King Bounty Online

[Renevent]

Wow! Interesting direction to take the series to say the least. I just hope they don't turn KB into somekind of online casual facebook game

Rough translation:

Company KranX Productions, founded by the famous Russian game-inventory Andrew "KranK" Kuzmin, and Nival Network, one of the leading Russian companies in the field of online games, led by Sergei Orlov, announce a joint MMO-project King's Bounty Online.

Nival are... Oh, HoMM V, right? Or is that a different developer?

any real fan of the series won't even bother to touch the online-version.

when you go online, you go straight to video.

If the designers and programmers of the original game will be doing it... I'm all for it.

It can only be better then the horrible Heroes of MIght and Magic Online game. (There are no enemy heroes or castles or mines on the adventure maps, and you actually have to lose battles and get your units killed by the thousand to upgrade them! Pity, because I liked the graphics).

I'm just wondering what part in the development of this game, the Katauri team will play. It seems that it might be a little one base on the tiny bit of information you can get from the web!

Does that mean that Katauri is actually working on a whole different game?

I hope!

Hello MR Katauri, any news?

The info says it's a joint project... that's already better then Heroes Online which neother 3DO nor Ubisoft had any hands in.

(I wonder what Jon Von Caneghem is doing these days.)
