Is it just me or has there been a distinct lack of an update as to GPS's plans with KnC?

I know theyre planning on working on AoE for the next few years, and I wish em well. But they never told us their plans on what to do with KnC. I personally loved the look of KnC, and would love to see it released sometime...

Whats happening?!

It is on indefinite hold.

It's dead.. As I said various times before CT's message was nothing but a diplomatic cancel announcement.

no

Looks like GPG are doing bad lately. First AOEO is almost dead and they canceled kings and castles. I hope GPG don't close down as I liked them before the age of empires fiasco.

We just have to wait.

Sorry I find what you said hard to believe. If kings and castles was still on the back burner GPG would at least let their loyal customer know.

There's a reason it's called indefinite hold; GPG doesn't know when they are going to start working on KnC again. Thus, they can't say anything about it. Why are you asking for communication when there's nothing to communicate? CT already made the situation very clear.

I think KnC was mostly a demonstration to show Microsoft what they could do whilst bidding for the AoE:Online business.

If they dont get the business, they're part way through developping a new game. If they do, they have a nice new contract with microsoft and only a few forum users who were eagerly awaiting KnC will be disappointed.

I think Microsoft approached GPG(or at least that's how it was told to us), it just doesn't seem practical to for GPG to do it as you describe really, considering we got Vblogs for 30-something weeks, and it was worked on before that as well, thats too long term for what you sugest IMO.

Lets be serious Stin here, this does not make any sense. There would be no E3 trailer, no Vblogs and No "indefinite hold".

why do you people even react to such an ill informed statement? Its down right obvious that that would never happen

Its not a serious idea. I'm not tied to it in any way.
It was a brief fleeting idea that I commited to these forums at the time.

K&C is just on hold why make K&C and not get payied till it comes out or work on AoEO and get paying while doing it they might have K&C canceled to use does not not thinking of new ways to inprove it.

GPGnet has done nothing like K&C before so they can also be using AoEO to gain the skills needed to complete the project in the long run.

Ugh, I dont want them to use skills taken from AOE, theyve got all the skills they need with Supcom1/2

Also reddev, do you have a link to the IRC chat that you did with CT way back in 22 september 2010? I would like to read it

well i do have the hmtl of it some where as i re done the layout both of my server has just droped what are the chances i am looking now

there back up

Thanks very much !

Perhaps Microsoft will enjoy GPG's work on AoE:O so much that they will invite them to do the AoE4 project.

Hooooorayyyy....

Well, it really depends how involved MS will be really.

Mike

Would be cool ,but they can't work for them a couple of years o,o

I really hope MS hated AoEO then.
