Scattered Evil Limited Alpha released

After getting all the flak over the years for communicating our plans in advance and not delivering on estimated dates, we decided to turn it all around... this time we didn't say a single word all year about what we were working on, but now on the traditional KMOD birthday* it is here, ready for download: the Limited Alpha release of Scattered Evil, our upcoming RPG mod.

For more information and the download link, see this topic on the Korax forums.

It's awesome! =D
I like the whole open world approach to it, though the strife peasants repetitive banter of "Good evening to you!" isn't very informative or interesting at this point. The world map system was totally unexpected. I thought it was going to be linear and straight-forward, but it's really quite non-linear and very explorative, something modern FPSs are severely lacking these days. Brings me back to the spirit of good old Hexen when I was wandering around the hub levels aimlessly while trying to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do. I recognize Dark Mage's musical talent, which is incredible =)

I notice there's a multiplayer section in the menu... will this actually be implemented? Or is it just there for no reason? You guys should keep at it. This is amazing.

what does "limited" mean? Is it only going to be available for a short time?
Going to take a look at this soon.
This was really unexpected.

It means game has very limited features at this point.

Doesn't the word "Alpha" already imply that?

We like to be VERY specific, heh!

[quote="RambOrc"]Actually, it's limited in time too.[/quote]Now I feel special for having it =)
edit: why can't I turn BBcode back on?

Check the board settings and the default post settings, you must have disabled BBcode.
