I have been working on a lighting/shadow system. Some of you may have seen the .gif I shared on facebook(below).
I wanted to share a scaled down screenshot so you could see what is to come (collections/bestiary/day-night cycles/etc.). The lighting system really makes a difference of night and day – no pun intended.
The collections will be another bragging right and will also show up on the wiki site when searching for a player. You can turn in any weapons/armor/items that you find. Once you turn it in it shows up in your collection – but will be gone from your backpack forever. This is for all of the hardcore collectors out there. The collections system will also be tracked on the site leaderboards.
I will keep working away and hopefully push this large update (0.9.9) soon. Our new composer, Tanaka Mutaviri, has been creating music for the game. His work is amazing!!
p.s. I also have seemed to fix the server crashing due to the website getting too much action. Tweaked some of the Apache web-server settings. I guess I cannot complain about getting too much traffic to the site. That is the purpose of the Google Ads!

Version 0.9.8 is LIVE – the server is up. Enjoy!!
Version 0.9.8 is live – *wiping my brow*. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to sit down and do this update, but just kept wanting to add more and more. Well it’s about time. I made some changes to the launcher files (KisnardOnline.bat, KisnardOnline.exe, and KisnardOnline.sh) which do not get auto updated when you run the game. For best results download a fresh copy of the Kisnard Online client from the downloads page. If you want to retain your window configuration save off the files in your “conf” folder. Also don’t forget to save your screenshots too.
