Hello everyone!

Incase you haven't been following, we have switched name to Of Kings And Men (Okam) some time ago.

We are making steady progress and the game has changed quite a bit since this group been updated.

Make sure you head over to:

for more information about the game.

See you ingame!

We really want to thank each and everyone who has helped by pledging or simply just spreading the word. All your effort is appreciated and it's what will keep us going.

The Kickstarter is down to less than 24 hours and things look grim. We don't really know what else to do.

Latest we've posted an imgur gallery[imgur.com] , one that hopefully condenses and describes what exactly our game and team is about. Its success depends the good will of people like you all.

Update #4 - Melee Combat: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1601737664/melee-battlegrounds-spiritual-successor-to-the-crp/posts/1068690

For the latest update we have a combat presentation which should help explain the basics and direction we're going for design wise. We will make another combat update where we talk a lot more about the ideas we have for making it deep and engaging, for example via being able to craft/modify your weapon, plus we'll show a lot more fighting than just 1 duel - we want to show a lot of different variations of how an encounter can go about.

For those pondering about the part regarding faking/fooling your opponent by switching attack direction, this is called a 'feint' (Wikipedia - Feint: An offensive movement resembling an attack in all but its continuance. It is an attack into one line with the intention of switching to another line before the attack is completed. A feint is intended to draw a reaction from an opponent. This is the ‘intention’, and the reaction is generally a parry, which can then be deceived.)

What you see in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1bumEUe1Zk is a demonstration of how you can freely choose between any attack angle, this also serves to show how you can perform a feint as explained above. We plan to balance feinting so it doesn't turn into spam.

More updates soon.

Thank you for reading!
