and I can honestly still say that Spiral Knights is consistently one of my favorite games, and has been this whole time. I started the first official day of launch and despite a lot of real life getting in the way, I keep coming back, and hope to for quite some time to come. Lots of laughs and good memories with friends, hard-earned victories before learning the ins and outs of the Jelly King and later Vanaduke.. so many good memories. :D
And the cutest art style I have ever seen in a game like this. I really wish more games looked so visually appealing. It's also been incredibly inspiring to me as an artist and aspiring "game dev" (I use the term lightly as my grasp on coding is tenuous, but I have plans on creating a few basic games in the coming months so here's hoping), seeing this game develop and unfold while still staying largely consistent visually. Team Fortress 2 doesn't even have that honor as the silhouettes and color design get thrown more and more out the window as they add more and more cosmetics.
SK isn't perfect, but I honestly can't think of a single game that IS, not even Phantasy Star Online. ;)
Anywho. Some positivity to thwart all them negative vibes we have going on. This year's Dark Harvest is looking to be pretty awesome! Not an intense grindfest (like we asked), a dash of new content with the masks and Grim Scarabs, and after a few months of hardly thinking about it, I'm honestly pretty excited about the gunner update again?? Or at least some kind of content update. I feel it in my bones.
ANYWAY, POSITIVITY:
how does SK rank as a favorite of yours?
favorite SK memory?
favorite thing about the game?
etc etc etc.
let's just be happy and enjoy the best holiday of the year. c:
SK is the only game that I couldn't let go of( I played many other F2Ps but got tired of them sooner or later). It's also the reason I decided to start game development.
Maybe we could collaborate, eh?
