Alpha of the pilot begins in like 17 days.

Woah.

What did you expect to find in an evil temple?

New and improved UI. Well, mostly. Still needs some tweaks and bug-fixes, but we're close:

Alpha begins... uh... any day now. I've got a list of items I'm clearing off so I don't get a dozen people all sending me the same bugs, but... we're close.

Just out of curiosity, what happens to the game's user interface on a widescreen monitor?

It, unfortunately, stretches. Or you can run it in a window.

What are the system requirements for this game going to be? It's looking really good, and now I have a computer that I think may be able to run it.

I'm really not 100% sure of its system requirements - I haven't tested it on anything below a 2 ghz, 3-year-old laptop. Maybe the alpha testers can help me out on this. :)

The pilot episode (available in April) will be PC-only. The full release (umm... sometime after that) will also have a Mac version. I'm not promising Linux yet.

My "new" and best computer is a Pentium 4M 1.6 Ghz laptop with 512 MB of ram and a 32 MB nVidia GeForce4 Go. (I use older hardware...)

If you'd like, though, whenever you need testers, I could see Frayed Knights runs on the above hardware.

That might be pushing it, at least with the first alpha. I intend to change the lighting system somewhat so I can actually disable dynamic lighting and shadows on certain objects (mainly, enemies) because of the framerate hit even on better machines. Until I get that fix into the engine, I expect it might bring your machine to its knees. Let's see if I can fix that in the next 2 weeks and get you a build...

Ooh, that's too bad. My PC is also similar spec to BDZ. My Mac is better though.

I *DO* intend to do a Mac release with the full version - but that's many moons away. The pilot version is going to be PC-only.

There's a humongous interview with me about Frayed Knights now up at RPGWatch.com:

Frayed Knights Interview at RPGWatch

I liked their intro: "We catch up with Jay to talk about his indie CRPG in development and why he took just about every risky choice with the design that you could imagine."

You worked on Twisted Metal? You have no idea how much me and my brother loved that game. #2 was fun as well. Then other companies got a hold of it and it blew. :(
