    Considering this game has, currently, 16,600 backers on kickstarter, how is there so little activity on this forum??? :( It seems to have really died off in the last two or three days :( when the most recent post is by me half and hour ago and the one before that was me three hours ago, it makes me depressed :( well not clinically, but a little part inside goes :'(

    Most likely when there's more concrete info out, there will be more to talk about. :) Until then it's just guessing and wishing...

    Is there an active IRC community? Cool, i'll probably stop by next time :)

    Yeah it'll grow as the game does... and the updates/diary entries are so rare, I was hoping for one every few days during kickstarter, they're half way through and done 2 D:

    It was insane like you said when the Kickstarter was out, everyone was in huge masses online just for it. But now, not so much since everyone is waiting for the Kickstarter to be over so they can receieve the game and THEN will everyone be discussing it on here! :D

    As krazykorn said, once the prototype is released, you will see a massive spike in membership and communication; especially in posting media of creations.

    Honestly, most users out here are lurkers, as stated before, there will probably be a rise in the community once a part of the game is released to public.

    The most active time was back in January. Honestly, it won't ever get that active until there is content to discuss and share. From the prototype's release and on, I expect a higher level of activity but until then, it will only really be occasional posts with activity spiking during dev posts. Perhaps post-kickstarter, the devs can directly link to the forum in a diary post.

    I just try post as much as possible to keep it active :eek:
    But, it will definitely spike come the official prototypes release.

    if i recall one of the dev diaries, the reddit community has been a very loyal crowd... perhaps there are a number of folks over there?

    havent ventured there myself yet...

    If you think the last few days were bad you should have been around for the few weeks or months where no new content was released. While the team was busy trying to sort their problems getting the kickstarter up and running, the dev diaries suffered and contained nothing to interesting. The forums were completely dead for days on end. But right now the forums are not as active because there has not really been any new content released since the kickstarter. Today a new video was released with a little bit of new content (mainly the 3 units, the enemy unit, and some combat/ item clarifications) so i assume the forums will get a new burst of attention for a few days from that. Other then the occasional spurt here and there from new videos or posts, we will have to wait til the prototype in October for the forums to truly be alive.

    Yes, these last two weeks have been rather active in comparison to the time before the kickstarter.

    I'm mostly just lurking since there isn't much solid info to discuss. I'm not one to do much speculating unless there is solid details which we really won't have until the prototype releases based on how the devs reveal content. After that you can bet I'll be doing various analyses of the combat system, resource chains, castle design, etc. as well as providing feedback on what areas of the game feel strong and weak with regards to content and balance.

    With the ongoing kickstarter and development of the prototype, everything that can be proposed has been about run dry as far as suggestions go; so mostly it is will be a bit slow until the prototype hits, with random spikes during updates. I am sure it will be in full swing come the prototype and beta.

    Well, don't you think when the game is released people will want to spend more time playing it than being on the forums?

    From other, similar creative games, people LOVE to post creations and new finds within the forums; and I hope to organize a few contests such as modeling castles off historic structures to see who can attain the most accurate ingame model, and contests for the most defensive/creative castle as well.

    Good point.
