I know that the forum is somewhat dead these days

Nice one! Although I wonder why there is a sword lying on the floor.
Is it somewhat special (e.g. large sword or zweihander) or is it because a knight is supposed to drop his default weapon when picking up another one, such as a hammer?

I like it :) I think it's pretty good.
Thanks, glad you like it. :)

Did you play the original Knights?
I did, on my fathers Amiga A1200. I was young when I played it, but it somewhat got stuck
in memory because that was the time I began tinkering with computers in general and I loved
playing this just singleplayer and exploring dungeons, not knowing what is waiting behind the
next door :) I loved the design of setting down a trap and some time later hearing it being
activated even when being quite a bit away from it. Stuff like that added a lot regarding the
tone and atmosphere of the game.

I tried the remake a couple years later (seems like I registered here in 2012)
and it feels pretty close to how I remember it. Unfortunately, I'm not really into playing against
other players over the internet, so I never used that aspect of the remake.

How much is done? Just what we see in the screenshot or is there more?
There are some more weapon sprite variations for combat and stuff, some knight sprites
and some more items but that's about it currently. I'm still working on it though.

Did you get anywhere with your remake or was it just an idea? A newer version of Knights with more modern day mechanics sounds like it could be fun.
Just an idea. I haven't really decided yet if I try my luck on this one. The fact that it would be a pretty
large project kinda holds me off a bit. But If I'd decide to work on a remake, I'd try to focus more on the
exploration and the ability to enjoy it alone or in coop with a friend or two instead of the vs type of
gameplay.
Multiplayer and vs gameplay shouldn't be left out though, since that's how most ppl played and
experienced it back in the day I assume :D

edit

And the game itself is basically made for two player combat, trapping doors and just having a chaotic
but fun experience.

Yeah it wasn't fun. Sigh. At least it works now.

Thank you for helping me to fix my forum :)

Hi,
I know that the forum is somewhat dead these days, but I still wanted to share a small pixel art piece I made that began forming from an idea of
remaking the game (loosely, with some more modern day mechanics & improvements). I'm a bit into game development and coding as a hobby, mainly
working with LÖVE (Lua game framework), but I'm also trying to do my own pixel art from time to time - which led me to work on this out of nostalgia.



Maybe someone sometime will see it and like it.  ;)
cheers!

OK, I think it might be fixed now: please could you try again?

I converted the database to UTF-8.

I think I know what the problem is - it's that "O" character with the umlaut, in LOVE.

Let me try something...

I retried it but still no luck:
