Hello!
Just wanted to drop in and mention that the progress on TKI is regular and consistent again, and I'm nearing the point where we can have a working game again later this year!
I've secured hosting for the game, and continue to develop on GitHub. Right now I'm working through more code tightening/refactoring, but the next milestone is fixing the login/signup/recovery process so that the game can go live once again.
Next after that will be a focus on the AI players, and then a workable install process.
It's coming along! So far, the codebase is still extremely similar in playstyle to BNT. In time, once we get the major issues resolved, that will change.
I'll be aiming for Halloween, but time will tell if I hit that target.

Yeah, BNT really needs to have the recovery feature added, atm players just email me to generate a new random password for them.
Yeah, these types of game really need better AI.thekabal wrote:Next after that will be a focus on the AI players, and then a workable install process.

Yeah, my new version is starting to get to a point where I can start adding in game stuff, I just had to get my networking code working right, I explain more in my dev blog.
But I am glad you are getting stuff done.

Can we expect another Kabal invasion anytime soon?thekabal wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 06:27 UTC Hello!

What a lovely hope! Sadly my interests have drifted far from TKI & BNT, and I haven't found myself coding on either in .. months.
I still keep an eye on current events. But no, I don't foresee a new TKI anytime soon.

I know the feeling, with all my health issues not getting any better I cannot spend as much time as I use to on BNT.
But the way the amount of users playing the game is decreasing I cannot see me continuing supporting the game in the long run.
Sure I will be continuing the work on my game a bit like BNT, this is due to it being a hobby of mine and also I will be making it into a game that I would like playing.
Playing BNT at the moment for new players (and I have seen it in my logs) is like walking into the road in front of moving traffic, i.e. its a slaughtering and that is why players are decreasing like it is.
BNT doesn't need to be like this, a game should be fun to play for everyone and not just for the attacker.
That was why I was wanting to do my own version of it, but back then I was in a full time job, and all my free time was bug fixing, maintaining this server etc leaving no free time.
But now I have the time, the game is less popular than it was back then which is rather sad.
