I have been working on Kisnard Online now for four years. All of my recent updates have been based on polishing the game (new art, new features, bug fixes, etc.) so it fits suit that I have been working on a custom graphical user interface (GUI). Skinning Java swing elements was no easy task and required much custom code. I think the new look will be totally worth it. I took the time to write the code well so that I can completely customize it as I see fit.
Here is a little preview of the new look on the backpack window.
Hopefully this will help players to immerse themselves in the world more. Happy four year anniversary Kisnard Online!

Just launched version 0.9.5 of the game. Check out the release notes page for all of the details! Version 0.9.5 brings tons of new art in the game and now I can begin working on new quests/content/etc. I am very excited to get to really work on this type of stuff. Version 0.9.5 will set me up to have the assets and artwork I need! 🙂
Users on MAC are hopefully able to launch the game properly now like Windows/Linux users already were. For best results download a fresh copy of the Kisnard Online client from the downloads page.
**coming ahead** As I mention above I will be working on new quests/content/etc. on the next version, but I am also working on a fresh look for the GUI windows of the game. I am also working on redoing the minimap so it shows more and paints faster. **coming ahead**
