Hey, how's it going around here? I haven't posted much here lately, but I had to come by to advertise the mod I've been working on
The first beta version of Pirates, Vikings and Knights II was released a few days ago. It is a sequel to the original Half-Life 1 multiplayer mod, but now on the much better looking Source engine. The players can choose between 3 unique teams which all have their advantages and weaknesses. Right now there is one player class per team, the weak but fast Skirmisher for pirates, the powerful raging Berserker viking, and the Heavy Knight who has the heaviest armor and the biggest sword in the game, but obviously the slowest walking speed. More classes will be added in later releases, so keep an eye on us!
As the mod mainly focuses on melee combat, we have tried to make the mod interesting by extending the original hack n' slash melee system by features such as directional attacks, blocking and stunning. Most of the classic gamemodes are there, such as Booty where you have to steal treasure chests and bring them to your base, something you certainly haven't seen in other mods!
Can't wait to work on the bots for this game, but sadly the gameplay features come first!
