Frayed Knights Now Available!
A dainty elvin warrior with an inferiority complex and a hot temper.
A thrill-junky rogue who considers defying death the best alternative to boredom.
A cute but scatterbrained sorceress with destructive tendencies.
A tree-hugging nature-priest who wonders why everyone can't just get along.
Together, they are going to save a kingdom from destruction...
...if they don't kill each other first.

FRAYED KNIGHTS PILOT: The Temple of Pokmor Xang
Now Available!
I'm not sure what else to say. You folks who have been following the development of this game - well, half of you have been helping me test, and the other half probably know more about the game than you would if you'd already played it once. But the pilot episode of the indie RPG Frayed Knights is now available for download. This is a short "demo" adventure - a single quest which should probably take anywhere from a half hour to two hours to explore.
Now, the pilot episode is free - mostly. I do have one request. At the end of the game, you'll be taken to a survey page. Here, I ask what you think about the game. I'm going to use this valuable information for improving it with the next edition of Frayed Knights - the full version. I want to know what you think. I already know it's not perfect, but I need to know what comes out and strikes you as particularly good and particularly bad.
Let me know what you think. And I'm going to see if I can't sleep for a week... (I wish...)
And I apologize - as announced before, the pilot is Windows-only. A Mac version (and probably Linux) is planned for the full version, already in development.

'grats! Sorry I wasn't able to join in the testing (getting a game of my own out the door for testing). I'll take some time today to check it out!
Congratulations, Jay! - and thanks for letting us watch, learn, comment and help. I'm looking forward to seeing how FK does now that it's out in the cold, cruel world :-)
Congratulations! As soon as I get my own demo out the door (not a game, sadly) I'll give it a play-through. In the mean time, I passed along the link to a few friends who should enjoy it.
Great news! Still, I must comment that the size isn't exactly modem-friendly -- if I find your PNG's ain't compressed and you've got tons of .wav's, I'ma gonna get you! ;)

Congrats Jay! Pat yourself on the back for making it to this important milestone. I need to go and finish my game now.
Thanks folks!
I wish I could say it was all I had hoped and dreamed of, but ... well, anybody who's ever released a game knows that it never actually gets DONE, it just gets released. But I'm pretty proud of the results. And if people aren't just being nice to me on the surveys (which is always a possibility), the results have so far been pretty positive.

Woo! After following its development for so long, seeing the pilot available for download feels a bit like coming face-to-face with Nessie. :)
Downloaded. I'll play through it later tonight, then take the survey and plug it to all and sundry.

Downloaded it, played it and feedbacked it =)
I hope the verbosity of my feedback wasn't too much to take in one reading. Cheers!

You have to increase the walking speed!!! I posted it a lot in the survey too. It goes way way way too slowly!

I have read through every single survey (over 200 of them so far!), and I'm implementing many of the suggestions. Walking speed has already been increased. :)
