Hey folks,

So I got a video done last night before heading to work, and I've just finished another hour and change worth of video's. I'm converting them now, and will get them fully uploaded tonight for you all to enjoy. The fun thing is that it's clearly a beta, so you get to enjoy things that happen as a beta. Losing text completely to finally getting a harbor! Yay!

Right now, I've only got the one video up that I got converted, but it's right near that 10 minute mark. So you can enjoy a bit of it. This is also a focus on the Ky'Riss series, so it's Kingdom related. And it's a case of me exploring the game and it's new updates.

There is a lot of good associated with this beta, and the normal stuff to keep an eye out for.

So come on over, and check back later tonight around 9pm or so Central as I should have the new videos converted and uploaded to Youtube by then and will post them in the blog.

Oh and if in the video's I get a little silly, it's me just letting out the natural randomness of life, as I explore the beta.

Gorstagg,

great gameplay videos, I watched a few so far. As for now I can't play the beta cause I'm on vacation. I can use the internet, but it's no machine for playing computer games. So the new footage comes in just in time.

So I appreciate your work a lot. Hope you keep it up till release :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words. 

In honor of that, with that first video, there is now 75 minutes of new footage, for Elemental: War of Magic. Beta 3A.

And because this version of the game is much better... I'm going to be having a lot more fun exploring it and recording those explorations!

So check out the website, and enjoy something that costs only the time you wish to invest in it. And you can even bring popcorn into the theater. My payment is sharing a great game with all those who are interested!

Thanks mister. I have not been able to play Elemental for the last 4 versions (crashes on clicking new game). This will help me with my withdrawal pains...

Good morning everyone,

Well after working on some stuff I got another 38 minutes of video footage up. Ky'Riss parts 12, 13, 14, & 15.

These include some battles with wandering tough monsters.. and were a lot of fun.

(As always if you don't see the videos in 1080p HD, give them some time and check back and they'll be updated once Youtube has finished processing them.)

That should be the direct link to these new 4 videos. Also you can always just go to the home page and see what's up front.

And to all of you watching. I'm glad your enjoying them. I've been in the shoes of a fan craving any new information about a game that I'm just dying for. So that's what has inspired me to make these. Especially since Stardock is treating us all as part of the Team. With what we share, being of actual importance to them. 

That said, obviously not everything will ever make it in, as Brad has mentioned. Lots of things go through the 3 phases before they get into the game.. so the fun factor... what you may of suggested may actually be on their Testing Concept Phases.. and until it makes it's way down the road, they don't mention it. But they are always listening. Because they realize what a gigantic resource WE the community are to them. Never forget that. They know, and they truly appreciate and value our help. I don't get passionate about companies. They are entities designed to make money. But the people behind this company, while making money, also truly remember the call of the game, the joy of fantasy experienced. This is not sucking up. This is just pure observation any external outsider objectively noticing.

So keep up your ideas, even if they can't put them in now, or even later right away. They are listening to us. They may have even heard my idea on satellite organic city development. And it didn't work out. But maybe it inspired in them a different idea that unlocks a greater part of gameplay. Well then I say good. (I still think the satellite community idea is a strong one.)
