Kaos War collected information

[Moloch]

This series of posts is presented as a service to the KW community.

Note that at this early stage of development, design and features will change. Personally, I regard the Devs posts to be conversations rather than promises. Or, as Tyen said on 19 Jan 07 "Since it is so early in development don't be surprised if things are changed around. What may seem like a good idea on paper may not be so good when implemented."

What’s also changed is the Dev team. Loren (and others) has left, but his comments reflected KW’s direction at that time. When new information comes out that confirms or changes what he said, I’ll delete references to his quotes.

The posts are arranged with newest first in each section. Please let me know about updated or additional information, including the source (FP = forum post)

All comments, indicated by Comment: Blah, blah, blah, are nothing more than my guesses. Because I can’t help myself.

Bottom line up front

1. A gameplay demo was completed in Jan 08 (Press Release on web site). Previously, Damon had announced in Feb 07 that the game was in "prealpha prototype work and core concepts" (Damon, The Game Musketeer, 26 Feb 07), with Damon posting in the forums on 11 Apr 08 that "We ran our first test of our alpha".

2. Funding has been received from a european investment company called Orange Dogs BV. Previously (20 Dec 07) Damon announced in a FP that "SRI has received private equity investment and we making great progress on Kaos War."

3. Finally, in regards to 'player testing stage' in a FP dated 3 Jan 08 Tyen (Community Manager) said "If relatively close means nowhere near close, than you are right.
