So what has happened since then? Basically, there have been two releases of Knights, which have achieved the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Updated the Knights codebase so that it works with the latest version of Visual Studio. (This briefly introduced a bug with WinXP compatibility, but that is now fixed.)<\/li>\n<li>Made some changes to daggers, and re-introduced &#8220;gate squishing&#8221;, as requested by KnightRider.<\/li>\n<li>Other bug fixes (too many to list here).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Goals for the next couple of months<\/h3>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ve mentioned this before, but I want to work on improving the front page of the website: not only to make it look better, but also to highlight the features of the game a bit more and try to make it more obvious what is good about the game and why someone should download it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>As regards the game itself I think the next things to work on are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Potions: KnightRider correctly points out that the original Knights had two different sorts of regeneration potions; I intend to add this to the PC version as well (it shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult).<\/li>\n<li>Moo pointed out some issues with the Lua API, which I want to look into.<\/li>\n<li>There is also still a backlog of bugs (thankfully, none of them serious). I want to keep chipping away at these, therefore I&#8217;m aiming to get at least one or two resolved before the next update (in 1-2 months time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>For more information about Knights please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knightsgame.org.uk\/\">http:\/\/www.knightsgame.org.uk\/<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve decided to start doing update posts on a semi regular basis (perhaps once every 1-2 months) to let people know what is going on with Knights.
