  Update-

  Hi guys I thought I would post another update as to what we have done lately. Firstly let me apologies for the lateness of the release. Having corporate issues never helped. We have secured a new level designer that has been helping me with a few things. We had a bottleneck on the gpu when testing the last update that had to be resolved. When have been working on a server side database for all game stats and inventories, hopefully this will stop hacking and exploiting playerprefs. As most unity based games use playerprefs its easy to change the details and boost your character. So coupling sql database with runtime binary serialization will hopefully stop this. We have implented a anti cheat system to that not only banns steam accounts, it also bans the cheaters ip address. Looking at other popular games on the marker and seeing the ban rate for these games. I believe I owe it to the players to ensure that we dont ever see these high numbers for bans. Because the higher the ban number the more legit players are interacting with cheats and wrecking the legit players experience. We have worked on finalising the skill system including new ui and functionality. We have random room function that joins a random server. We have finished the persistant player function- What this means: We have planned to realese other maps in the future around the same 100 x 100 km size. These maps will run on different servers but players can go to those servers and explore to find items not found in the main map. This will help with the econemy and server load balancing. I have a vision of raiding parties from server A attacking a village from server F, server B then attacks them back. There will still be fights between villages on the one server but this adds some more danger to the mix. In the not to distant future we will be releasing the server build, so if anyone has a server and wants to host their own world feel free to contact me. best wishes guys and see you on the battlefield

  We are edging closer and closer

  So after loosing 2 of the other Devs last year it has just been me working on it. Rob (the one that is left) does the finance and legal side of things, although he is good to shoot ideas at lol, So I have been killing myself to finish. But like I have stressed from the start, It wont come out till it passes my standard. So without further blabbing on, here are the patch notes of recent. Created and easier log in process. Built a test headless server to run the game on and got it working. Fixed some server side issues to do with textures. Created a new main menu (its a live main menu). Created server side load and save functionality, so you can join worlds persistently and take your character with you. Re-designed the ocean system, It now procedural generates saving fps loss. Starter working on the skill system to sync properly over the network. As a side note * If you are a 3d artist and would like some work please dont hesitate to contact me either on discord or email. Apologies for the lateness again guys and girls Im not giving up on this ever lol (It wont beat me no matter how many curve balls life throws ).

  Happy hollidays

  Hi guys, Firstly let me thank you all for making me take a break and enjoy Christmas and the holidays with my family I feel rested and refreshed. With that being said though.. I did do some sneaky work on the game whilst I was relaxing lol. So with the new year upon us. I thought I would fill you all in on a few things happening. #1 Over the holidays I developed a server build that will be shipped with the game itself. What this means is, you can if you would like, run a server on your computer or your actual server if you have one. Or rent space from a cloud company or whatever and host your own room. Simply fill out the document eg. room name, details, blah blah blah and follow the instructions and you can be all set up with your own world that others can join. #2 Buying land or renting houses in pre-made towns. Go and see the jarl and if you have the coin purchase land to build on.(The reason this was implemented was to stop people joining a server building a crappy base then bailing leaving the server cluttered and messy) The houses themselves can be rented for a weekly fee. #3 for some reason we over looked syncing the weather system to the network so that has now been fixed. Again guys and girls thanks for your support and patience whilst waiting for the release. And trust me no one wants this out more than me. But it needs to be at a standard that will make you want to play it constantly and be our forever family. I will keep you all posted about the release... Give me your feed back I was thinking about adding other players into the story line. So each new player will have their main quest, but it might involve other active players on the server. So Player A joins and gets a quest to find his uncle and deliver a hat or something (so creative lol). But his uncle actually turns out to be Player B. What do you all think? This will need to be a future update I think. I would love some feed back before i open that can of worms though. Anyway merry belated x-mas a...

  Pushed the release back a little

  Ok guys, for the sake of full transparency I will let you all know what happened. Firstly our team of 4 has dropped down to a team of 2. 2 of the other devs helping me quit the project after trying to force the release on the 20th. It wasn't quite ready, so there was a sudo-corporate coup. Secondly the netcode we had written to make servers for this game. Has been depreciated. We are busting our arses to rewrite it all. hopefully with a bit of luck we should be right in 2 weeks time from now. Sorry guys but it will be worth the wait.

  Official release date

  Firstly let me take this opportunity to say thank you to all your support. We have made some major changes these past few weeks, so we have been a little quite on the old announcement front. With that being said we have an official release date for PHASE 1 of viking age 20TH DEC 2018. what is phase 1 you ask??? Phase 1 is a full working copy of the the networked combat system. This includes npc's(animal and human), towns and multiplayer battles. Players can host a room and or join their friend in a team or play solo against everyone. This is a seudo battleroyal type deal, just without a time limit or that pesky blue circle. There are re-spawns, towns to loot, people to kill and gold to collect. You will spawn firstly with nothing, run around and find some clothes and weapons. You can then choose to go look for trouble or fortify a town with the traps and defences you find along the way. The quest system will also be in place but only side quests because we have a surprise for PHASE 2 we are working on. here is a sneak peak at the map from far out it might not look that big but believe me it is. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32975198/3861605c39832a6c0b44f24382c8662b56efe9c2.png *note: We are working hard to rewrite the code to give us the ability to save towns at runtime. But because the terrain is so huge and procedurally generated we have had to take it back to the drawing board. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ON THE DISCORD CHANNEL GUYS IM ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK. JUST DONT GIVE ME GRIEF ABOUT MY ACCENT LOL.
