's fundamentally different between heroes of might and magic 3 and KB:CW map editors is basically the height and depth of the terrain because HoMM3 is 2d.

Oh I agree with you.

Daniel.

look at this video

like someone said in the comments, imagine if this was a standalone engine, how many awesome medieval themed fantasy games the fans can make themselves? Lord of the rings， Game of Thrones(song of ice and fire), the world of elder scrolls, the world of warcraft... man!

release date
 

Do you know yet the release date, please? Can we hope it will really be in August or is there delay again? Thanks for answer.

The home page currently says "Autumn". Just guessing, that's probably October at the earliest. And I wouldn't hold my breath on that date - the game's been pushed back a couple times already.

Which is okay with me. I'd rather they release a good, relatively bug-free game a bit later, as opposed to rushing it out the door to meet an arbitrary date.

http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/king...north/overview

I wonder why exactly it's being delayed though? As long as it doesn't get cancelled at least.

Daniel.

While I do, to a certain extent, agree with you...

...if they wait too long they run the risk of this game never seeing the light of day!
I'm hoping for the former, and we all get a nice Christmas present this year in the form of this release!

I really hope not, would be such a shame as I really do love King's Bounty!

Daniel.

How about some news from the developers about the progress of the game and the release date?
This IS an official forum, is it not?

Yes, I saw that, thanks.
