It’s coming! This winter, we’ll release the sequel to A Kingdom for Keflings, aptly named A World of Keflings!
I built a lot of buildings and a smattering of other things for this game, and I’m excited to get it out there and start playing with it.
I’ll also have an article up digging a little more into what I do as a game artist here in a little while, using this game as an example.
In the meantime, we have a trailer on YouTube for the game. Our office PR guy Andrew did a great job with this, so here’s hoping you enjoy it and spread the word!
Oh, and then there’s Doug Kefling on FaceBook if you’re one to follow things in that venue:
OMG is it a MMORPG? *runs for cover*
Sorry, I simply could not resist.
I’m sure we could bend the definition enough to call it one.
Let’s see… massive? Yes, your avatar is massive compared to the Keflings. Multiplayer? Yes, both local (yay!) and through Live. Online? Yes, if you’re playing multiplayer via Live. RPG? Yes, in that you’re playing a role of a giant in a trio of kingdoms of Keflings.
Of course it’s more of a crafting game than a “kill stuff and loot it” game… does that count?
Is it just me, or when the question of ‘is it a mmorpg’ comes up, it seems to shove ‘is it fun for anyone?’ to the side?
Fun? MMOs are srs bsns, man! Gotta ding and Achieve so we can raid!
*ahem*
[...] when we come up with something like A World of Keflings, know that it took time and hard work, and isn’t just something cooked up in a garage [...]
This is officially on my Christmas list.
It looks beautiful. The area near :35 seconds with the Zeppelin…you can’t tell that isn’t modeled after the outside of Org in Durotar.
Probably not consciously, but the guy that built it has played WoW…
…though it might be more accurate to suggest that both were modeled roughly with Goblin Valley and southern Utah in mind, which is conveniently only a hundred or so miles away from here.
Thallian, it’s on my list, too! Just… gotta make sure it’s actually done.
I haven’t played WoW in months and it still made me feel like I was on my way to the auction house. I’m very much looking forward to this. Need testers?
We’re set for testers for the XBox version, but when the PC port beta hits, we may need some. We did for AKFK, so if we open up AWFK for testers, I’m definitely going to plug it here.
But I have no issue at all helping you guys iron out bugs on the PC version!
